NQ64 Arcade Bar - Peter Street, Deansgate

NQ64 Arcade Bar on Peter Street combines a late-night drinks venue with retro arcade gaming and classic home-console play. The Deansgate bar has a neon-lit, nostalgia-led style, with rows of arcade machines and consoles forming the main focus of the setting. The result is a social space built around games, drinks and familiar pop-culture references rather than a conventional dining experience.

The drinks list centres on cocktails with names, flavours and presentation inspired by games and entertainment. Alongside the cocktail menu, the bar serves a selection of beers, wines, spirits and soft drinks. Alcohol-free cocktails are also available, giving non-drinkers options within the same game-themed format. Menu markings indicate vegetarian and vegan choices among the drinks.

Arcade favourites and console games provide the entertainment, making the venue suitable for groups looking for an informal evening activity, as well as adults who enjoy retro gaming. The atmosphere is colourful, energetic and intentionally nostalgic, with the bar design and drinks menu carrying the same gaming theme as the machines. Group and corporate bookings are catered for, while individual sessions can also be booked.

The venue is primarily aimed at adults, with under-18s permitted only on Sundays between 11am and 3pm. All other sessions are restricted to people aged 18 and over. That schedule makes the Sunday daytime period the relevant option for families with younger visitors, while the rest of the week is intended for adult socialising and late-night gaming.

NQ64 Arcade Bar is located at 23 Peter St, Manchester M2 5QR, close to the Deansgate area. It operates seven days a week and is designed for late sessions, so it can suit a drink after work, a gaming-focused night out or a larger social gathering. The combination of playable machines, console gaming and themed cocktails gives the venue a clear identity for visitors seeking entertainment alongside drinks.
