New menu options, drink specials, an arcade room and a renovated patio space are all in the works by The Magnet’s new owners Taylor and Tamera Peterson. “We want to make the place a family-friendly place that everyone can enjoy,” Taylor said. “We’re hoping that families can come in, get a home-made pizza, give the kids $10 to go into the arcade room and everyone have a good time.” The arcade room, taking the space of the former billiards pro shop, has 15 games as diverse as air hockey, foosball, pinball, Atari and shuffleboard. “They are mostly retro games,” Tony said. Billiards will stay in the historic pool hall location.

Reintroduced to the menu is the Mad Oshkosh Herald Dog, a two-hotdog special that comes The Magnet Billiards and Bar at 519 N.
