Amazing atmosphere. If 80s and 90s vibe is your thing, NQ64 is for you. Vintage arcades and consoles which send you back to a time were things were easier... Great way to meet like-minded people and connect over a game of Time Crisis while enjoying a beer. If you're in your 40s, I highly recommend the nostalgia-laden shot.

Stumbled across this place when en route to another venue but ended up stating here instead. An absolute gem of a find and we thoroughly enjoyed the place. Entry is free, except on Friday and Saturday, where the door charge is £5-10. We visited on Saturday night and was charged £6. There are stairs leading to the gaming floor, but also a swirly slide which I used to go down. Machines at NQ64 work on a token system, costing £10.50 for 15 tokens or £14 for 25. Games take a mixture of 1 or 2 tokens per person, per play. Consoles are free to play. They were playing 90s hip-hop and RnB, which was perfect for us! So many retro games to choose from, it's heaven if you're into Retro gaming! They also have a little food bar selling burgers etc. We didn't eat, hence no rating for the food. The staff were polite and friendly, the atmosphere was amazing and I will definitely be going again!

Was here for a networking charity event and it was nice to be able to play on retro arcade games and have a drink while networking. I didn’t get a chance to have any food. The place was nice and spacious and plenty of tables and chairs. It was a dark in the toilets so hard to do make up and especially there was no shelf to place your bag while trying to make up.
