Cybermachina — Restaurant in Gdansk

It's a decent place to play board games with friends. Their game selection is pretty good. The beverages are overpriced though.

They also have an Xbox One (with a single controller), a bootleg NES (it's called a Pegasus in Poland, and the controls in the bootleg '999 in 1' cartridge are often messed up), a Nintendo 64 (two controllers, but the joystick barely works in one of them), another XOne which seems to be working fine, and a dedicated guitar hero booth (it's a shame that the guitars are destroyed, and the game is pretty much unplayable).

Lastly, there's a NeoGeo arcade machine (with unlimited plays) in the corner, which I think is by far the best thing in this pub. All of the buttons and joysticks work. There's no game sound.. which is a huge shame.. but it's something you'll have to live with. I played Metal Slug there, and I also saw some people who played King of Fighters '97.

So my advice is, drink something before you get there, and stay away from the consoles, unless you want to play a fighting game or Mario that pauses every you run and jump at...

Let’s start with the positives: the cocktails and drinks were very good, and there was a nice selection of games available on the Xbox. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.

What was an absolute no-go for me was the service. We were standing at the bar, and after what felt like 10 minutes, the bartender finally asked if he could help us. When we asked him how the concept worked, his response was: “You order drinks and can play — what’s not to understand?” He was extremely rude and dismissive. I’ve honestly never experienced anything like that. How are tourists or first-time visitors supposed to know how the place operates?

I was also expecting more retro video games, but unfortunately, most of the arcade machines and consoles were turned off — only the Xbox was available. I also thought the bar itself would be more inviting, but the interior felt somewhat outdated and worn down, making the whole place a bit uncomfortable.

Overall, it’s a great idea in theory, but very poorly executed — not to mention the...

Me and some friends of mine went here a couple of days ago. The drinks and atmosphere were ok but there was a blond, tall ish guy as a bartender, who was extremely rude. We were sitting on the table and when i asked if we could order i got a "you order from here, this is not a restaurant as a response", we washed it off and chose our drinks. He asked to see our ids (while we clearly are all above 18, the younger guy in our group is 22). Since he was having trouble finding my birthdate i spelled it and he told me "thank you i can read" in a very uneducated manner. We sat on our table again and when the drinks were ready I asked if i could take the whole plate or if I had to just take the drinks. He told me I could take the whole plate and my friends saw him scoff and roll his eyes. After we finished our drink we asked if we could order again but he told us "I said last call", again, in a very rude way, and no one between my group heard him say that. I've never met somebody with such bad manners as...
