Supposed to be happy hour before 530pm staff confirmed then charged full price. $15 for a schooner, then once advisd charged full price didnt care. The Marvel game which costs $2 a game the mid kick and high kick buttons don't work so waste of time playing it. Im sure the staff already know this.......
We went to the bar & arcade for a fun night out while staying in Melbourne and it unintentionally turned into the highlight of our stay. Reserve a room and order some food with the tab included, the drinks are perfect for the atmosphere and the old original arcade machines are awesome to sip a drink and play together. Make sure to say hello to the owner Josh for us! Highly recommend, thanks for the awesome night!
Interesting bar with a nice selection of games. Some favourite's of mine Metal Slug, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Time Crisis and 1941 were there. Few games for those who enjoy fighters and Pinballs.. Staff were friendly
We had a hangout organised for after work with a group of 25+ so we decided to book in so the staff would be prepared. Unfortunately, they only have one staff member who looks after the whole place from cooking the food, making drinks, taking orders, cleaning the place, etc. Everything was taking too long and not good but I have to say she was doing her best to cope with the demand while still smiling. Business making money while killing their staff.
If your looking for a cool retro arcade this is the place, there is a bar and private room.s to play with a group ! Pinball, donkey Kong, street fighter and so much more.
