How It Works
From Front Door to First Win
Walk in off Little Bourke Street or reserve ahead — either way you're playing within minutes. Here's how a session runs.
Reserve or Walk In
Book a station online in under a minute or drop by anytime. Peak Friday and Saturday nights fill fast, so pre-booking a rig from 6pm is recommended.
Tap In at the Neon Desk
Scan your booking, grab a loaded play card, and our floor crew set up your peripherals, headset, and game library exactly how you like it.
Play, Compete, Level Up
Jump into ranked ladders, co-op couch classics, or a VR bay. Coaches and marshals are on the floor to help newcomers and run tournament brackets.
Cash Out Your Score
Rack up points on the leaderboard for free session credit, merch, and entry into our monthly $500 cash cup. Your stats are saved to your player profile.

“Best game floor in the CBD, hands down. Booked a rig for our Valorant five-stack and the 240Hz screens made a huge difference. Marshals even helped us set up a private lobby.”
“Took my nephew for his birthday VR bay session and the floor guide was so patient with the kids. The pink-and-blue lighting is unreal — felt like walking into an arcade from the future.”
“I come in most Wednesdays for the retro pass. They've got a mint Daytona USA cabinet and a pinball row that's actually maintained. Staff know every machine by name.”
FAQ
Good to Know Before You Play
Everything about booking, timing, and what's on the floor at Little Bourke Street.
Booking & Passes
Walk-ins are always welcome for the arcade floor. However, esports rigs and VR bays book out on Friday and Saturday evenings, so we strongly recommend reserving those online at least a day in advance. Booked stations are held for 15 minutes past your start time.
Arcade Day Passes are per person because they include a locker and drinks. VR Bay Sessions are priced per bay and cover up to four players, so a group only needs a single booking. Esports rigs are one player per station.
On the Floor
We're open Monday to Thursday 11am–11pm, Friday 11am–1am, Saturday 10am–1am, and Sunday 10am–10pm. The kitchen and drinks bar run until 30 minutes before close every night.
The arcade floor is all ages, and under-15s are welcome until 8pm with a guardian. The esports lounge and VR bays are 12+, and our licensed mezzanine bar is strictly 18+ after 7pm with valid ID.
Events & Groups
Absolutely — group packages start at A$45 per head and include reserved stations, a dedicated host, and platters from our kitchen. We regularly run after-work esports nights for CBD teams; email us for a custom quote.
We run open brackets on the last Saturday of each month with a A$500 prize pool split across the top three. Entry is A$20 or free for weekly rig members. Titles rotate between fighting games, Rocket League, and Valorant — the schedule is posted at the front desk.
