EXP Restaurant & Bar - Halo 4 Launch

Last week I went to check out EXP Restaurant and Bar on the Halo 4 launch night. EXP is a very cool video game themed restaurant that opened earlier this year, that pairs video games with your dining/drinking experience. Because Halo 4 was just released, all the screens in the restaurant had the game up, with people able to play. The menu items were all plays on names from video game themes and characters. The Master Chief burger was on special, naturally. I really enjoyed the food there, and I think I'll be going back!  

EXP is located just a block down from International Village.

Retro Lancer from Gears of War above the bar.

Lots of video game decor.

The place was packed for the Halo 4 launch night.

Master Chief Burger - there was also an onion ring inside the burger - delicious!

Epic Shrimp & Crab Battle for Righteousness - prawn tempura, crab salad, and avocado. Another lip-smacking burger.

Someone was dressed up as a spartan!

I Bought #Halo4 at Midnight

Yeeeeah I did. How late did you stay up to play last night?

The Xbox street teams were on location, hosting a 4 vs 4 team tournament!

Master Chief made an appearance.

Picked up the game when the store opened at midnight. Also won a Halo 4 poster when my team won the challenge!
