Glitch Bar — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

I've been going to Glitch for over a year. Friday and Saturday nights get crazy, but early weekday evenings without too much of a crowd are fun. No waiting in lines for games, no obnoxious DJ music. The people who go here range from goths, nerds, e-gamers, to yuppies. A few good beers on tap, a lot more options in bottle or can. Cocktails are hit or miss. Don't be surprised if you find a tri-colored popsicle in one! That encapsulates the spirit of Glitch. They card, so no under-21s. My sole gripe is that some of the 80s and 90s arcade games don't work. Understandable, but frustrating. Will continue to go and have a good time.

Update as of Sept. 11, 2020

First time visiting since the pandemic shut down everything in South Florida. Glitch has converted from a barcade to a restaurant serving a brand new menu and a separate arcade entrance in which no food or drink is permitted. Unlimited games for $10.

The Peanut Butter Vibes Sandwich is a must. It fits the theme of a retro barcade perfectly and was the most unique menu item. Crunchy peanut butter, jelly, and bacon on pressed bread with powdered sugar generously drizzled on top. Falls into the 'you gotta try it's category for anyone not allergic or pork-free.

The John Rambo Meatball Sandwich was good, but met my expectations rather than wowed. If you like meatball sandwiches, you can safely give it a go.

Vodka Cran was on the weak side. There are tons of options for craft brew.

Not as fun post-covid due to the segregation of food/drink from the arcade, but the staff was friendly and professional. Everyone wore masks and the guests understand this place is doing what it has to to survive. They're following all local ordinances with regard to limited capacity, indoor/outdoor seating, masks, and public hygiene. Really rooting for...

A Varied Craft Beer Haven, but Mixed Pet-Friendly Vibes

I recently visited Glitch Bar, located just steps away from my apartment, and I'd like to share my experience. The bar caught my attention as it was nestled amidst a small marketplace where local vendors showcased their products to passersby. On a scorching day, I suggested to my wife that we find a refreshing drink, and that's when we stumbled upon Glitch Bar.

Without hesitation, I ventured inside and purchased two Orange Blossom beers, which were delightful. We continued exploring the market, and upon concluding our shopping, we decided to return to the bar. As soon as we entered, the bartender kindly offered water for our little poodle. However, another employee at the bar promptly told me to take the dog outside, fearing a mess with the water. I was taken aback. What initially seemed like a family-friendly establishment suddenly felt weird.

In fact, one of the other patrons remarked, "How odd! One of them offers water for your dog, while the other insists on taking it outside." Anyway, we proceeded to enjoy a few more beers, and I must admit that their selection is impressive. I genuinely like the place, but the incident with my furry companion prevents me from awarding it 5 stars. My rule of thumb is that if they don't welcome my dog, they don't welcome me.

However, I would like to give Glitch Bar another chance in the future because I'm genuinely interested in trying their food offerings. Despite the pet incident, I believe their diverse craft beer selection and potential culinary delights warrant a...

Ended up at Glitch Bar last night and I must say, What a place to be ! The whole experience is AMAZEBALLS.. when you first arrive, it's literally a little hidden "Gem". No fancy bars around, no restaurants directly across.. kinda of gives off nostalgia vibes in a wynwood twist. The place was packed but that's a good thing. Casual and Cool.. nobody was dressed to impress and I really Digged that. Bar was on point.. fast service, friendly servers and their drinks were good. My first one was " The Bomb " .. and it was just that! Who doesn't love a popsicle in their lemonade drink ?! There was a food truck out front, I didn't try it but many people were eating and I believe it was burgers and fries type of food. It looked super yummy ! Music was all over the place.. from the 80s to pop rock and you wouldn't believe me if you haven't been and seen with your own eyes HOW ROCKIN it gets.. it's a good mixed crowd .. so a lot of young and mid adults were in there .. singing along to every song and breaking it down. Old school games.. a ski ball section.. an air hockey game too. It was cool to see so many people enjoying themselves with the games. We played Mario Karts on an Nintendo 64 on like a TV from my childhood and I freaking loved it! Glitch Bar is def. A hang out you need to check out with your friends if you're down in the sunrise blvd / us1 area. I will definitely be coming back , I have a few games I didn't get to play...
