Glitch Bar in Fort Lauderdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We love this place but had a negative experience with one of the bartenders. My friend took a tamarindo straw from the bar thinking it was for people to take but the bartender started scolding him and getting loud. Then he didn’t let a guy buy me a drink for some reason. I thought this was normal at a bar but ok. That was annoying but the icing on the cake was the bartender having an attitude about Apple pay so i paid him in cash and gave me 1$ in change when it was supposed to be $3 and said entitledly “Tips are appreciated” like sir give me back my dollar. He was so vile and disrespectful. Straight black hair with a crazy mustache and bun

Lots of beer options, you get a wristband to play games after you buy your first drink. There’s lots of outdoor seating if it gets too loud inside

I've been to this arcade bar a few times with friends, and it’s always a great time. They have a solid selection of drinks, including craft beers and cocktails, along with some tasty snacks to keep you going. The arcade games are well-maintained, and there’s a nice mix of classics and newer options, making it fun for everyone. It can get pretty crowded and noisy, especially on weekends, but that adds to the lively vibe. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, I'd suggest coming earlier in the evening before the crowd picks up. However, one downside is that the place can get a bit dirty when it’s busy, with tables sometimes left unattended for a while. That said, it’s still a fun spot to hang out, enjoy drinks, and dive into some nostalgia with their arcade games. Perfect for a casual night out with friends.

Hidden gem in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. Took family and friends here yesterday and everyone had an enjoyable experience. Game room had lots of variety of retro games and beer options were plentiful. Only recommendations is to make the pinball machines free as those were only games you had to pay for…

A great place to go with colleagues, friends, or even on a date. Tons of retro games to play

Super cool spot for great drinks & awesome retro games!

If you need a place where you can explore your childlike wonder uninhibited then the Glitch Bar is where it’s at. The guy who I went with ordered me a Cherry 🍒 Limeade which was way better than my first drink. He got the John Pick. I enjoyed the ball toss, virtual bowling and a classic arcade game where I cannot think of the name right now. There is something there for everyone! Go be a big kid and have a stress free night at the Glitch Bar!

Ryan is the absolute best bartender that I’ve ever he’s respectable and attentive

Great place fun vibe the weekends with the DJ is turnt and the games make it so fun

Perfect bar for gamers. Drink prices were good. The dj was playing a good mix.

Is awesome place I love going there best places in fort Lauderdale

Awesome drinks and a super fun atmosphere. Come during a weekday when it’s not crowded! Some games had malfunctioning buttons, but nothing major.

Old school arcade and IPAs. I was simply sold. Weekdays are less packed and more space to move around. But vibes are all around great.

Awesome Video game joint with a LARGE selection of drinks from a full bar to beers and tap! One of my go to spots for a game and outing!

Cherry limeade drink has to be my favorite!

I had been here since my husband took me there It was my third time but I usually get tamarind spice but I tried cherry bomb hell noooo Taste is horrible Tried to exchange my regular drink but the lady with hoodies said no and I only drank one sip not nice at all I m working at restaurant Industry too usually they complained about drinks my management always does DNL But we tipped her too pretty bad experience for this time but we will still come back cuz of my husband’s fav place 🥲🥲🥲

Love this place but I suggest you come early so you can play the games because after 10pm it’s so packed you can’t play any. The drinks are delicious and such a good price. Highly recommend coming here for a date night

We visited here during our trip based on the reviews in TikTok! The atmosphere we awesome and the drinks were really good. I would recommend to others! Also, get a weekend at Bernie’s! You will spend a majority of your money in drinks!

A great way to enjoy a drink, some arcades, and some good music. Yes, it's a geeky place with old-school vibes. love it.

Super cool spot! A must visit In Fort Lauderdale!! The Staff / Bartenders are amazing!! We were welcomed by Lara and she is hands down, the Best!!! All of the games are so much fun & the drinks & food are amazing

It's the kind of place where you can fart as loud as you want.

I heard the bartender say to the other bartender, you get the n!$$ers. I'll never come back with people like them.

My husband and I often visit Glitch Bar for its fantastic retro ambiance. The arcade games are a blast, the tap beer is top-notch, and the music is always great. It’s the perfect place to unwind!

Over crowded at times but awesome bar!

Ryan was our bartender and he was amazing! Recommend great drinks and they have the best service to offer! Will come back just to see Ryan!

A lot of drink choices, good bar food. And hella video games from the 80s to today. Its a drive for me but worth it

Fun local spot and great way to meet people with similar interest.

Such a fun bar!!! Loved the games here. Had more fun here than a night out clubbing…plus way cheaper!! lol

Cool arcade bar I would say actually better and nicer atmosphere than even the ones up in Orlando where I moved up to from Sunrise, but really have to wonder: do any single women ever actually go here? It seems like any time I've gone it is literally all couples or people on a date with someone. Would be awesome if they did a like "nerd nite" here specifically for singles or something, maybe on an otherwise slow night like wednesdays?

So much fun! The meatball sandwich is the bomb! Drinks are prefect - especially the old fashioned. Great selection of games.

This bar is a total vibe. The mixed drinks were good and there are old school games in every nook and cranny! It is a bar, so we didn’t go expecting Michelin Stars food service, however, the bites we had were not that bad.

First time visiting this place. Very different and fun! Ppl here are open to playing with you and against you. You'll love it here if it's your thing. I did not have food here but their drinks were tasty

Gets a little crowd so its best to get there a little early. They have lots of old school classics along with some new consoles. They have a dj that gets there around 10.

Greta fun place to chill, wide variety of games and always a fun time

The experience at Glitch starts from the outside. A cool display of vibrant mural s activate the facades of the building from which the indoor activity sprawl out beneath the stringed lights. You can have access to the game room, by 1. Buying a drink 2. Buying the wristbands. I strongly recommend option 1, they make a great Long Island. Trust that you’ll have a great soundtrack to create a memorable night. There is quite a nice variety of gaming option, there’s bound to be something for everyone. There’s something quite nostalgic about playing the retro games. It feels like being part of a modern past. The place is buzzing with glee, cheers and cries from the playing crowd, while the music is playing. Yes there is a space for those who empowered by either the music or their drinks who want to dance. The ambiance is wonderful for date nights, or night out with friends. It’s a great place to reconcile your inner child and functioning adult. Parking is also available on site or at the surface parking lot across the street. Go and have a great time. You deserve it. This is quite a little gem to behold.

Hidden gem in the Flagler district. Full bar, nice bites, with nostalgic games! It's definitely a fun way to mix up the evening!

Nice little bar with bunch of games and variety of drinks. They do serve non alcoholic as well. Entry is $7. Unless you buy the drink, the entry is free. I enjoyed this place a lot with friends. I would go again. Parking is limited. You have to park across the parking lot.

Really fun bar. Just order one drink and you get a wristband with access the the arcade. The cocktails are great and they have a good beer selection. Arcade machines are well maintained and kept clean. Fun lighting and art/posters everywhere. This is a fun spot.

This is the best place ever. Usually no cover if you buy a drink and open late with lots of fun old machines to play, and usually a pretty good DJ. I love when they play 80s music and emo throwbacks. This makes it the best spot for hanging with a group of friends for hours without having to plan for an entire night out. The bathrooms are also so fun to take photos in. Love this place and will always recommend it.

Love glitch, It's so much fun and they play a variety of music. It does get crowded on the weekend, so you will want to go early.

Came here for fathers day and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend. They had great drinks and delicious quesadilla's

I wasn’t even able enter the bar because my buddies were below 21 but the bouncer Javen was very cool and outgoing and helped us out a lot, really appreciate him.

Amazingly decorated bar, your eyes cannot get enough of the quirky, neon but beautiful gaming decorations all around the bar. Buy one drink and play any game you want as many times as you want. That’s a deal!

Really cool place, brings back good memories to an easier time.

Great spot, always a treat. Love the concept and it’s executed beautifully. Jackie is a professional manager, Aaron always attentive at the bar and always nice to be greeted by Leo at the front. One of Fort Lauderdale’s finest spots!

The place is good to hang out, but the day I went there were too many people. The worst part was going to the bathroom, as some men were banging on the door to get me out of the bathroom soon. Otherwise, the place was fun.

Good place to vibe and play some classic arcades, I was totally surprised at how many arcades + good 🍸 drinks they have. I feel like this is a place for first dates and have fun with the environment

If you’re spending the day on las olas must visit!

Drinks are GREAT, games are a bunch, definitely a good time. 👌 Food not sure.

This place is amazing. I have traveled for multiple indie arcade game tournaments. Love KQ, Galactic Battleground, Nidhogg II, DeathBall, and so many more. This place has them all. Pay less than $10 to play all day or buy a drink. If you love arcades you need to check this place out.

Great atmosphere and the arcade games are definitely entertaining! A nice experience if you want to go to a bar and do more than just sit and chat. The food is pretty simple and decent, nothing to write home about, but no complaints either.

Love this spot. Been here over 10 tines and it has never failed me. Atmosphere is great, music is bomb, and the video games are just classic. Highly recommend for a chill night out to hangout with good friends or a date. 🙌💯🔥

Me and my fiancée visited Fort Lauderdale with our friends, they recommended we try going to Glitch. We had a wonderful time and great experience here, it is decorated with all sorts of game and movie references. The bartender we had was a little short with us but no biggie. The bar portion is completely available to sit at, you don’t have to play games to enjoy Glitch. It only costed an additional $7-8 to go into the arcade portion, then you are free to play any game, no coins or tokens. There is also switches in the back to play Mario kart! Would definitely come back! 10/10

The beer selection in amazing! Games are free if you by a beverage...

Dope spot! I would go early before it gets crazy crowded tho

Pretty cool. Games are like the Wawa air pump: it may be free, but it definitely might not work. Though, I'm convinced enough to go back when Tekken is up and working. Outside, food truck, delicious. Great customer service! Inside, a bit crowded but not uncomfortable. Took a while to get a bartender's attention, even with a slow bar. If your not drinking for the night, don't feel pressured to. The concept: buy a drink for free games all night. If you're not drinking, buy a wrist band to play games all night for 7 bucks, (not sure why I was charged more though).

Don't come here for the food, but the drinks are enjoyable. I had the sonic cocktail and it was pretty good, slightly sweet but enjoyable. For a basic cocktail of vodka and coke is reasonably priced. The vibe here is awesome but when it gets busy, it impossible to play any games. So be mindful of that.

Quite literally the happiest place on the planet! Best games, best drinks, best service from the friendliest staff. From the front door all the way until you pay your tab and head home. I’ll be back most definitely !

Right off the bat the atmosphere is amazing. One of the coolest bars I’ve ever been to and you get unlimited play time on the games if you buy a drink. We got the cheese sticks and mini tacos. Idk what I expected but probably just don’t eat there is my best advice but I can’t hold the gross food against them, it’s clearly not a place for getting a bite to eat. We had two bar tenders. The first was a skinny girl with blondeish hair. Idk if we caught her on a bad day or what but she genuinely gave me the impression that the only thing that would make her happier than if we left would be if we left to go jump off the nearest bridge. Very much did not want to be talking to us and wasn’t afraid to hide that. Her saving grace is she made probably the best drink I’ve ever had (Cherry Bomb). Our second tender was a dude with a beard and he was great, very personable.

I didn't try the food, but the vibe was right and the staff is super friendly. The arcade technician, Mike, the even gave me a tour of some of the nerdy arcade things. 10/10

This place is really great. Perfect for a few retro games and drinks but I guarantee you could make a full night out of this with friends. Will 110% be returning within the next couple weekends. Props for having good, cheap bar bites too!

Yo, I gotta spill the tea on – it's legit the bomb dot com! Like, seriously, I had the sickest time ever there. The vibes were totally on point with all those classic arcade games. I was living my best life playing Mario Kart.

Great little bar. Small and hole in the wall vibes with friendly people

This place rocks. We came for the first time a few days ago and loved it. Then I found out it is family friendly until 8 pm, so 2 days later came back w my youngest son and already planning to come again with my oldest. Love all the machines, the drinks are fantastic (they also have standard cocktails), and we tried 2 sandwiches, the Italian Grinder and the Rambo, and they were amazing. I wish I lived closer, I'd be here all weekend, every weekend! *please note, it is very expensive to drink here, and if you expect ice in your cocktail, they will charge an additional $2. This is for regular ice, not the big fancy cube for Whiskey. This is on top of the service charge and tax, and you would still tip separately. They will also charge you for tap water. I wasn't previously aware of all the nickle and diming here, so I will definitely take that into consideration going forward when choosing a venue. There are other bars nearby more fairly priced that you can drink at before or after coming here.

I went here for a good time and the bartender named Fran was giving me so much attitude just for asking about mozzarella sticks. I’ve been here a lot in the past but having an employee that gives you this much attitude is not it.

I don't know how to not have fun here.

Always a good time. Gets busy later in the evening but always great with a group of friends or solo to meet new people.

I dii oh d not see any food there BUT all you have to do is buy a drinks and you can play any game you want after that l. The drinks are pretty good too just be prepared to pay atleast 13 for each. Love this place and will be back! FYI- Bring your ID!

Great place to hang out. Food is meh. Service was good

Very good bar with access to unlimited video games if you buy a drink for more than 7 dollars. Great atmosphere.

I find myself longing for more venues like this one, a bar that offers more than just light snacks. It boasts an impressive selection of sandwiches and chips alongside a comprehensive bar menu and a wide array of beer choices. The entrance policy is straightforward: either pay a cover charge or buy a drink, and you're all set. Pinball games are available for just a dollar. The place even features a competitive edge with a ranking system; participants can log their scores, which are then displayed on a TV for everyone to see, adding to the competitive spirit. There's also skeeball and Mario Kart to enjoy. It's wise to arrive early, as the space fills up quickly, testament to its popularity. The atmosphere is incredible, offering a nostalgic journey for many, and the experience is heightened when the DJ starts spinning tunes. It's an amazing spot that truly comes alive.

It was a lot of fun spending time with friends.

Super fun spot! Killer Queen is 10 player joust on steriods.

Video games and micro brews. All that needs to be said.

A whole vibe! Would’ve stayed longer if I could have

rad atmosphere, really good time

Awesome place to go and have drinks and play old school video games.

80s Arcades and a Bar what else u need to be happy? blacklight themed and nice ppl, good vibes, mango margarita top rocker, full random arcades to vibe high

Really neat place to check out! The games are all unlocked (free admission into the game area with purchase of a drink). They have all the arcade classics, staff was very friendly, and the food was quite good. Average drink prices. I visited this bar while on vacation, otherwise I would be coming back more regularly

It is a great place to get something to eat and drink while you are waiting to see a concert or show at The Parker Venue. The servers are very friendly and interact with the customers. It has an arcade for playing games also.

Glitch Bar's fun and unique atmosphere is sure to delight gamers and casual bar-goers alike. The flawless execution of the retro arcade theme creates a nostalgic feeling, and the combination of classic games and an extensive drink selection make it perfect for a casual hangout or unique date night. I give it a solid five stars!

Cool spot! Love the vibe! Definitely coming back!

Always a great time at this place

Use to be the spot before it blew up. Now you can barely get to any of the games. Especially Mario kart. There should be time limits or someone going around making sure everyone gets a chance to play. I know it’s not the staffs fault but it’s really annoying to have to wait for entitled people to move out of the way or share a game to let others take a turn. I said something to the group, but they just looked at me like I was an alien with two heads

It's a fun bar and something different to do. The killer bee game is fun to play with group of friends.

First timer. I had a wonderful time tonight! I'm a gamer nerd at heart and the atmosphere was so chill and the glow in the dark theme was everything! Parking is just feet away, I felt safe the entire night. I met so many wonderful people tonight. Id love to come back when I'm in town!

Really enjoyed this place. They have a Dj on Saturdays that plays EDM and does his own mix. Love the arcade bar concept specially the smash bros console !

Really cool place to go , everyone is super friendly and open to conversation good selection of arcade machines and two switch consoles in the back and the drinks are always good they never skimp out on the alcohol

Good vibes and a great selection of games both modern and retro. Easy to get service from the bar with a good selection of menu items. Need more beer options though. The building itself was a bit cramped and bathrooms are small and kind of disgusting but that is to be expected when drinking is involved. Overall a pretty good time but I would recommend to bring a friend so you can enjoy the games better!

I didn’t eat here, not big on pub eats, but the staff is chill and helpful, the vibe is fun, and the drinks are great ! Had a great time with my people. They have some classic games I never heard of except for skee ball (lol) but all around great time.

The inside is amazing! It's worth it to look at every little piece of art, there are some cool surprises. Huge selection of craft beer. Cocktails are tasty, and prices are good. Free play on the cabinets in exchange for a drink or $7 would keep me coming all the time if I lived nearby.

Fun place, large assortment of arcade games, gets PACKED on the weekend. You've been warned

Great bAr-cade. Great drinks, good offering of games to play including a couple stations for Super Smash Bros & Mario Kart with a mix of people of all kinds. Good place to socialize while you play or go for a fun night out.

This is a cool spot to hang with friends or maybe a 2nd or 3rd date. We went on a Saturday night at about 930 p.m., and it was packed. A wide variety of games that you can play with the purchase of a drink or $7 wristband. If you're into games, then you can hang out by the bar area and grab some food. Paid parking lot across the street if the one in front is full. You can use an app to pay. There's a dj and also a backroom that has $1 pinball machines. The floor was noticeably sticky, and it would be great to have some hand sanitizer stations throughout since it's a very high touch venue. This bar had great aesthetics as well and would go again at a different time where there are fewer people.

The atmosphere was good, chill. A little too crowded for a place of this size but I had a lot of fun! I love the traditional arcades and unlimited acces for the price of a drink is an awsome deal as the drink are reasonably priced I think. I Will definitely go back and recommended the place to a few of my friends.

This place is amazing I had so much fun here. Order a drink and play as many games as you want, pretty awesome. Seven dollars to play without a drink. Great old school games and there's also two Nintendo switches.

Buying food should get you a wristband. Also, my friends ordered food and they just forgot to bring it. If it happened once, that would be fine, but they did it twice.

Amazing. This place is THE DeLorean of our times. It brings you back in time to the 80’s. If you are an 80’s kid, the moment you walk in you are transported back in time - a time when there was no wifi, no iphones, no uber, no amazon. It was a time of pure unadulterated FUN!!! Not to mention the service. The service is GREAT. You feel like you’re with lifelong friends when you walk in even though it may be your first time. Kudos to the managment and staff. You have a great one here!!!

OK nice place not my age group but great nice game area 👍🏿

Very fun, great beer selection and fun games.
