Leading entertainment venue group Funlab is set to launch Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq in mid-November in the newly refurbished Toombul Shopping Centre in Brisbane.

Funlab, which already offers Strike bowling and Holey Moley mini golf venues, is offering a new take on what Chief Executive Michael Schreiber has previously called “leisure-tainment”.

Funlab describes Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq as its newest kidadult-tainment wonderland presenting as a “dazzling, mind-boggling circus-themed pleasure dome/diner/ cocktail joint, jam-packed full of kidult fun!”

Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq will offer visitors arcade games including Mario Kart and Willy Wonka, theme park adventures like Dodgems and Coney Island, virtual reality experiences, bowling and ThrillRide, one of Australia’s best interactive XD motion theatres.

Punters can also win tickets arcade-style and trade them in for prizes including pop vinyls, gaming consoles, and 90’s retro paraphernalia.

The Archie Brothers interiors are described by Funlab as “a feast for the senses. Upon entering through red velvet drapes, the scent of popcorn and fairy floss fill the air, punters look out to a sea of colourful flashing arcade game signs, to the soundtrack of DJ-spun tunes. The tricked-up cocktail bar built to resemble a vintage carousel is a focal point of the room. Booth seating is modelled around classic theme park rides like the Cha Cha and Tea-Cup Ride.”

Food and beverage offerings will include five kinds of burgers such as The Beast Burger and four kinds of hotdogs, a plethora of pizzas, giant pretzels, chicken wings and many types of fries. Archie Brothers’ will also offer a range of shakes and cocktails describes as being “beyond Insta-worthy”.

Brisbane is the third Archie Brothers location in Australia; Alexandria, Sydney opened in December 2017 and Docklands, Melbourne opened in October 2018.

The official launch date of Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, Brisbane will be announced soon.
