The Netherworld Sideshow 2022
The sideshow you go to when you're not going to the sideshow.
Overview
Roll up, roll up, it's show time — and not just in the obvious spot. The Ekka is finally back in 2022 for its first go-around since 2019, but it isn't the only place for games and fun in August. Indeed, it's not even the only place in and around Fortitude Valley, with Netherworld arcade game bar upping the ante for nearly two weeks of the month.
From Saturday, August 6–Sunday, August 14, the St Paul's Terrace hangout is hosting its very own Netherworld Sideshow, combining the usual offerings with a few extra special inclusions. Expect their existing array of tables, machines and consoles, plus added carnival games, guest machines, 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.
Obviously, the bar will be pouring its usual brews, too — with a few Ekka-themed specials.
