Why Players Choose Us
Built by gamers, for gamers
Neon Treasure Frontier opened on Lygon Street in 2019 with one idea: a clean, comfortable, no-judgement space where anyone from first-timers to ranked grinders can play on gear they could never justify at home. Pull up to a station, grab a filter coffee or an energy drink, and lose a few hours.
Top-Tier Hardware
RTX 4080 GPUs, 240Hz monitors and mechanical keyboards on every PC, maintained and updated weekly.
Welcoming Community
Moderated lobbies, an inclusive code of conduct and staff who actually play the games you do.
Fair Pricing
Hourly rates from $9, transparent member packs, and no surprise booking fees — ever.
Spotless Space
Sanitised peripherals between every session and a calm Scandinavian fit-out that's easy on the eyes.

Private PS5 and Xbox Series X pods with 4K OLED screens and comfy two-seater couches — perfect for couch co-op and FIFA grudge matches.

The Glow-Up
From dim arcade to neon frontier
We gutted a tired Lygon Street arcade and rebuilt it as a bright, airy lounge. Drag the handle to see the transformation.

Loved by Melbourne's gamers
Over 1,800 sessions booked this year. Here's what regulars have to say.
Jordan M.
Brunswick, VIC
“Came for a Wednesday tournament not knowing anyone and left with a five-stack I now play with weekly. The PCs are genuinely faster than my rig at home.”

Priya S.
Fitzroy, VIC
“Booked a VR bay for my partner's birthday — the host walked us through Beat Saber and we lost track of time. Spotless gear and so welcoming.”
February 2025
Liam T.
Carlton North, VIC
“The sim racing rigs are the real deal. Direct-drive wheels and triple screens for $24 an hour is a steal. I'm on the weekly leaderboard now.”
January 2025
Chloe R.
Parkville, VIC
“My go-to study break between Melbourne Uni lectures. Walk in, grab a station for an hour, decent coffee, friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more.”

Ahmed K.
Coburg, VIC
“Hired the private zone for our studio's launch night. 18 of us, sorted with food and drinks, ran flawlessly. The host kept everything moving.”

“As a woman who games, the moderated lobbies and clear code of conduct mean a lot. First lounge I've felt fully comfortable at. Highly recommend.”
