Unnecessary To Know
NQ64 Arcade Birmingham has a really fun, vibrant atmosphere and the cocktails are genuinely inventive and very good, which was a big plus. The average token prices are a bit pricey, and not all of the arcade games were working when I visited, which was disappointing. Some drinks also weren’t available, limiting the menu slightly. That said, the overall vibe is great and I’d honestly go again, just probably not for a long stay.

NQ64 is a lot of noisy fun out, with a good mix of arcade games and more. The laser tag was well ran and a good laugh. It's defo on the more modest size compared to other NQ64 locations with less games but you will have a good time here.

Not the biggest place (other NQ64s are bigger with more machines), but plenty to play! Visited at lunchtime on a Saturday and it was quiet... great for us! Alcohol free drinks (including beer) available. Staff were also helpful when we had an issue with a machine.

Epic venue and great staff! Such a wonderful experience here. My innerchild got to relive so many nostalgia childhood memories with all the retro games they have here. A great variety of games to play and fantastic value for money. The cocktail menu was insane! The music was also a vibe! 💥

Came here for the first time properly visiting Birmingham in the day. Its a located a little out of the way but worth visiting if your into alternative venues or gaming. Its in a court yard with a few other venues nearby. Its all black walls inside but not dark as they are covered in artwork etc. using UV and glow in the dark paint, and as there are UV lights everywhere, its brightly lite up. Drinks selection on draught not the bog standard drinks but nothing special. They do have a large cocktail selection which we didn't try and you can clearly see the options as they are displayed on a huge boad behind the bar with funky names. There are several consoles that are free to use, including some classic games from the 80's so you could easily spend hours here if your into gaming. Spread around the venue are arcade games that take tokens you can buy from the bar. This includes booths for guitar hero and dance revolution. They do sell food but we didnt try it. I do like it here
