Hi Wegaboo,
Your idea is nice. But a simple cofee/arcade game is not enought - I think - for your place to be a habbit for people that live in Bahrain.
I would advice you for example, to organize games tournament, such as Guitar Hero for music, PES for soccer, Singstar for people that like to sing, Wii Sports, etc...
I think by organizing those kind of manifestations. you will get your place more attractive. You will make people want to go to your cofee and either see the tournament - having a drink - or either do the tournament - playing the games -
By doing that you will use both side of your activity.

Re: arcade games coffee house in bahrain
hey spredzy,
you are totally right, i was thinking about games tournament as well. for me the place is more clubbing than a regular coffee shop where you can interact easily with people,play and have fun. i went to Bahrain last April and i haven't seen something smiler. what i am worried about is how many game geeks in Bahrain? and will a place with no shisha work good?
thanx for ur reply man

Re: arcade games coffee house in bahrain
For the non-shisha aspect, I think that it will be a plus, lot of people like to be in a smokeless environment.
About game geeks here I don't know. I honneslty have no idea. But I think that, for some game, you don't need to be a geek 
Guitar Hero, is just to have fun with your friend on some songs that everybody knows.
Pro Evolution Soccer, will be just guy, that likes soccer, trying to prove that hey are the best, in front of girls
.
It all depends on what game you will pick up.
According to yours answers, I think that the interior design and the atmosphere (music, people, etc ...) will be the keys for your success.
Hope that I could help.
