Looking for a local place where you can be an adult and have fun as a kid or fun for your kids? I highly recommend 8 Bit Brewing, your local mini Dave and Busters without breaking the bank! 8 Bit has a great selection of beer on tap and delicious gourmet bar food. The Truffle Fries are delicious, and the Tater Tot Poutine is my favorite!!! Pretty much everything on their menu hits well with my family! My family and I, as well as our friends, really enjoy this place, especially for a family night out. The outdoor ambiance is great and the atmosphere is always welcoming. The staff is great, so friendly and knowledgeable with their selection of beer! What really makes it special is how much fun everyone has, kids and adults. The arcade games bring out that nostalgic, playful side, and it's impossible not to get competitive in the best way. The kids have a blast, and the grown‑ups end up right there with them, laughing and enjoying themselves. It's one of those rare spots where you can relax, eat well, have a drink, and still feel like you're part of the fun. 8 Bit is definitely a go‑to for us when we want something easy, entertaining, and family‑friendly. Give them a try I bet you'll have fun! read more

Food and service is always great! Nice date night location or night out with the friends. The only complaints I have experienced is that hostess seems lost half the time and the games tend to be sticky from people touching them without cleaning their hands. read more

This is a good brewery, it also has good food. We have had lunch here many times. Just about anything we've had was delicious. Being a beer drinker 8Bit never disappoints!! Self service is my only problem...lazy, huh Sharon Scott Oasis3741@gmail.com read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

What a gem! Absolutely loved their Tart specials and take home cans. The Tart Knight, Jurassic Tart, couldn't get enough. Was really special to try and the staff was super friendly. Definitely a returning customer. read more

This is a neat spot! Definitely hang out vibes. Reminds me of a fancier more upscale version of dave and busters but I love it. This is a brewery but they have wine. You get your money's worth on the wine. It is a Tad expensive but it is Temecula. I didn't have a chance to eat here this time around but I'd definitely come back and try the food. They have alot of good classic games. Just overall so much fun. Staff overall was polite. Place was clean. Have very nice outdoor seating and seating inside as well and at the bar. Parking isn't to bad. read more

First time staying overnight in Temecula so needed a place for dinner. This was super convenient to "hotel row" between Rancho California and Winchester, along the 15. The beer list is long enough to suit nearly anyone - I got a flight of tasters and liked the dark Czech Pilsner enough for seconds. They don't have a full bar or ciders, so the only beer alternative is a short wine list (Cabernet, rose, Pinot Gris - all local). Food was very good - we always share a big pretzel when we find one, and theirs was good. Loved the hit pastrami (fries were outstanding) and my wife really liked her chicken salad. Service was great, across two servers (Ian and Jackie). Would definitely return here! read more

We have been coming here since the beginning of time and didn't realized I havent posted a review. I am really enjoying their current food menu, and like they are promoting a different special every week. Can't ever go wrong with their beer selection and different drink options (just no cocktails) but do offer seltzer on tap and wine bottles. Service is really good, haven't had any issues with anyone. (Shout out to Brennan and Shane) Ambiance super chill Can't go wrong with the Arcade, my kids love it. All electronic on a card so you won't be losing coins/cash. Next time you are in town, totally recommend this place read more

Our office wanted to have a fun holiday party and this place hit the spot! Good food, fun and drinks we stayed for several hours. We ordered a bunch of food and drinks then we played for hours. It was really a great time. Staff was friendly and it wasnt too busy. We came in on a Thursday afternoon and stayed until closing (9pm) the only thing we weren't a fan of was the Greek plate, it just didn't have the right things in it. Overall great experience and we will be coming back again. read more

I stopped here to have lunch with a friend and we were both pleasantly surprised. It's such a cool Brewery with arcade games, great food, and tasty beer!! I tried the West Coast DDH IPA called The No Fly Zone. It was a super tasty beer. For food I got the New York steak sandwich and it was so good!!! The steak was seasoned perfectly and the aioli was so tasty. I also really loved their fries. They are so perfectly seasoned. My friend got the Blacked Mahi Sandwich and it was also very tasty! The place was pretty packed as it was a Saturday afternoon. But our food came quickly and the line to order went by fast too. I love the open seating! I think they do have a patio that you can wait to be sat at and get waited on, but we opted for the self seating area and you just go up to the bar and place your drink and food orders. I'd definitely come back to 8 Bit if I'm ever in the area again!! Yummy food and great vibes. read more

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 :) read more

We went to 8bit tonight for my daughter in law's birthday. Bianca was our seater, server and much more. She really had her hands full tonight and did such a great job! Just loved her! My son had the special which was shrimp sliders. He said he really liked them. My DIL and I had the French Dip sandwich. She had her's with the side Cobb salad and green goddess dressing. Her and I both loved the sandwich and she loved the Cobb salad and I love their truffle fries. The kids had their usual, chicken strips and fries. They brought out a plate of mini churro's with whipped cream and Carmel sauce for the birthday girl. Everything was delicious and had a great time We'll be back again for sure!!!! read more

A truly fur-baby friendly patio -- they treated our Chito amazingly! We loved the craft beers and the fresh, delicious chicharrones. Service was great, friendly staff, and tons of arcade games. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommend! read more

Stopped by 8Bit Brewing Company and had a really fun time. The place has a great concept with the retro arcade theme, which makes it a really cool spot to hang out with friends. They have a bunch of classic arcade games around the space, so it's easy to spend some time playing while enjoying a drink. The beer selection was solid with a good variety of house brews to choose from. Everything we tried was really good and it's a nice place to sit and relax for a while. The atmosphere is laid back and the whole arcade vibe makes it a little different from a typical brewery. Overall it's a great place if you're looking for something fun to do around Temecula or Murrieta. Good drinks, good atmosphere, and the arcade games make it even better. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again. read more

Great little brewery with a good choice of taps to choose from. We ordered dry rub wings and fries all were tasty. read more

What an awesome brewery. We drove about an hour to get here, and we will easily do it again. The layout is great, the staff was absolutely amazing and friend, and of course the beer too. To our surprise, all of the food was amazing too. We had the smash burger, tots, and some specialty fries like a honey something haha. My wife fell in love with sunshine avenue beer. I really like the deadpool ( forgot name) one. All I all, we are looking to come back read more

8 Bit Brewing Company in Murrieta is doing something right. They have a great location right off of Jefferson Ave and Date St in Murrieta, just a few blocks west of the 15 freeway. The brewery has indoor and patio seating, and can accommodate many guests making it a perfect place for group outings and family gatherings. We stayed a few hours into the evening and got to sit near their fire pits, which were nice. It did get colder so I wish they had some of the heat lamps turned on near us. They have the typical gastropub offerings and a large selection of drinks. We ordered a variety of items from their menu and enjoyed snacking on all the dishes. I especially was impressed with the Chicharrones because it came out sizzling and warm, and it had a kick to it. Spicy and crunchy. Inside, they have an arcade including pinball machines for all ages. To play any of the games, you'll need to purchase a game card and load points onto it. They have a machine that can guide you through the process. Similar to Dave & Busters or Round1 cards. The service could have been handled better when we arrived. Long story short, we stayed in the hostess's view near the pinball machines while we waited for our party's patio seating. Somehow they "gave up our seats" to another party because we didn't come fast enough after they sent out the notification text. Mind you, we came within 3 minutes after because we were in the arcade but most of our party were still seated near the hostess stand. Anyway, we eventually were seated in the patio after an additional 10 minutes. The only weird thing the hostess asked us was if we were going to be making food purchases, as if it were a requirement to be given patio seats. And the answer was: of course! (That's what we came to do: eat, stay, play, and drink!) We ordered inside because the kids were hungry - that doesn't mean we weren't going to order again after we sat down. Overall, despite the service we received with just trying to get seated, 8 Bit Brewing Company checks off all the goods: good for all ages, great for groups and families, good drinks, good food, and lovely atmosphere. A decent 3.8 but I'm rounding my rating to a 4 because we had a great time. read more

Super cute venue. Beautiful patio area and great area to sit inside while the kids go nuts at the arcade. Food was fantastic as were the drink selection. The art is awesome and strokes the need in me. We look forward to coming back to the area and highly recommend the locals to hit them up! Tons of fun, great food, with fantastic service and prices. read more

Still five stars after all these years! The beer keeps getting better and still love their food. I like that they change up their menu periodically and it never disappoints. The games are so fun for the kids (and the adults). Just a great vibe and a great place to eat and enjoy company. read more

First time here to actually eat food. The service was good and people were very tentative. There is several different places to sit in the brewery from outside, inside, and in the arcade area. Last time I was here was when the arcade was not there. I ordered the pretzel which was good. I also ordered the grilled cheese and added bacon, I didn't know that there would be onions in it and wasn't expecting it. Would've rather not had them in there. Also ordered the chicken wings and the with citrus buffalo and chili lime. The flavor was not there at all. I want to like this place because the ambiance is good. read more

We had the worst service. Bianca, or server was not suited to serve. Unfortunately she had no energy, flexibility, or hosting skills. Food was hit and miss although we did sit at 8:30 on a closing or 10pm. Burnt meat- salad add on of chicken for $9 when it was really iceberg lettuce was not worth it... We've been here before with happiness which is why we returned. That was about 2 years ago- the passion took a hard exit unfortunately. read more

Worst food ever. The blackened Mahi sandwich had no flavor and was mushy, the french dip was off. They tried to put some pepper in that was overpowering and smothered the flavor. Will drink will not eat again. read more

We've been twice and both experiences were great. The food is really good and the service is fast even when they're busy. We took our dog the first time on a less busy time of day on the weekend. The second time we went was during dinner time on a Friday. We had to wait for a table but it didn't take too long. Great restaurant and hopefully they can find a bigger spot eventually read more

8-bit Brewery is like nirvana for the need in all of us. The atmosphere, the friendly staff, and the delicious drinks. Now I haven't had a chance to sample their foods, but I asked for some delicious liquid courage and the staff person found this blonde yummy concoction that put me right in the perfect state of mind! Now, that's a great brewery in my book!! Enjoy the multi game feeds or the classic arcades, but above all enjoy the drinks and bring a friend!!! read more

Great place to have a craft beer and good food. The service is great with a smile and the overall ambience is like an adult game room. The outdoor seating was very nice with the table fire pits. We tried a few of the craft beers and some were a little different but others were great. The gaming names were also great. This is a great place to hangout with friends and have a craft beer with some pinball games. The Super Smash Burger was a hit and so was the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese.... Love the crispy tater tots! read more

So much has changed in 3 years since my initial review. We have been going here on and off the past few years but this week's stop was our first in probably 6-8months. We have brought so many friends here. Great place to enjoy great food and drinks while the kids play. Well not sure what happened but maybe they got a new chef and the menu has completely changed. What happened to the pulled pork Mac or the poutine fries, and all the other great items on the menu. Our last trip it was 6 adults and 4 kids and only 1 adult liked their food. Even the kid's menu has been watered down. We were tolerating how much more expensive the gaming experience was but now that it's paired with bad food then we might as well go to Round1 at this point. Total bummer. This was such a great spot before. read more
