Absolutely fantastic place. My 13 year old had the best time and I was entertained with my friends by Mr Marmalade. What a genius! I have never been so amazed by magic tricks! Loved it! What a great atmosphere for a Friday night. Well done!!!!
3 level massive gaming place located in a section of the emporium. Fortress Melbourne is a 1000-person capacity venue, featuring 160 gaming PCs, console gaming suites, a restaurant, two bars, a board games and arcades section, gaming booths around the tv, and a merchandise shop. the licenced venue below is 18 plus, and they have a current offer of free board games on Wednesdays. they do great food, and yummy cocktails, including a hot rum drink. staff are friendly and helpful. it's a great place to hang with friends and play board games, or just a place to chill and eat food (mostly standard pub food). I ordered a burger the last time I was there, was a good size and tasty.
I visited Australia from the USA, and I was recommended to visit here the day I landed. I visited nearly every day of my 2 week stay. I attended Board Game night, the first MTG event, Dungeons & Flagons, then spectated the Trivia Night (group finder was sold out by the time I found out). This has been an incredible place for me during my stay here in Melbourne, and I have enjoyed every bit of it. The events, the atmosphere, as well as the staff! I would love if a location opened up in the United States! It’s either that or I’m moving to Melbourne to come back! 😅
Have been here a couple of times and hired out a booth. Everytime staff were beyond accommodating and helpful, helping us find a lost phone and answering questions about the membership. The last time we were there, Will the magican wowed and amazed us from his amazing tricks to just setting a really fun and safe environment. If you are there on one of his nights, definitely keep an eye out. Could not recommend him enough and the wonder he brings. The new tavern food was delicious, especially the popcorn chicken bites. Overall just really wonderful comfy vibes with some wonderful staff and amenities like the pc gaming lounge.
Only reviewing the tavern section, which was great. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was great for a night out with friends and excellent space for any board games or TCGs. Came on a Friday night so it was packed but still had a great time.
