New gaming center brings fun to Humboldt

HUMBOLDT, Tenn. —One gaming center is giving you the chance to pick up the controller and get you game on.

Phoenix 99 is a digital gaming center that opened its doors this month to gamers of all ages in Humboldt.

The center hosts gaming tournaments, parties and more.

It costs $8 to play hourly and $25 for a daily pass Tuesday through Thursday.

You can be in a place where you can experience gaming and eating great food at the same time, and that’s just a nice time to build relationships and gain more experience, while doing two of the most fun things to do,” said Keiondre McAllister, owner’s son.

If you’d like to visit the center, it is located at 3042 B Eastend Drive in Humboldt.
