Four Quarters Peckham — Restaurant in London

I'd been waiting for this place to open for a good year, once I heard that the guys from Retro Game Base in Streatham were planning an arcade bar and kitchen in Peckham. Also I was dying to play an old favourite from the 90s - Die Hard Arcade - which they had in there briefly after it opened. Along with House of the Dead 2 and Metal Slug, the only arcade I think I've ever completed. I like the deal that every arcade machine (bar the pinball) costs a US quarter, which you can get from the machine or the bar, at a £1:$1 rate.

I also like the 'East Berlin Stasi speakeasy' charm of the basement, where I watched Back to the Future last year. Also (when it's open) upstairs is a great to get your nostalgia on with the NESes, SNESes, N64s, Master Systems and Megadrives amongst the pouffy worn sofas. Mario Kart 64 tournaments are fun to play, even (or especially) with strangers and the chaps from the Brick Brewery across the road.

Now a staple part of an evening out in Peckham, it's always fun to get that ultimate Millennial's nostalgia fix - late 80s to late 90s arcade gaming. In a convivial atmosphere. With beers (of which there are a good choice).

In the words of Barney Gumble: "If you didn't close, I'd...

I recently visited Four Quarters in Peckham on 25/08, having chosen it specifically due to its advertised dog-friendly policy. However, upon arrival, we were abruptly told by the bouncer that dogs were not allowed. Despite showing the online listing that said otherwise, the manager confirmed this policy, leaving us confused and frustrated.

We had made special arrangements and traveled a considerable distance based on the information on their website, only to be turned away. This caused significant inconvenience and forced us to change our plans last minute. The alternative venue we found didn’t meet our expectations.

I contacted the venue directly afterward to express my concerns, but they never even bothered to reply. This lack of response speaks volumes about their customer service and how much they value feedback.

The handling of the situation was particularly poor. The staff’s dismissive attitude and lack of clear information ruined what was supposed to be a pleasant outing.

If you’re visiting for a dog-friendly experience, I suggest verifying directly before visiting, as the online information seems unreliable. Very...

Had a great time here Friday night 11th Jan. Very friendly staff, good company from fellow gamers (always a humbling crowd), good selection of arcades and surprisingly great selection of vegan food - very tasty fries and nuggets, with a generous helping of sauce.

We even ended up dancing in the basement a bit early (we got drunk very quickly!), and the bartender there kindly played us a few requested tunes from a particular genre (salsa!) as the DJ was yet to arrive. He continued to play some related ones he recommended too, which were just fab!

Last but not least, my friend lost her wallet in the bar that night. However, a kind soul had handed it in and the staff safely handed back to us the next morning, everything intact. :)

Thoroughly impressed with 4 Quarters!! Love the staff and chilled atmosphere. Only drawback is that the upstairs retro area was closed off - but that’s understandable considering the increased amount of drunks (like us!) on the weekend - I’d do the same with my collection.

They have an updated scoreboard at the front. Will be back to try and my...
