The neon-splattered venues are the perfect spot for an evening or night of fun and gaming.
Having been to a number of retro arcades, this one is the best I’ve visited in the UK.
You can even get some fancy cocktails as you play.
But the highlight is all the retro arcade machines available to gamers.
This includes Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Space Invaders, Crazy Taxi and many more, as well as pinball machines.
Machines at NQ64 venues operate with tokens you buy, each costing 1-2 tokens per person per play.
At the moment, the company is giving away free vouchers to exchange for tokens.
You can get 20 tokens, which usually cost £10 (or £12 in London).
And even when you’ve finished your tokens there are retro consoles too such as PS2 and Xbox that you can play for free without any tokens.
All you have to do is complete a quick four minute survey here meant for students and a voucher will be sent to you within 24 hours, NQ64 says.
NQ64 sites are for over 18s only but they do run a special monthly day where kids are allowed in.
Under 18s can enter on the final Sunday of every month between 11am and 3pm, as long as they’re accompanied by an adult.
So the next dates will August 31 and September 28.
