**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.

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.

I’ve been a regular since last summer and I’m leaving a 5 star review. On the same token I feel disappointed to hear the manager from the last few months has moved on, as they have improved the atmosphere, customer service and relations with locals to cater for gamers, families, social groups and those just wanting to change the of scene to be close to town that’s not only diverse but friendly to all. Whom ever thought this place wasn’t making money didn’t see the potential or value in human relation's , it’s bit of a shame no one connected the dots and saw how uniquely ‘metal’ this is.

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.
