this bar with the arcade is cool. I like the vintage games a lot. however, these bartenders suck. they don't know how to serve multiple people at a time. there's two events going on tonight so busy. I waited about five to ten minutes for literally just a today refill. and yes two people walked past as I flagged them down.
The only good thing about this bar is the games and even then they aren’t kept up very well. Took us forever to get a drink sat at the bar forever and was ignored.

Everything started out okay. After we ordered our food, Our waitress with pink highlights went missing for 45 minutes. Someone else had to serve us the food then figured out 15 mins later that one of our orders was not put in que even though it was confirmed at the table. She finally came back to collect our checks but automatically served herself a 25% tip without our consent. We all agreed that she didn’t deserve that much let alone decide what our gratuity should be for her. Food was great, service was ?

Decent experience. The food and drinks were great. I recommend the loaded Tetris tots and Beetlejuice cocktail. The service was great. Atmosphere not so much. Very loud and situated in an arcade. We got seated on weird high table tables. They tried to glue people near us (as if we are a group of 4).

This place was amazing! hits all the nostalgia you are looking for! Great food!
Regular place with average arcade games. Not to take away from the offerings, but they don't scratch the nostalgia itch particularly.

Being a child of the 90s, this place was awesome. Great food and drink selection. We got the wings, which are smoked not fried. I’m a big fan of smoked food so that right up my ally, and it wasn’t greasy. The games brought such a nostalgic feeling. Service was good considering how busy it is in October (people don’t give enough credit where it’s due!) Will definitely be going back!

Interesting place for sure. This place is filled jam packed with games, cool games at that, pinball, Pac-Man, and more. The coolest things about their games here is that they are legit original BA games. None of the nonsense produced today instead it’s real quality games and quality pinball machines. Good place for kids and adults. They do not have bloody Mary’s here witch is kind of a bummer but oh well, the nachos were good.
the food is amazing, the service was amazing, and the arcade machines were phenomenal, 10/10

You don’t have to wait to be seated if you just want to play games and get drinks at the bar. The games are cheap and fun! I got blackened salmon that was hell good. My friends got the tater tots which were in fun shapes. Pretty drinks that were tasty. Good service. Self serve water. They also become 21+ later at night

This is our second time eating at the bit bar, and once again it was delish. Really love the tetras shaped tots. We got the tenders. A little on the small side and the sauce came on the side. But, I was very thankful because we got the honey Chipotle Buffalo and it was SPICY. Nachos were perfect portion, small size for 2 of us worked wonderfully. We'll definitely go ago.

From start to finish, this place was a complete nightmare. It all began shortly after I arrived, when I had to use the restroom. On my way back to the table, I stepped in a pile of vomit—yes, actual vomit. I was disgusted and asked a staff member for some water to clean off my shoe. Instead of helping, I was directed to a “water station around the corner” like I was at some kind of self-serve buffet.
Things didn’t improve once I sat down. I ordered chicken quesadillas, clearly advertised on the menu as being made with flour tortillas. What arrived? Corn tortillas. It wasn’t a special request or a misunderstanding; they just got it completely wrong. When I pointed out the issue, my server, Barbara, brushed it off like it was no big deal, showing zero interest in correcting the order.
And then there was the guacamole fiasco. I paid an extra four dollars for it, but it never made it to the table. When I mentioned this to Barbara, she offered to bring it out, but by that point, the meal was already ruined and inedible. When I asked if she could remove the charge, she complained that it would take forever to find a manager and that getting the guacamole taken off the bill would be a hassle. Her attitude suggested I was inconveniencing her by expecting basic service.
Between the vomit, the wrong order, and the dismissive attitude from the staff, I honestly can’t say what was worse. If you’re looking for a decent dining experience, or just a clean restaurant, avoid this place entirely. As for the arcade section, I can’t comment—I didn’t stick around long enough to check it out.
