NQ64 Soho Reviews Summary

Game Selection and Variety

Pros:

• "Loads of arcade games like Time Crisis, dance machines, guitar heroes mario kart and many more."
• "A whole load of arcade cabinets to pick from, and very fair prices for the tokens."
• "The arcades work off NQ64 tokens which can be purchased at the bar. The consoles are free play."
• "Great selection of machines, had a blast. Cocktails were nice and had fun themes."
• "The game options were plentiful; everything from House of the Dead to Outrun."
• "The only reaeon i couldnt give it 5 was the amount of coins that where eaten by the machines .... other than that really cool place"

Cons:

• "Some machines weren’t working and we lost some tokens."
• "A few arcade machines were broken to various degrees. From swallowing tokens to non-functional buttons."
• "Some machines are unresponsive to inputs (e.g. Tetris, Street Fighter), probably the controls were abused too much."
• "Games that should be there: Asteroids, Scramble, Karate champ (from the film bloodsport a classic)"
• "A lot of the machines have slight issues (Marge's attack button was intermittent, the pink gun's trigger on time crisis 2 would stop working for a few seconds, player 1's block on mk3 didn't work)."

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "The neon colours are really nice, the atmosphere was buzzing with a great DJ."
• "Really cool atmosphere! I've been to a few NQ64 bars and generally they're pretty good, and this one is no different."
• "Great spot, great environment, and a good choice of beer and cocktails."
• "Stepping downstairs you are immediately facing a large bar, and to all sides are an array of retro arcades."

Cons:

• "It gets hot in there so dress coolly."
• "Navigating through toilets was something... The women's toilet was too dark to navigate into."
• "If you're in a group of more than 8, the booths might be a right squeeze!"
• "There's a huge selection of games which were also very well priced. The decor is very cool. Quite a lot of security guards inside which made me feel safe if anyone got a bit out of hand."

Drinks and Food

Pros:

• "Absolutely amazing drinks 🍹"
• "Nice cocktails too, didn't need to wait too long on a Saturday night!"

• "Cocktail menu is good, but at the time we visited they were out of stock of some of them as they were redoing the menu."
• "Great wide selection of gaming booth however I feel like some games are rigged...e.g Tetris setting was made deliberately faster so you have to spend more tokens to retry."
• "The toilets are a bit dark."

Customer Service

• "The servers are amazing and so nice!"
• "Staff was really, really cool, probably gonna be here quiet often myself."
