NQ64, Cardiff

David Walton left this review about NQ64

Visited 21/08/25. Visited previously on 26/10/23.

No cask. Keg offering of Neck Oil, their own branded pilsner, Clwb Tropica, berries & cherries Old Mount cider, Asahi, the Cosmic Drop berry stuff from BT, Guinness, Orchard Thieves cider.

The Cardiff venue isn't as big, as far as I can tell, as some of their mega venues (eg the subterranean venue on Old St). Obviously, many similarities (eg eyes need to become accustomed to the low light after walking in off a bright day outside). The front part, in a venue with an industrial flooring, is taken up by arcade games as is the rear part, with the steps between illuminated by bright neon pink strip lighting to ensure there aren't too many accidents in traversing the levels! The bar is on the left-hand wall in the mid part of the venue and has a couple of tall stools to sit at the bar counter either end. There is some seating at the ledges around the pillars in the middle part of the floor space in this area and similar seating at barrel like tables between the pillars. On the wall opposite the bar counter are several booth tables. One of the striking aspects of their venues is the luminescent graffiti on the walls which I find quite mesmeric. No screens other than the arcade games and music suitably loud and attuned to the type of venue.
