manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

The Northern Quarter’s hit gaming bar NQ64 is moving. But never fear, it’s not moving far - it’s simply moving next door, into what was formerly the late-night spot Dive Bar on Tib Street.

The new venue is a substantial move for the small set-up, and will allow those heading to the bar for gaming, drinks and snacks to spread out a little.

The unit that was Dive Bar seated 350, with a huge terrace at the front too. There are booths and banquette seating inside, and a host of new retro arcade games will be brought in, according to owners, to sit alongside current favourites including Guitar Hero, Pac Man, Street Fighter and Time Crisis.

The bar will be expanding its drinks selection, with more gaming themed cocktails like the Power Star Martini - a twist on a passionfruit martini, the Sonic-vibed Dr Ro Bev Nik (a cherry Old Fashioned) and the Kong Island Iced Tea, inspired by Donkey Kong.
