Mikhail Hotel & Leisure Group (MHALG) has revealed plans to open Europe’s largest retro and futuristic arcade in Liverpool. 

The pioneering Group led by chairman and trailblazer Andrew Mikhail is the innovative company and major force behind the current transformation of Cain’s’ Brewery Village. ArCains arcade will house all old original games and virtual reality within a wholly dedicated floor as part of the ongoing redevelopment of the famous Cain’s site in the Baltic Triangle.

And it’s yet another example of MHALG and Mikhail’s own passionate vision as a Liverpudlian bringing back to life old buildings and creating a burgeoning leisure experience for both the city’s community and the forever flourishing tourism market in Liverpool.

Mr. Mikhail said: “Our planned £3m investment in the state of the art ArCains is part of our wider £7m plans for the strategic regeneration of Cain’s. Situated in the vicinity of Liverpool’s dynamic tech world, we believe that ArCains enhances the sector offer with more than 100 jobs being created on the back of our plans.


“Not only will the stunning arcade development offer the biggest selection of arcade games anywhere in Europe but our partners, alongside many stakeholders in the area, believe ArCains will be a significant addition to the Baltic creative offering that already exists. As one local commentator put it when they heard about our plans, we’re literally “transforming an old building lying disused in mounds of dust into one of the area and Liverpool’s biggest leisure attractions.”

“ArCains’ features will also offer the ultimate all-day family experience with expansive pinball areas, retro arcades with a huge selection of games from the 1970’s right through to today’s 2019 best of collection, a complete floor dedicated to VR, along with pool tables, basketball, shuffle tables and much more. Plus, we believe this is the first experience of its kind in the industry enabling between 10 and 100 people to simultaneously participate as one booking!”

How exciting – when we have more info we’ll let you know!
