•CLASSIC ARCADE MACHINES | PINBALL MACHINES | AIR HOCKEY | PING PONG | 100+ BOARD GAMES | THEMED DRINKS | ALTERNATIVE ROCK, PUNK, METAL+GRUNGE TUNES We are an alternative arcade - boasting old school & classic arcade machines, retro consoles and 100+ board games! Together with rad drinks and rad tunes, Empire is unlike any other bar in Cairns! Open Wednesday - Sunday, we'll see you soon!

This place is cool! Free console game spots. Pinball and arcade games (slightly expensive at $2 a game). There are also old school board and table games. The atmosphere I love. It's relaxed, it's lively. I could hang here all the time if I could. Couches and bar tables. Food was half + half. I liked the karage chicken, cauli bites + onion rings. I could live without the garlic bread + loaded fries. I recommend for family +/friends to meet up.
A group of us celebrated a birthday at Empire last Sunday night and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, drinks and service given by Ronan. We had teenagers and adults among our party and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night here. Thankyou!
Great place for a pretty decent pint. Shout out Zarah for the welcome and a perfect pour!
August 2022: Empire would beat be described as a dive bar. Adorned with artistically pleasing graffiti, and filled with leather lounges and videogames and table games. Staff are super friendly and beverages are reasonably priced. Super chilled vibes and worth a visit. Would also feel comfortable if you were LGBTQ+.
**Thanks for the reply! The quotes was the person behind the bar, and they did refund the extra meat hotdog - a positive win there for customer service. Why is it 3$ extra for a vege hotdog? "Because they hate vegans"... Thanks for being honest but learn some customer service etiquette. Where does it say you have press the button at the same time to play 2player for guitar hero... Not your traditional pinball place with craft beer - a tourist place really... Stuffed up the order but refunded the wrong item - well done! Cauliflower wings were really good thanks! Trivia night seemed well prepared.
