Reviews for Fortress Melbourne
Jelle
Fortress is an awesome place. I’ve been a member for about three or four months, and I’ve enjoyed every single week. The staff are amazing, the drinks are great, the food is delicious, and the games are fantastic. I can only recommend it to everyone to definitely become a member and make sure to stop by at least once a week for the great atmosphere and the events happening here. Big applause to the staff! Greetings from the Crayne player who is sadly leaving Australia.. I truly enjoyed my time here. thank you!❤️ PS, pls rent Crayne bcs its the best game they have haha.

Overall a really nice place to hangout. The food was priced in a pretty standard manner, and the drinks were okay too. I must say I enjoyed the idea of games and eating, however, the board games seemed a little pricey to hire and play. The cheeseburger pizza was unique and I enjoyed the flavour of that - other than that everything was pretty normal.

Come in somewhat semi-regularly when life allows me to have fun. Went in for a friends birthday this time and they also thoroughly enjoyed it. Booked a console booth for a few hours and some tacos (Tuesday be taco day). What really made our night was the new brew a cocktail mini game with the dice. Sufficient to say we did the mini game multiple times ending up with some real magnificient cocktails for a great price. Safe to say will always look out for it when it’s on.

Had a Chicken Parma and Carlton draught beer while catching up with friend last night. The environment is nice and special with the gaming set up. Moderate noise around with the music and games all over the place. Chicken Parma was really good, with fries and salad. Salad is just normal, probably not to my liking. Overall, recommended if you like a good Parma and beer while hanging out with friends. It would be better if you like to play games too.

Where to start? Fortress Melbourne is overflowing nerdy class and personality. The main bar on the ground floor is very inviting across the road from the arcade which screams family fun. Really cool ticket prizes. There is an e-sports arena on the 2nd level and could see myself wanting to play e-sports champ up there, it was so impressive. There is a LAN room that is very clean and eye catching with addee streamer rooms for those streamers inside us haha. To end with the food was absolutely delicious, I was lucky to join duriny taco Tuesday and scored a promo. This is a place passionately made for gamers by gamers. I will 100% recommend and give special commendations to Kimberly, Jacob, and Matt for their service.
