Reviews

Loved by Manchester gamers

A few words from the regulars who keep the leaderboards busy.

Booked the tournament stage for our clan's CS2 night and it was flawless — zero lag, proper casting setup, and the staff handled everything. Best LAN in the city.

Took my partner for a first VR session and Liam was so patient. We ended up staying two hours longer than planned. The pods are spotless and genuinely fun.

The RTX rigs are stupidly fast and the membership pays for itself if you come twice a week. Walkable from Piccadilly and right in the Northern Quarter buzz.
