Located on vibrant Dean Street in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, Four Quarters Newcastle is a nostalgic love letter to the golden age of gaming – with a contemporary twist. This retro arcade bar blends the charm of vintage consoles and arcade machines with the energy of a modern social hotspot.
Inside, guests are greeted by a carefully curated mix of restored classics – think Pac-Man, Time Crisis, and Mario Kart – alongside ambient neon lighting, exposed brickwork, and playful industrial design. The venue is cleverly divided into dedicated zones for button-bashing battles, chill-out chats, and pizza-fuelled catch-ups.
Whether guests are racing friends on a retro console, diving into a co-op campaign, or simply enjoying the vibe, there’s something for every kind of player. A well-stocked bar serves up craft beers, cheeky cocktails, and nostalgic favourites, while the pizza menu keeps the high scores (and the hunger) coming.
With sound levels perfectly balanced to keep the arcade buzz alive without overwhelming the space, Four Quarters Newcastle offers a one-of-a-kind, multisensory experience. It’s a place where every visit feels like hitting the jackpot – high energy, low effort, and guaranteed good times.
Various dates from Monday 21st July 2025
