About this space

NQ64 is the neon retro arcade cocktail bar that’s packed full of retro arcade machines and classic consoles, and we’ve got a massive bar selling all the drinks you can think of – as well as an unreal cocktail menu full of game-themed drinks (including non-alcoholic options across the board).

Our venue boasts a capacity of 350 with enough nostalgia to keep you entertained all night with classics such as the dance machine, Mario kart, Pac man, time crisis and so many more. If you get tired of winning, we have an array of different styled seating from booths, banquettes to high tables for you relax and enjoy some cocktails to celebrate your victory – or defeat!
We know how much our guests love to have fun and our cocktails definitely pack a punch (get the pun) so we have a photobooth on site for you to piece the night together.

We don’t sell food at NQ64 but we do have our gaming snacks available at the bar. For private hires and large groups we are able to source food from our list of approved suppliers but we also allow for external catering for full venue hires.
Our fantastic NQ64 packages offer a great mix of games tokens and drinks tokens to ensure an incredible night – we can even create something bespoke for you.
