Amazing place to spend a few hours, jiggling joysticks and bashing buttons! Prices for tokens are decent and quite a few games are free. The prices of drinks is quite high, but it’s London - so that’s to be expected.
Great experience, I felt like a kid again playing the retro games especially times crisis Pac-Man and tekken tag tournament. I could go all day long about this place. The token system they have for the games is very fair. The amount they give you allows you to play nearly all the games they have unless you end up playing one game multiple times like I did 🤣
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!!
Stumbled across this place when en route to another venue but ended up stating here instead. An absolute gem of a find and we thoroughly enjoyed the place. Entry is free, except on Friday and Saturday, where the door charge is £5-10. We visited on Saturday night and was charged £6. There are stairs leading to the gaming floor, but also a swirly slide which I used to go down. Machines at NQ64 work on a token system, costing £10.50 for 15 tokens or £14 for 25. Games take a mixture of 1 or 2 tokens per person, per play. Consoles are free to play. They were playing 90s hip-hop and RnB, which was perfect for us! So many retro games to choose from, it's heaven if you're into Retro gaming! They also have a little food bar selling burgers etc. We didn't eat, hence no rating for the food. The staff were polite and friendly, the atmosphere was amazing and I will definitely be going again!
An incredible place to visit if you are a old skool retro gamer with a good vibe, so many classic games to pick from which definitely brought back some good old memories for me and my group. The only issue was that 3 arcades that our group had in mind to play wasn't working properly and no sign to say it wasn't working so we lost some tokens due to that (annoying!). The Drinks were delicious and for a good price being in Shoreditch. Bar staff are friendly and helpful in selecting drinks if you are unsure. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.
