We stopped in here for my brother’s 21st birthday to grab some drinks and appetizers. Our server was wonderful; she was very friendly and helped us get into the celebrating mood. Most of got a drink and they were fun and pretty tasty. A bit sweet, but I feel like video game bars typically use all the colorful liqueurs and whatnot. The appetizers were good. The Tetris tots were really cute as they come shaped like the Tetris pieces and the nachos were a good size with a variety of toppings. The only downside to the visit were the games. Prices are a bit steep with pinball machines being a dollar a play. Also, some of the machines are coin-eaters. Some of the games are also locked into their private event space when private events are happening (available when there isn’t one). No guitar hero if someone’s having their birthday party. Would I go again? I would revisit if I’m looking for a nice vibe while drinking. Would I pick this bar arcade over, say, any of the Freeplay locations? No, they have better value when it comes to the games. But if you’re deciding whether or not to come here, I would say it’s worth a shot.

From out of town; came with some friends for drinks and dessert on Friday night. Wanted to book a patio table (per their website) but there was no option to do so, only to book the dining room. Arrived a little after 8:30, and by the time we were seated (table had to be cleaned) and put in our drink orders, the server informed us that the kitchen would be closed in ten minutes. We put in our dessert orders when we got the drinks, which was probably another five minutes. My partner's blueberry crumble dessert came out burnt on the edges (also didn't include any ice cream, which was a weird choice). Mine (Biscoff cheesecake) was good. Someone was definitely rushing to get those out. I wish the booking service, Tock, included some notice about the kitchen closing at 9, because I would have booked an earlier time.
The worst part, though, was that it was deafeningly loud inside - not exaggerating, I literally got a loud noise warning on my Apple watch for sound exceeding 90 db - and so it was impossible to hear my partner next to me, let alone our friends across the table. It was actively uncomfortable. My partner, who has tinnitus, had to put in ear plugs, and I would have done so if I had brought them. There was some drag event going on, which I'm sure would have been fun if that's what we went for, but whatever acoustics they have in that back part of the bar/dining toom magnified the sound to the point that it we would have just left if we hadn't already ordered drinks. I'm not sure if we'll come back, but if we do, it will be during off hours, and I'll make sure I bring hearing protection.

Bit Bar is what I wanted my room to look like as a kid, and now it’s what I want my bar to look lime as an adult.

I absolutely love that a bar & arcade exists! I also had a great time on a Sunday watching Magnificent Danger brass band while eating my brunch! Such a fun and energetic easy to start the week.

Great selection of classic arcade machines and pinball tables. Great atmosphere and really good crowd. Drinks were reasonably priced and the servers were helpful and friendly. Great that a 25¢ token costs 25¢ too! We spent 2 hours here just playing pinball and enjoying the drinks and retro surroundings.

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 ?

Fun experience. Recommend trying it. Wasn’t my scene but a cool fun place. Games. Good drinks. Pretty loud inside. Fun if you like video games or pinball!
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).

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!
