1989 Arcade Bar

This bar has an amazing vibe and appeals to all ages. The selection of games was very well thoughtout, they had all the names that would come to mind even if you weren't born in the 80s. It's quite big as well, there are several rooms on both floors full of machines. The staff are friendly, the deal is that you buy a beer along with some coins. Each game is $1. They even have a Mega drive with Sonic the Hedgehog at one of the tables. My only suggestion would be about having some more convenient places to put your beer while playing the games. That said many people just hang out at the tables around the bright lights and sound of the machines . Had a really amazing time. It's a great place to take your friends to see something totally different, definitely recommended.

Randomly walked in here when the trains at Newtown were cancelled to kill some time. Wow. What an amazing experience. Arcade games from back in the day and some really awesome pin ball machines. The pin ball machines even have drink holders on them so you can rest your beer while racking up the points. What a great time. Highly recommended for some beers and fun.

Amazing place, and fantastic game themed cocktails. Bring along your dollar coins for the arcade machines or chill with friends with the plethora of board games provided. Fun retro atmosphere feels more like a friends house party in their garage, googly recommended experience. Bookings are essential for groups.

Have always loved 1989 for casual nights out with friends, but most recently hosted a work function where we hired the whole venue and it was a roaring success. Cannot speak highly enough of how straight forward and easy it was to arrange the event, including upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Ben at 1989 was also so accommodating when it came to specific needs for our group, covid postponements and all the rest and on the night the staff were fantastic. If you're looking for a party venue, 1989 is a great option!
