Retro gaming arcade NQ64 will launch a new venue in Nottingham next month.

The grand opening is set for 28 March, with giveaways and surprise appearances from Mario and Luigi on the agenda. Visitors can expect to see games like Mario Kart, Time Crisis 2 & 3, Space Invaders, Donkey Kong, Dance Mat, and Street Fighter on the menu – as well as an exclusive beer made specifically for the occasion.

“We wanted to bring something truly unique to Nottingham – not just a really good cocktail bar but a gaming experience unlike anywhere else in the city,” said Matt Robson, director of NQ64, addressing potential customers. “We’ve teamed up with Nottingham brewing legends Neon Raptor to create a bespoke NQ64 beer which we can’t wait for you to try. We’ve also got some fun activities up our sleeve for launch week so keep your eyes peeled and get your hands on some exclusive NQ64 merch.”
