For the amount of fun they had in 2 hours it was WELL worth it! I believe the max is 20 players for laser tag. We had a few dads stay and play both sessions and everyone loved it. Each player gets a printout of their gaming score to see how they did. For the record, you can bring your own cake but other food (pizza, ice cream, pitchers of drinks) need to be bought onsite.

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.

Upon arrival it looked like a massive place but once in side it was easy to tell that Uncle Bucks has seen better days. For being a family fun center/bowling alley its decor was very grim with bad lighting and the TVs are very old. We ordered food and drinks from the bar and the bartender was friendly and took our requests with no issues. The buffalo chicken tacos were below average, they needed more chicken and less lettuce. They had fried pickles on them which were good. The french fries were decent too. My coworkers didn't have great things to say about their orders. If you're looking for a cheap place to bowl and have a few drinks then Uncle Bucks is a good option, but I wouldn't go solely for the food.

On a scale of 1-5, how memorable was this room: 3.5 (5 being I will remember it forever till I die!) Some special/random features I must inform other Yelpers: - Full of gen 1 (ie locks) puzzles to solve, SO MANY!! - Would not recommend a team of JUST beginners - Should have at least 1 member familiar at solving puzzles - Otherwise, great the family, kids, everyone - It's partially Austin Powers inspired, minus the naughtiness - The staff is so super sweet, they feel like a family Happy escaping!
