Netherworld

Step through the doors on Brunswick Street and grab a handful of tokens—Netherworld is an absolute sensory riot. Arcade purists and casual button-mashers alike flock to this Fortitude Valley staple for the flawlessly maintained 90s cabinets, retro CRT consoles, and fiercely contested pinball tournaments. The crowd? Eclectic, wildly welcoming, and entirely devoted to the vibe. Forget standard pub grub—the kitchen slings an entirely vegan menu that hits incredibly hard. Think aggressively flavorful plant-based burgers that completely satisfy, washed down with a seriously deep rotation of obscure craft beers and weird-but-brilliant sodas. Whether you're dropping in for live bands, karaoke, or just to ride the flippers on a vintage table, the fiercely friendly staff have you sorted. Ask the high-score chasers—they consider this retro-gaming utopia an absolute must-visit.
