I’m not saying you should plan your entire evening around taking photos. But, like, don’t not plan your evening around it?
The pictures from NQ64 Soho are a time capsule. They mix the scratchy feeling of a retro arcade with the slick, modern energy of Soho. It’s like someone took your childhood bedroom, added a cocktail bar, and cranked up the volume.
You don’t even have to play the games. Just stand in the middle of the room and look up. The ceiling is covered in old consoles and circuit boards. The photos of that are insane.
And if you do go, please take a photo of the toilet signs. One is a pixelated mushroom, the other is a fire flower. It’s the kind of detail that makes a place feel alive.
The Verdict? Go. Now. With Your Phone.
Honestly, just scroll through the NQ64 Soho tag on Instagram. You’ll see a rainbow of neon, a mess of arcade cabinets, and a whole lot of people having the time of their lives.
It’s loud, it’s bright, and the photos are never boring. They’re like a conversation with that one friend who always has a crazy story. You don’t know where it’s going, but you’re happy to be along for the ride.
So, next time you’re in Soho, skip the generic pub. Go to NQ64. And when you do, don’t just take a picture. Take a memory, ideally one that’s covered in neon and pixel dust.
You’ll thank me later. Probably while posting the photos, and while wondering why your blurry shot of a Time Crisis cabinet got more likes than your breakfast.
