Level Up Gaming – Princeton, WV, USA

A newly-opened gaming lounge dubbed “a home for nerds” featuring tabletop and console rentals. Located at 1205 Stafford Drive, Level Up Gaming opened its doors in April 2025 as a fresh gaming and tabletop lounge for the Princeton community. The newly established space is quickly becoming recognized as “a home for nerds,” blending casual play with competitive events within a welcoming, community-driven environment.
Level Up Gaming’s lounge offers a wide range of recreational experiences—from console gaming stations and tabletop setups to membership-driven rentals that embrace a flexible access model. In addition to standard drop-in play, the venue hosts monthly Super Smash Bros. Ultimate tournaments, as well as previous card game competitions and future plans for cosplay nights and anime marathons—making it a growing hub for themed gaming culture in the region.
What sets it apart is its intention to nurture community connection: it’s emphasized that having a local, semi-competitive gaming space encourages social bonds, friendly competition, and new friendships—something Princeton has long been missing.
In short, Level Up Gaming is more than just another gaming venue—it’s a newly minted community gathering space bridging casual play, tabletop culture, and organized esports-style competition for players across age groups and interests.
