Laid-back hangout with old-school arcade games & pinball, weekend DJs, trivia nights & a full bar.
Glitch Bar – Fort Lauderdale Glitch Bar is a staple in the vintage and urban heart of Fort Lauderdale — and great music for good reason. The atmosphere perfectly blends retro arcade vibes with a modern bar scene, making it one of the most unique hangout spots in the area. The drinks are solid, the music sets the tone, and the best part? Buy a drink and you get to play a ton of classic arcade games — it’s pure nostalgia mixed with good times. The location couldn’t be better — perfect for a fun date night or a bar-hopping adventure with friends. There are plenty of cool spots nearby, but honestly, you should always end your night at Glitch Bar. It’s the perfect mix of fun, energy, and memories waiting to happen.
Oh my God, it was so much fun and so cool, we didn’t want to leave! The atmosphere was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend coming here with friends to let loose and have a great time. The staff was super polite, and they also recommended the perfect drinks at the bar. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Jul 2025 Someone suggested that I check it out as I enjoy classic arcade games. Premise is to buy alcohol and/or food, then you get a wristband for unlimited play (in the game room only). Some of the 'classics' ran on combo machines (meaning multiple games on one machine). Frogger & Zaxxon were on standalone machines. Both of those were set at advanced levels when starting (meaning harder to go far). Several new games there too (mostly for team play). Only one pinball machine though. Food (that I had was great, see pics). Around 10p or so, place is packed with younger set (20s & 30s) making it difficult to move around or play. Will I return? Not likely. It was good to check out, not enough game to warrant a return. Metered parking available across the street (large lot). Two pinball machines (pictured) are available if you pay per play.
This has to be one of the coolest bars I've ever been to! I've been to many "barcades" and this may be my favorite. The decor was a blast with a mix of horror and sci-fi fun and enough blacklight style posters to make anyone dizzy. The beer list was filled with very sweet options, which makes sense for a place like this, but I wasn't a fan of the choices. The arcades had the usual, but what stood out were the indie arcades, which I've never seen, and the four Killer Queen arcades, which is amazing. I'll be back every time I come to town!
Awesome chill arcade bar, what more needs to be said. Fun place to go with a friend or a date for a few hours. Pretty much every arcade game you could desire and more!
