Liverpool · Ropewalks · Est. 2019
Where island calm meets dungeon thrill.
A palm-fringed gaming lounge on Bold Street with 24 RTX battle stations, a retro console reef and a tabletop crypt. Grab a mango slush, drop into a raid, and stay till the small hours.
A note from the founder
We built the lounge we always wanted to hang out in.
When I moved back to Liverpool in 2019, the city had brilliant players but nowhere warm and welcoming to play together. So we took a tired unit off Bold Street, filled it with palms, coral neon and proper kit, and opened the doors.
Six years on we host weekly Valorant ladders, Dungeons & Dragons nights and family retro Sundays. Whether you're chasing a rank or your first ever win, there's a seat under the fronds for you.
— Marley Okonkwo, Founder
How it works
From front door to first win in four steps.
Grab a station
Book online or walk in. PC battle stations run £6/hour or £20 for a four-hour island pass, kit included — no membership needed.
Pick your reef
Choose PC, our retro console reef of 30+ classics, or the tabletop crypt for D&D and board games. Our crew help you set up in minutes.
Fuel up
Order mango slushes, loaded nachos and bottomless filter coffee straight to your seat from the tiki bar — barista-made, £3–£7.

Enter a Thursday tournament (£5 buy-in, cash prizes) or just chase your personal best. Every regular gets a spot on our seasonal leaderboard.

What players say
Loved by Liverpool's gaming crowd.
"Booked the crypt for my son's 12th and the crew ran a full beginner D&D quest. He hasn't stopped talking about it. Genuinely the best kids' party we've done."
"Came for a quick hour, stayed four. The rigs are spotless, ping is unreal, and Priya sorted my aim in one coaching session. Climbed to Diamond that week."
"The retro reef is a nostalgia trip — proper CRT SNES setup. Mango slush, Mario Kart, mates. Bold Street's best-kept secret."
