The staff were amazing, but the games were a bit disappointing. High prices for not much turn out at all. The Gremlin claw machine stopped half way down and then stopped, more than one other claw machine didn't fully close before going back up. I know that they are programmed that way to not be too easy, but a bit disheartening when it happens with all of them more than once.
The venue looks amazing and the staff really are great, but if you're looking for a great arcade with lots of games it might be better to look elsewhere.

I took my friends to celebrate my birthday and everything was perfect!
We were very well welcomed, the service was amazing from start to finish. The food was delicious and the drinks were unique and super fun!
It was a really pleasant experience and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

First time coming here tonight for a date night with my partner and we had an absolutely blast. The bowling was awesome, the arcade had some great games, the drinks were delicious and so funky and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the lasagna bites and the pizzas!!!! Zac was also amazing, made sure we were well taken care of all night from getting our drinks while we were bowling to delivering our food after the arcade. Their hospitality was 10/10 and I can’t wait to visit again and bring friends.

What a fantastic arcade and bowling spot for both adults and kids! There truly was something for everyone - from life-like Hungry Hippos (my favourite childhood board game!) to endless video games, prize machines, and of course, bowling.
The space has such an energetic, vibrant vibe, with a welcoming design that makes you want to stay and play. Even if you don’t jump into a game, just walking through you can feel the buzz and excitement in the air.
A perfect family-friendly entertainment destination - I wish we had one this fun and well-designed in every city!

The staff were the highlight of our experience. They came over regularly offering drinks and food. One of the staff even babysat my bag when it was accidentally left behind. Thanks so much to the team for outstanding service
