1989 Arcade Bar

Role: Founder // Owner

Retro Arcade Bar

Sydney, Australia

A few months after moving to Australia I opened Sydney’s first Retro Arcade Bar.

Here is the low down:

Keeping the classic arcade alive since 2016.

With 31 arcade games and pinball on the floor, from Donkey Kong to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, ’89 is a retro gaming utopia and fantastic place to eat & drink.Our atmosphere is always welcoming & laid back whilst our aesthetic is nu-apologetically geek chic (our feature wall is made up of 500 real VHS cassette cases).

Born from a love of classic video games and craft beer, you will find plenty to do at ’89. From the serious or casual gamer to those who want to relax in a unique venue or friends looking for a big night out – We have got you covered at ’89.
