Strangely I found the bathrooms fascinating and a focal conversation point. Drinks aren't bad but this place has such a lovely old school atmosphere. Great for catching up with friends. read more

I was reliving my youth attending this cool, and super fun venue Very good selection of arcade games and set top gaming consoles: basketball, big game hunter, gp moto cycle racing with virtual option, mario kart.... Coulda stayed here all night. Great layout for socializing and competitive arcade game play! Food included wings, mini slider, tater tots and poutine fries hit the spot with great cocktail slushies! Bar featured a solid selection of Phillips brewery beers! What else could one ask for.... Great vibe at this venue and will be back to check on my high scores! read more

Visited Glitch early evening for a birthday get together. Something unique about glitch is that you can play old school video games from your table which is pretty cool. It was really nostalgic and we were provided with Wii remotes when we sat down. I think different tables might have different consoles because there are quite a few available. The staff was friendly and food was brought out promptly. The ordering is pretty easy too, on the table there is a QR code with the drink menu then you order at the bar and another QR code for ordering food. You pay for your food through the QR link so it's really convenient to get everything done. There were a decent amount of arcade games around the bar that were pretty available to play during our visit. I wonder how it would be like later on in the evening though read more

Its a tiny spot but with a surprising amount to offer as a bar and games room. The bartender sometimes have their own drink/secret meny so keep an eye out! Sad this spot closed down :( read more

This is more of a 4.5 star rating! We come to Glitch every Tuesday to play Trivia and it's a bumping place to be! They also have "club" DJ nights on Fridays and Saturdays, karaoke other nights and some fun events with Drag Queens or Super Smash Bro. Tournaments. I view Glitch as an OG Games bar compared to Greta Bar, but also like the mini version of Greta Bar. Glitch has a decent food menu - We love their burgers and tater tots as a side are always so fun. They've recently revamped their menu to include poutine and milkshakes. I've been hoping for some sweet non-alcoholic treat so I'm stoked about the milkshakes but it often feels like every other week they don't have chicken wings or milkshakes. Nonetheless, this is still a super fun bar to hang out at with lots of nostalgic console games and fun arcade games like basketball, skeeball and pinball. They have super fun drinks like the slushees (and have added some additions in the years I've come here now) and cool cocktails (they have a Barbie theme right now and some of them have pop rocks, nerds, and shark gummies!) The service is always great even though sometimes they are slammed. They're all super friendly and have never had any negative interactions which sometimes can feel commonplace in some bars around Vancouver. The point (half point) dock was a slight wish for more food diversity like dessert or a salad..... but I also get that this is probably not their end goal but as regular patrons of trivia I would be stoked for more food options. Oh, and visit the women's bathroom and the single bathroom if you can! read more

Super fun video arcade bar..from the states and brought my daughter and her BFF here for their 19th birthday since you can drink in Canada at 19. Great experience, waitress was super sweet and accommodating to first time drinkers palates.. got the slushy flight and then additional slushies. Fun booths available to play WII and other games. Great place for the younger crowd.. the Seth Rogan bathroom experience is like none other haha! And the ladies room with Ryan Reynold..just a great experience for the ladies. 10/10 would come back even though I'm so old! read more

Atmosphere: 0/1 Service: 0/1 Food: 1/3 My friends and I came to check this place out since we're a huge fan of gaming and nerd-themed bars - and were highly disappointed. The controllers were dirty (we wanted to try some games but the controllers were absolutely disgusting) and many of the arcade machines were unplayable. As well, compared to other gaming bars with specialized themed food/drink/videos playing, Glitch for the most part only has standard food/drink (with a very limited menu) and for some reason was playing sports on tv (??) Overall Glitch feels like a regular bar that slapped on a gaming skin without really realizing the core of how to really create that experience. They definitely missed the mark by a longshot. The service was also very sparse for being one of few tables in the bar at the time too. My bellini was good, but honestly the overall experience was quite lame and we won't be coming back. read more

Glitch Bar & Games Room - Slushie flight, Somersby cider - Bars Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My friend and I came across this place while we were strolling through the area, the neon lights outside caught our eye. Once we entered the gaming vibe was so nostalgic. We were able to sit wherever we wanted and we sat at a table with a nintendo 64 system ready to play. You pay for the controllers and while you wait for food it's a great distraction! My friend and I order 2 drinks each, The princess peach sangria, sharknado TMNT, and margarita- all delicious!! The only con was the wait for the wings we ordered, it took 40min to get but once we reminded our waitress she was super kind that she took it off our bill and let us play a game for free. All in all def would come back Also, make sure to push the button in the family washroom - a vibe in itself lol! read more

New arcade bar on West Broadway in Kitsilano! Soft opening until Feb 29th. Really excited that there is a fun hang out spot in this area that's not "just a bar". Happy hour Monday to Friday from 3-6pm with high ball and beer specials. Apparently they serve food on certain days too but the day we were there they did not have food available. The bar itself is definitely kitschy and divey with the neon lights and the vintage movie posters. Lots of arcade games and video games available, pool, air hockey, skeeball, darts, pinball.. etc. There is also jenga, connect four and other games available too if you choose to just sit at the table and not play the arcade games. They do have an ATM on site but bring cash just in case so you can make change easily for the games. There are also couches with TVs in front of them if you choose to play video games with your friends instead. Beer and drinks selection is quite good with a good selection of local beers on tap. Will definitely be back to try some food next, apparently the burger is quite good! P.S. the wall paper in the ladies' bathroom is a collage of Ryan Reynold's photos - hilarious!! read more

Glitch bar has been a staple for me and my friends. Whether we are celebrating a birthday or throwing work socials, glitch bar is a fantastic space that always delivers a good time. The staff are helpful and professional. I recently also had a really positive interaction with the managers. Through their guidance, I was able to throw a successful party that hosted about 60 people. They had everything i needed: streaming to several tv screens, a microphone, and fabulous drinks. Not to mention they have so many cool arcade games! It was easy to entertain in this space and highly recommend it if you are wanting to throw an event! read more

My Partner and I really enjoyed this Bar! The drinks were good. We enjoyed the arcade games. The collection of arcade games is small but they do have a bunch of consoles you can rent controls and play. We used a GameCube and they had a good selection of different games! The staff was super friendly and all very helpful!! read more

My review is based on the lack of face mask s the staff are wearing. Only one out three staff were wearing a mask . In face one like to wear it around his chin exposing his mouth & nose in close proximity to clients . read more
