An arcade bar with a hip-hop play list and retro games will be bringing a new late-night atmosphere to the city centre this summer with everything from its playlist to its cocktail menu being matched to its throwback vibe.
Retro gaming specialist NQ64 is taking over the Pilgrim Street premises formerly occupied by Intermezzo to open its ninth UK venue and the city opening is especially near to the heart of the company's co-founder Matthew Robson. He said: “Being a born and bred Geordie, opening in Newcastle is particularly special for me - and my mum!
"I hope NQ64 will bring a different offering to the city. We specialise in retro gaming and combine it with a banging drinks selection with a backdrop of classic hip hop tunes." So think a "neon-splattered" drinking den - with spray-paint artwork covering the walls and a ceiling glowing under UV lights. - plus lots of old-school nostalgia appeal for party-goers who can enjoying gaming into the early hours.
