NQ64 secures second London site

NQ64, the immersive retro arcade bar concept backed by Imbiba, is to open its second site in London, in Shoreditch. The nine-strong NQ64, which made its debut in London, in Soho, last year, has secured the old Club Aquarium nightclub site in Old Street, for an opening this May/June. Founded in 2019 by Andy Haygarth and Matt Robson, the company received £2.5m in funding from ThinCats last August in order to accelerate its openings pipeline. It is also targeting new locations in Leeds, Birmingham, Bath, Nottingham, Reading, Belfast, Sheffield, Aberdeen and Brighton, as well as further London sites.

Michael Penfold of AG&G acted on behalf of NQ64 and Alex Lowry of Stephen Kane & Company acted for the landlord.
