NQ64 Manchester Northern Quarter

Having started its journey in a basement in Manchester's Northern Quarter, NQ64 has boomed across the country, with another site available for Manchester's activity thrill seekers on Peter Street too. 

NQ64 has placed itself firmly as THE retro arcade bar to visit for work parties, dates and nights out with mates alike. 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. The hungry are kept at bay, as slices from Crazy's Pedro's available until late.

Each bar is full of arcade machines such as Time Crisis, Guitar Hero, Dancing Stage, Pacman, Street Fighter and plenty of other classics, as well as retro consoles like MegaDrive, original PlayStations, Super Nintendo.

NQ64's decor is dark and quirky with neon-splattered graffiti all over the walls, perfect for grabbing that perfect Instagram shot while button bashing to victory against your mates.
