B. Lucky & Sons
Bar
TCB, Shop T1/315 Brunswick St, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006
"One of my favorite places to go to is this place called B Lucky and Sons in The Valley. It's like an arcade bar. They have drinks and food and really fun arcade games. It takes you back to when you used to go to Timezone as a kid and spend all your money."

The End
Bar
