The hotly anticipated Archie’s Atomic has officially opened its doors here at Trafford Palazzo in Manchester as of today (Thursday 7th November).
Celebrations kicked off with an exclusive launch party last night, where guests were treated to live performances from rappers Krept & Konan, and DJ sets by DJ Russke, Andy Purnell, and DJ Lordz, setting the stage for a vibrant new addition to Manchester’s entertainment scene. The celeb-filled guest list also included Aitch and Central Cee.
Brought to life by the minds behind the beloved Archie’s burger brand, this new venue delivers on all fronts, combining top-tier dining with immersive entertainment. The attraction includes the North’s largest and pinkest roller rink – a dazzling 5,000 sq-ft rink complete with a spinning disco ball, a state-of-the-art arcade filled with SEGA’s latest games, a private gaming vault, and dedicated party spaces. Resident DJs keep the energy high, while visitors can enjoy Archie’s signature diner classics, including burgers, fries, shakes, and more.
Skaters can rent signature Archie’s Atomic skates and glide around the stunning pink rink, while arcade enthusiasts can dive into games like the Men in Black shooter, Storm Rider motorbike simulators, and basketball hoops. The venue takes gaming to the next level with its high-tech gaming vault, accommodating 2-8 players in a spacious games vault where they can choose from a wide variety of competitive games that test speed and agility.
For those craving Archie’s signature eats, the on-site diner serves up all the crowd-favourites, with the full menu of burgers, fries, and signature shakes available to guests. Exclusive to this location, the new Archie’s Ice Cream Parlour lets skaters refuel with treats and shakes at a custom serving window right by the rink, featuring serves such as The Pink Shake, The Ora-liscious, and The Moonwalker.
Designed to welcome guests of all ages, Archie’s Atomic is a go-to destination for family outings, birthdays, date nights, and friend meet-ups. As part of their commitment to inclusivity, the team is planning sensory-friendly sessions during quieter hours, alongside a rotating calendar of special events and themed nights.
Nuno Lopes, Operations Director at Archie’s, commented: “We’re beyond excited to finally open our doors at Archie’s Atomic and welcome everyone in! Our team has put so much passion into creating this unique space, and it’s amazing to see it come to life for our guests.
"We’ve designed Archie’s Atomic to be a one-of-a-kind experience for all ages, and seeing our vision become reality is a dream. We hope Manchester loves it as much as we do!”
