Born from a love of classic video games, cocktails and craft beer you will find plenty to do at ’89. From the serious or casual gamer to those who want to relax in a unique venue with a quiet drink or friends looking for a big night out – we have got you covered.
Our atmosphere is always welcoming and laid back whilst our aesthetic is un-apologetically geek chic (our feature wall is made up of 500 real VHS cassette cases).
The bar and arcade is spread across two floors featuring three areas each with their own unique vibe. Hang in our dive arcade or play Street Fighter 2 in the Japanese back alleyway or maybe take a trip upstairs to our 70’s lounge style bar.
TWO FLOORS. 37 ARCADE GAMES AND PINBALL.
