16-Bit Bar+Arcade

What a fun place! It’s the Chuck E. Cheese for adults. Games are on free play, expect for pinball which is $1 a game. Very open inside. There is a fun slide you can take from the upstairs. Highly recommend for any adults looking for something to do in their free time!

Really cool vibe. Huge space with plenty of free arcade games, two floors, a slide, comfortable seats, friendly service, and a few NA options. There's also paid pinball and events they host. If I loved in Indy, I'd be here pretty often.

What a crazy cool place in downtown Indianapolis!
Amazing place to catch a sporting event, play arcade and pinball games, and enjoy a creative variety of special drinks!

My experience with each of the staff in my visit was especially personable, and even though 16-Bit has enough flash to stand in its own right with fun drinks and arcade selection, the staff I met shone even brighter. Special shout-out to Taylor for her amazing attentiveness and service and to Nick for offering a “secret” special cocktail to me, which was delicious.

If you are looking for a fun pit stop in Downtown Indianapolis, look no further than 16-Bit!

Recommend visiting if you’re looking for a fun day or night. Great creative drinks. Very vibey with the signage and the slide is a cool addition. Lots of different games. Really busy on weekends though.

Had a great time tonight with a bunch of work people. Taylor at the bar took care of us when we weren’t the easiest to deal with. Ordered a bunch of different beers, shots, drinks, etc. She was a pro and super friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Awesome and FUN place to stop at. I had found this place online before booking my trip to Indy and made sure to stop there while in the area. I LOVED the concept of playing the old arcade games, pinball machines, and ski-ball for FREE while sipping on delicious beers or drinks. The open garage door concept is brilliant in the summer time and nice to be able to sit on the turf just outside the walls. We met some nice people, had fun playing GIANT Jenga and also playing on the HUGE lite brite board! Great place to socialize, have fun and get to be a "kid" again!

I really loved the games and the vibe of the place. Free games? Amazing!! I was greeted by Taylor with great service on Thursday. She gave me samples of beers without hesitation & made my group all laugh! Go in and see her!

Came here for a bachelorette weekend stop and it was awesome! The atmosphere was great and the arcade games we awesome. So many pinball machines. I had the drink called the Hulk Hogan and it literally had bomb pop inside it. They had a bunch of TVs as well, and apparently it is dog friendly because there were a couple doggos around. It got very busy but the bartenders we quick and efficient! Great place to stop by!

Awesome place to check out in Indianapolis. Great staff very friendly and kind. Cool place to play some classic video games and pinball machines for FREE! Grab a drink a bite and rock to some awesome arcade games. It looked to be a popular spot for sure. Definitely going back next time im in town.

Went twice over the course of our road trip. Was a bit crowded Saturday as expected but Monday was nice and relaxed. Great service from Maya. Will definitely return whenever in indy

This arcade bar is amazing. We are visiting from out of town and wish we had something like this near us.
Lots of great games, unique drinks, and only a dollar for the pinball machines.
Such a fun place

Excellent hang out fun spot in downtown Indy!

My latest visit to 16-Bit with a group of coworkers was a blast for all! Although the bar doesn't serve food, outside food is permitted, and there's more than plenty seats for patrons. Outdoor patio seating is also available with gas firepits for colder days. The beverage menu is mostly local craft beers on tap, and cocktails mostly named after 80s celebrities. A s'mores style cocktail was my choice, which was bold and rich with a touch of sweetness. Bartenders and staff were kindly and attentive to our group, serving up drinks and clearing finished glasses with upbeat demeanors!

A lot of classic arcade machines are featured like Galaga, Space Invaders, along with some lesser known, deep cut titles like Double Dragon 2 and Krull. Some TVs with plug and play consoles, like Nintendo NES and Sega Genesis, are also available. The skee-ball machines are a highlight when groups are feeling competitive. Making a message on the wall sized Lite Brite was my favorite way to play!

Great retro-styled arcade bar!

Great place to go for drinks and fun! Soooo many games to offer. They do not serve food, but the Tapp is right down the road and you can bring the food inside and eat.

We had fun here. There were so many drinks to choose from, but I had the R.L.Stein and loved it. Lots of games, even outdoor games and a slide. It's definitely a place for grown-ups who like a good time.

The weekly Monday night Mario Kart tournaments are a blast. They have themed shots named “Mario” and “Luigi” that are very tasty. The atmosphere on a Monday night paired with people playing and competing in the same tournament is honestly a unique experience. I’d highly recommend continuing the Monday night tournaments for any retro games and consoles. Come on out and give it a try! The winner of each tournament gets free apparel of their choosing from a selection of gamer themed t-shirts and other clothing.

We had 3 hours to kill before heading to the airport and this place was the best way to do it! Great drinks (highly recommend the Game Over and Magic School Bus... And the slushies), awesome staff (especially the bartender Rae!). Wish we had one back home.

Fun space with a good variety of games. Buy drinks and get games for free! It was relaxed and fun

Space is good for youth and middle aged. Fun, clean, good vibe. Jess is awesome. She greeted with a warm welcome and educated us on the. space

Cute place! We went during all star weekend so it became packed very fast lol. But cute bar, all the games are free. One issue we had was getting an uber, they for some reason can't go in front of the bar but if you walk to the corner they can get you. Definitely coming back when it's a bit warmer outside!

We went on a Saturday night I believe and it was packed. It's a cool place. Does not serve food but they do have themed mixed drinks that are pretty cool looking. I got the Lisa Frank. They have a upstairs and are dog friendly. It is a pretty cool arcade bar. We will for sure be back.
