NQ64 Bristol

Starting off in a basement in Manchester's Northern Quarter, NQ64 has quickly spread across the country since 2019, and the Bristol venue is a must-visit. Armed with an artillery of retro-consoles and gaming-themed cocktails, this is a quirky spot for work parties, dates and nights out with mates alike.

Expect walls illustrated with neon graffiti and vibrant furnishings throughout the venue. For those who want a taste of nostalgia, make a beeline for their exhaustive collection of 80s and 90s arcade games. Alongside these, they have old school consoles, including N64s and PlayStations.

NQ64 has placed itself firmly as THE retro arcade bar to visit, with the venue boasting a bar stocked with loads of great beers (craft and local are their speciality), wines, spirits and a cocktail menu that draws inspiration from their favourite old school classic arcades and consoles. Fancy something long and fruity? The Crash Bandicoot-inspired Aku Aku Fruit Punch is the drink for you, with a house rum mix, peach, banana, and Refresher bar flavour syrup. More of a short drink fan? The Mars Attacks is served on the rocks with Chocolate infused Jack Daniels, nougat, caramel and Mars Bar ice cream.

They’ve got some unbeatable student and industry deals, including half-price gaming and cheap drinks.

Every Sunday from 11am to 3pm NQ64 opens to anyone under 18 with an adult. Relive the golden age of video games with an afternoon of retro gaming with the little ones. Why not head down this Mother’s day.
