NQ64 Retro Arcade Bar Boost Into Edinburgh- Coming Soon

7th June 2021

Making its Scottish debut, retro gaming bar NQ64 will be opening in Edinburgh this summer. 

NQ64 is an immersive retro-arcade gaming experience offering a huge range of gaming delights including, driver games, fighting games, pinball and shooter games. You’re sure to find your favourite whether that be Ms Pac-Man, Mortal Kombat or Star Wars Trilogy. 

With existing bars in Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham, the new Edinburgh site promises to give you a great night out all the way through to 3am. Your gaming fun is accompanied by a menu of bespoke cocktails including the Galaga (Vodka, Glittery Tea, Blue & Lemon, Rhubarb & Ginger Gin), Pac’s A Punch (Strawberry Infused Portobello Gin, Peach, Apple, Lemon, Agave & Soda) or the Donkey Kong (Pineapple Rum, Banana, Chocolate & Cream Soda). If cocktails aren’t your tipple of choice then there’s a good range of beer and wine on offer too. 

NQ64 Edinburgh will be opening in the former Badabing bar site on Lothian Road. Matt Robson, Co-Founder and Director of NQ64 said, “We can’t wait to get our Edinburgh site open. I love the city and I hope people are going to love our new bar.” 

Earlier this year NQ64 secured £1.4m of investment from Imbiba to aid its expansion plans. To support their significant growth plans David McDowall, chief operating officer at BrewDog became the new chairman. Ex-managing director of Be At One, Andrew Stones also joined the NQ64 board as the representative for Imbiba. 

As a result of the investment and creativity of the NQ64 team the company are opening a second venue in Manchester, on Peter Street, from 21st June. They are also working towards opening a bar in Newcastle.
