Well, You can't spell "CoshOCTOn" without the word "OCTO" as in Octopoda, ie: Octopus... so it's just shortened to "POD" and as for the "Goggles" it's refering to "Steampunk", which is a creative subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery. Sorry if we have you confused! Just think of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, The Time Machine by H.G. Wells or The Steam Man of the Prairies by Edward S. Ellis... then include Pirates of the Caribbean!
Pod & Goggles is an industrial, sweetly gothic, locally themed restaurant, lounge and entertainment destination located in the LOW-DOW District. Many call it Squid Row! OPEN ONLY to ADULTS 21 & OVER. Bring I.D.
YES! We have Authentic Crystal Glencarin whisky glasses available in our first floor Gift Shoppe.
The refreshing thing you'll discover about the Pod is we always have an interesting and diverse facility of opinionated adventurers, with no inherent obligation to join in any discussions. We are purpose driven for a better imbibing environment and uniquely designed so conversations may take center stage. We're a modern day salon: just a gathering of people held by positivity and possibilities. During our weekend gatherings we amuse one another and increase our knowledge through conversation. These gatherings often follow Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate" (Latin: aut delectare aut prodesse).
We're ALWAYS UP for FUN and ADVENTURE
