Had to edit my review, as now that I have a baby I am no longer welcome here. Rudely turned away at the door when it was 20° outside. We were meeting a large group of work friends who already had a large table, all we wanted to do was park his carrier next to the table and have a few drinks. We came in for a minute anyway to let our group know we couldn't join them, the manager yelled at us for blocking the entryway. This was at 430 and the bar was not busy yet. He then hovered over us as my wife explained to our friends that we had to go.
We took our business to North High Brewing where the owner congratulated us on our new son and had no issue with a baby at his bar.response / report this review -

One of my all time favorite hangouts. Awesome staff, free arcade games and 50 cents pinball! Plus fun drinks and one of the longest craft beer lists in town if you don’t mind a can. 10000/10.

Great place to geek out with friends and have some drinks! Games are free to play if you buy a drink (I dont think they really keep track though). They have some a big collection of old school classics. Some great classics like asteroids, gauntlet, terminator, paper boy, and tons more. This is a good hangout for the guys and gals. I brought my girlfriend here and she had a good time, she is not a hardcore gamer but the nostalgic feel of the full size arcade games makes it fun for anyone. Their drink menu is creative and has some tasty stuff! I highly recommend the slushi drinks and their house favorite the "hulk hogan". If I was closer in location I would probably come here a couple times a month. Overall a great experience, fun and friendly atmosphere and a must try for a video game fan.

Good beer selection, cool environment, great location. My only complaint is how tight it gets when it starts to get a little busy. The main draw (for me) are the classic arcade games that virtually become inaccessible when it starts to fill up. If you have a friend that wants to watch while you jam out some Turtles in Time, you will constantly feel like you're in the way, mostly because you are. Also makes you feel like a silly person standing in the middle of everything if you want to hang near a specific machine while you wait your turn. Will probably go back and check it out again, perhaps on a less busy night.

Stopped in shortly after opening while we were in town for a wedding. Great game selection, and drink prices were very reasonable. A good place to spend a few weekend afternoon hours and kill some time.

Great games to remind you of your past, or find a new favorite!
Lots of terrific theme drinks to choose from, including non-alcoholic specialties.
Every third Sunday, they allow you to bring your 'shorty' (child) in to enjoy the games with you!response / report this review -

I absolutely love this place. The games are free, the drink selection is broad, and it's friendly with its neighbors, meaning you can get food from a neighboring restaurant and bring it in. It does get very crowded on weekends, and very hot. For me, it's always a fun time. I just can't be miserable here.

One of my favorite places to hang out in Columbus. Fantastic drink selection and wonderful staff. The games are fun but I go for the Street Fighter tournament on Monday nights. Outside food is allowed and there is an outdoor patio. It's a relatively small place but plenty of fun to be had!

Although this was NOT a singles bar as I had expected (or perhaps it was just a slow night for them), the arcade and bar were top notch. The servers were dressed attractively in attire appropriate for the setting. They were friendly, hard-working and knew their stuff.
My server was Andrea I believe. Her service was warm and inviting. My mixed drink slushie was worth more than just $6. She treated me as a patron so well that I gave her a $5 tip.
The games had me excited at each round! I do not believe I have been to a real arcade, or at least for a very long time. There is quite a variety here and great two-player games.
My visit here was the perfect way to end my Tuesday. No regrets for the night.response / report this review -

A unique find for the retro game aficionado. Also, you can play group games on old N64s with a projector.
Great beers and cocktails.response / report this review -

This is one of those places that my friends and I tend to end up almost by default. Whether it's the sole destination or the ultimate one, this place is just too fun not to hit up regularly.
There are a lot of great reasons to love this place. There is never a cover. They have a wide array of games to play, and they're all free. The games are mostly all really good, too---that is the deal breaker for any arcade bar. The games are free, so you can play to your heart's content and actually see the end of some of these long time quartervores. Even with the games being free, there tends to be quick enough turnover that you'll get to play anything you have your eye set on. Plus, they've usually got some classic consoles up and running too.
If that wasn't reason enough, the bar scene here is excellent. The staff have all been super chill and fun, and this is the kind of place where you can order a classic cocktail of any sort and trust that it will be well-made. Their snazzy house cocktail menu is fun too, with their signature "Hulk Hogan" (served with a bomb pop submerged in it) is a show-stealer. In addition to all that, there is a solid selection of tap beer. They don't serve food, but you can bring whatever you like to the tables to eat and hang out. With Late Night Slice next door, it's a match.
All in all this place skyrocketed to the top of my list of favorite places to go out in Columbus. Press start and join the game!response / report this review -

This place is dope. Fun to have a few beers and play some classic arcade games! We definitely had a blast and I'll most certainly be back.

This place is awesome. The drink selections are fun and unique to 16-Bit. The game selection is fantastic and all free to play. Also, the best thing is probably the people. People are friendly and courteous, when the N64 frees up we all learned to share and new friends are always made.
