    Enjoyed the beer!! The Mario tart tasted great- love the guava flavor and super refreshing. I normally don't enjoy seltzers, but the orange pineapple guava seltzer they had was really good. My husband enjoyed the God of pour IPA. Chicharrones were also satisfying, hot & fresh, and crunchy. Would come back to try other food and beer.

    Who knew this would be something I stumbled on today! This brewery sits right on the corner of Jefferson and Date. I was driving and sitting at a stop light when I saw the sign. Found a parking space with no problem and walked right in. They have outdoor and indoor seating. A bar with good bites. The outdoor area is equipped with misters for the heat and heating lamps for the cold days. I ordered an award winning beer called Redpool. It was quite tasty! They have two kiosks where you can get cards to play the arcade games. I had a ball!!! The games even have drink stands to hold whatever you are sipping on while you play. I will be back with friends!

    One of Murrieta's Gems With refreshing beers and delicious food options, this place is a must TRY as it's one of the best (if not the best) breweries in the area. This brewery has fun beer flavors/names. The beers are named after popular video/arcade games. For example they have drink called "Mario tart" for Mario cart Food/beers -variety of refreshing beer & cider selections Food -Not only are the drinks here good but the food is also quality! You can't got wrong grabbing some delicious food here. I've had smash burgers, salmon burgers, salads here and all are quality! Service -They are always helpful and kind Ambiance - it's a beautiful ambiance outside, especially for the night time with well decorated, with lights and a great design. Overall it's HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Such a fun place to go to for food, drinks, and arcade! I got to try their wings and chicharrones. Wings were flavorful! The chicharrones came in a huge plate! Also tasty, but I wouldn't have minded a smaller portion for less price. They have some unique flavored drinks which I always like to try when visiting a brewery. Looking up their menu online, it looks like the drinks change up daily. Service was pretty fast and friendly before the rush hour. They have a great space, but it can get packed on a weekend.

    Great beer, great atmosphere, decent bar. I got the Heff 4 Dead and the stout that was on tap, the other stout came only in a bottle. I love Greek food so I got the Greek rice Plate. I would give this establishment a 5, if not for the fact that the rice was undercooked, the Sun dried tomatoes were cold, and the dish overall was very tart. When it comes to Mediterranean food you have to find that nice balance with your tart ingredients. Not a deal breaker tho, I will definitely go back and try other dishes.

    Great place to hang out and have a beer. They have an impressive beer selection, their sours and lagers were so good. There is a big arcade room in back, that is super family friendly. They staff was great and very helpful, offering recommendations since it was our first time visiting. I haven't tried their food, but I will be back to give it a try.

    vegan cheesesteak and fries with chipotle dry rub

    Finally got to visit 8-Bit. Been hearing about this place since I moved to this area about 6 years ago. There's a bunch of room for gathering and eating, inside or outside. The food surprisingly doesn't take long to get and I was concerned because we were hungry and there was no way to order online ahead of time. I know that a few years ago when most restaurants were hopping on the plant-based wave, they had more of those options that have disappeared- I recall seeing vegan pork rinds or something on their menu before and some other options. Gratefully, they still had the vegan philly cheesesteak, so that's what I got. The homies I went with told me the portions were pretty big, but I wasn't convinced. Lemme tell you, the portions are legit. The fries are interesting due to the dry rubs they offer-the flavors are like nothing that I'm used to, so I appreciate the originality. Seriously, the chipotle isn't quite cajun (I was hoping for something like 5 Guys cajun fries) but still good. Look at this vegan cheesesteak. It was very good, the cheese tasted great, it was hot and fresh, not dry. My buddies wanted to stay for awhile so I ended up ordering one to eat there and one to take home. Only thing I was it could've used a bit more salt, but that was a minor issue. I wasn't sure what to expect with this place. I thought there would be way more games and arcades than there was, but for the size of the building and everything offered, I'd say there was still a good amount. We had a good time and I wouldn't mind coming back again with fam.

    God of Pour and Hef 4 Dead
    Canary H.

    A favorite brewery of ours. My fiancé and I had our first date here years ago, and we always come back on our date anniversary. Since we've been here so often, we've seen the changes throughout the years. Every time we come, he always tries to get the Hef 4 Dead and I always get the God of Pour. I'm a hazy IPA girl and u strongly believe their pours are always up to par and crisp. It's never a miss. Every time we come, we always make a habit of getting their fries. I don't recall ever getting the sweet and spicy flavor before today, but it was delicious. I believe their fries improve on a yearly basis. We went on weekend (today) and it was very busy. The tables and the bar side were filled up. I'd prefer to come on a weekday if time allows. Service is quick and easy. Food comes out quickly, even on bus days! See you again soon!

    Arcade
    Ellen K.

    On a rainy day here in Temecula, we needed something to do. After some heated discussions, we landed on 8 bit brewing because I wanted beer and the boys wanted an arcade. When I say "best of both worlds" I can't emphasize it enough. The arcade was awesome! We had so much fun playing skeeball and air hockey and the beer was crisp and helped me cope with the fact that I was, in fact, in public. I ordered the Greek plate and my *only* criticism is that it needed pickled onions. Other than that it was *chef's kiss* delicious. All in all, we had a blast. Will definitely be back to kick some more butt in air hockey.

    We've been coming here for years. It's been a tradition for us to stop by 8 Bit Brewery every-time we drive to LA from Las Vegas! This time around was solely to refill my husband beer fridge in our gaming room so it was a fun weekend brewery-hopping! We can both agree that 8 Bit is hands down our favorite brewery! From the amazing service that the beertenders provides each time, to their cool shirt designs.. we will always come back! So far we've collected in Merch: Joint Forces Tee The 8th Wonder Tee The Eye Of Souron Tee The Arcade Tee Circle 8 Mug Tee Local Katana Tee Jurassic Tart Tee Olive Patch Hat Super fun collecting the shirts with my husband and we love all their beer selections! We're on the hunt for the Jaws shirt now. We always come here to stock up beers for his fridge, and for a quick bite!

    Eye of Sour-On Cider

    I don't drink much, but I wanted to stop by and try this spot. The ambiance is very fun - they have a barcade area as well as open seating in a quieter, spacious area. Service from the bartenders was a bit unsatisfactory - pretty short and didn't offer much help. They offer a good range of nerd-centric beers and some pretty decent appetizers. I would suggest the grilled cheese! I would probably return for a drink on a weekday with less people :)

    The best doing it right now! Always reliable and never a bad time spent here. The staff is super approachable and the beer is truly the best in town.

    External Reflection IPA
    Justin F.

    Stopped in with a friend to check this place out while they were hosting a cornhole tournament. Since it was during off-hours, it wasn't too crowded, which gave us plenty of space to explore. They have an incredible selection of old-school arcade games and a ton of pinball machines! While I didn't try the food this time, the beers were excellen. Tthe IPA was fresh and the lager was crisp and clean. The staff was super helpful, offering samples and great recommendations based on what was on tap. If you love arcade games and quality beer, this place is a total gem. I'll definitely be back to log some more game time!

    They host special event in October you dont want to miss

    I've never written a review for a place I haven't personally been to... but Oscar's Brewing Company…read moresomehow earned one anyway. My parents visited Oscar's while they were out in Temecula a few weeks ago, and I am not exaggerating when I say they have not stopped talking about this place since. And apparently neither have the friends they went with. The food? Amazing. The drinks? Amazing. The atmosphere? Amazing. But the thing they keep coming back to is the staff--especially the bartenders. They could not stop talking about how genuinely friendly, hilarious, welcoming, and entertaining everyone was. Weeks later they're still repeating stories and jokes from that night like they just got home yesterday. And this wasn't some neighborhood spot five minutes from their house. They were out there on a little getaway, so for a random stop to become one of the things they remember and talk about most says a lot. My parents are pretty easygoing customers and aren't the type to make a huge production over a restaurant, which is exactly why hearing them rave about Oscar's this much caught my attention. So Oscar's Brewing Company--and especially the crew working that night--thank you. You gave my parents and their friends one hell of a memorable experience. Apparently now I need to make the trip to Temecula myself and see what all the damn hype is about. 5 stars from the people who went--and 5 stars from the guy who's been hearing about it for weeks.

From the TVs and chairs to the overall layout, everything feels thoughtfully put together and the design really comes full circle. And as a military mom, I especially loved the huge American flag. It's stunning and gives the place such a great presence. The bar looked fantastic too. Unfortunately, the food was a major missed opportunity. I had high hopes for the ribeye, but it was thin and nothing particularly special. Honestly, I could've gotten something comparable at Sizzler for half the price. My burger was edible, but the bun tasted cheap, which was disappointing for the price point. And the fries... They were cold, stale, tasted frozen, and honestly seemed like they had been sitting around since yesterday. That's what makes this so frustrating--the restaurant itself has SO much potential. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the location is great, and Temecula desperately needs more places with this kind of vibe. But when the food doesn't match the effort put into the space, it really feels like a missed opportunity. If you're coming from drinks alone - maybe a spot to catch

We stopped for dinner and the did not appear busy. There was plenty of free parking available in the shopping center and indoor/outdoor seating. It was very windy and too cold to eat outside, so we opted to eat inside. There were only four tables to choose from and one bathroom. This became an issue when someone was already using the bathroom, probably blowing it up since it had already been five plus minutes, and both of my kids had to go (we ended up going to Trader Joe's to use the bathroom). The food finally came out. We ordered 2 tri-tip plates, a chicken sandwich, a kids quesadilla w/rice, and 4 drinks. I was concerned about the tri-tip after reading many others complaining about it being overcooked. This was not an issue. The meat came out cooked perfectly, but the pieces were small. The mashed potatoes were good and buttery. The mac & cheese was good and had a nice flavor. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked, hard, and bland. The bread had soaked up the blood from the tri-tip and was soggy gross. The kids quesadilla was literally 2 store bought tortillas and some sprinkled cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted in between. I didn't care for it, but I'm glad my son ate it. Overall, I had high expectations for this place and it was lacking.
