What players say

Excellent food, with solid vegetarian options. The bar has plenty of pop culture and quirky decor. A laid back vibe and a good sized stage for music. Arcade machines and pinball throughout the multi-level venue. We tried the Vegan Green Curry Ramen and fried veggies.

★★★★★ David, Jul 2026

Exceptional staff, amazing food and a wide selection of pinball games and pool tables.

★★★★★ Steven, Nov 2025

Great grunge bar with lots of pinball tables. I did have two tables fail on my in one night, which is a shame. But it seems most tables were very well maintained.
