Reviews of NQ64 Arcade Bar - Liverpool
J.This is the 3rd NQ64 bar we've been to after Edinburgh & Soho. I've got to say they're consistently brilliant!
If you're in anyway into Retro arcade games or old school console games with fun, creative & tasty cocktails! This is the place to visit!
Friendly staff with a wide range of gaming knowledge plus a variety of craft beers in stock too!
Awesome music on play all night!
I'd not just recommend this one but definitely go to your nearest city NQ64, they're amazing!
d. e.Brilliant, whent with friends for his bday, we had a great time. Used to go when it was haloa. Be goin again, we were treated wery well.
A. H.Liked it. Bit over priced, too loud to chat or hear the games and the controller's were nasty sticky but we still had fun so they get a 4 star.
G. L.Stumbled across this venue, looking for the bar that was here before it... It was like turning back the clock to my childhood, classic arcade games and consoles to play on whilst having a pint, brilliant!
T. E.Great place, somewhere different for the stag group to have a drink and rekindle some childhood memories.
G.Great fun and good prices for the games. Just remember that you were much younger last time you were on the dancemat, I had cramp for about 20 minutes after...
R. S.Brilliant, consoles to play for free and arcades that use tokens that you buy. Brilliant place to go and have a drink and have a good night!!
S.20 quid for two hours of games and drinks ain't bad. Selection is very good and wide
H.Good place to come for somethimg different but not really a drinking place. Really cool inside and loads of old school games like mortal combat
J. T.Awesome little bar, cool decor and really good selection of retro video games
L. M.Great idea to have arcade themed bar, was quite small though, also does discount if you work in hospitality which is great.
L. J.Great idea. Consoles are free but you're encouraged to buy a drink. It's £5 for 15 tokens and most games are 1 token each. Some are 2 tokens. Music is a little loud but enjoyed the UV lighting. Over 30 iconic games to enjoy.
C. M.Very nice atmosphere, the arcade games were a lot of fun, and the cocktails were fab!
M. M.Great trip down memory lane. Lots of arcade games to choose from and consoles to play on. The consoles had many games listed to choose from. Worth a visit

P. W.Nice place to hang out for a while. Its a shame its not bigger
R.Possibly the most vibey bar I've been in all year
H. D.This is a great unique place, in a brilliant location of Liverpool. The decor is really unique and fitting with the retro theme. There is a good choice of games machines, some of which require tokens and some are free to play. It's £6 for 15 tokens, which is very reasonable, considering the prices in arcades nowadays. I really liked the little tables next to the games machines as they were handy for drinks, and some of them even had hooks on for coats and bags. The games machines themselves were great, I especially liked the dance machine as well as the Crazy Taxi one. Overall, both me and my partner were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed our rather unique date night! We would definitely return for another visit.
D. S.Heat bar, and great service from the barman "Dicko"!
S. W.Well executed concept, great venue and staff

J. J.Didn't take many pictures (because I was drunk) but this place is amazing! Some games are free and some you have to pay with tokens but that's ok as it's a fair price. Good atmosphere and decent drinks. Staff are friendly and seem to have a laugh.

S. W.This place is a must if your going out for a few beers round Liverpool! Went in as part of a stag party, excellent staff, great beer really enjoyed playing some games from my much younger days (golden axe!)
R. V.Being there lots of times. The music is right up to our alley, and it’s not extremely loud so we can talk and heard the machines properly. The drinks are quite nice and the place is clean. The machine are in good conditions and I liked that they put more space to leave the drink in between machines. The only thing that has gotten worse is the staff, they use to be really nice and cheerful, the guy that serve us on the 4th of august was proper miserable, put a face when I asked him to buy some coins for the machines. He and another guy behind the bar looked like they loathed every minute they spend there. Shame cuz it brings the vibe down. If you ignore them two, the place is boss and really fun.
M.I really enjoyed NQ64, even though the last game I completed was Alex Kidd on the Sega Master System which should give you some idea of my current gaming abilities. If, like me, the latest console controllers send you into a button-mashing frenzy of incompetence, you'll find consoles from a simpler time which you play for free, so just challenge your friends to a game of Bomberman to level the playing field 😁 Tokens for the arcade games were £7 for 15, so not too bad for an afternoon of fun nostalgia - most of my tokens went on the Bubble Bobble arcade game, addictive as ever, and I loved that the OutRun racing machines connected for a four-way race. The cocktails were fantastic, absolutely delicious and full of flair - annoyingly I didn't get a photo of my cocktail being set on fire but it was spectacular in such a dark bar! Would definitely go again.
S. A.Decent selection of games, music could have been more themed for the environment and games rather than just club-style music to add to the atmosphere. Tokens are worth the money and decor was cool.
J. M.Great way to spend an hours or so something a bit different and fun. Some classic retro arcade games. Cool decor. Collect tokens at the bar. There are free games console games too. It's not a huge place, there could be many other games and ideas to add. There is a bar. Not wheelchair accessible as far as I could tell, as its located in the lower floor via external stairs.
Edit date: Sept 21 - got Pac Man high score!
There should be a high score board up near the bar.
J. P.Really cool design. Good selection of games. Really fun to play. The only reasons I docked a few points were because the machines were packed quite close together when it was getting busy, the toilets were really close to the games so we’re difficult to get to. There weren’t many drinks to choose from and there wasn’t anywhere to put your drink whilst playing. Also £6 for 15 tokens is quite expensive when most of the games are 2 tokens a go.
A. V.Great fun, came with work colleagues and we had a great night. Will definitely be back
C. T.As a lover of retro games this sort of place is my nirvana.
They sold drinks and had handy little tables dotted about which was great for playing the games.
There was a lot of choice, from gun games to side scrollers to pinball, many classics all under one roof
The price to play was very reasonable in my opinion - easy to lose a few hours in here
G. F.Brought back memory's or some real classic games
Put a smile on my face just what I needed
A. S.Great arcade. Excellent drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic
A. S.Fabulous bar/games room,played some arcade games I had forgotten about 👍
j. c.Meg was a really accommodating bar tender, and made us all feel really welcome, we will definitely be re visiting, Thankyou you again, Meg.
T. R.Great idea and lovely venue, but the machines are relatively limited and trying to get a console (which didn't require purchased tokens and thus could be used indefinitely) was a chore. Waited about 20 minutes for the dance machine but the queue never got smaller! Loved the venue though and the tokens (one of which I kept as a souvenir) were a great addition. Maybe additional seating, and some kind of time moderation for the consoles would make this even better! Would try again on a quieter evening maybe.
S. B.Great place to go, cocktails are really quirky and taste good and a variety of different game styles
J. O.Great bar with good drinks options and the games were really fun! Would recommend
P. T.Relaxed and fun atmosphere, huge selection of classic games and a wide choice of quality beers. Awesome place for both the hardcore gamer and those looking for something different for a few hours. Definitely recommend.
a. l.Had a lovely start to the evening with some amazing cocktails and the games were a great laugh and really bought out some competitiveness.
B.Was slightly disappointed in this place, I myself am not into games but my fiancé is and he said himself it was a lot smaller than he expected. Token prices are very cheap, drinks a little more expensive than average. But if you come here to play the games and have some drinks I’m sure it’s fine. It’s probs best not to go with someone who isn’t into gaming. He said if he came back he’d come with friends. I expected there to be a place away from the machines to sit down. But if you are into gaming and with people who like gaming then I’m sure this is a great place just not idea for a date night if your partner doesn’t like games 😂
K. W.Cocktails are very yummy and leaning slightly to the more expensive side but with free gaming on n64 with games like goldeneye 007 then I can’t complain. The staff are nice and you can also purchase tokens for the arcade machines too.
R. C.Great bar and amazing cocktails! The decoration of the bar is amazing and really sets the mood, and the arcade games are brilliant. £6 for 15 tokens with most machines taking 2 tokens each, but the consoles (classics! SNES, PS1, game cube etc..) are all free!
Had so much fun and will be returning!
G. B.Boss little place with an endless amount of arcade machines to play on. Staff are all really friendly especially Anthony who always looks after me every time I'm there. Looking forward to my next visit already!
P.Really cool little arcade bar! Some of the machine choices were a little dated but at the same time nostalgic if you grew up in the 90's especially. Would definitely recommend a visit if you wanna play a few old arcade games while having a few drinks. Seemed like a great stop to make on a date.
J. P.Great place for a few drinks and games
S. F.Great place to go for a bit of nostalgia and a few drinks. Me and the wife went during a trip to Liverpool for the night and we loved it. Loads of retro games from pac man to pinball. Machines all worked and are well upkept. All the staff were friendly and there was a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend a visit.
D. M.Brilliant place to go for pre-drinks before you enter town.
The only problem is you might get carried away and spend a long time enjoying yourself.
Good selection of games and drinks. Good place to start the night.
A. P.Great venue. Games are on point. Good drinks. Jessica made a great cocktail that I will definitely return for. People need to experience these
J. B.Bar staff were very friendly, wide selection of drinks and arcade games. If I remember right it's £6 for 15 tokens - definitely beats £1 a pop on machines in bowling alleys and the like. Will definitely be coming back
P. T.Great venue, good drinks and range of games
j. c.Great gem of a find. Nostalgia at its core and the best pint in Liverpool ( according to the husband) old arcade games I hadn't seen in years and the husband was on pack man for half an hour.
M. C.Always as good time, my kind of bar, retro games and chill atmosphere.
I. W.Very retro, we enjoyed competitive old gaming, later at night whilst drinking.
What is not to like
D. H.Loved it just a shame it was 2 coins for a shooting game.
L. L.First time going to NQ64 been dying to go for so long. So glad I did, had such a fun night and the bar tender Jessica was really helpful suggesting really yummy cocktails 🤤😋
B.Nice place machines are in great condition, lots games to chose, gets very crowded on weekends especially on Saturday.
E.I love it here! Always bring friends as it's a great place to experience for the first time. Tokens are reasonably priced, the aesthetic of the shop is very retro, and it always smells really good :))
J. D.Very fun night, plenty of fun games to play!
T. D.Amazing night! Great range of games, fair price for games and drinks. Loved it!
N. C. T.Amazing, apart from the price of a pint, that was bit too much. The games were great and the pinball machine took me right back.
H. B.Great fun, lots to do, cocktails were amazing (I recommend the grape escape) they give 15 tokens for £6 and also have old consoles that are free to play.
N. W.By far my favourite bar in Liverpool, retro games and great drinks all round. My personal favourite was the ‘E-Martini’. Staff were brilliant and welcomed us and checked on us throughout our visit!
T.Awesome place! Chilled vibe, friendly staff, and a ton of arcade games. Great fun and a bit different from the clubs, an essential visit on any night out
J. R.Proper fun little night out! Love all the old school games and the bar tender called Jessica recommended me a cocktail called the Aku Aku which was sooo good! Deffo be back!!
R. C.Brilliant little place this! Never been to it before and we figured we'd try it out on our anniversary, just for a bit of fun. We ended up staying for 6 hours just getting lost in the games 😂 Highly recommend! Also, the drinks are STRONG so you don't need to go mad 😂
S.Absolutely love this place. The staff are awesome and the games are well spaced out. It's only small but it's comfy and always seems to be a good vibe inside with everyone. Missing the mad Max cocktail not going to lie 😂
D. S.Brilliant retro gaming place.
e. m.What a place! Just wish they would let under 18s in. My son would love it! Great selection of games, we went for the 'shootem ups' paired up with a decorated Marine couldn't hit a bar door😂
K. E. (.Incredible games for the over 30s!!!
c. b.Great place to go if you want the nostalgia of retro gaming mixed with a nitclub atmosphere, a nice selection of drinks ranging from craft ales to gins
T. R.Lovely place, great selection of games and drinks, also big shout-out to Jess for sorting the Rambo game for me
K.Favourite place in town, arcades and beer are a winning combo.. crowd used to be really friendly, but more and more these days it's attracting the rowdy wannabe hardman roidrage coked up scumbags that infest this cities night life, and are the current driving force behind the massive increase in unprovoked random violent attacks that make the city centre a no go zone after dark. Not the fault of the venue at all, but clientele have a big impact on atmosphere.. Most places have a bad, tense atmosphere these days.
J. D.Great place to go and hang out with friends! Wide a variety of arcade machines you can purchase tokens for, and all the retro consoles are free to use too! Drinks was boss too 👍
F. H.Really cool and quirky place with a nostalgic old school gaming feel . Tokens are very cheap and staff are very friendly . My only criticism is there are not enough games to keep you entertained for too long . If they had more games I would have been there all day 🤣🤣🤣
J. L.Me and my friend decided to try out this place and we are glad we did, the arcade machines are in immaculate condition, the place had a great atmosphere to it and it had a wide array of machines to choose from and at 5 pound for 15 tokens it was an absolute bargain as most machines take 1 to 2 tokens. We got about an hour and a halves worth of fun for 5 pound. They also have classic consoles going from the ps2 to the mega drive which where all free and a blast to play. The one blip we had when went there was the service. Me and my friend work in the service industry so we know its not an easy job by any measure. But there was no reason for how rude one of the members of staff was to us. They made us feel like we had ruined there day just for wanting to buy tokens for the machines. We even wanted a drink later on and we looked at the bar to see it was only that person serving so we decided against it. I don't want to be horrible to this person but we should not have felt uncomfortable to go and ask for a drink.
Apart from that we had a ball and we decided we are going back again because the pros did out weigh the cons in the end
B. M.Awesome selection of games from the 90s and classic era including point blank, turtles and Pac-Man. Music too loud and graffiti isn’t cool but really enjoyed the games. Good selection of people in there too from younger to older. Works on a token system which is pretty fair and you’ll be there for about an hour with a fivers worth of tokens. Parking around the area and in a cool part of town.
D.really cheap and fun retro arcade, absolute blast
D. H.Great place to go, have a drink and play games. The drinks are a bit expensive but the games are good value for money and the consoles are great. It can be confusing on how much you have to pay for some games. You don't know if it's a token for one player or for two for instance. Also the GameCube needs more games than just Double Dash. Would've been great to play some Melee. Overall I would recommend.
S. M.Not a big selection of games , really hot , slightly expensive.
D. D.Good to pass the time but games are expensive.
R. F.Really enjoyable bar with fun games, I thought the drinks were a tad expensive but very nice
K. N.Seemed pretty good, however the house of the dead 2 machine did not function correctly and I.lost my tokens
A. r.What a great place! I opened the doors of this bar just to be taken straight back to my childhood!!! I could already hear the sound of the guns blasting enemies on time crisis, the sweet Goldeneye theme close to the bar and people laughing after a car crash on burnout.. so many arcades to try so many memories to create... This is one of the best place in Liverpool!!!
I.All the best arcade games.. nostalgic
L. k.Loved it here! 😊 Sooo cool! 😍 They've even some retro consoles that you don't have to pay for to play 😊
B. F. (.Amazing atmosphere and great choice of games to play, I love getting the themed cocktails the most 😍
S. G.Amazing place, staff very friendly, nothing too much trouble, just a really fun night out with a difference!
K. D.A must visit for those who enjoyed the games of the 80s. Pinball machine, space invaders and so much more. Have a drink from the bar and relive your youth.
K. D.Cocktails were real tasty 🍸 many games to choose from🎮🔫
J. M.Loved it here. So much fun and the staff behind the bar were very friendly
L. H.Lovely bar and games location! A great evening out and fun time, only complaint would be the bar woman seemed disinterested and more focused on phone. But all in all a fantastic place with great drinks
S.Great vibe and some truly nostalgic arcade machines. If you spent time in the 90s in arcades and playing games, itll be a blast. I just wish there was more!
P. P.Lovely place to hangout with friends, bringing back memories from my childhood with the arcades.
They also have some video games for free that you can play if you run out of coins.
Will deffo recommend the place and come back soon!!
C. P.Fantastic Barcade with a good variety of games. Console's are free and most other games only require 1 token. The clientele is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. The drink selection and prices could be better though.
T. W.Sick bar good times. Was able to play loads of games with the coins I got. Would go again!
C. C.Had such a good time! Great selection of machines available, free consoles to play on and the staff are lovely 😁 great fun afternoon!
R. K.Always found myself coming back here, before covid I would come here 3 times a week
s. C.Great quirky bar, 15 tokens for £5 is a great price allows you to play a lot of the games. Good selection of beer on tap Camden Hells was my choice and fairly priced also.
J. B.Love this bar it takes me back to my childhood while also being able to drink. Would recommend to anyone not just the other retro geeks out there.
It's a fun night for everyone.
J. M.Brilliant... absolute amazing place 5 quid for 15 tokens. Most games cost 1 or 2 tokens absolute bargain, and console games are free ahah, trust me i played a lot of bomber man. Sick place first time going there will deffo go again
B. R.Very fun to spend an afternoon playing some old school arcade games and drink some pretty funky cocktails. Sometimes the machines eat your tokens but the staff are usually pretty good at sorting that out for you.
J. P.Retro gaming at it's best great value for money. £5 gets you 15 tokens and nearly all the machines are 1 token to play also the consoles are free to play. The rootbeer tapper cocktail is on another level.
-. T. -.Great place, If your visiting Liverpool it's a must!
Didn't feel pressured to buy a drink, bought 2 sets of tokens and had a great time! You get a lot for your money.
A. (. T.Nice place somewhere a bit different
E.Awesome bar with countless arcade machines to play on, drinks that light up and even has Guitar Hero!
T. G.Absolutely loved this place. Great vibe, good music, friendly staff, really good selection of games and really well priced.
S. J.Loved it! Brilliant place, lovely staff and gorgeous cocktails, will be back definitely 👍💕
C. H.Had an absolute ball drinks a little on the expensive side but overall well worth it. Relieved my youth.
M. S.Amazing bar, must go 🎮
M. S. (.Ling (nice lady.) was great and informative. The whole theme, games and retro feel is a must. Great fun. (Smell's surprisingly great inside too.)
R. I.Great lively atmosphere everyone enjoying themselves, great selection of cocktails and the staff are always super helpful
B. N.Great venue. Lots of arcades reasonable priced tokens and free stations with old consoles to play like SNES and N64s. Nice choice of game inspired cocktails taste great
