Super Geeks, activate! If the Simpsons came out today, rather than the comic book guy, they might instead have the Internet cafe guy, and they could easily communicate the same humor if it were to look exactly like Vernon's Down Town Internet Lounge. This place is full of geek collectibles, from vintage Star Wars paraphernalia to Minecraft and Minions. They offer both food groups, Junk & Fast, including a $5 combo of 2 pizza pops, a can of pop and a bag of chips. Yes, I did have the combo, and I felt like I was eight years old again. Oh, and sorry for not photo-documenting the cuisine. Televisions quietly beam cartoon network around the store, however most patrons are glued to their screens playing Warcraft or Call of Duty or whatever. There's also a sofa with a big screen TV and an assortment of consoles if that's your preference. There were alongside me a handful of thirtyish guys playing pc games who may or may not have worked and /or lived at the store, as well as a parade of young kids, I'd say 13 & under, who came in and out to play and who looked at the grown ups who got to play video games all day as Gods. It was all really very cute, as were the looks on the faces of the parents who walked into this Nerd Mecca to collect their young children after hours in the store. I was just looking for a place to download some movies amidst my travels, but I found so much more. I'm glad for places like this; they really make a neighborhood more colourful. If you're passing through and looking for Internet, if certainly recommend stopping in. Besides, those geek computers were really quite zippy! read more

Down Town Internet Lounge - Storefront - Internet Cafes Near Me - Vernon, British Columbia

My kids love coming to the Internet Lounge. Its great on a rainy day when all I hear is "mom, can we do something" and gives me a chance to go run errands while they are there (my kids are older btw). One of the employees, Mike, is always friendly. I held a birthday there one year and everyone enjoyed! My youngest has wanted to join their all-nighter events but I am not at that point yet!!!! Whatever the case, the Internet Lounge is a great place, reasonably priced, and good for an afternoon! read more
