Six By Nico & NQ64 join forces to create the ultimate nostalgic night out

This festive season, Colmore Business District based venue Six by Nico, known for its ever-evolving six-course tasting menus, is collaborating with NQ64, the retro arcade bar, to bring guests an unforgettable nostalgic experience. Inspired by Six by Nico’s current menu Nostalgia, which takes diners on a culinary journey through cherished memories, this partnership extends the theme beyond the dining table for the ultimate retro evening.

Beat The Chef! 

To launch the collaboration, Six by Nico is challenging participants in NQ64 Birmingham to‘Beat The Chef’ at everyone’s favourite retro arcade game, Pac-Man. Each participant that submits their score has a chance to win one of 10 £20 vouchers a week. 

However, if you manage to beat the high score set by CEO, Nico Simeone, you have the chance to win an exclusive prize. Here’s what’s up for grabs:

• Week 1: A table for six to celebrate the festive period.
• Week 2: Mystery Prize worth over £200! and an NQ64 credit card (giving you free gaming and discounted drinks all year)
• Week 3: Welcome drinks and snacks on Six by Nico for the next year.
• Week 4: A joint £500 voucher 
• Week 5: A Nostalgic Table for Four at the end of January!
• Week 6: A table for four at Six by Nico’s next menu and NQ64 merch hamper (booze, tees, tokens)

Nostalgic Date Night 

To extend the experience, diners who book Six by Nico’s Nostalgia between December 16th and January 26th, will receive free NQ64 gaming tokens at the end of their meal – perfect for continuing the fun with some lighthearted competition! 

Guests can enjoy classic arcade games alongside NQ64’s newly launched cocktail menu, which includes new favourites like Peach on the Beach and Mountain Doom. 

Six by Nico Birmingham will also feature a Pacman machine provided by NQ64, allowing diners to relive retro classics while waiting for their table and immerse themselves fully in the nostalgic theme.

Commenting on the collaboration, Six by Nico CEO Nico Simeone said: “Our next menu celebrates the power of experiencing nostalgia through taste. I took some of my childhood moments and challenged my thinking into how these could be served as a dish. To really enhance the experience, we are thrilled to be able to partner with NQ64 to allow guests across the UK to extend their Nostalgia experience into retro-gaming, where they also get the chance to beat my high score on Pac-Man! It’s been a lot of fun so far and we look forward to welcoming guests to both venues to experience a true taste and evening of nostalgia from start to finish, with the chance to win some amazing prizes.” 

NQ64 Co-Founder Matt Robson said: “I love this collab. Nico for the tasty nostalgic scran, and then back to ours for a retro gaming knees up. Match made in heaven!”
