What players say
Reviews from the Surry Hills regulars
We booked the mezzanine for my partner’s 30th and Liam taught our whole group Wingspan in one go. Best birthday we’ve thrown — half the guests have come back since.

The Thursday esports league is the reason I finally left my bedroom setup. Great gear, friendly crowd, and the coffee is genuinely good for a game bar.

As someone who’d never touched a board game, the staff were so patient. We started with Ticket to Ride and now come every second Sunday. Feels like a local.
