Gambit Social House Grand Opening

By Mike Bartoszek

The day finally came, the ribbon cutting for Gambit Social House, April 12th 2024! 

To say this business has been highly anticipated is gross understatement, our area has wanted, has desired, has needed a place like this for adults. 

Walking into the building your eyes are met first with the huge beer wall, a pay as you go beer-on-tap self-service beverage spectacle, and then the sound of axes thumping against wooden targets hits your ears.

“Our venue is an adult entertainment venue” Nick Bell, Co-owner told me “but not a typical adult entertainment venue. We know that in this area there has been a real lack of fun things to do for adults. There are quite a few entertainment venues for kids, places like Chuck e Cheese and Urban air, but there hasn't really been any place for adults to come, have a drink, maybe throw some axes or run an escape room.”

After a series of welcoming remarks and gifts given to Nick and the other co-owners from several Harker Heights Chamber of Commerce members and Harker Heights Mayor Michael Blomquist, the social hour at the Gambit Social House officially kicked off. Dozens of guests toured the beer wall, threw axes and socialized over a cocktail or two around a beautiful wooden bar. 

The Gambit Social House is family friendly until 8pm, afterwards anyone under 18 will be turned away Nick said. “We check ID’s at the door. We’re just trying to create a place where adults can come and chill out after work.”
