Grand opening: Retro arcade bar NQ64 opens in Manchester

If you like your games as much as you like your booze, then rejoice as the Northern Quarter is set to welcome an arcade bar this February. Launching 22nd February, NQ64 (a merging of the console and the area, as you may have guessed) is ready to take gamers on a trip down memory lane. With arcade games like Pacman and Space Invaders, it also features classic consoles from the 90s such as the Megadrive and the N64 that lends the bar its name. Tucked in behind Crazy Pedro’s and Dive Bar, the basement arcade offers plenty of escape from the modern world and a deep dive into nostalgia. If you need some more tempting to get down, the first 50 people every day this weekend get a free drink (as long as you’ve clicked follow on Instagram – @NQ64).

From Fri 22 Feb, 2 Short Street, Manchester, M4 1PW, www.nq64.co.uk
