Been here a few times recently now. Absolutely love it, amazing atmosphere, great games to play and awesome drinks. Love just hanging out with some friends, chilling out and enjoying some old school arcade games. Big thanks to the lovely Tessa behind the bar who made an incredibly tasty Yoshis Island cocktail. Will definetly be back for more! 10/10 A++

Great little place. Our host was an Italian/Scottish Aussie who appears to be part of the structure of the place; loves his whisky and is full of great advice. The sort of bar you see in movies but rarely exists in real life.

Visiting Melbourne for business and a colleague bought us tickets for this place as a gift. Didn't know a thing about it. Went in and immediately liked the ambiance. The house wine was okay. The pizza was tasty, but not worth a special trip. The music was great. The musicians seemed to mingle well with the crowd during the break, the bartender was really friendly and attentive, the staff was great. The music wasn't too loud, so even though the place was packed out, it felt very comfortable and welcoming. They did three seatings that Saturday night, so we were hustled out after the first group, which we expected, but they weren't unfriendly about it. People really seemed to enjoy themselves.

We had dinner here on Saturday night and there were a number of options - burgers, pizza, main meals, snacks. Food was tasty and reasonably priced. Drink prices not bad either. After dinner we were treated to a fantastic show with three comedians. The jokes were very funny and we all had sore bellies from laughing so much. Was well worth the cost @ $30 for show and around $35 for dinner. Will be coming back again when in Melbourne. They have different comedians on each night and some have been Akmal, Dave Hughes, Dave Thornton, Jimoin, to name a few.
