NQ64 - Northern Quarter

Information

Various cabs of various degrees. All running on tokens priced at 20 for £10, prices are halved with student discounts. Consoles are free to play, buying a drink is encouraged. Drink prices are also reduced with student discounts; see https://nq64.co.uk/student-deals/ for further information.

Barcade where the people that work there aren't proper game techs and can only help with smaller issues most of the times, just make sure to let them know of any issue otherwise they'll never know about it to get it fixed.

Being a bar, it does get loud and crowded especially on weekends. If you attend, make sure you're okay with that. If the machines are ever too quiet for your preference, they might be able to adjust the volume for you.

For anyone who enjoys going there to play Maimai, bar staff are hinting quite frequently at potential for a competition when the left machine is repaired. I'd imagine that among some of you it'll be a steamroll, but it still sounds like fun regardless. If you ever find yourself in there, ask for more information :3

Oh and the duplicate dancing stage and GH are intentional; there are two on opposite sides of the venue for whatever reason. Most prices and condition left as unknown because I'm not made of money to find out :D

Have gone through and added most of the games to the best of my ability. May have scuffed up some of the sub-game selections (I imagine some of the NAs are Intl and vice versa) but should be generally accurate with regards to what cabs are here.
