About this gaming cafe
135 words · editorialPixel Bar is a gaming bar on Thomas Street in the Northern Quarter: booths with consoles and PCs, drinks at the bar, and booking by the hour rather than a walk-in floor.
The PC area, branded as a PCSpecialist Gaming Arena, has at least five machines on RTX 3070 cards and Ryzen 7 5800X processors over a full-fibre line. Rates start at £4.50 an hour, and a new account comes with one hour free. Two details come from the 75 reviews read for this page: the monitors were recently changed from 240Hz to 165Hz, and the console booths now include Switch 2 — visitor reports rather than published specs.
Doors run from 16:00 to 01:00 on weekdays and to 03:00 on Friday and Saturday, which makes it the only venue in Manchester on our list open past midnight. The rating is 4.6 from 1,077 Google reviews.
