Level Up Your Night Out: The Best Arcade Bars in London
There’s something magical about the buzz of arcade buttons, the glow of neon lights, and the thrill of beating your mates at Mario Kart after a few cocktails. Whether you're chasing high scores, reliving your childhood, or just fancy a night out that doesn’t involve shouting over a DJ, London’s arcade bars deliver a night of fun-fuelled nostalgia with a grown-up twist.
Once the final game’s been played and the tokens are spent, there’s no need to rush for the last train or hail a cab across town! Our London serviced apartments are dotted across some of the capital, giving you the perfect place to unwind in style after your joystick journey.
So whether you’re planning a date night with a difference, a birthday with built-in bragging rights, or just a midweek evening that hits pause on your usual routine, here’s our pick of London’s best arcade bars —each one guaranteed to level up your night.
NQ64
NQ64 has landed in Soho , and if you love your arcades with a splash of neon and a side of 90s nostalgia, this is your spot.
The walls are glowing, the drinks are themed (try the Power Star Martini ), and the lineup of games is a who’s-who of retro legends: Street Fighter II, Pac-Man, Time Crisis—you name it.
Tokens are your currency, and the vibe is somewhere between underground club and your childhood bedroom (if your childhood bedroom had a DJ spinning old-school hip hop).
Fairgame
Let’s get competitive. Over in Canary Wharf, Fairgame is reinventing the classic British funfair—and trust us, this is not your average coconut shy.
Think next-gen versions of nostalgic games like Whac-A-Mole, Skeeball, and hook-a-duck, all powered by wristband tech that tracks your score across the venue.
Add in gourmet street food, boozy slushies, and a riverside location that’s perfect for pre- or post-game drinks, and you’ve got the ultimate group night out.
Four Quarters
If you like your craft beer served with a side of Space Invaders , Four Quarters is your go-to.
Nestled just steps from London Bridge , this bar serves up vintage arcade hits and old-school consoles in a cool, laid-back setting. They've even got GameCube setups and a N64 corner for some Mario Kart showdowns.
The beer menu is top-tier, and the crowd is a fun mix of after-work teams, date-night duos, and serious joystick junkies.
F1 Arcade
And now for something a little faster . In the heart of the city, F1 Arcade is where Formula 1 meets fine dining and full-throttle fun.
You’ll strap into a top-spec racing simulator (complete with motion seats) and go head-to-head with your mates—or randoms, if you're feeling bold—on world-famous F1 tracks.
There's a sleek bar, futuristic interiors, and plenty of Instagrammable moments—plus a menu that’s much more high-end than your average arcade fare. It’s slick, it’s speedy, and yes, it gets very competitive.
