Bit Bar Salem

Got a sneak peek tonight at the new Bit Bar location in downtown Salem. Really like the new space and additional games. Was sad to see no qubert - one of my personal favorites. But it will be in rotation so I will be back to find it. Space at the location is great. Nice big bar and lots of space. More video games and now there is skee ball and air hockey. Waitstaff was great, even on this "preview" night. Sometimes things can be bumpy the first couple of nights. There is plenty of the old staff mixed in with some new staff. All super nice and knowledgeable. Food was slightly improved. But it's not great. It's ok to snack on something but much of the food is frozen. Bit bar if you are reading. Been visiting your restaurant since you opened. Love the games and fun atmosphere!! But so much of the food is frozen. And it really is too bad cause if you made even the burgers and a few things by scratch it would make this place incredible. If I could get a fresh (not frozen patty burger) made for dinner; me and the family would be in there weekly dropping money on food, games and drinks. Extra star for having: 1- gluten free chicken fingers! Yum!! I still do wish they made their own - honestly its not that hard- but for frozen chicken fingers they were really good. 2 - dedicated gluten free fryer!!!! Big bonus for this!! It is a total treat to have to not worry about having fries that have been cooked in the oil that gluten has been cooked in. All in all love it here! Will be coming back often.

Nice atmosphere, came here for a birthday party so can't speak to prices. All around, good wholesome fun for a wide age range.

Went here for a first date. Perfect spot. Amazing atmosphere. Cool decor. Great variety of music with the tinging of the pinball machines mixed in. Loved the retro ads and movie clips playing on one screen. Plenty of games, pinball, DDR, ski ball, air hockey, Photo Booth! Two large bar areas and tables to sit at. Had a friendly lady bartender. Spent $80 w/%20 tip on 4 margs w/top shelf booze. They were good. Live an hour away and I’ll def be back!

Games and vibes were great. We had a lot of fun here and came back almost every night during our stay in Salem. Didn’t get to try the food or drinks but went for karaoke night. Would recommend.

Food was so so but atmosphere and games were great. We appreciated the vegan options too. Dietary restrictions: Allergy in our group.

They have surprisingly good pizza like really good... Games are fun as well... Cool place... They just need to add Modelo and Don Julio to their bar and they're pretty much all set.

As a line cook and a kitchen manager of 12 years, I can tell you all of the food, here comes from a frozen bag. They're also the stingiest and town when it comes to mixed drinks. Service takes forever. Very limited games too.
