After a trip to the new Beer Rebellion bar near Queen’s Road Peckham, we wandered over towards Peckham Rye to find Four Quarters, London’s first arcade bar, much like Emporium and Beercade in Chicago, and Barcade in New York (guess where I’ve just been?). London is lacking in the fun department as far as bars go, as most leave the speakeasy quirks at the hidden door and take themselves very seriously, but hopefully, inspired by our friends across the pond, this is starting to change. Bounce, Ping and Pop-Up Ping Pong have been leading the table-tennis charge, a game of cornhole was spotted outside Beavertown’s new tap room, and Draughts board game bar is soon opening in Haggerston. Now all we need are a few shuffleboard tables and some skeeball and I’ll be happy.Anyway, I digress. As the name hints, you swap 1 for 4 American quarters (not a good exchange rate!) to use in a variety of lovingly restored classic arcade games and pinball machines. Try your hand at Pacman, Tron, Point Blank, Star Wars Trilogy, Pong, Street Fighter II and more whilst consuming beer, wine and grilled cheese. Games from your childhood and adult drinks – the perfect combo.Since I visited, they have also opened an upstairs room to celebrate some old console classics such as Mario Kart, Micro Machines and Bomberman. A perfect excuse for a return visit.The draft beer options aren’t terribly exciting but there’s plenty of good stuff in the fridge including Odell 5 Barrel Pale Ale and the Fourpure range of cans. If they upped their game on the taps too, I’d be there every week. With opening hours as late as 2am on weekends and a few night bus options nearby, it’s the perfect relaxed place to end a Peckham bar crawl, and hopefully the first in a wave of similar fun-focused watering holes. mattthelist.com
