One of my favourite places to go in London.
You can easily spend a 2-3 hours there especially if you get some food too.
They often have a good DJ set too with different genres of music.
Shoreditch venue is better than Soho as they have more games available. Such as the basketball machine and free to play old consoles like PS1, PS2 etc…
Took my dad there and he had a great time on the space invaders, pac man and other classics.
I’ve been 4-5 times now and ready for another visit with friends.
Great place, all the classics are here.
Drinks were unique and great value, perhaps too good value as was very busy for a window, perhaps some premix at the ready wouldn’t go array for those pre-drinking going elsewhere.
Think if went again would go during the day for less volume and more chilled atmosphere, still can’t recommend enough.
I went there to check it out before I brought anyone and it was my day off. it's ok. I went at 3.45. the man behind the bar was friendly enough but the music was way too loud. I was there for about an hour by myself with the £14 25 token deal. You really would need come with people. the machines are from the 90s which I expected. they can be better maintained. one of the basketball games just took my coins, I was struggling to find games to play at this point so it was ok. but the music needs to be turned down. I'd rather hear the machines then that music.
What is there not to love about NQ64, it’s the biggest trip down memory lane!!! There’s so many arcade games from back in the day that everyone will remember. They have a real good retro atmosphere there, down to the name of the drinks at the bar, the neon painted walls and the amazing DJ. There’s something for everyone here. You know your gonna have fun when the entrance to the place has a slide to go downstairs :) it’s very clean in there and I was quite shocked to see that to be fair, there were so many people on Saturday 22:30 onwards and there was no rubbish anywhere, the toilets were clean, the bar wasn’t sticky. I can tell the staff have a real duty of care for their customers. Big thank you to you guys!!
Arcade, food, drinks, and music are all on point at NQ64. It’s one of the best places to hang out if you’re looking for a fun mix of games, food and drinks.
The variety of drinks and food is amazing. Loved the vibe, the music was great, and the atmosphere is super fun and interesting. Definitely a place you’d want to go back to.
