Bristol retro arcade bar launches new cocktails menu and drinks deals for summer

A retro arcade game and classic console venue in Bristol is launching a new cocktails menu and drinks deals for the summer.      

From May 9, NQ64 on Baldwin Street is offering the new and refreshed concoction of classic cocktails, twisted reboots, and game-themed creations, all created by its in-house drinks experts.   

Highlighted among the lineup are new arcade cocktails include: 

• The Lemmingade, a zesty, summery delight (Limoncello, Absolut Citron, lemon, Pink Hooch, prosecco, rosemary)
• The Golden-Iced Latte, inspired by a vanilla iced latte and including NQ64’s Worther’s Original infused coco-milk (Havava Especial, Licor 43, butterscotch, espresso, and butterscotch foam)
• The Royal Crumble, a light and sweet martini-style treat (Jack Daniel’s Apple, lime, rhubarb, custard)

New twisted reboots - timeless cocktails with game-themed twist - include the Disco Stu Daiquiri (Duppy White, bubblegum & lime), Kong Island Iced Tea (Absolut vodka, El Jimador tequila, Beefeater gin, Wray & Nephew rum, Caribbean pineapple, tea & sour peach) and the Mad Max Zombie (house rum blend, grapefruit, pineapple, guava, orange, cherry, & cinnamon fire).  

New non-alcoholic cocktails include the No Uka Uka (Caleno 0%, guava, pineapple & refresher syrup) and the Hits From The Pong (Raspberry, guava, kimi & lime - can be made with CBD). 

For those who love the cocktail classics, six favourites have been added to the menu including Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz, Margarita and Mai Tai - which cost £6 each from Sunday to Friday.

New drinks deal, the Multiplayer 6-Pack Carry Case, means players can take a six-pack of Hooch or White Claw around the arcade white playing.   

James Taylor, in-house drinks expert at NQ64, said: “When we dreamt up our new drinks menu, we wanted to match the fun and excitement of our games, whilst shouting about the top-notch quality of our cocktails.

“We whip up every drink concept right here in-house with our talented Head Bartenders, drawing from our extensive knowledge of cocktail history. 

“We've got our fair share of arcade game fame, but our cocktails? They're the real MVPs."
