A city centre community hub is said to be the perfect spot for geeks to “leave the outside world behind”.
On the surface, Geek Retreat, found on Church Street, is an inclusive gaming cafe which doubles up as a community events hub and a safe space. It specialises in "all things geeky" including comics, memorabilia and tabletop games and offers Marvel and WWE fans a room to talk about all the latest gossip.
However, Chris Rule, the Liverpool store’s general manager, tells the ECHO “it is actually much more than that”. The venue prides itself on being able to offer “such a venue to those who need it or those looking to share their hobbies and interests when they have nowhere or no one else to share them with”.
