Once you've returned to base reality, feel free to take a seat in our futuristic lounge, unwind and order a drink from our delicious range of beers, wines, cocktails & softs

For those who explored our Virtual Island, make sure you stick around after your VR session to check out the pictures from your experience and receive your DreamCoin - OTHERWORLD's virtual currency.

The better you play, the more you experience, the more DreamCoin you earn. This currency can then be spent at the bar on real-world drinks and snacks!

Credited to and stored on your profile, your DreamCoin accumulates over time, so if you don't spend it on your first visit, you can build your fortune and spend it on your tenth!

So make sure to shoot as many zombies as possible; there are pints at stake!

Our prices vary depending on your chosen experience as well as the date, time, and session length you select. The cheapest sessions are generally at off-peak times, while Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays typically cost more.
