Crazy Golf = Crazy in love?

No we’re not talking about those cheesy golf courses you find at the seaside. Crazy golf has a completely new meaning! Think cocktails, themed courses, bar snacks and street food, along with playlists to get you singing and dancing as you slowly discover you aren’t as good at golf as you thought…

Residents of the North West are fortunate to have access to several venues, offering you the the chance to get that hole in one:

Manchester’s Junkyard Golf Club located on First Street
Liverpool’s Ghetto Golf located in the former Cains Brewery off Parliament Street

Arcade games…but with alcohol!

Prepare to get competitive with a visit to arcade game bar NQ64! These bars have been designed to take you back to the days of your childhood. Hundreds of retro arcade games line the walls of both their Manchester and Liverpool venues. Battle against your date, playing some of the very best cult classics like Street Fighter, Guitar Hero, Pacman and more! Once you’re done playing a stint of some old school games, grab a themed cocktail at the bar whilst getting to know each other better - that’s if your gaming skills were enough to impress!

Feel the Beat

The North West can proudly say it’s the home of many a world famous rock/pop band, along with some iconic solo artists and duos too!
