A new retro gaming bar and burger spot is set to open in the Northern Quarter. Going by the name Calcio!, it has landed on Dale Street, and will be throwing its doors open just in time for the 2022 World Cup.
The bar will feature gaming booths, each with its own old school consoles, including a classic Sega Megadrive, a Super Nintendo, a Playstation 1, Nintendo 64, Playstation 2, a first generation Xbox, a PS3 and an Xbox 360.
Named ‘calcio’ after the Italian slang term for football, the beautiful game will be part and parcel of the offering here too. As well as old school games like Street Fighter, there will also be an onus on classic football games like Pro Evolution Soccer, Fifa and International Superstar Soccer.
