The neon-splattered venues are the perfect spot for an evening or night of fun and gaming.
Having been to a number of retro arcades, this one is the best I've visited in the UK.
You can even get some fancy cocktails as you play.
But the highlight is all the retro arcade machines available to gamers.
This includes Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, Space Invaders, Crazy Taxi and many more, as well as pinball machines.
Machines at NQ64 venues operate with tokens you buy, each costing 1-2 tokens per person per play.
At the moment, the company is giving away free vouchers to exchange for tokens.
You can get 20 tokens, which usually cost £10 (or £12 in London).
And even when you've finished your tokens there are retro consoles too such as PS2 and Xbox that you can play for free without any tokens.
All you have to do is complete a quick four minute survey here meant for students and a voucher will be sent to you within 24 hours, NQ64 says.

Under 18s can enter on the final Sunday of every month between 11am and 3pm, as long as they're accompanied by an adult.
So the next dates will August 31 and September 28.
Here's the full list of NQ64 locations:

Who is Mitch Lane? The budget food guru helping families beat the cost of living
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TIKTOK is the place to be if you are a foodie, with creators everywhere teaching doom scrollers how to cook. But while many of them are former award-winning, Michelin-trained, multi-hyphenated chefs, one self-taught home cook has garnered a major following. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Mitch Lane was invited to appear at BBC Good Food Show in 2023 Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial Who is Mitch Lane? Mitch Lane is not like your average food TikToker. The dad of three is from Wolverhampton and has been posting his food-based content on social media since 2020. He is 32 years old and was previously a tool salesman in Walsall. His first post on his TikTok account was a mouthwatering Kinder Bueno, and from there, his platform grew. His first viral video came after he reconnected the famous McDonald's Big Mac from scratch, receiving over a million views on that alone. Since then, the proud Wolves Football Club fan has amassed over 1.2million loyal followers who stayed tuned to see his latest creation. His ethos is about helping people save, without scrimping on taste, and so Mitch has been praised for his honest and empathetic addressing of the current cost-of-living crisis. What are his books? Mitch has made it his mission to show busy parents how to cook on a budget, and he brought his TikToks to written form after releasing two cookbooks. 4 Mitch Lane has produced two cookbooks all around helping families save money Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial The self-taught chef authored his debut book, Feed Your Family For A Fiver, which was released in 2023. This book is packed full of easy, comforting, crowd-pleasing recipes that anyone can make on a budget, no matter your experience. From Tandoori Chicken Traybake to Budget Carbonara, Mitch makes life easy for his readers. The book received great acclaim, becoming a Sunday Times Bestseller. And so, he produced a follow-up in 2024, Feed Your Family For A Fiver – In Under 30 Minutes! 4 Mitch Lane released his second book in 2024 Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial Mitch spoke to the Sun previously about his motivations for his books. He said: 'I want all you busy, budget-conscious folk to enjoy tasty, comforting meals without breaking the bank. 'And with planning, you can make all these recipes within half an hour. 'Cheap and quick, it's what we need.' What is Mitch Lane doing now? Mitch attributes his success to Lockdown, as after being stuck indoors for months on end, he decided to start creating content. While he is an social media sensation, Mitch's life has not changed drastically. 4 Mitch Lane says not much has changed in his life, maintaining his day job Credit: Instagram/@mealsbymitchofficial By day, he is still working as a hardware supplier, selling nuts and bolts, the same job he has had since I left school at 17. But he has still managed to meet his idols, as he was invited to appear at BBC Good Food Show in 2023 alongside The Hairy Bikers and Ainsley Harriott. He told The i Paper: "For my friends and family at home, I think it is both weird and exciting to see me achieving this success. "You don't tend to see people from Wolverhampton on the telly, so when one of us is on there, we really cheer each other on."

My husband is only four-foot & looks nothing like my dream man but I married him anyway – people think our photos are AI
Read on to see why Anita changed her mind STEPPING UP My husband is only four-foot & looks nothing like my dream man but I married him anyway – people think our photos are AI Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WOMAN has admitted to friend-zoning her now husband who stands 4ft tall as he wasn't the dream man she pictured. Anita Wing Lee and Tim Muttoo met through mutual friends in 2021, and while he was eager to take things further, Anita admits she was hesitant. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Anita said Tim's height made her not want to date him Credit: Instagram/@anitawinglee 3 She even sent him a text to friend-zone him, but she soon regretted it Credit: Instagram/@anitawinglee Tim is a person of short stature, and the businesswoman admitted his height was a problem at first but soon got over it when she realised they were the perfect match in other areas. The pair soon became friends, but Tim's feelings turned romantic and he didn't hide it. On their website, Anita wrote: "Tim started texting me more frequently, and I found myself feeling uneasy. "I didn't see him that way, and I already knew he liked me. "I felt like I needed to put a stop to it, but at the same time, I didn't want to lose him as a friend." Anita crafted a message with the help of her sister to explain that she only wanted a friendship with Tim. "But how could I imagine myself with a 4-foot man?" she wondered. "Tim's torso was normal-sized, but his arms and legs were shorter. While that could look cute in some ways, it wasn't what I had ever pictured in a partner." "I had always envisioned myself looking up into my partner's eyes, but with Tim, that wasn't possible. What was I supposed to do?" Anita was hesitant to send the text, and once she did, she regretted it immediately, and it left her questioning if she had stronger feelings for Tim. 3 Now the pair are happily married despite many asking if their photos are AI generated Credit: Instagram/@anitawinglee 'I'm 25 and my boyfriend is 76 – people call our relationship disturbing and family say I'm ruining my life' Anita realised Tim was everything she was looking for in a husband. She said he was kind and thoughtful, with 'no red flags', and that being tall was not in the list of qualities she wanted in a future partner. "Thankfully, I processed the height thing… and now I actually think it's so adorable!" she added. "It's an added bonus that brings so much fun and sweetness to our lives! "So if you're still waiting for your person …they may not look like what you pictured and that might be the best part." Eventually, Tim and Anita went from friends to partners, and the couple got engaged in September 2024 before tying the knot this year. Relationships in numbers: The most common way to meet someone YouGov looked into how Brits find love, and your best bet is at work or through friends according to the data. Through work - 18% Through friends - 18% While out and about - 15% Other - 11% Online dating platform - 7% University or higher education - 6% Dating app - 6% School - 5% Shared hobby - 5% Family - 3% Face to face at an event - 0% Now the couple also work together, with Anita documenting and promoting Tim's charity H2O4all, a non-profit dedicated to making clean water accessible across the globe. On social media, the couple's wedding photos went viral as many asked if they were AI generated. She wrote: "We know many of you have been curious about our story, how we met and how our love grew. And, no, we are not an AI-generated image."
