ZEN Gaming Lounge reviews
52Don't come here unless you want watered down milk tea that takes 30 minutes to make. The place is understaffed and you will not get refunded for time wasted on trying to figure how to log in.
Spent 30 minutes trying to get into multiple games. And none worked. Milk tea took 30 minutes and was watered down
Not bad.a bunch of pretty decent gamestatiin's to get you your fix but I especially appreciate the additional services like printing etc
I regard Zen Internet Cafe as the BEST internet cafe in Melbourne. Most of the work that I do relates to editing fine qualtiy photos of natural mineral specimens and gem crystals. I have recently started my career as a Youtuber. At this stage, Youtube videos of my collection pieces are my only focus with this channel. The content will diversify wiith time and into areas that will be novel because no one else would have the audicity to do some of the things that I will do on video. As far as I am concerned, senior public servants who either a local government or the Victorian Government of The Commonwealth Government pay taxpayer's money to should not be repulse to public scrutiny. Melbourne, Victoria is presently afflicted by more crime that get police attendances than what I have ever seen during my 48 year history with Melbourne. Crime that happens all over Melbourne continually bega recording and publishing on Youtube.com. Whenever crime is depictured on Youtube.com, of course all people who may appear to be perpertrating crime are in fact INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty in one of the criminal courts of Victoria.
Of course, ZEN Cafe will be an important part of my journey as a Youtuber, prominent mineral specimen collector and also an ACTIVIST.
Zen = Poggers.
Genuine people who will help you out. They have high speed FTTP internet which is probably as good as you can get in melbourne. All setups have good mice, keyboards and headsets.
All Pc's are quite highspec for an internet cafe, but there is an option for Black room Pc's if you need more performence.
They have bubble/milk tea if youre into that (which I hear is really good). Otherwise woolies is LITERALLY across the road or you can order energy/soft drinks from your PC and they'll bring it over.
Unfortunately since their hiatus during Covid Isolation, I have saved up for a good PC of my own and play my games at home.
Although I can see myself coming back in the future for a squad sesh/scrim.
5/5
Friendly staff, solid spec pc’s, nice views from level 3, food and drink are delivered to your pc D:
Very friendly staff. Top floor is excelent for viewing parties, or just setting up a gaming sesh with the bois:)
Good selection of food and drinks, good atmosphere, and very friendly staff. The space upstairs is great for hosting events.
Spent a couple hours using the PCs and board games. Staff were super accomodating and friendly. Systems were pretty good for the price. 10/10 would recommend
It's alright. Quite small, on the expensive side (but my only frame of reference is PC bangs in Korea which were probably just very cheap). Staff are nice, computers do the job for me. Wish there was a bit more lighting around the PCs (or keyboards with lights) because downstairs is pretty dark all day.
Great environment, friendly staff and good selection of food and drinks! Highly recommend for a gaming sesh, super cool street fighter mural that is easy to miss on the top floor.
Booked 2 hours of black room with 144hz monitors. However I feel like the spec isn’t too good for $8.50 an hour, i5 6600,8GB ram, 960. Can’t even play Fortnite at a consistent 144fps. Black room PCs needs an upgrade. However the keyboard, mouse, headset were great and the chair was comfy.
The stuffs are super nice and friendly
Very strong eSports Atmosphere here!
Strongly recommend for Southbank weekdays night owls

Very friendly staff here. Stayed here for a good 3 hours with my friends and only paid a small price. Would 100% recommend for gaming enthusiasts!
The cafe is in a good location! Price is pretty descent. I play cs go and prefer to play in 144 hz monitor for some obvious reasons lol. The price per hour of 144 hz is expensive. The gears are really good you will feel like home but there is something wrong with the FPS. It goes to 80 like in every 3-4 seconds which is pretty annoying. The internet is good, the gears are awesome and the place is in pretty good place. If you guys can fix that fps issue would love to visit again with my mates.
I have spent 100's of hours here so far and it's a great place to game and spend time. You can easily top up your account and with the bonus time you can play for around $3.50 an hour and often less than that. The more you top up, the more bonus time you will get. You can also order drinks and snacks using a program on the PC, but there's a woolworths across the street to buy water and a bigger selection of snacks a bit cheaper. If you're a PC gamer it's a great hangout, I haven't seen the console area but I'm sure it's just as good.
Great place, guy made sure I was comfortable, even had charging cables! Super neatly organised and great headsets too
Great vibe. Love the 'gamer' environment. Only issue is that the computers are starting to show their age. Takes awhile to load up games such as R6 (probably because the computers use hdd rather than ssd).
Really great place to game with mates, i bartend in the city so generally finish late at night and me and work mates can come in after a long night and smash out some games, staff are really friendly and cool to talk to about gaming and anime, gotten alot of compliments for my one piece tattoos whilst coming here, great atmosphere and good computers
Awesome concierge service, set up up with a WoW-ready PC straight away. Feels like a class above what you would expect from a gaming cafe. Computer ran WoW & BF4 at 1080p 60FPS (AVG) so I was pretty stoked. Only $12 for 3 hours too. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday from 12-2pm. I brought my own headphones and antiseptic for the keyboard (recommend for any public computer usage). Also the desk set up was great on my desk - lumbar support and gaming chair with a footrest below.
