FEATURE: MISS IGGY'S

Miss Iggy’s offers retro fun to Revesby Workers

An eclectic retro arcade and diner inspired by street art brings a trendy inner city vibe to the heart of Revesby, writes Grant Jones.

MISS IGGY’S STANDOUT kitchen, bar, lounge and retro gaming arcade has been unveiled at Revesby Workers’ Club, offering an amazing pop of colour and attracting a new audience to the club in Sydney’s southwest.

"In the days leading into the launch, there was a surge of people trying to secure tickets, which continued well into the evening of the event."

Designed for kids at heart, it has a range of pinball machines and 80s and 90s arcade games, plus a dual dance machine. Designed to complement the Rogues Sports Bar, which opened in late 2021, Miss Iggy’s is set within the Club’s Brett Street foyer, allowing for the creation of a unique dual-venue offering to attract a younger demographic.

“Thorough research internally with staff, including external reviews of similar venues, was carried out by the working team for this project, to ensure the club was developing a product desirable to this market,” a club spokeswoman says. The 80s/90s nostalgia theme was born during the research process.

“The creation of a product that was distinctly bold and unique, with immense personality would resonate strongest with the market, and the inclusion for memorable moment opportunities through key design features was mandatory,” the venue says.

Revesby Workers’ says the response so far has been nothing short of positive with the recent launch party by ticket only and secured through a social campaign.

“In the days leading into the launch, there was a surge of people trying to secure tickets, which continued well into the evening of the event,” the spokeswoman says.

The menu is designed to mix and match, with snack and sharing options including ‘tapas’ of Tostitos chip nachos with spicy Korean bulgogi, plus towers and platters that feature everything from charcuterie and fresh seafood to a cheese board selection.

There are also ‘Carnival’ options such as grilled corn cobs, Pluto Pups and Chiko Rolls or, for the sweet-tooth, blueberry fairy floss, chocolate snack bars and sour straps.

Drinks include the Fuchsia Fairy cocktail of Applewood coral gin, Okar tropic orange liqueur, lime, cranberry, orange blossom, blood orange soda, grenadine, persian rose floss, 100s and 1000s which can be bought individually or in a six-cocktail ‘balloon’. There is also a selection of flavoured ice teas.

The project architecture and interiors were created by Squillace with Boden Projects as the building and construction team. The club has continually evolved over the years with the introduction of the Revesby Village Centre, Brett Street Medical Precinct, kids entertainment with Flip Out and Zone Bowling, Tree House Early Childhood Centre, Health Mates Fitness Centre, extensive dining and bar selections, Rogues Sports Bar and now Miss Iggy’s.
