When I first walked into NQ64<\/a> in the Northern Quarter, I remember the thrill of seeing all those old arcade games. The games my mum would never let me play on as a kid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let loose as an adult with shooting games, driving games, fighting games, Pac-Man and more. Plus, there’s booze, I was sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since NQ64 opened in the Northern Quarter, the concept has since been replicated in cities across the UK including Birmingham, Liverpool and Edinburgh. And now, before they expand any further, they’re opening their second Manchester site, this time on Peter Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new venue will have a bigger bar area, more seating and more new games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Games include Pac-Man, Time Crisis 2 and Guitar Hero, as well as some new additions such as a Mario Kart arcade game, Time Crisis 3 and NBA Jam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gamers will buy tokens to play on the retro arcade games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like the NQ site, there will be a token system in place for the arcade games alongside free-to-play classic consoles consoles\u00a0including\u00a0N64, MegaDrive, original PlayStations, Game Cube and Super Nintendo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside beers from independent local brewers, there will be a new themed cocktail list featuring drinks such as Princess Peach, Bubble Bobble and Pacs a Punch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NQ64 is next door to Albert’s Schloss on Peter Street and opens on Monday 21 June from 7pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There will be free drinks and merch for the first 50 people through the doors on the Monday and Tuesday of opening week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also looking for game and beer testers the weekend before the launch (17 to 19 June). More details can be found on the NQ64 Instagram page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
