Reviews
"I love Fortress!!!! Melbourne and the entirety of Australia has needed something like this for so long! I love the atmosphere, the food (so many vegan options!!! which I’m stoked about), cocktails (vela’s venom is no 1) the arcade and the PCs! I recently had my 30th birthday here and it was a blast for my whole family :”) I bring my partner here for date days / nights all the time too, it’s the perfect pit stop for any event/occasion :”)"
"We absolutely loved this place and wish that we had discovered it much, much sooner. The pinball machines here are fantastic. We'll definitely be back!!!"
"Unique and quirky gaming place in the city. We just stopped in and discovered it's thematic medieval tavern which was very cool, complete with bar wenches and board/ card games to play. People dressed up playing dungeons & dragons...well come back one weekend to join in.I loved the virtual reality walls that changed scenes every 20 seconds and the artistic toilets."
"Fun atmosphere. Food was good for pub type. My friends cocktails were good however my mojito was very sour. Just went and asked for more sugar syrup and it was fixed to taste like a well balanced one. If you can avoid it try to seat away from the gaming TV areas with young kids screaming in your ear. It is a gaming place so yeah hard but alot of fun."
"Came here on a busy Thursday night… came here for dinner, the online ordering system is straightforward and easy to use. Had the beef ribs and that was excellent; meat came off the bone, sauce was on point (not too much that it was dripping everywhere) and the chips were fresh. And for under $35 it was reasonably priced. Great atmosphere and wait times wasn’t long."
