Pixels Pints & Bytes

Went here on a Monday night around 6 pm. There weren't many people inside which was nice. There's a downstairs area with some games you can sit in which was completely empty when I went and an upstairs area where more of the games were. I opted to sit upstairs. It was supposed to be happy hour when I was there; however I wasn't given a separate happy hour specific menu so that had me a little lost. The waiter even said it was happy hour time so I just assumed my drinks and possibly the food would ring up with a discount, but that didn't happen so that was definitely a let down for sure. I ordered their Saturday Night loaded tater tots (10/10) they were so good! I also got their Big Mic double cheese burger (6/10) it was very very dry. Def had to put a lot of ketchup because the burger itself was not juicy in the slightest. As for drinks, I ordered their Mango Man blue curaçao drink (9/10) it was really good, def would order again for sure. Overall, I love the whole vibe of pixels. Playing different arcade games, getting food and drinks, and just having fun was exactly what I was looking for. They even will play movies on the projector for you if you ask, the waiter had put on dead pool while I was there. As it got later into the night, crowds of people started to roll in and the place became busy. I'm for sure going to come back, hopefully I can find out what specifically the "happy hour" entails since there wasn't a specific menu for it and no details about it anywhere either. My overall rate of experience : 8/10

My boyfriend made a reservation for 3 people for trivia night. When we arrived and told them we had a reservation, we were told to sit anywhere. This was a bit confusing because at our usual trivia spot a reservation means having a specific table reserved. Maybe a reservation isn't required here? We arrived slightly before 7, but our server didn't come to our table until 15 minutes after, just after happy hour ended. She apologized for not serving us immediately because they were understaffed, which I understood. I asked her if we could still get happy hour because we arrived before 7, but she told us no because the computer would register it as after. I really hoped they had a way to override this and give it to us anyway (some restaurants do), but I'll give myself more time to catch happy hour next time. The atmosphere was overstimulating. The music was still played loud while the trivia questions were being read, and the arcade games added to the noise. It would've been better if they turned the music down or off at least while the questions were being read. The trivia host was kinda condescending, but I heard this was a guest host, so it's not always the same. Despite everything above, I had a good time and enjoyed my mango-man drink! I love fruity drinks and I can definitely see myself getting it again. My boyfriend enjoyed mine so much that he got one for himself too. We were in last place at the first half but finished 2nd after wagering all our points on the last question LOL. I think there's still room for improvement, but it was still a fun time and I will return! Especially because we now have $ to spend from our prize :)

What a cool little retro-meets-modern joint! I went here for a work event, but I'd never heard of it and was pleasantly surprised! Take a look at all the cool stuff, and the food and service are really great too! We had catered wings, Mac-n-cheese, and various cookies, which were all yummy! I

Pixels is a great spot. All of the food we've had has been good, they have a good beer list and lots of fun cocktails, and the vibes are cool. We recently sat at the bar and the bartender was so friendly and helpful. It's definitely a retro feel- you won't find video game console like at some other gaming bars. It's more of an old school arcade with things like pinball and pac man.

Great experience for the whole family. There is enough to do for everyone. Rent one of their booths and you can play many games like baseball, golf, hockey, etc.

The food was awesome. The kids had a great time playing the games. Best part was the bartender that waited on us. The service she provided was outstanding Saturday 7/27 @4pm, there was not a wait at all for a table. I did make a reservation prior to so wouldn't have any issues, if busier than usual. I must say she made the BEST drinks we had our entire vacation in that area. She also was very friendly and that meant a lot! Kudos to her!!!

Philanthropic restaurant who supports our sons' little league. Visit on a Saturday afternoon earned 4/5 overall. Some challenges with parking and 1 waitress for the entire second floor (she was hustling though). My sons were with me and enjoyed the old school video games while we waited (a long time) for food and drinks. Good variety of beverages. Food menu had surprising number of options; prices on par w Ghent area dives. Hot chicken sandwich was better than expected, though I envisioned more than 5 macaroni noodles when I read the description. Tots looked good but found to be meh.

I wish they had more dark beer options. We do have a lot of fun going there. My Kiddo loves beating Mom and Dad at Pac-Man Battle Royal. All the servers are great. Shout out to Amanda, who has served us several times. She is amazing.

Great service, good food and love the ambiance, very lively and loved playing the games

Love pixels! Great bartenders, love the 80's theme and the retro games. Excellent happy hour. The food is pretty good .. I'd say the wings are a great option along with the nachos. The hot dogs are huge! Service can be slow at times. Other than that, this is our go to!
