If you looked up "Manchild daycare services" in the phone book the only phone number would be the Mana Bar.

Haha.

It's not the establishment per se, just some of it's patrons. Also guitar hero with no sound, that was a silly idea.

Lets be honest here, Gaf isn't nearly as nerdy as some of you guys imply.
Now which one of you stole my Sakura-Chan figurine?

The Gold Coast one is the worst one. There's less stalls, less people and no names guests. It was much better when it was focused in Brisbane.
EDIT: David Hasselhoff? Adam Baldwin? Do they have nothing to do? Those lines will be massive.

It's a WiiU troll thread, crammed into a 50 person capacity room with 4chan music playing on loop.

I had such high hopes for it last year (mainly due to me never having gone to one before), such a let down. Will it be the same deal again content wise?
Haha. No comment.
Archive is brilliant. Except when you accidentally order a $12 pint of ultra-boutique beer.
Mana Bar is pretty bad. I went there once when it opened and it's the size of a cupboard so you're about shoulder to shoulder with every other patron; plus the drinks are exorbitantly expensive. And I'm not going to lie - you feel a certain shame heading out to the Valley on a Saturday night and going to a videogame bar.

How much quota do they give you? Fucking hated it back in my uni res days.
For the last 3 months, yeah, pretty regular.

Most small bars in general give off that guilty vibe, it's like you're in a prison cell with booze. Brew in the Brisbane CBD is the only good small bar I know. Fat Louies used to be okay but the more time you spend there the stronger the smell of scum and villainy gets.
'The Scratch' on Park Road is Brisbane's best small bar and an ideal home for the craft beer drinker. No dress code, no douchebag customers, friendly bar staff, free peanuts and they'll happily let you in with takeaway food or even provide you with plate ware and cutlery if it's quiet.
Archive is great, but the clientele has changed a fair bit since its popularity spiked. It can be a very different kind of bar depending what time of the week you're there.
Brew is great - feels so out of place in the middle of the city and it's worth a visit for their coffee too.
Up the other end of the alley, Super Whatnot is a nice venue but not enough selection for the beer drinker.

The best thing about Brew is how only awesome people know it exists.
No one will ever find it in that alleyway hehehe.

Any QLD'ers know how to tell green tree frog tadpoles from cane toad tadpoles??

The quick easy tell is the colour. If it's black, it's most likely a cane toad*. If it's any browny colour it's probably a frog*.
Here's some sites with pictures that may help:

Yeah it is a classy place. Though cheap beer and pool is always good in my books.

I had a $26 Imperial IPA from Scratch the last time I was there. It smelled like oranges and tasted like petrol.
There is such a thing as too much hops.

Must've been a US west coast IPA. They can't get enough hops. But I tend to agree. Hopdog's C-Bomb which I had recently is pretty bitter but still quite good.
Look out for QuickTime events

IPA = Indian Pale Ale.

I had a power supply in a PC do that once, the smell was out of this world
Did you buy it with money that you got from an ATM Machine, using your PIN Number?
The last time I was at Mana Bar ended with our group winning trivia, everyone left-over at the end of the night getting constant free shots, my discovering the guy I was talking up De Blob 2 to used to work at Blue Tongue and us all ending up upstairs watching Kenny Vs. Spenny DVDs in a drunken haze after closing.
There were bad things about that experience I won't go into, but I've not really had a 'bad' night at Mana Bar and while, given my best friend is a lady, I've seen manchildren awkwardly doing "Baby's First Flirting" - for the most part it's been completely normal people with a common interest (and sometimes not even that given how non-threatening the patronage tends to be). It's just generally so much friendlier than a typical bar I've seen.
I have my problems with Mana Bar, but none of them have anything to do with the staff and rarely with the clientele.

Thanks for that. It's still hard to tell, I think I'll have to wait till they get bigger before I can spot the difference. Then if they are toads ill have to kill em. Rough.

Mana Bar would be better if they didn't buy a shoebox. It needs to be bigger, its a big idea in a small room...

Yeah I haven't heard a bad word about him over the years. Skaife on the other hand...
Holy shit, what the hell money bags Bernbaum! I would have to sell my first born to have a few beers in there :/
Hey what are some IPA's that are actually brewed and imported from India? Coz I love IPA and it would be cool to try the OG taste.

Yeah, once they start developing it should be easier.
Seems I got my grammar slightly wrong, it is India Pale Ale. Not in fact, from India.
