A new retro arcade bar has announced it is taking over a popular nightclub in Bristol city centre. UK bar chain NQ64 will be opening at the former site of Opa Luxury Hall, a former Greek restaurant and late-night bar on Baldwin Street.
NQ64 has grown from its original site in Manchester’s Northern Quarter to nine retro gaming bars across the UK, having first been founded in 2019. There are two more venues confirmed to open later this year in Shoreditch and Bristol having secured funding to roll out in more UK cities, Business Live reports.
The new Bristol bar is set to open in July and will host around 300 people, making it one of the largest capacity venues along the street. Although Bristol has a smaller arcade bar on Park Street, NQ64 claims to be the first immersive arcade bar experience of its kind in the South West, decorated in the company's signature neon style.
