WHY THE LOUNGE

Never played? That's kind of our thing.

Game Gurus teach you anything.

Our staff explain the rules in five minutes so you're playing, not reading.

800+ games, always curated.

Staff picks and new releases every month — never the same afternoon twice.

All-ages by day, 18+ by night.

Family-friendly until 6pm, then social nights with the bar open.

A proper licensed café.

Good coffee and local beer, so you never have to leave mid-game.

Right in the CBD.

Questions before you visit

Do I need to book a table?

Walk-ins are always welcome, but weekends and event nights fill up fast — booking a table guarantees your spot and takes 30 seconds online.

How much does it cost?

It's a $10 all-day table fee per person, which gets you unlimited access to the full 800+ game library. Café and bar are pay-as-you-go.

Is it kid-friendly?

Absolutely — we're all-ages until 6pm with a big shelf of family games. After 6pm we switch to 18+ social nights with the bar open.

What if I don't know how to play?

That's what our Game Gurus are for. Tell them who's playing and they'll pick a game and teach you the rules in about five minutes.

Can you host parties or work events?

Yes — we hire out private tables and the back room for birthdays, corporate socials and more, with a host to run the games.
