We came here for shorty sundays (only on Sundays until 3pm) with our boys and they loved it! We loved it too and probably had more fun than them, we tried to get in the previous weekend on a Saturday night but my partner was wearing joggers so take note of the dress code before going there. Gentleman at the bar was such a pleasure, we didn't catch his name unfortunately but his Candyvania tasted amazing as did the other drinks! We'll be back very soon, most likely with out the kids 😂

Great place, highly recommend! Incredible cocktails! Really friendly staff after chatting and telling them about our disastrous meal at another premises, the kind bar man gave us some tokens. Thank you. You turned our evening around.

I came here with friends at the weekend and had another brill time. We are regulars here and just love the vibe, cocktails (shoutout out to Peach on the Beach and Jurassic Marg), retro games and lovely staff. If you're looking for fun with friends and to feel nostalgia and try all the games you were brought up on, give them a go! It's perfect especially now with the darker nights and weather getting shitty. Thanks so much for having us, full review to come on Instagram @thefemalephysicist

If you love arcade games, get yourself to NQ64 for some button bashing fun! The bartenders are a talented bunch...Tom Cruise eat your heart out. The cocktails look very cool and are extremely tasty. Great fun for all ages. Unable to comment on the food as we didn't eat anything. I think basic snacks are available at the bar.

Absolutely love this place! Was lucky enough to be invited down to an advanced opening back in Novemeber 2021 to get a general feel for the place and provide feedback. It's a great atmosphere and quite a unique place as I believe it's the only arcade bar in Cardiff. Staff are always very welcoming and friendly! Whenever I've needed any assistance they're always happy to help. Drinks are reasonably priced for a city center and they have loads of amazing game themed cocktails on offer as well as your standard beer wines and spirits. The arcade games are reasonably priced and there's a good variety to keep you busy for hours!
