Localhost Philadelphia (Nerd Street Gamers) – 40,000 sq ft Gaming & Esports Arena

Anchored at 401 N Broad Street within Nerd Street’s flagship esports campus The Block, Localhost Philadelphia stands as both a high-tech gaming destination and a competitive headquarters for organized play. Spanning over 40,000 square feet, the venue houses 118+ top-tier PCs, 20 next-gen consoles, a full-scale tournament stage with spectator seating, and production facilities equipped for live broadcasting and content creation.

Localhost welcomes everyone—from casual gamers and students to semi-pro and professional competitors. It regularly hosts LAN parties, youth bootcamps, seasonal leagues, private events, and major tournaments across popular titles, including fighting-game circuits and Smash series events. The facility’s flexible layout (nearly 17,000 sq ft of customizable space) also makes it ideal for birthday parties, community watch events, and brand activations.

Community engagement remains central to the venue’s mission. Localhost partners annually with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, giving hundreds of children aged 6–13 free access to PC and console play during the summer months. The space also supports cultural programming such as anime trivia nights, Blerd Bash cosplay festivals, and PHL Gaming Week—blending competition, creativity, and community spirit.

Weekly and seasonal tournaments maintain a steady rhythm of competition, from THE FINALS and Creative Clash Fortnite meetups to League of Legends academy sessions. Visitors consistently praise Localhost Philly for its clean, inclusive atmosphere, high-speed hardware, attentive staff, and practical amenities like rewards programs, snack options, and streamlined logins—making it one of the most complete out-of-home gaming environments in the region.
