About Archie Brothers Chadstone

Archie Brothers Chadstone brings a carnival look to The Social Quarter on level 1 of the Chadstone shopping centre. The floor is packed with arcade and ticket games, a jackpot wall of prizes, dodgem cars and virtual reality rides, with ten-pin bowling lanes and a cocktail bar in the mix. Entry is free and everything runs on a game card you load with credit, so each guest can play as much or as little as they like. For a party, Archie's sells three set packages. The entry option is an hour with either a game of bowling or an hour of arcade play, served with mixed pizzas and fries for the table. The two-hour options add a one or two hour drinks package covering house beer, wine, cider and soft drinks, along with a choice of finger food. Every function gets a reserved area for the group, and extras such as nachos, onion rings, lollies and thick shakes can be added. The bar leans into the circus theme with sweet cocktails such as the Circus Sour, finished with fairy floss, and The Candy Stand, a boozy strawberry shake. Under-18s can stay until 8pm every day, and after that the venue is 18 and over with valid ID. Outside food is not allowed, so plan to order from Dazzler's Diner. Carpark B on level P4 is the closest place to park.
