Four Quarters has officially opened its latest venue in Southwark Quarter, next to London Bridge. The new arcade bar, which opened on 3 March, offers a combo of retro gaming, craft beer, and street food.

The venue is located within an industrial railway arch, featuring over 25 original arcade machines, vintage console booths, and large-screen projection gaming. Choose from a selection of 16 craft beers on draught, a variety of classic cocktails, and various street food vendors serving tasty treats to wash it all down with.

Inside, you'll find booth areas perfect for bigger groups, where you can go head-to-head on classic Nintendo, Sega, and PlayStation consoles. Plus, the arcade's signature machines run on actual American quarters, which you can grab at the bar for a proper retro gaming vibe.

Unlike other arcade bars, Four Quarters specialises in sourcing and restoring vintage arcade machines, ensuring they remain true to their original era. The new location boasts an extensive range of games from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, including well-known titles such as 'Street Fighter II,' 'Pac-Man,' 'Time Crisis 2,' 'Asteroids,' 'The Simpsons,' 'Space Invaders,' and 'Ridge Racer.'

Co-founder Marc Jones shared his excitement about the launch: "We are thrilled to finally open Four Quarters in Southwark Quarter. It's such a fantastic area, and we can't wait to see customers enjoying a drink while battling it out on 'Mario Kart'. After months of planning, it's amazing to see it all come together."
