After our delectable dining at Hardware Lane, we stopped by Robot Bar for a quick drink and a reminder of life in the 80's...
We sipped on frothy and chilled Espresso Martini's while we played Galaga on the big old brown box game machine (official name unknown...however I am sure my disappointed boyfriend will comment with it). We played, yelled, consoled while we fondly remembered our childhoods. The only regrettable incident from the evening was that when I finally managed to win a game, post serious RSI to my right thumb and possible, no definite disturbance to the other more relaxed patrons, I entered my name on the list of winners as 'AAA'...not sure if that means I had started my own association of AA or perhaps needed to, but none the less it was a sign it was time to cease drinking cocktails and journey home. It is a quirky, neo-Tokyo bar found at the end of another of the funky lanes found in Melbourne. If anime was/is your thing, you can gaze at your childhood heros pinned up on the walls or you can place your $1 in the game machine for the reward of 3 lives - if only life was this simple. So when you feel the need to step away from your busy world consumed with worries of jobs, relationships, politics, money and tomorrows pop down to Robot Bar and remember the joy of being a child and only worrying about who wins the next game...
