    Cheeseburger

    The service was great, drinks were getting refilled quickly and the appetizer sampler was the perfect mix of all food! For dinner I had a cheeseburger... it was fantastic! Took off one point for the smell inside the bar. I would highly recommend coming here if you like great bar food.

    Usually stop in for an early lunch and a bucket of beer. Place is clean, staff is quick to get our order in and they play awesome Music.

    Friendly atmosphere and some pretty good wings. Good beer selection, what else does a guy really need?

    Grilled chicken salad $10-excellent!

    Ive always been a big Crusens War fan. Great staff. Plenty of seating. Great patio. Fantasic specials. Food is excellent...especially their salads. Fri is 1.50 Coors or Bud Light bottles. Had 3 of those and the grilled chicken salad that was the best Ive had. A lot of chicken, homemade dressing and fresh extras like diced tomatoes and eggs. Salad $10 and definitely worth it. Will be back soon.

    Excellent amenities in the women's room. One roll does it all!

    There are no reviews here because their customers apparently can't write, so figure that into your decision to visit or not

    Place is decent for a college bar if you're trying to watch some sports or something.

    This is a great spot for drinks anytime. The crowd is all ages. They usually have live music on the weekends and charge a $5 cover

    Great place for affordable delicious food, sports on tv and pretty good drinks. It's usually pretty busy which is a good sign.

    Went on a Thursday afternoon and nabbed a $3 pitcher of beer special that also came with a half-dozen hot wings!

    Ok place. They have a large beer selection. Games are free to play with purchase, but it seemed…read morelike some of the buttons of the games I played were off. Something fun to do for a little bit. It does get cramped in there.

    Review Visit: July 24th, 2016…read more Beer, arcade games and friends. My kind of place. Growing up, I got involved in playing video games thanks to my father and friends. Everything from Atari to Sega Genesis to Super Nintendo to Gameboy; everything in-between and everything after. Once I was legally allowed to enjoy adult beverages, I grew to enjoy beer a few years later. Shortly after, 8 Bit opened up. Having a lifelong love for video games and a recently acquired taste for beer, I gathered a few of my nerdy friends up and headed that way. 8 Bit is a pretty unique place. It's a bar that is also an arcade. It looks like a normal business situated at the end of a building but inside is a different story. Upon walking, you get the feeling you are in a house. You have some stairs that lead up to... somewhere. Off to the right of the entrance is the smallish bar. Between the bar tables and the machines, it can get pretty packed with just a handful of people. As you deviate from the bar, you'll find yourself in a hallway that has one machine at the end on the left, that is tucked under the stairs. Next to that is a room that full of 6-8 games (it could vary, I am not sure). Going back in to the hallway, you'll find the next room down on the left. That room is L-shaped and has maybe 12 games in it. At the end of the hallway, are the bathrooms. All the games are free to play as long as you are ordering drinks and spending money. Instead of loading your pockets full of quarters, you just have to load your belly up with beer. A fair trade off in my opinion. The beercade has a nice beergarden to enjoy. On my first visit here, my friends and I ordered a few drinks and headed outside to play some Pokemon Go. After polishing off my beer, I noticed there was a window in which you could order beer from the bar through. That is exactly what I did. I ordered another beer through the window. I thought that was pretty cool. While we were there playing Pokemon Go, another group of people came in and was playing Pokemon Go. We noticed they were playing as we kept battling for the Gym that was located nearby. At one point, that group sent someone out to spy on us as we battled for the gym. After noticing the other group was taking this too serious, we decided to close the app, head inside and play the arcade games. The selection of arcade games is about your standard fare. There are your usual games but they also had a few games I've never seen before. We played games for a bit longer before heading out. Now, this wasn't my only time I have come here. Ever since this visit, I have been back a few times with various other friends. Each visit has been unique. The first time I went, they offered food. The subsequent visits had no food options due to law changes. The last time I went was in late 2019 and they had this sweet system set up at the bar. It was operated with some aftermarket SNES controller and had almost every retro game available. My friend Nate and I spent more time browsing the catalog than gaming. It was such a sweet system and I wish I had it at home. 8 Bit has expanded to a second location in Bloomington, IL. I have yet to check it out but it is on my short list of places to visit. I feel like it's my duty as a gamer to check out not just the 2nd location but all beercades across the world. If you have the chance to check one out, you don't even need to be a gamer to enjoy these kinds of places.
