16-Bit Bar+Arcade

Eat at The Garage Food Hall and then bar hop Mass Ave all the way to here to 16-Bit Bar+Arcade (bar with a slide, free skiball, games, etc). The maple whiskey cocktail is wayyyyyy to sweet; get the cocktail with a slim Jim interest. Overall really fun place for a group. Beware of douchy extreme ping ping players who apparently can push your glass over to break on the floor, and say nothing to you after. Almost all the games are free. There's an outdoor patio area too.

James Moscato was our bartender and he was amazing! So funny and personable. Get him that free t-shirt! Also the vibes here are phenomenal ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came here for the first time with my mother and brother. They card you at the door. Pinball machines and retro arcade games are everywhere. Pinball is $1 and everything else is free. They have a change machine and ATM. The giant slide was fun to go down and the Game Over drink was decent but not very strong. You get to keep the cup as a souvenir. Fire pits are outside and chairs to sit in. Upstairs is another bar and comfortable sofas and some games with the slide access. In the back there are video games. The bar can make any drink you want off the menu since it is a full service bar. The drinks are pricey so I don't recommend coming just for the drinks. No food is served here either that I could see. You can't bring outside beverages. Good luck finding parking. You can use a parking garage nearby. 10/10 would go again. Perfect chill spot.

Great experience. Didn't have any food, but the bartenders were attentive and chill. Good drinks, and the atmosphere was awesome. Like hanging out in your best friend's basement in the '80s. Would definitely recommend.

Cocktails are cool. I had the Carrie Fisher and it was yummy and had rock candy on top. I enjoyed playing all the arcade games. 👾

Very hip and nostalgic arcade. Full bar with happy hour. Good prices. Games are free, 21 and up, which is also nice. There is skee ball, a lounge area with big screen TVs playing old music videos. Good place to play games or chill for the night. They even have a slide! Friendly service.

I had a great time. People in their 40's + would live this place. Just saying
