To coincide with the review I recently wrote regarding the Mana Bar, and since it has been open for a short while now and the buzz of its opening has worn down, I'd just like to gauge the Escapist's opinion on the Mana Bar.

On the discussion side, let me know what you think of the venture (a bar/club with gaming systems) as a whole.

Also, as an example, they're hosting a 'GoldenEye 64' night on the 19th Sept, and have recently celebrated the launch of several titles (99 nights 2, Halo Reach) with competitions and prizes, feel free to suggest any other activities you think such a venue could host.

I'd absolutely LOVE to, but I live in Wales,so it could be an issue. I'd love a British mana bar.

I want to go :/ but can't even afford food right now, never mind a ticket to Australia.
I had a friend stay for a couple of weeks who was from Aus though, I could have hidden myself in her suitcase...

EDIT: It seems to be doing really well, I know they mentioned they might open it worldwide, but it would probably be in London. Maybe if they do REALLY well, they'll open one up in every county...

I'd love to go but first I have to get over my crippling fear of Australia's flora and fauna.

It still gets a lot of positive feedback on Facebook, people who go every week and so forth. They do a steady trade - so much so they're planning to expand into Sydney and Melbourne. I'll go once they're in Sydney.

Since I'm going to Brisbane for Uni next year, it'll probably be the first bar I go to when I turn 18.

Luckily it's quite close to campus.

Ahaha, be brave, test the water =D
(Actually, stay away from the water. That's where the most evil creatures lurk.)

There is nothing to fear! Especially since the Mana Bar is located in Brisbane. In the city, I doubt there's much of a chance of you getting attacked by, say, a drop bear. In fact, I doubt you'd get attacked by one at all, even if you were in the depths of the Aussie outback.

I'll probably go when I'm old enough. Road trip! I've got a few friends who are also interested in checking it out, so we could make the trip together. But there's still a few years until that's possible. And in the meantime, they might even expand to a location in Melbourne. Which would be incredibly awesome.

Pfft, if you have even an iota of common sense, the chances of you getting injured/killed by the flora/fauna here are slimmer than bacteria actually dying out.

Why am I not surprised that at time of writing no one has said "I have been and not enjoyed it."

Haha, yeah, didn't expect too much negativity, but just in case. There's one there now, so I guess it's justified :D Be nice if they left some idea of why they didn't like it, or maybe someone just wants to dick around with my poll :p

Nooo waaay!

Anyways. I dig it!

Its got awesome drinks, the music is cool and its got friggin' games! The only problem is it can get a little crowded but you just have to go at the right times.

I unfortunately live on the other side of the planet =(

But if I'm ever in Australia I'll be sure to stop by.

Well being in Britain, it's a little bit out of my way. If I ever find myself in Brisbane for whatever reason I'll definitely check it out though. I love the idea of the place.
