Cool place, quite a few hiccups ordering food but overall pretty good experience, the owner was great in sorting the issues out. I’d definitely come back!

Hattie made our night! She held the fort so well and made great espresso Martinis. She also got the Nintendo 64 going f after some troubleshooting issues woooooo

It’s ok but it’s in need of some improvements. I came here 2 years ago and not much has changed; same games, same setup. Some games don’t even work, for example some of the guns don’t work on the shooting games; there’s a sign that says it but it was too late for me before inserting cash. Should really fix these issues or refund a defective game that doesn’t work, which in my case I did not get my refund.

We came here before Covid and it was awesome but not not so good any more. 1- They did not have any beer at all. 2- They decided to close early on a Thursday night. 3- They only had 4 pinball machines and non of the new titles. But all pinball machines was working correctly so at least that was one good thing.

Laid back, good drink choices, lots of arcades and if you book ahead of time, awesome fun on the Nintendo 64, lovely night 😊

Classic retro arcade with pizza, what's not up like. Fair prices on the cabs and pinball, well laid out, with a small outside dining area out the back to get away from the noise.

Good experience and vibe Needs a freshen up IMO

This place stinks of cigarettes and is very unappealing.

Bar tender made amazing suggestions regarding best value drinks, lots of game options & booking ahead got us a private room with 4 player Mario Cart!

Amazing afternoon spent playing games and hanging with mates. Best!

Excellent vibes 👌 bring your coins, it's got all the classics

Used to love coming to this place a few years ago, but seems the vibe has changed a bit. The drinks are typically $20-$25 each, a shot of fireball was $16... Not really sure what's going on with those prices, the venue was pretty quiet for a Friday night too...

Pretty below average selection of games. Nintendo is on an hourly rate which is way too much and just sits there unused. Drinks were pretty crap too

Ideal for retro gaming, having a good time with friends. The arcades rotate, sometimes they have better collection than others. But always worth to come a play! Some games suffer normal tear and wear, but they try to keep them serving.

It’s great but it’s a bit small now and the same arcade games… bit tired

website said it was open today when we checked yesterday, get there and the place is closed?

A Place for Nostalgic Games to Play . Can’t even remember few games and how to play 😅 . its was a basement converted to Play and Drink Area. Actually a very small place. Good for Private gatherings ( yes we can block for specific occasions) . The network was bad . Not sure if we have free wifi. But the service was good . Have handful variety of drinks to enjoy. Pizza was good . Nachos are okay.. Outdoor area is very small and between vertical structures ( basically no view ) can be visited once

Bartronica is so fun! Loads of old school arcade games and pinball machines and some newer stuff mixed in. Tap beer selection is tiny but there's plenty of other bottled drinks and mixers. You can get food here too. Pizza, nachos and vegan nachos You can hire out a booth with its own Nintendo 64 and good size screen. Loads of games! There's an outdoor area too with a view of the surrounding vertical structures. This is a place where the gaming takes precedent over pretence. I highly recommend it. I spent about $50 on tokens and played for hours.

Always a good time. Excellent food, drinks, staff and games. Come here for a great night.

Great service and atmosphere. Drinks were strong and tasted great. Booths are well worth it for some private Mario kart / Smash Bros.

Private booking great drinks and games!

So much fun ! Great options and amazing drinks !!

Best vibes, staff are amazingly friendly, great range of games!!

Quite affordable for what you get. The classic pinball machines and arcade cabinets were lots of fun, with a choice of a bunch of classics that can entertain anybody. The cocktails were great too! Hoping to come back soon!

this bar is a great place to hangout with friends or by yourself, lovely staff, atmosphere, cheap drinks & good choice of games

Really lovely environment! Food is good and people are very friendly.

conkers bad fur day goes hard, also cosplays here

Having my 21st here and having a blast with my friends 🧡 also try the princess peach cocktail

Epic

Really great atmosphere and vibes all around, with many incredible vintage retro arcade games to check out ✨

Lovely atmosphere!

Friendly staff and yum drinks! Great bar to come to for a fun night out

Good vibes, friendly service, fun games.

Great fun, the mystery shot was great

Best bar if you're wanting to have a great time! Heaps of vintage games to play

Our first bar when we first moved to Melbourne. The vibe is really nice, as we get to chill and drink and play the arcade 🖤

Love the atmosphere - had the best time here!

i loce this place and i love the space outside, fun times!!! good games !!!

love

best arcade bar in the city

If I could give 0 stars I would. Place is very rundown, cocktails aren’t great and prices are very high. Staff very rude too. Still haven’t received a message back from a complaint I wanted to make. Very unprofessional

Love to come here

What you might expect an Arcade to look like, if you didn't grow up hanging out in Acades. No Street fighter but you have Virtual Fighter? Nuff said. Also 1 bar staff, big queues for a drink.

We absolutely loved Bartronica, it has a great atmosphere and we had so much fun playing old school mario kart on the 64 so nostalgic! And the cocktails were incredible A+ for presentation! Looking forward to coming back soon.

👍 👍

Hello! Do you allow accompanied teens (17yrs old) during the day/early evening?

Overall, pretty underwhelming. This place has definitely seen better days—less maintained machines and pricier drinks now. The smokers' area now invades the gaming section with a vengeance, which I don't remember happening before. The friendly bartender was a bright spot, but Bartronica just isn’t what it i remember from 4-5 years ago.

Better than B-Lucky and Sons!!

Nicely themed gaming bar.

Good atmosphere and great staff! Awesome vibes and always a good time!

Great night out. Awesome games, great staff, interesting crowd, many happy memories!

Highly recommend this unique bar! Absolutely amazing vibes, a great night out in a cosy and fun environment with friendly staff and great drinks! We will be back!

Great place for a chill night out, they got old nintendos!

Really cool bar with lots of retro machines. One of the best classic arcades in Melbourne.

Would NOT recommend, they should treat their staff better

Nice place to have a drink, but toilets are completely filthy, disgusting. I don't think anyone has clean and brush those toilets in a while. Dear owner: for the price of the drinks and food, at least guarantee a healthy and hygienic place for your customers.

Old school retro arcade and video games with inexpensive drinks?? Yes please!! What a spot!!

Good vibes, amazing games.

I told some friends to share and they also agreed with the site. Their attention was an unforgettable night.

A nice little friendly bar with old school pinny machines /Mario ect. Brought me back to my younger days! Bar tender was very friendly & took time for a chat/laugh

Nice cocktails of average price, bartender was quite friendly, games were fun, overall we had a pretty nice time and it wasn’t too busy/noisy even on a friday night

Highly recommend visiting here. It's a great selection of games to suit all. Excellent place to unwind after work.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, interesting drinks and good selection of arcade cabinets. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town!

Have been here a few times for a quick drink and for a booth booking during COVID times. Drink prices are ok, I would say a little more expensive than usual. There are a wide selection of retro games, most are either $1 or $2. There is an outside smoking area. Service is friendly.

Great place to go with friends or by yourself. They have plenty of Arcade machines, N64 areas, and even seats out the back. You can play games even while eating and drinking. The food is quite expensive, but the games are cheap. I had nachos and pizza, very tasty.
