The Lowdown
Gamers, geeks, button mashers, keyboard warriors, and anyone who’s ever screamed “ONE MORE ROUND!” at 2am — this one’s for you.
Tucked just 100 meters from Plac Ratajskiego (aka, a short dash-roll from the tram stop) on Mielżyńskiego 19 is a portal to another dimension. A world where Dragon Beers flow, Guitar Hero still lives, and quizzes are won with pure anime brainpower.
Welcome to Cybermachina — Poznań’s ultimate gaming pub, where the XP is high, the NPCs are friendly, and the drinks might just revive your soul.
The Quest
Cybermachina was summoned into existence in Katowice in 2013 by two gamer bros with a dream. Fast forward through countless cosplay parties, LAN nights, nerdy romances (there was literally a wedding), and the rise of Polish e-sports, and now they’ve got locations across Poland — including this chaotic good outpost in Poznań.
The Downlow
Console corner? Yep.
Board games? Roll for initiative.
Geek quizzes & fighting tournaments? Basically, nearly every night.
Our fav Guitar Hero? Strap on that plastic axe, channel your inner Slash, and hit those power chords like it’s 2009.
This ain’t some quiet cafe with a dusty chessboard. This is full-on, joystick-slamming, button-mashing bliss. And yes, you will end up screaming at your friend during Mortal Kombat. That’s the point.
The Menu
Salt sticks, popcorn, crisps, and peanuts are locked and loaded — perfect for one-handed snacking mid-boss fight. Or go big with Nachos (yes, there’s an XL version for the hungry raid party).
The Drinks
Let’s talk about some of their potions, mana, and mind-blowing cocktails
Meister Chief — Jägermeister, orange slices, mint… and a guaranteed respawn.
Ocarina of Lime — Play this to unlock beach mode.
Sex in the Batmobile — Honestly, we don’t even know. But yes.
Life Potion — For when your stamina bar is running low and you need to resurrect your social life.
Black, White & Gold Dragon Beer – available only here. DnD who?
Feeling lucky? Try their multiplayer shots mode – five different shots served at once. But beware: your HP bar will not regenerate.
Nerd Quizzes, Tournaments & Cosplay Chaos
No gatekeeping, no weird vibes. Whether you’re a hardcore gamer, a casual button-masher, or just someone who once played Snake on a Nokia, you’re welcome.
Events drop constantly — just stalk their Insta to stay in the loop. Expect everything from K-pop trivia and Mario Kart mayhem, to Genshin vs Skyrim debates (ok we made that last one up… or did we? 👀)
Guitar Hero Lives Here, Baby
Yes, it’s real. Yes, the guitar is still sticky from the 2010s.
No, you probably can’t hit Through the Fire and Flames on Expert, but we fully support the delusion.
Poznań Daily will be testing this. And filming it. And maybe crying.
Opening Hours – Because Sleep is for Casuals
Mon–Thu: 16:00–01:00
Fri–Sat: 16:00–03:00
Sun 16:00-00:00
Pro tip: it gets busy. Like “we’re out of chairs” busy. So get there early or DM them to lock in a table.
Wrapping Up
We’ve visited some cool gaming places in Poznań, but Cybermachina might just be our Player 1. Expect us to report back soon with our Top 5 potions (aka drinks) and rank the most addictive games on deck
In the meantime, grab your squad. Cosplay if you’re brave. And prepare to level up your night.
