Kiwis in need of a late 70's nostalgia trip will be psyched to learn that a circus-themed arcade bar, Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, has officially opened its doors in Newmarket, Auckland.

The Australian company Funlab, which is behind Auckland's mini-golf bar Holey Moley, decided to bring an all-immersive hub of "kidult" fun to Aucklanders.

Incredible photos show that Kiwis will be able to step back in time and enjoy the stunning decorations including a tricked-up cocktail bar, built to resemble a vintage carousel.

Once customers have worked up an appetite, they can head to the American-style diner to indulge in colourful burgers, hotdogs, loaded fries and more.

And the company believes no night out would be complete without one of the bar's extravagant, "Instagrammable" cocktails.

Archie Brothers Cirque Electriq, which is described by the company as "Glastonbury meets Cirque du Soleil", is now open to the public and is located Level 3, Westfield Newmarket.
