NQ64 Arcade Bar - Nottingham

You're stepping into a proper time warp here. NQ64 has filled a gap in Nottingham's drinking scene that nobody quite knew they needed — a place where you can nurse a well-made cocktail whilst battering it out on vintage arcade cabinets. The Thurland Street location sits right in the heart of the city's bar quarter, and it absolutely buzzes on weekends. The real magic is that this isn't just gimmicky window dressing; the drinks are genuinely good, the games are actually playable (not knackered relics), and the crowd is refreshingly unpretentious.
