BitBar is my favorite place to hang out after work or on the weekends! It's easy to drive right by it though. Go into the parking lot for Dynasty restaurant and look to the right. The atmosphere is chill and drinks are priced well. They have the usual bar food: nachos, fried mozzarella sticks, etc. You'll pay $5 to get in but all the games are set to free-play. Heads-up: all ages are allowed in until 9pm so this is also family-friendly . . . at least until 9pm! lol They have events throughout the week like
Great place to chill and play games. My wife and I join game night every Tuesday and have a great time!
Love hanging here with my kids. One got into the DND meet-up on Wednesdays 6pm-9pm, the other loves the car meets every Thursday 6pm-9pm, and I want to try their Karaoke night Sundays 7pm-12am!. They have daily drink specials and some food. They offer a discount to eat at dynasty next door too! Games on free play so no worry about tokens or quarters!
Definitely a 10/10 experience. love the atmosphere and the incredible staff! easy to talk to and joke around with. they treat everyone like family highly recommend
Very clean and friendly, although several games were out of order, we still had a nice time. We did not try the food during this visit. There were arcade games, reto Nintendo and Saga games, multiple board games available, snd an outside patio with some popular outdoor games. We will definitely go again.
Had my son?s 11th birthday party here. Matthew was super helpful with prepping us for the party on what to expect and what options we had. Him and his team were super helpful before, during, and after the party. They were auper patient with all of the kiddos running around, keeping popcorn coming and cleaning up the messes that kids inevitably made throughout the party. The venue itself was perfect for us since we had a toddler and 2 children with special needs in attendance. It's basically one big room so
Verry friendly staff / owners, love the vintage video games and karaoke all you want for $5. Drink prices aren't bad for the cheap entry fee ! This isn't a new generation pasture bon fire yall !!
Bartender is very bias. They eavesdrop on conversations and kick you out for even speaking one one "wrong" thing but let's another off the hook. Would not recommend coming here. Please find another good drinking spot.
Cool people, they have family night, so you can bring the kids. Also it directly behind Dynasty, which is also a good place to eat.
The guy at the front door was so nice! 1st time there & Johnny is an awesome guy who takes care of everyone! Thanks again!
All kinds of retro arcade games to play! Outdoor area for corn hole and giant jenga. Bar drinks and snacks available. Friendly bar staff and neat place to play and hangout.
Great drink, had a Spyro that wasn't purple. But why did I have to pay $5 to get in when it's dive bar passing?
Best place to play games and drink. Awesome retro arcade games, board games. Highly recommend if you want to be entertained. There are family hours also as well as adult only hours.
$5 at the door gets you all arcade games free. Awesome party atmosphere. Excellent place to meet up with friends!
Had a private party here. It was great!!!
Was just traveling through and decided to stop for the night, came here for a couple drinks and was NOT disappointed. The bartender Rhi was fantastic and knew her stuff, best long island I've ever had. The retro game machines also sent me down a memory lane bender I didn't anticipate. Would gladly make the effort to come back.
Step into the Bit Bar and prepare to be transported to a realm of retro gaming wonder! The interior is a vibrant homage to the golden age of arcades, pulsating with neon lights and nostalgic charm. The video arcade is a mesmerizing playground of classic games, a symphony of beeps and boops that will awaken your inner gamer. But what truly sets Bit Bar apart is its impeccable service. The staff are not just servers; they are purveyors of joy, ensuring every patron has an unforgettable experience. And behind
This place is a really cool place to hang out. If you get a chance to come out, Harley makes the best drinks!
Kind of tucked away behind the restaurant. The place is a lot of fun to have some old video games. A lot of them have something broken with them but I guess they're old. The drinks were really good. I didn't try any of the food. Lots of games on the wall. Have lots of fun. Great atmosphere.
Was looking for an arcade and found something better! Great customer service from everyone, they were nice, helpful, and fun even on a crazy night with Comic Con going on today. Drinks tastes great, Nachos were decent, and it was filled with things to do, from arcades, to board games, a tv with movies played, and more! Great vibes, great place!
Went here for a private function. Great staff to work with and great place to hang out
So a small bar behind dynasty restaurant. Classic arcade games, with a small bar. We enjoyed the one set of cornhole, Pac-Man, & Mario cart. Unfortunately about 5 games out of order. Not enough classic arcade games. No promotion, Galaga, joust. No pinball. Mario cart versus did not seem to work, the game worked but only single player. The outside area was nice, but they could put washers, or more cornhole, or pinball out there. It is covered. Staff was friendly, about half full in a Friday, peop
Awesome place, awesome staff, family friendly... community oriented!!! Our family appreciated all the events Johnny participates in, so big thanks!!!
This place is my partner and I?s new hangout spot. The atmosphere is cool and there are lots of activities both indoor and outdoor. Harley is awesome and Robert provides great service as well. I definitely recommend you check this place out if you haven't already. There is a cover charge, but it's well worth it. Also, ladies get in free on Wednesdays which is pretty cool.
The best joint to chill at.Im not going any where else.
I used to be a long time customer up here at Bitbar. Since then I've been coming up off and on to have a couple drinks here and there. I love the service, but I just left the patio to get a refill and the inside area completely reeks of weed smell. I'm pretty sure this is against TABC to allow these people entry (not completely sure of the law) and decided against getting a refill and left. This used to be a really good place to be, but now it seems like every time I come up here it just constantly reeks of
Fun place to hang out with friends and get some games in!
Awesome place to hangout with good music, decent drinks and snacks. Especially since cover is low for free games too. Outside area is awesome. Would be 5 stars but a bartender was brushing and straightening her hair at the bar right by the food and left her brush on the counter.
This place is amazing i definitely would recommend this place for a nice chill spot to play games and enjoy your self everything is fair priced also.
Absolutely fantastic place to hang out, especially if you are a lifelong nerd like me.. They have everything from 90's arcades to giant connect 4 to the actual jumanji board game. Staff is amazing and always friendly. The drinks are very well made.. My personal favorite is the liquid marijuana..
Bitbar has done nothing but get better and better as time goes on. Huge shout out to Harley who has completely changed the vibe of this place since she started. Much more welcoming, a lot more upbeat. And a hell of a lot more fun. The bar is definitely lucky to her on the bar.
Always have such a great time here. The atmosphere is awesome, the retro games really bring you back!!! All the games you could imagine!!! Full bar for those that want to unwind. Several board games, corn hole, oversized connect four and jenga!!!! Even a ps5!!!!!
It's fun to play *unlimited* video games there! It's more of a dive bar feel than a secret hidden cool spot, but they have a fun selection of old 90?s video games. They even have a mini fooseball for basketball. Decent beer selection, nothing to write home about.
Ordered a margarita that tasted horrible and took one sip and felt sick and asked nicely asked if maybe I could get a different one. Was met with a rude female bartender in green makeup who said twice ?uhmm no I can take it and you can pay for another one?. And didn't decide to work with me at all
Had a great time at BitBar! They had a nice selection of games to play.
Great people and place to have fun.
Very fun and laid back environment! The bartender is extremely nice and makes amazing drinks! Definitely recommend if you want to go out with your friends
Visit here during Bell County Comic Con if you wanna run into the "celebrities" after the show! I know, I was here! What an amazing staff and awesome time we had. Plenty of games to satisfy your old school game binges! We'll be back next year, hopefully and we WILL see you there after the gig!
Got some surprisingly great crafted drinks! The games are awesome and an amazing throwback! And the food tastes homemade! The chicken sandwich looked depressing but it had a surprising personality!
Family hours 6pm to 9pm. Open until 1 am.
Great retro old-school arcade feel. Creative drinks with the video game theme. All games are free to play. Fun for gatherings. A very chill spot!
Wonderful place!!! Friendly and fun!
Cute bar with retro games. Loved playing house of the head with my boyfriend. Great place for a date night to hangout playing games.
I love the (Old-school) Classic Arcade games that I played back in the day! The place is clean,games are wiped down, several Games to choose from, a Bar & non-alcoholic beverages.Good customer service and (very nice) place to take the Family/to compete one on one from a "Old School" angle??
It's a great hang out place from games, to drinks, and people. I loved my experience and the guest that appear here! Can't wait to see what's to come in the future for this lovely place of character!
Great collection of games. Good atmosphere. Food is simple, but filling. Definitely worth spending a night playing video games. Good assortment of physical games in the courtyard. Prices are fair (entry, food, drinks).
This is an amazing bar with superb customer service. Thanks to Harley Quinn and Poison IVvy for making making my night out a success. I will definitely be back again.
I like the Temple bitbar better than Killeen bitbar... The atmosphere is much better in my opinion and they have a great buffet next door!
Absolutely superb. Great environment, music, drinks, and old arcade games!! Only dissappointment is that they don't have ice cream so I couldn't get an ice cream float but not in their power so 5 stars it is!!
This was our first time here and the bartender made us feel welcome. On top of the great service, her drinks were amazing!
Very nice spot, staff is friendly, and got some classic arcade games! Clean and great drinks! Could use some sports games but i had fun and will be going back!
BitBar is a great place to grab a drink, listen to some music and relive some nostalgic gaming experiences. They also have fun promo nights and celebrity meet and greets every so often!
$5 dollar cover for a dead bar...we wanted to game...you lost good money for a $5 cover charge. Even on dirty 6th cover charges are rare. Bitbar, get a grip you are behind a Chinese buffet! You should be free to enter!
Harley the bartender was awesome. She memorized my name and order super quick and was very knowledgeable of the slots and other games in the bar
Really happy with the new updates! Great environment happy to say I will be a regular!
I was highly disappointed, I paid $15.00 to walk in and walk out, they have fifteen arcade games and nothing to do. Compared to a real arcade place, I would have to say this is a bar with twenty table with only 5 food items to order and I just will never go back ever again. 4.8 stars is misleading.
This is a great bar if you are looking for something different. The bartender, Harley, makes great drinks and is very personable!
So many games to choose from Super fun spot to have a good drink with a great atmosphere. Definitely would recommend Bitbar to anyone whos looking to have a great time!!!!
Awesome little bar with free arcade games!
This place is really fun. $5 cover, play all the arcade games for free. I definitely recommend it.
It was a nice friendly atmosphere. The staff was attentive and professional. The free arcade games was wonderful. I recommend trying this place.
Love the vibe and all the staff especially drew and Harley! honestly a solid play to send a couple hours for a night with a couple drinking buddies
Can get a bit slow and boring. The games are fun but it's always $5 or more cover even if ther else nothing going on. Good staple but needs more traffic.
Best bar to have a drink and play old school video games in! So super chill and relaxing! Such an amazing atmospere.
Drinks are great Food is great for a bar. And affordable. Games are good. I come for the D&D
Wonderful atmosphere! Wonderful bartenders! We had so much fun.
A great place to meet your friends play games and just hang out. They have a good selection of drinks and fun.
Awesome Place to have a Brithday party lady behind the bar was very friendly had a very beautiful smile thank you so very much
Hanging out was great, one price play all the games, good family atmosphere. Would definitely recommend
Really chill place to get a drink and play arcade games, cornhole, board games and watch a movie. Took one star off because a couple of the arcade games had issues.
Turned away at the entrance by an overzealous doorman. Saved a few bucks and I went to a actual good bar
This place is the best! Good place to hang out and enjoy some classic arcade games with friends.
Such a awesome place they have all the classic arcades . Great service and wonderful staff . Check it out !!
Slow bartenders,half of the games were broken,wouldn't let my sister play ms.pacman at 1:58 am when they close at 2:00am........ wasn't a fun experience.
Great 1st night to end. Excited to see what this place has going on a few months from now when it's not as new. Overall, great spot to end the night

Smokers bar, disgusting and uncomfortable atmosphere. Nice bar staff though.
Harley is good service definitely recommend to come out here for a good time
Amazing scenery, games are fun, Harley makes amazing drink
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
