What a BEAUTY!!
I honestly loved everything about this. It was something completely different! Great Vibe, amazing food(I highly recommend their Nachos Pizza) and also fantastic service!!

It is a place where you will not feel judge you can be yourself and every section at Railways had it's own vibe. From sitting in a corner reading a book, playing chess, to just sipping on something cold (for the adults they have a Phuck-it bucket, worth it!!) kick off your shoes and put your toes in the sand.

Yes they have a section with beach sand!!

Be open mind when going to this place. People come here to have a great time with friends and family. There is so much to see, they have lots of different types of art that will put you in awe!!

They also provide bathrooms that is very clean! There is a section for kids to play and have fun, but PLEASE note it is loud.

Have a BLAST my fellow explorers!!

I loved the restaurant, the deco, ambiance, the rustic upcycled beach vibes. Even broken windows look beautiful. The 4 four stars for lack of choices. We could only order wood oven menu because the electricity was down in Irene, could not even order dessert or blended drinks????????????

Very cool setup with the vintage, old look. Making use of alternative materials for decorating and even as the furniture. The service was good, although my burger patty was underdone - which they fixed. The pizzas are definitely the best option money wise. Would recommend a visit

Railways Cafe is Awesome, so Bohemian and Rustic, The Live Music and Entertainment is Top Notch and it's one of the Best Venues in the Area. Best to visit on a Sunday for a Fun Day. The entire family can join in on the fun or just some fun times with your Friends. Absolutely 100% rated!

This is a great place to chill out in, in a cool Boho-upcycled-recyclyed environment. The venue is quite large but they've created pockets of seating amongst collected and artistic junk. It appeals to one's senses and I found my eyes continuously travelling around the decor.

The live music works well here but I understand the place can become extremely busy. I arrived both days before 12 so I managed to get seated OK but the tables were booked for booked for main trade rush at 2pm.

Food isn't fine dining. More rustic home cooking but my feta and coriander stuffed burger with potato salad on Saturday and Mexicana pizza on Sunday were incredibly tasty.

The menu is quite quirky and I want to go back to taste more.

I'm giving only 4 stars because the food took a while to be brought to our table on Sunday. Over an hour and it was less busy than the day before. I would need to see the service during busy times.

All in all, well worth a visit and I'll try make regular visits here.

Went to see Spoegwolf at the venue and ended up having a fantastic time. Highly recommended venue for a good time out.

The stage and show area is very intimate creating a great atmosphere to watch your local bands.
