Big fan of the brand, enjoyed multiple trips to the Leeds bar. Found bar staff rude when simply asking for a drink so was put off of having one. Games were very good for the most part, one machine ate some tokens but it happens. Was very warm in the bar. Will give this bar another go as maybe was just an off night but staff weren’t welcoming this evening.

Tikki (outdoor) bar was awesome in atmosphere and gaming. The main part downstairs was awesome with even more games and drinks. The original NQ64 bar was a great visit

Bartenders very rude, left me very disappointed, confused and upset. I was told off by the bartender for kissing my partner which was very rude. It is a joke at the bar to not show affection however he did not say it in a jokey way. I also ordered a drink and used my student ID to get a discount and was told in a very rude tone to “show it at the start next time” harshly. Not happy at all; everytime I come back I get treated very poorly by the bartending staff. Be better NQ64, and hire more respectful people.

I also used to love this bar but they need training on hidden disabilities. I used the disabled toilet and the security guard came banging on the door whilst I was urinating. Then the security guard tries to tell me confidently that I do not have a disability and that I should prove it. Also how I shouldn’t be using my own radar key and I should be using the one behind the bar. I continued to explain I shouldn’t have to but if he insists I can show him my disability access card to prove to him I am infact disabled and entitled to use the toilet made for my sensory needs. I have then gone on to tell who was supposedly the deputy manager what had happened which she did not seem to have a care for what had just happened. I have then removed myself from the bar to try and calm my meltdown getting separated from my partner and friends. At this point the security guards wouldn't let me back in nor offered to get the rest of the people I am with (I am very much in need of a companion as my disability card I shown them proved). The least they could have done was reassure me they would get them instead . They insisted to instead manhandle me because I came across as "aggressive". My partner had to jump in considering it was 4 male securities guards putting their hands on a disabled woman all started because I used a disabled toilet then had my disability questioned because I didn’t look disabled enough to use that toilet. My arms are covered in bruises and also they managed to give me a blood blister. Training needs to be done because hidden disabilities EXIST! "how is that ableism" muttered under the managers breathe when questioned on why this was allowed is disgraceful behaviour from senior members of staff when receiving a complaint. Just because you cannot see my disability it doesn’t mean that it is not there. Maybe some equality and diversity training would be appropriate for all staff members including security staff. I would also recommend that you take training in neurodiversity and how to appropriately handle someone that is having an autistic meltdown because I can assure you it’s not to aggravate them and to manhandle them and it is far from that. UPDATE: I did email them as they requested since they said they had concerns over the way staff handled it and I’ve been ignored.

We came as a group after work and everyone had a great time on the games, my only gripe is that it took a long time to get served as everyone in the bar was ordering cocktails and they take a long time to make but I understand that having more than one person on the bar in the early evening probably doesn't make sense! I would definitely recommend visiting, just head to the bar sharpish 😄

Was all well and good (games, gorgeous girlies on the bar being super kind), until the 20-something male grouch that brought my pizza over said "you'll have to come get it yourself if you want any" when I asked if ketchup was available. Respectfully, who hurt you? Was having a lovely evening until his attitude took precedence. All my friends said "why was he just so rude to you?" after that interaction - made me feel so rubbish lol.

TLDR - Go to arcade club, its cheaper and has more games Goes for all locations, but incredibly overpriced for what it is. £10 for 15 tokens is a sham. Most of the more sought after machines (guitar hero, time crisis, outrunners 2 ect) are 2 tokens per player, so if your a duo, then 10 pound will get you 3 games. Id say on average you'd want at least 50 tokens to give everything you want a try, so £40. The drinks are also crazy expensive too. 1 'peach on the beach' and 2 double shots of vodka, £29. Outrageous. Pair this was an almost 'predatory' incentive to tip, and it makes for an incredibly expensive day out. There are not that many machines either, so on busier days, you ll struggle to get on anything. Compare this to somewhere like Arcade club in bury, where its £16 pound entry, has 4 floors of arcade games, and has a more reasonably priced menu, with a full hot food menu to boot. A decent gimmick if its the only arcade near you, but overall way too expensive for what it is. I will give credit to the free play retro consoles. PS - The music they play in this one is a huge downgrade compared to other sites.

Nice place, very nostalgic, had a bit of a giggle. Wasn't as much to do as the nq64 on Peter street. Biggest drawback was the price of drinks. They draw you in with the gaming theme cocktails but maaaate £10 for the Dr robotnik thing which was just all ice and a shot of cherry bourbon. Dude you had our pants down big time. Not cheap for the arcades either, £10 for 20 coins but then 4 of us had 1 go on mario kart was 8 coins done already. I liked it in there but probably wouldn't return as it's just too expensive

Extremely disappointed. I used to love this bar, one of the first bar I had discovered when I moved to Manchester. I grew so found of it I would come by myself to play. I don’t know if that tattooed brown haired female bartender is going to be here for long, but she was so rude and definitely needs professional and customer service training. I have hearing issues and tried to order. I talked loudly by mistake, and she shouted at me saying I should respect her as a fellow industry worker (I ordered using industry discount for which she asks me different payslips to prove it, making the whole thing exhausting as I was literally coming out of a shift) that I shouldn’t scream at her. I tried to explain I have an hearing impairment, so I don’t realise how loud I talk, even more in bars as music is playing. She didn’t bother listening to me and kept pestering me. Stupid me still left a tip. I still got a drink but left in tears within 15 minutes. I have never left a bar in tears, it was the worst experience I have ever had. I felt humiliated and attacked. It was my last time in this place, and I will not go back.

Great music and great games. You can easily kill an hour in here without realising. Arcade machines require tokens which you have to buy in bulk which isn’t an issue. I think it’s great that old school Nintendo and PlayStation and Xbox consoles require no tokens to play. So whether it’s Mario Kart or 1 vs 1 on rust in the OG MW2 there’s plenty for people to like

Went here for a drink after a gig. Entered the bar with no issues then the bar staff refused to serve us. Asked for an explanation as we were both in our 30 so not underage and not drunk He said the bouncer didn't like the look of us. No further explanation given. Found the staff very rude, no explanation given. Wouldn't go back. Really ruined our night considering we don't go out much having young children so we're excited to visit venue and we're turned away for unjust reasons.

Visited the Birmingham NQ64 a few times now but this one in Manchester is a definite improvement on that. Overall looks and feels much cleaner, a bigger space and the bonus of a decent outdoor sheltered seating area with additional games and a bar for outside entertainment (although they wasn’t serving in that area when I visited so not sure if it’s usually open during their opening hours) Maintenance in the gaming area was on point and the seating was clean and arranged well. Would definitely visit again if in Manchester.

Lights out, blacklights on! This place offers all sorts of arcade games, from classic Mario to newer games like guitar hero. Some are free to play, others require you to buy tokens. It's a great place, but it can be a bit much for you, because of the lights and the sounds. Price: 10 pounds for 20 tokens. Smaller games are 1 token per person, bigger games are 2 tokens per person. Drinks: fun twists on classic cocktails, good selection of beers on tap. Happy hour offers you some pints or some cocktails at a discount price, until 7 pm.

On Wednesday last week I visited both NQ64 locations in Manchester & I won't be coming back again. The consoles at the Peter st location are in a really bad state and I'd say pretty much unplayable at this point. The arcade machines are fun but you really need to add some new games, virtua tennis & sega rally would be a good starting point. When it comes to the music hip hop is cool but it's literally all you play, why not mix up.the genres with some techno, trance and rock ? the service was fine and Asahi on draft is always great to see.

If you like classic arcade games, look no further. Nestled in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter, this wondrous throwback takes any gaming nerd right back to where it all began. Try your hand at pong, dabble on the dancemats and don't panic when it comes to Time Crisis. In all seriousness, it's a great place for a small group of mates or a date, reasonably priced and lots of fun to be had.

El servicio fue excelente, pero un poco decepcionado con la comida. Tenía gambas estilo Hong Kong agridulces. La comida era Luke caliente y la salsa era demasiado mojado. Mi amiga estaba decepcionada con su plato de fideos. Demasiado ajo. Esperamos que mejore en nuestra próxima visita.
