RICHMOND, Va. -- It’s game-over for the first arcade-bar that led the trend’s charge into Richmond years ago. The Circuit Arcade Bar has closed permanently at 3121 W. Leigh St.

Its immediate closure was announced with a note on its door late last week.

The Circuit was among the first trendy, entertainment-focused bars to arrive in Scott’s Addition. It opened in 2017 and was followed shortly after by Bingo Beer Co., bowling alley River City Roll, shuffleboard bar Tang & Biscuit, and Slingshot Social Game Club, the last of which is also owned by The Circuit co-owners and married couple Robert and Ingrid Lupica.
