Where Melbourne Comes to Play

NeonWild Protocol is the city’s most refined gaming lounge — 240Hz battlestations, private VR suites and a members’ club tucked away on McKillop Street. Open noon till late, seven days a week.

The Venue

A Gaming Sanctuary in the Heart of the City

Rows of high-spec gaming battlestations bathed in periwinkle light

Spread across two floors of a restored 1920s building, NeonWild Protocol blends the comfort of a private members’ club with hardware that competitive players actually want. Every battlestation runs an RTX 4080, a 240Hz panel and studio-grade peripherals, while our upstairs lounge serves single-origin coffee and Victorian craft sodas between matches.

We host weekly ranked nights, console couch tournaments and a quiet co-working deck for streamers. Whether you’re grinding solo at midday or booking the whole floor for a launch party, our crew tunes the room around your session.

Loved by Melbourne’s Gaming Community

Booked a VR suite for my partner’s birthday and the crew set everything up before we arrived. Smoothest two hours we’ve had — we’re back every fortnight now.
