First look at 90s-inspired arcade bar in city centre

By Lola Forbes  Tuesday Jul 11, 2023

A former restaurant and nightclub on Baldwin Street has been turned into a 90s-inspired, multi-floor bar.

Described as a “neon-splattered drinking den”, NQ64 now houses classic console and arcade games alongside a strong drinks offering.

The adult-only venue offers game-themed cocktails such as a powerstar martini, a twist on a passionfruit martini, and an aku aku fruit punch, inspired by Crash Bandicoot.

These include Time Crisis, Pac-Man, Guitar Hero, Street Fighter, Tekken and Dancing Stage.

Here is a first look inside NQ64:
