Fortress Sydney – Chippendale (Central Park Mall), Sydney, NSW, Australia

Fortress Sydney – Chippendale’s Epic Gaming Tavern & Cyber Bar Colossus
Fortress Sydney storms into Central Park Mall as the Southern Hemisphere’s most jaw-dropping gaming tavern – a 1,500 sqm, two-level fantasy fortress where medieval stone walls meet neon-lit Alienware battlestations and the roar of a 200-seat arena is never far away. Walk off Broadway and you’re instantly inside a living RPG: vaulted ceilings, torch-style lighting, a massive central bar that looks ripped from a dragon’s lair, and 50+ tournament-grade rigs glowing like altars to the grind.
This is the cyber bar you always wished existed. Grab a booth beneath the mezzanine, order beef ribs and a Fortress Lager that lands at your station before your game finishes loading, then sink into a DXRacer while the retractable grandstand folds away and turns the entire arena floor into the biggest, most chaotic open-plan barcade in Australia. On regular nights the place feels like the ultimate grown-up house party – cosplayers clinking cocktails with corporate escapees, uni students smashing $20 parma deals, and locals who just came for one drink but end up staying till 1 AM because the vibe is that addictive.
The tavern kitchen never stops: stone-baked pizzas sliding out of fire-brick ovens, loaded wedges that could feed a raid party, victory-shot cocktails served in glowing goblets. Bartenders double as hype-men – they’ll toast your pentakill or slide you a sympathy rib if you get rolled. When the big events hit, the grandstand flips out, the lights dim to stadium purple, and the same bar suddenly becomes the green-room for pros and the front-row for 500 screaming fans.
Fortress Sydney isn’t a gaming venue with a bar attached. It’s the wildest, most beautiful tavern in the country that just happens to have a world-class esports stadium hidden inside it – and once you step through the doors, good luck leaving before closing time.
