The Netherworld Sideshow 2021

Overview

Roll up, roll up, it's show time — even though it isn't happening in the obvious spot. The Ekka might be cancelled, but it isn't the only place for games and fun in August. In fact, it isn't the only place in and around Fortitude Valley. Perched on St Paul's Terrace, Netherworld arcade game bar is always in a playful mood; however, it ups the ante for its annual Netherworld Sideshow.

On Saturday, August 14 from 12pm, the venue will be combining its usual offerings with a few extra special inclusions. Expect its existing array of tables, machines and consoles, plus added carnival games, guest machines to suit the theme, fairy floss — and even creepy clowns. We'll let you decide if that last one is a good or a bad thing.

The onsite cafe, aka the Hellmouth Diner, will also be cranking out carnival-style fare, so your stomach can get in on the action as well. And, you'll also be able to buy Netherworld showbags filled with merchandise and goodies.
