What an amazing time to celebrate our Friends bday! The staff were so friendly and never a long wait for a delicious cocktail or drink at the bar. Matt makes a great espresso martini! Karaoke and DJ decks were set upstairs for us and the arcade games were so classic! Would make a great a date spot and it was absolutely perfect for the birthday event that we hosted. So happy with the whole experience - would definitely come back here again!

Upstairs was nice and cool but downstairs had only one fan and it was quite hot. Most of the machines were working with some minor repairs to be done to some. The best ones are downstairs so I recommend getting the A/C fixed for summer. But a decent place

One of the BEST things to do in Sydney. So affordable, literally nothing but positive feedback. Great drinks, great service, fun activity.

No complaints, zero notes. The choccy breakfast is my favourite cocktail here; it takes me back to watching Saturday morning cartoons. Also, I’m the one who got 28,760 in Ms. Pac-Man here btw

Pretty fun place to have a few beers and play some games. Great location in Newtown and steps from a bus stop and not a far walk from the Newtown train station either. There are multiple rooms, including an upper level. Plenty of tables and chairs. There are several pinball and arcade video games. There is also a large shelf of board games. A couple tables on the main level have TVs and N64. There are more N64 games at the bar if you ask. Machines accept $1 coins and you can get them at the bar. Most games are $1 and pinball was $2 (use 2 x $1 coins). Bar takes cash or card. A few arcade games are up to 4-player which is good for groups, as well as N64 if you can get enough controllers. I wouldn't recommend coming here with a party of more than 4. They have a decent variety of drinks - beer, cocktails, pop. Tater tots are available as a food option but I didn't try it this time. Came on a Friday night with a party of 3. We burned through $40 in gaming between us and it was a good time. From 1700 (open) to about 1900 it was great and not too busy. I enjoyed the Simpsons and Time Crisis video games the most. I'd recommend and come again!
