On Sunday afternoon broke in. It wasn't crowded, but still a funny environment. The arcade games come from the 80s and 90s and worked all when we were there. They are free game with the exception of the pin ball machines that require neighborhoods. They do not offer alcoholic drinks as well as cocktails and beer.

If I need a dose of nostalgia, I come here to play all my favorite Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 games. They also have the classics like Dig Dug and Pac Man. Very recommended for date night after dinner at Little Palace. Beverage specialities are scary, and Jaime and Nick will certainly give you good recommendations!

Cute bar, lots of games, all free to play if you get a drink. Drinks are great and have fun names and come with some sweet thing. There got an n64, super Nintendo, and Sega console for play even! I tried the Betty boop, the princess peach, and the Lisa frank and all were delicious! Pictured are the Lisa frank in the back and princess peach in the front.

The cocktails here are not only amusing but also presented in unique glassware. Al, the bartender, was excellent, taking his time to craft our drinks to perfection. We visited during Happy Hour, which meant the games were complimentary—what a great deal! Even if you have to spend a few quarters, 16 Bit is the perfect spot for a quick dose of fun and drinks.

I had a fantastic time playing classic video games with my family and friends. The drinks were cold and delicious! The staff was incredibly gracious and attentive. If you arrive early enough, they even allow gamers under 21 to join in on the fun.
