This bar is a total vibe. The mixed drinks were good and there are old school games in every nook and cranny! It is a bar, so we didn’t go expecting Michelin Stars food service, however, the bites we had were not that bad.

Me and my fiancée visited Fort Lauderdale with our friends, they recommended we try going to Glitch. We had a wonderful time and great experience here, it is decorated with all sorts of game and movie references. The bartender we had was a little short with us but no biggie. The bar portion is completely available to sit at, you don’t have to play games to enjoy Glitch. It only costed an additional $7-8 to go into the arcade portion, then you are free to play any game, no coins or tokens. There is also switches in the back to play Mario kart! Would definitely come back! 10/10

Nice little bar with bunch of games and variety of drinks.They do serve non alcoholic as well.Entry is $7. Unless you buy the drink, the entry is free.I enjoyed this place a lot with friends. I would go again. Parking is limited. You have to park across the parking lot.

Amazingly decorated bar, your eyes cannot get enough of the quirky, neon but beautiful gaming decorations all around the bar. Buy one drink and play any game you want as many times as you want. That’s a deal!

This place rocks. We came for the first time a few days ago and loved it. Then I found out it is family friendly until 8 pm, so 2 days later came back w my youngest son and already planning to come again with my oldest. Love all the machines, the drinks are fantastic (they also have standard cocktails), and we tried 2 sandwiches, the Italian Grinder and the Rambo, and they were amazing. I wish I lived closer, Id be here all weekend, every weekend! *please note, it is very expensive to drink here, and if you expect ice in your cocktail, they will charge an additional $2. This is for regular ice, not the big fancy cube for Whiskey. This is on top of the service charge and tax, and you would still tip separately. They will also charge you for tap water. I wasnt previously aware of all the nickle and diming here, so I will definitely take that into consideration going forward when choosing a venue. There are other bars nearby more fairly priced that you can drink at before or after coming here.

I have been coming here for a year, at least once a month. I love the atmosphere, all the bartenders are nice and make great drinks! My favorite is John Wick. They have special themed events every now and then, so the music matches whatever the theme is. If youre an 80s or 90s kid that used to play Atari or Nintendo 64, youll love this place!

We just left Glitch Bar and we had so much fun!!! This place has it all… top-tier drinks (I had a Weekend at Bernie’s, Arrakis Spice, and John Wick and they were ALL delicious craft drinks, not cheap basement bar drinks), delicious food (we split an Italian Grinder and it was literally the best Italian sandwich we’ve ever had), and unlimited free arcade games!!! As a woman on a date with my Honey, it was great to see so many other women there having fun!! The retro vibes were immaculate and the staff were so so friendly!! Jason took such good care of us… We will be back!!!! We loved this place so much. 💗💗💗

This is definitely a fun place! Buy one drink ($10 or so) and you get a band to play unlimited games. The bar food is good and reasonably priced and the cocktails are fruity with fun names. Staff is friendly and service is pretty prompt considering how busy it can get. Advice - get there a little early to have more time playing the machines you want. Parking most across the street in the paid lot. Overall a place I will definitely be at again!

The inside is amazing! Its worth it to look at every little piece of art, there are some cool surprises. Huge selection of craft beer. Cocktails are tasty, and prices are good. Free play on the cabinets in exchange for a drink or $7 would keep me coming all the time if I lived nearby.

This place is amazing. I have traveled for multiple indie arcade game tournaments. Love KQ, Galactic Battleground, Nidhogg II, DeathBall, and so many more. This place has them all. Pay less than $10 to play all day or buy a drink. If you love arcades you need to check this place out.

Review №13

Awesome atmosphere! Beer selection is great and great deal with free gaming (except pinball) with a beer purchase. Games are well maintained and great selection. I understand paying more for pinball but my suggestion is to have a game or two in free play to encourage new players to pay for the others. Saw many wanted to play the games then gave up when they saw they needed to pay extra. Give them a taste!

Really fun bar. Just order one drink and you get a wristband with access the the arcade. The cocktails are great and they have a good beer selection. Arcade machines are well maintained and kept clean. Fun lighting and art/posters everywhere. This is a fun spot.

The experience at Glitch starts from the outside. A cool display of vibrant mural s activate the facades of the building from which the indoor activity sprawl out beneath the stringed lights.You can have access to the game room, by1. Buying a drink2. Buying the wristbands.I strongly recommend option 1, they make a great Long Island.Trust that you’ll have a great soundtrack to create a memorable night. There is quite a nice variety of gaming option, there’s bound to be something for everyone. There’s something quite nostalgic about playing the retro games. It feels like being part of a modern past. The place is buzzing with glee, cheers and cries from the playing crowd, while the music is playing. Yes there is a space for those who empowered by either the music or their drinks who want to dance.The ambiance is wonderful for date nights, or night out with friends. It’s a great place to reconcile your inner child and functioning adult. Parking is also available on site or at the surface parking lot across the street.Go and have a great time. You deserve it. This is quite a little gem to behold.

This is the best place ever. Usually no cover if you buy a drink and open late with lots of fun old machines to play, and usually a pretty good DJ. I love when they play 80s music and emo throwbacks. This makes it the best spot for hanging with a group of friends for hours without having to plan for an entire night out. The bathrooms are also so fun to take photos in. Love this place and will always recommend it.

I wish there was more places like this, a very cool bar with more then just snacks. Great sandwiches and chips, full bar menu, plenty of beer options. You can pay a cover or get a drink and your good to go, pinball is a dollar. There’s a ranking system you can log into with a tv we’re they list the scores to make it competitive, there’s skeeball, Mario cart. Get there early cause again, it gets crowded. Amazing atmosphere, a blast of nostalgia for sure. DJ comes and starts playing music, I need one of these in my hometown.

Review №23

Cool arcade bar I would say actually better and nicer atmosphere than even the ones up in Orlando where I moved up to from Sunrise, but really have to wonder: do any single women ever actually go here? It seems like any time Ive gone it is literally all couples or people on a date with someone. Would be awesome if they did a like nerd nite here specifically for singles or something, maybe on an otherwise slow night like wednesdays?

First time here and I cant wait to come back! Such a cool concept of a place. Get a drink and you get admission to the classic arcade games room. So much fun!! Drink Prices are very fair too. Theres a secret room in the back with 6 pinball machines, but you need an access code. Dm me if you want the code to get the room.

Dont come here for the food, but the drinks are enjoyable. I had the sonic cocktail and it was pretty good, slightly sweet but enjoyable. For a basic cocktail of vodka and coke is reasonably priced. The vibe here is awesome but when it gets busy, it impossible to play any games. So be mindful of that.

Review №28

A Varied Craft Beer Haven, but Mixed Pet-Friendly VibesI recently visited Glitch Bar, located just steps away from my apartment, and Id like to share my experience. The bar caught my attention as it was nestled amidst a small marketplace where local vendors showcased their products to passersby. On a scorching day, I suggested to my wife that we find a refreshing drink, and thats when we stumbled upon Glitch Bar.Without hesitation, I ventured inside and purchased two Orange Blossom beers, which were delightful. We continued exploring the market, and upon concluding our shopping, we decided to return to the bar. As soon as we entered, the bartender kindly offered water for our little poodle. However, another employee at the bar promptly told me to take the dog outside, fearing a mess with the water. I was taken aback. What initially seemed like a family-friendly establishment suddenly felt weird.In fact, one of the other patrons remarked, How odd! One of them offers water for your dog, while the other insists on taking it outside. Anyway, we proceeded to enjoy a few more beers, and I must admit that their selection is impressive. I genuinely like the place, but the incident with my furry companion prevents me from awarding it 5 stars. My rule of thumb is that if they dont welcome my dog, they dont welcome me.However, I would like to give Glitch Bar another chance in the future because Im genuinely interested in trying their food offerings. Despite the pet incident, I believe their diverse craft beer selection and potential culinary delights warrant a return visit.

Unbelievable absolutely unbelievable that this place exists!It’s like a Time Machine. All toys hanging on the walls super Nintendo games behind glass and old video games like streetfighter you get to play as much as you want for free. I really can’t believe this place has been here almost 7 years and I didn’t even know about it. I live right around the corner. I’m so glad to know what I’m gonna tell everybody .

The atmosphere is definitely a 10/10!!! When you buy a drink you automatically have access to all games. If you don’t drink… just pay $7 for a wristband and you too will have all access to games. $10 cover for anyone under 21 and no one under 21 allowed after 8pm. The aesthetic is prominent in this place as there’s ALWAYS something to look at. Neon and black lights to resemble a real deal arcade vibe.

Really neat place to check out! The games are all unlocked (free admission into the game area with purchase of a drink). They have all the arcade classics, staff was very friendly, and the food was quite good. Average drink prices.I visited this bar while on vacation, otherwise I would be coming back more regularly

Fun late night hangout! Simple concept, amazing execution. Walk in, buy a drink, get a wristband that allows you to play unlimited games. The back area is littered with arcade classics and some new additions, while the bar area has an amazing drink selection and a pretty solid old-fashioned for a bar-cade. Did not try the food this go around, but will definitely be returning to experience more of this nostalgic and late night vibe.

Review №39

This is a cool spot to hang with friends or maybe a 2nd or 3rd date. We went on a Saturday night at about 930 p.m., and it was packed. A wide variety of games that you can play with the purchase of a drink or $7 wristband. If youre into games, then you can hang out by the bar area and grab some food.Paid parking lot across the street if the one in front is full. You can use an app to pay. Theres a dj and also a backroom that has $1 pinball machines. The floor was noticeably sticky, and it would be great to have some hand sanitizer stations throughout since its a very high touch venue. This bar had great aesthetics as well and would go again at a different time where there are fewer people.

Good vibes and a great selection of games both modern and retro. Easy to get service from the bar with a good selection of menu items. Need more beer options though. The building itself was a bit cramped and bathrooms are small and kind of disgusting but that is to be expected when drinking is involved. Overall a pretty good time but I would recommend to bring a friend so you can enjoy the games better!

I am a huge fine of dive bars. And this spot kinda gave me those vibes! Wow what an experience coming here!! I highly recommend coming out to this spot.They have sitting along the wall of the building with picnic tables to sit and vibe outside and you can take your beer out. Once inside they have three different menus on a TV with a ton of beer options!! I highly recommend the guava cider and the apple pie cider, omg there both delicious. I had three beers and spent 25. The bartender was so amazing!!!! Like amazing service for sure! And my other girl friend tried different beers that he recommended and he nailed them all! So good. Once you buy one drink you get given a wrist band to play the arcade games. They also serve food but I didnt have any. There are a ton of different options and new stuff and old school arcades. They also have Mario Cart and super smash. The music was great not sure if they play rock and roll all the time but when I was there thats what they were playing and I wasnt mad about that lol.Really great to kill some time, try new beers and play some arcade games. Definitely coming back for sure!!!

Id say this is a really cute place to go on a date or to kick it with friends. They have an extensive beer collection, lots of space, and a DJ booth.. they were playing music and videos from the 80s when I was there, which was really cool and went along with the retro theme. My favorite part was their attention to detail when it came to the decor. There was one team member in particular, I forgot her name but she has a short, asymmetrical bob and her face was beat - she made sure we were doing alright all night, but not in a pushy or annoying way, and we even had a casual conversation outside that felt pretty genuine (thanks for being real, girl!) Good luck yall.

Review №52

Right off the bat the atmosphere is amazing. One of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to and you get unlimited play time on the games if you buy a drink. We got the cheese sticks and mini tacos. Idk what I expected but probably just don’t eat there is my best advice but I can’t hold the gross food against them, it’s clearly not a place for getting a bite to eat. We had two bar tenders. The first was a skinny girl with blondeish hair. Idk if we caught her on a bad day or what but she genuinely gave me the impression that the only thing that would make her happier than if we left would be if we left to go jump off the nearest bridge. Very much did not want to be talking to us and wasn’t afraid to hide that. Her saving grace is she made probably the best drink I’ve ever had (Cherry Bomb). Our second tender was a dude with a beard and he was great, very personable.

Review №56

I really love visiting Glitch. The ambiance and music and arcade cabinets make this place a great hang out spot whether youre just kicking it with the boys or youre on a date with a lady. The music is loud enough to get the patrons jamming but not loud enough to discourage conversation.You get access to all games with a wristband that you get by purchasing it for $7 or by buying the drink that you most likely were going to buy anyways. The signature drinks are better than I expected (I tried a half dozen of them after several visits) and they have a nearly overwhelming selection or beer/seltzer. The signature drinks are priced reasonably but I feel that the craft beers are a bit overpriced. $8 or $9 for a single beer is pushing it in my opinion.The selection of games is fantastic because theres several new experiences like Killer Queen and old school favorites like TMNT. The only problem is that several arcade cabinets have problems with the control stick and buttons. This can be fixed but I guess many guests dont report that the games need any attention or maintenance.Overall, its still a great place and can draw quite a crowd depending on the time and day of the week.

Use to be the spot before it blew up.Now you can barely get to any of the games. Especially Mario kart. There should be time limits or someone going around making sure everyone gets a chance to play. I know it’s not the staffs fault but it’s really annoying to have to wait for entitled people to move out of the way or share a game to let others take a turn. I said something to the group, but they just looked at me like I was an alien with two heads

I have been to this venue a handful of times and I love it. First arcade style venue for adults. Free unlimited play with purchase of drink or you can pay $7 for a wristband. Tons of old school games like PAC man, street fighter, Mortal Kombat, quite a few to choose from. Drinks are good and reasonably priced. Crowd is very diverse, never any drama when I go. The music is probably the only thing I don’t like much, it is a lot of alternative but after drinking and playing, you kinda forget that it’s playing. Bar staff and security have been nice and always with a smile. They do serve bar food but I believe it’s store bought/packaged and they heat up. I’ve only had mozzarella sticks there and they were good. My last visit, I found out under 21 are invited to play before 8pm and for a $10.

Fun blast from the past. Great music. Good selection of beer. The food is limited to sandwiches but they are prepared well. The only criticism we constantly have here is the lack of wine. They carry wine but always seem to be out of stock.Jason the bartender is a crazy nice person though and is always more than accommodating with whatever is in his power. If he is there, youre going to have a good experience.

I’m not going to lie, all the bartenders here are extremely rude. Even if you’re being nice to them, they won’t even smile or act like decent human beings. It’s kind of ridiculous and off putting. If you don’t like your job, go somewhere else. You don’t have to be mean or rude to people, not a single person who’s being nice to you deserves that. Other than that, the drinks are good. The games are fun for a short while. But glitch definitely needs to rethink who they’re hiring, or at least be more strict with how they’re treating their customers.

Been here soooo many times, we either pregame here before another location or end up coming here if somewhere else is not the vibe. Always good drinks, I have heard the meatball sandwich is great, but never had it personally. Love the retro games and my boyfriend and his friends always love coming here for Smash Bros or Mario Kart. They have a new room with pin ball machines too, I do believe you have to pay for those, but all the other games are free and first come first serve. Love this place, never close!

I cant say enough positive things about Glitch. Its selection of arcade games, both vintage and ridiculously current, offer hours of enjoyment for video game enthusiasts and those who claim to not enjoy playing games. Who doesnt love a solid round of Skee-Ball? Games aside, Glitch mixes up some of the most legit craft cocktails Ive had the pleasure to imbibe. From the refreshing cucumber goodness of a vodka drink named Phil Collins to the decadent blackberry pureed John Wick, the offerings are complex, delicious, and affordable. Glitchs bartenders can mix up beautiful classics as well if you are more of a staple martini fan. Jason and Sam will instantly make you feel like regulars as they serve up a robust lineup of draft and bottled beers as well. One would have high hopes for a building with a Ziggy Stardust-era David Bowie mural on the exterior, and Glitch absolutely follows through with flying (8-bit) colors.

Review №103

Bar Manager Aaron is ridiculous. Our Designated Driver is pregnant. She paid for 3 of our drinks. We each also ordered our own drinks. Refused to give her a wristband to play at the arcade. Ridiculous to force a pregnant woman to pay for a wristband after spending $40 on drinks for other people who ALREADY HAVE WRISTBANDS from buying their own drinks. Horrible hospitality. Had a huge attitude when we questioned it even though we were coming from a genuine place asking why she has to buy a wristband. If you ask me, management needs to check situations like this. Not a good look. And even better when you are forcing our DD to buy a wristband. So sad to see someone that power hungry. He said “we make our money off you playing games” the wristband is $7 we as a group have spent over $300 on drinks. Power trip from a sad manager that has no responsibility other than making pregnant women pay $7 to play 25c games. Will never come back here or recommend to any friends.

We happened upon this place and it exceeded any expectation we might have had. The beer selection was awesome, lots of IPAs. The food was amazing, big portioned sandwiches with fantastic bread. The staff was super friendly and on top of it all you get free games for buying anything! Not lame arcade games either the kind that us 90s kids actually played and remember. They even have two tvs set up with nintendo switches that have mario kart deluxe and super smash bros! Eight beers, two sandwiches, three hours of an unexpectedly fun time for $80 plus tip. Definitely worth a stop and we will be back for sure!

Review №112

Ive been going to Glitch for over a year. Friday and Saturday nights get crazy, but early weekday evenings without too much of a crowd are fun. No waiting in lines for games, no obnoxious DJ music. The people who go here range from goths, nerds, e-gamers, to yuppies. A few good beers on tap, a lot more options in bottle or can. Cocktails are hit or miss. Dont be surprised if you find a tri-colored popsicle in one! That encapsulates the spirit of Glitch. They card, so no under-21s. My sole gripe is that some of the 80s and 90s arcade games dont work. Understandable, but frustrating. Will continue to go and have a good time.***Update as of Sept. 11, 2020***First time visiting since the pandemic shut down everything in South Florida. Glitch has converted from a barcade to a restaurant serving a brand new menu and a separate arcade entrance in which no food or drink is permitted. Unlimited games for $10.1. The Peanut Butter Vibes Sandwich is a must. It fits the theme of a retro barcade perfectly and was the most unique menu item. Crunchy peanut butter, jelly, and bacon on pressed bread with powdered sugar generously drizzled on top. Falls into the you gotta try its category for anyone not allergic or pork-free.2. The John Rambo Meatball Sandwich was good, but met my expectations rather than wowed. If you like meatball sandwiches, you can safely give it a go.3. Vodka Cran was on the weak side. There are tons of options for craft brew.4. Not as fun post-covid due to the segregation of food/drink from the arcade, but the staff was friendly and professional. Everyone wore masks and the guests understand this place is doing what it has to to survive. Theyre following all local ordinances with regard to limited capacity, indoor/outdoor seating, masks, and public hygiene. Really rooting for Glitch to survive.

Get your game on, retro style. Pacman and all live here. Order a drink and get a wrist band for free game play. The food is good as well but this is an awesome venue for a super fun date night. Plan accordingly, weekends are very full and you may have to wait your turn to play.

Absolutely amazing. My sister and cousin took me for my birthday. Buy a drink and you get to play a tasteful assortment of free play classic arcade games, as well as fun multiplayer console games, like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. I discovered a Darius arcade machine next to the console stations in the back, and engrossed myself in nostalgia for an hour. The decor is captivating. Perfect arcade dark atmosphere, with lots of glowy neon signs and UV reactive bits. Will definitely visit again when Im down in the area.

So how it works is that if you buy a drink you get a wrist band and can play any and every game. The drinks are delicious and the games are fun but there were like 3 games that didnt work, two wouldnt start, the other was a fighting game in which the characters wouldnt receive damage. I wish it was bigger but they really cant do anything about that lol, definitely recommend this place though!

Fun hole in the wall with a good selection of games and stuff to do. Service was a bit slow on a Friday night, but I cant fault the staff for that.What I CAN fault them for however, is parking. The lot to the immediate south will charge you $90 whether you were over your allotted time or not. For as much fun as I had, it definitely was not worth the price of potentially overstaying, and I wont be looking to go back in the immediate future for as long as the ripoff artists at Professional Parking Management keep trying to extort people.

Pretty cool. Games are like the Wawa air pump: it may be free, but it definitely might not work. Though, Im convinced enough to go back when Tekken is up and working.Outside, food truck, delicious. Great customer service!Inside, a bit crowded but not uncomfortable. Took a while to get a bartenders attention, even with a slow bar.If your not drinking for the night, dont feel pressured to.The concept: buy a drink for free games all night. If youre not drinking, buy a wrist band to play games all night for 7 bucks, (not sure why I was charged more though).

Review №124

A nice variety of games but the overcrowded atmosphere made it challenging to fully enjoy the games at times. I was really disappointed by the state of the bathroom. There was an excessive amount of water on the floor, and it was far from the level of cleanliness I expected. Ive seen cleaner portable toilets at concerts. While the gaming aspect was enjoyable, we had to leave early to find a clean bathroom.

I checked out Glitch Bar in Fort Lauderdale recently, and its got a cool vibe and concept with the arcade bar setup, That was awesome. However, I have to admit, the food was pretty basic, the cheese bites the sandwich were mostly bread.Whats worse, when I pointed out they forgot one of our items, The server refused to add the missing item to my order, they were rude and even body-shamed us, saying it was a lot of food. It left a bad taste in my mouth. and we ended up having just the sandwich and cheese bites. Its a cool spot, but they seriously need to step up their service and food game.

Review №139

Bartender, who I think was also the owner, was a jerk. I am visiting from out of town and just wanted to play pinball. They only take cash for that, and it was my bad to not show up with it in the first place, but when I asked him if they had an ATM or a way to give me cash back he was rude. Like I was an idiot. Ive played a lot of pinball at a lot of other barcades in the US and almost every one has had an ATM or a way to get Cashback at the bar to play their machines. The owner treated me like I was stupid for not bringing cash. I bought a drink anyway and played some games, just most of them had busted controls. Its a cool part of fort Lauderdale, but I would avoid this bar if youre a gamer, or especially a pinball enthusiast.

Ended up at Glitch Bar last night and I must say, What a place to be ! The whole experience is AMAZEBALLS.. when you first arrive, its literally a little hidden Gem. No fancy bars around, no restaurants directly across.. kinda of gives off nostalgia vibes in a wynwood twist. The place was packed but thats a good thing. Casual and Cool.. nobody was dressed to impress and I really Digged that. Bar was on point.. fast service, friendly servers and their drinks were good. My first one was The Bomb .. and it was just that! Who doesnt love a popsicle in their lemonade drink ?! There was a food truck out front, I didnt try it but many people were eating and I believe it was burgers and fries type of food. It looked super yummy ! Music was all over the place.. from the 80s to pop rock and you wouldnt believe me if you havent been and seen with your own eyes HOW ROCKIN it gets.. its a good mixed crowd .. so a lot of young and mid adults were in there .. singing along to every song and breaking it down. Old school games.. a ski ball section.. an air hockey game too. It was cool to see so many people enjoying themselves with the games. We played Mario Karts on an Nintendo 64 on like a TV from my childhood and I freaking loved it! Glitch Bar is def. A hang out you need to check out with your friends if youre down in the sunrise blvd / us1 area. I will definitely be coming back , I have a few games I didnt get to play and I need to!!

I had an enjoyable experience at this place, which exuded a welcoming atmosphere and a touch of nostalgia due to its collection of slightly old-fashioned games. Theres a blend of interactive modern games as well. While the magolorian drink didnt quite meet my expectations, the pumpkin cider beer was truly exceptional. The only drawback was the difficulty in finding parking, as well as the fact that theres just one bathroom available. Unfortunately, my positive mood took a hit when I encountered an unsettling incident. While using the bathroom, a man abruptly entered and stared until I had to hastily close the door. This experience left me feeling uneasy and questioned the safety for women visiting alone.

Most games even had cup holders so you can keep your drink in front of you in a safe line of sight while you play instead of putting it on a table behind you where you can’t see it. There’s even signs encouraging you to use the cup holders which I thought was awesome

The games are free to play if you order a drink, otherwise $7 to enter the arcade. I went on a Sunday night and it was not too crowded but did have to wait for some games, others were broken. The bar service is slow and the bartenders seem annoyed when you want their attention. There is a food menu with a bunch if sandwiches and bar bites. I didnt eat because I wanted a pepperoni pizza bagel but they were out, everything smelled amazing though. The lady at the door was really great!

Amazing amazing amazing, toys place is a well needed place for adults to go and drink eat and play old skool arcade video games. One recommendation is that the trivia games are about old skool cartoons/ movies/ shows/ games
