TORONTO, Oct. 4, 2019 /CNW/ - Duke's Refresher has officially opened its doors in St. Lawrence Market at 73 Front Street East. The new Duke's Refresher offers guests a roster of dining, drinking and playing options including new and retro arcade games, a mini basketball court, hand-stretched pizzas, 38 beers on tap ? and that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface!

"This new location was heavily inspired by the more laid-back nature of the 70s and pays tribute to simpler times," said Peter Fowler, CEO, SIR Corp. "From the eclectic mix of vintage décor and retro inspired rooms, to classic arcade games, Duke's offers a lot of nostalgic elements to remind guests to not take themselves ? and life - too seriously."

• Play: Grab your coins and get after it, Duke's has over 15 arcade classics including Taxi Pinball, Galaxian, Area 51, Buck Hunter, and more! And if shooting hoops is more your style, check out the two-player mini basketball court, along with Shuffleboard, Pool and Ping Pong tables.
• Paint: Drinks and painting more your thing? Come check out Duke's impressive gallery of velvet paintings - you can even take one home for the right price! Also keep an eye out for Duke's inaugural painting party happening this fall.
