Relive your childhood through a variety of videogames. More importantly see if you can get better at those said games with alcohol. Love that the games are play all you want and the beer selection is fantastic. Highly recommend

Love this place! Such a fun concept with the arcade and console games with wide variety of menu options makes this place one of a kind! Bartenders are very friendly and quick with service! Gave food a 5 even though I didn't eat.

It’s ridiculous I’ve been going on dates here for YEARS & now its MANDATORY to purchase a drink before playing a FREE game ?? I wouldn’t recommend this place to a fly .

Hadn't been to the new location yet. Took me back to the arcade at the mall (yup, I'm that old). Played the TMNT game and I warped back in time. Lots of drink selections.

Fun, clean enough, and great staff. Felt welcome and was left alone when we wanted to take in the area. Made our weekend Peoria visit a little nicer. Thank you!

Good lord, for a hidden place the beer selection is phenomenal! Looked up and there was eagle rare, eh taylor and blantons bottles behind the bar.... you will NOT be disappointed with the pour or the price for quality Bourbon. Bartender was awesome! Gotta love the arcade games and then are free

We didn’t try any of the food but the drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the princess peach. The atmosphere was chill. There are a ton of arcade games to play. Lots of childhood favorites! All games are free with a purchase, doesn’t matter what it is. Only game that cost is Skee ball and it’s $1 a game. A total of 5 drinks was under $30. We had a good time and look forward to going back in the future.

Such a cool place. Great pizza and amazing drinks!
A really neat place to have fun! All the video games except Skee Ball are free play. Skee ball is $1 per game and takes singles only - the bartender was able to give us singles for larger bills so we could play. Enjoyed a few throwbacks like Mortal Kombat, Turtles, Golden Tee and NFL Blitz 99 as well. The beer was cold and not expensive, they had a good draft list here too. Bartender was attentive and friendly. Definitely a fun place to hang out and be entertained for an hour or two!

This place has changed a lot since I visited several years ago. It's expanded into a larger room (it's the old Rhodell's) and seems to have likewise expanded its game selection. Seems like there's a game from every era of arcades, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, TMNT, Street Fighter, Rampage, and more. All the games are free as long as you purchase something from the bar. I think it's way more fun than an average bar.
Vegetarian options: Limited primarily to cheese dippers. The "food" menu is pretty limited.
Dietary restrictions: The "food" menu is pretty limited. It is a bar afterall.
Parking: The parking lot is across Waters street.
Kid-friendliness: It's an arcade.
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp to enter, but its made of bricks and way out of the way (to the left of the main entrance). The bar is a bit high, as are the joysticks for the games.

Interesting dive bar vibe in an arcade bar. They had a great beer list with a lot of unique options. Frozen pizza was perfect for midnight snack.

5 Stars! The beer selection is enormous. The games are free. And the bartenders are chill. Thanks 8bit for a fun night in Peoria!

This is one of Peoria's gems. They have amazing beers on tap, amazing staff, and an unbeatable nostalgic atmosphere. It's a bummer that there are usually a few games that aren't working but the majority do and I imagine it takes a lot of maintenance keeping the games running so I'm not
