Update (Fri 23 Oct 2026): NQ JPN is now open in Soho and opening-night photos have been shared publicly.
NQ64 Arcade Bars Ltd., the UK-based operator behind multiple gaming-focused hospitality venues, has launched NQ JPN, a Japan-centric arcade bar located on Berwick Street in London's Soho district.
The venue opened to the public on Friday, October 23, 2026, and positions itself as a specialist site for imported Japanese arcade cabinets alongside themed drinks and music.
The venue's social channels and promotional materials emphasize a lineup of imported Japanese arcade machines, Japanese-inspired cocktails and an electronic-music soundtrack.
NQ64's official website initially offered a mailing-list sign-up ahead of launch, while the venue's Instagram showcased several arcade titles and machines that will form the core of the floor offering.
Photos and promotional posts highlight a selection of Japanese rhythm-action titles and cabinets familiar to arcade enthusiasts, including Konami's Museca, Dancerush Stardom, Jubeat and Sega's MaiMai.
Images also show marquee-style arcade cabinets and an Astro City-style cabinet among the hardware on display.
For visitors used to NQ64's other sites or larger arcade collections such as Arcade Club, the roster will be recognisably focused on high-energy, rhythm-action experiences.
Ahead of the public opening, NQ JPN hosted a special 'Games Testing' pre-opening evening for which tickets sold out in under two hours of going on sale.
NQ64 venues typically operate on a pre-paid token basis for arcade play; prospective visitors should check the venue's official site or social channels for current pricing, booking windows and session details.
NQ JPN is an 18+ venue in line with NQ64's usual age policy; select daytime windows on Sundays may allow under-18s when specifically advertised.
The bar is located on Berwick Street, Soho, London, and is expected to join NQ64's existing portfolio of city-centre arcade bars across the UK.
While the venue centers on physical arcade machines rather than home-console releases or digital storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop, it caters to fans of Japanese arcade culture and rhythm-action gaming looking for a dedicated, central-London location to play imported cabinets and sample themed cocktails.
