Where Melbourne's players come to level up
NeonWildKingdom is a 60-seat gaming lounge and esports venue on Smith Street, packed with RTX 4080 battle stations, console pods, VR rooms and a fully licensed bar. Walk-ins welcome, squads encouraged.
Open Mon–Thu 12pm–11pm · Fri–Sat 10am–1am · Sun 12pm–10pm
Built by gamers, for late-night legends
We opened the doors of NeonWildKingdom in 2019 in a converted Smith Street warehouse, ten minutes from Brunswick Street's coffee strip. What started as a six-PC LAN corner is now Fitzroy's busiest gaming destination.
Every rig runs a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4080 and a 240Hz panel, so whether you're grinding ranked Valorant, running a Tekken set or diving into Beat Saber, the frames never drop. Our crew tunes peripherals, hosts weekly ladders and keeps the energy drinks cold.
- 240Hz displays on every PC
- Licensed bar & arcade-snack kitchen
- Coaching nights with local pros
- Accessible, all-ages until 8pm

“Best rigs in Melbourne, full stop. Ran a five-hour Valorant grind and never dropped below 240fps. The Kingdom Pass paid for itself in a week.”
“Booked a console pod for my brother's 16th. The host sorted pizza, kept the bracket running and the kids didn't want to leave. Easy five stars.”
“First time in VR and the staff walked me through everything. Beat Saber in the dedicated room is unreal. Coming back with the whole crew.”
