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.

Great place for a drink and some pinball whilst in Cairns. Did the pinball comp while we were there, well run and great staff. Look after us first timers and made to feel welcome.

Rose and Ronan made our night so wonderful! They both showed great customer service skills and obviously take pride in their work! Ronan was hilarious and really leaned into our banter which was totally appreciated. Rose was the sweetest young lady and let us old bags blabber on without feeling judged. Thanks to you two! It was a fantastic experience

**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.

Here’s a photo of me not having wings because they’ve gotten rid of them. No more wings. Onion rings had no sauce and too salty, but that’s nothing compared to the absence of wings. Service and atmosphere are superb, love the staff, great games and trivia night is awesome. Would be better if there were wings though… Would I come again? Only if my friends dragged me and I had to, which when that happens I usually enjoy. Just would more if there were wings.
