From rare and vintage restored arcade games, classic consoles, themed events, pizza, on-theme cocktails to craft beer and private parties, Four Quarters has plans to move into the basement and lower ground floor of former restaurant Gershwin's. 

Named after the fact that £1.50 gets you four American quarters to feed into their machines, it boasts a varied collection of vintage arcade games from the 1970s to the mid-2000s.

Visitors can enjoy themselves on restored machines, from throwback favourites such as Pac-Man to the more modern Time Crisis 2. There are comfy booths with various old school consoles, from the Megadrive, N64, to the beloved PS2. Guests can also enjoy a range of pizza, classic and themed cocktails, and local craft beer. 

There's a schedule of live events, including film screenings and a pop culture quiz.
