Date of assessment: 24. July 2016 Beer, arcade games and friends. My place. I grew up playing video games, thanks to my father and friend. Everything from Atari to Sega Genesis to Super Nintendo to Gameboy; everything in between and after. After I was allowed to enjoy adult drinks, I grew to enjoy beer a few years later. Shortly afterwards, 8 bits opened. After having a lifelong love for video games and a recently acquired taste for beer, I collected some of my nerdy friends up and drove so. (8) Bit is a quite unique place. It is a bar that is also an arcade. It looks like a normal business at the end of a building, but inside is another story. When you go, you get the feeling you're in a ho...
It's a pretty cool place. I love the games, wish they had Jim Beam behind the bar the night we went. The bartender was attentive, the pizza was pretty good. We found roaches outside the bar which was concerning but we don't know where they came from. I believe this place would thrive more if they had a more open space rather than the cramped area that is their bar. It was cool tho, might go back.
A real jewel. One of the coolest places to hang and a drink in downtown Peoria. Ideal for playing arcade games, but even better if you are a fan of craft beer. Great rotating options available on tap and a killer line up of cans and bottles. Make yourself a favor and check this place when you find yourself in the area.
There was only one girl working the bar tonight, but the service was fast. She was really friendly! I recommend going here. They had a wide selection of arcade games. Even 3 player games! I played a Buck Shooter game, Burger Time, Ultimate Mortal Combat, Pac-Man, and a couple others. If you have time, make the stop! Book a table now
As usual, the place was busy on a Saturday, but the courtesy bar alert could keep on itself while excellent service. The beverage selection is amazing and if you find nothing to drink, it means that you don't read the menu enough.
It was my first time visiting since I was passing through Peoria. I wish there was more parking for the businesses in that area. 8 Bit has a great variety of games in different sections. They also offer a large variety of beer.
Big broth, fun environment and great vintage video games! Have fun classics here! Make sure you have your ID as it is strict 21 and the games are free when you grab a drink!
Quite a few of the games weren't working, but it was still fun to have a few drinks and enjoy some games from growing up. Book a table now
Cool retro arcade, you buy a drink and play video games for free. Great concept. Somewhat geared toward an older crowd.
