DOVER — Forget the cigars. Bring on the arcade games and beer.

In the former location of Dover’s Federal Cigar Shop at 284 Central Ave., Tokens Taproom is planning to open an arcade bar this summer. It will be nestled between Stronghold Barbershop and Dos Amigos Burritos just south of City Hall. Stronghold’s owner, Josh Hynes, and fellow-barber John Stuart, are opening the arcade bar.

“It won’t be like anything else around here,” Hynes said.

There are similar concepts around the country, such as the large chain Dave & Buster’s that has two locations in Massachusetts.

The arcade bar will have a connector to Stronghold Barbershop, which already has 15 arcade and pinball games in the back of the store for customers. In total, Hynes said the plan is to have 40 to 50 classic video games and pinball machines between the two businesses. He said he already has a stash of arcade games in storage waiting to be moved in. Once it opens, Hynes said they hope to start a regional pinball league.

In addition to having a beer and wine license, Tokens Taproom plans to also sell comfort food.

Hynes said the Tokens Taproom idea has been percolating since last summer. By the time the former cigar shop vacated the space, there was already a deal in place for the storefront. When they got the keys on Feb. 1, the first order of business was to gut the shop and have it professionally cleaned to remove the cigar smell, Hynes said.

Earlier this year, Federal Cigar moved into the more spacious location on Central Avenue and Broadway in the former location of Baldface Books. Last year, Baldface Books downsized and moved across the street where it shares space with Flight Coffee Company.

Hynes said the renovation work is moving forward quickly and they hope for an early summer opening. Already, there is a buzz growing after the two announced Tokens Taproom on Facebook on Tuesday. “It blew-up like crazy,” he said.
