NQ64 Bristol, Semi Private Banquettes

A really fun bar to pop into while in Bristol. The cocktails were fun and very sweet. I loved the atmosphere of the bar and there was a great assortment of games to play. Particularly loved rocking out to guitar hero! 🎸 🎶 🍹

NQ64 Bristol is an absolute gem that brilliantly combines proper retro gaming with a great bar atmosphere. I’ve been countless times, and it never fails to deliver an excellent night out. The pinball machines are the real stars here – they’ve got an impressive collection of classic and modern tables, all beautifully maintained and playing perfectly. My father has become something of a legend at NQ64, currently holding the high score on every single pinball machine in the place. Watching him play is genuinely entertaining, and the competitive element adds another layer of enjoyment to the experience. The staff have been brilliant about it too, acknowledging his achievements and creating a friendly, encouraging atmosphere for regulars. Beyond the pinball, there’s a fantastic selection of arcade games spanning decades – everything from Pac-Man and Space Invaders to more modern offerings. All machines are well-maintained, responsive, and set at fair difficulty levels. The tokens system is straightforward and reasonably priced, offering genuine value for hours of entertainment. The bar itself is excellent, with decent drinks selection and knowledgeable staff who are passionate about both gaming and hospitality. The venue strikes that perfect balance between lively and comfortable – busy enough to have atmosphere without being overcrowded or too loud to chat. Whether you’re reliving childhood memories, introducing younger generations to classic gaming, or simply enjoying something different from standard Bristol nightlife, NQ64 delivers completely. It’s become our regular spot, and I can’t recommend it highly enough
