Who We Are
A proper gaming den, built by players
Tucked between the wine bars and galleries of Gertrude Street, HyperMachinaCore was built by a crew of Melbourne esports players who were tired of laggy net cafés and sticky keyboards. Every station runs an RTX 4080, a 240Hz panel and swappable Logitech and Wooting gear.
Rock up solo for a casual session, book a five-seat squad pod for the whole night, or lock in the glass-walled tournament stage for your clan. The licensed bar pours local Fitzroy craft beer, Melbourne cold brew and loaded gaming snacks until close.
- RTX 4080 rigs on 240Hz displays
- Meta Quest 3 & PSVR2 VR bays
- Licensed bar with Fitzroy craft beer
- Coached beginner nights every Tuesday

What players are saying
Ranked-up regulars, birthday squads and first-timers alike.
“Booked a squad pod for my birthday and it was unreal — the rigs never stuttered once through a six-hour CS2 marathon and the bar staff kept the cold brew coming. Best net café in Melbourne, hands down.”
