Lit Arcade Bar

Bartenders are super nice and knowledgeable. The games are old school arcade games, but you get a lot of bang for your buck in regards to the tokens/game cost.

Awesome bar. Cool atmosphere, tons of classic arcade games but also has pool and shuffle board. Just a cool hangout.

OMG... this place is so much fun. Arcade games for every decade. Throw it back or virtual for today. The service is on point and the music is great. Love it!

Tyler was a great bartender! Will definitely be back next time we are in town to visit.

omg this place was so awesome great prices for drinks great service. there's a bunch of arcade games. this was a great place to relax for a half hour or so

Cool little place. Tons of arcade games, pinball machines, and pool / shuffleboard. Good service with a good selection of drinks for most. Highly recommended.

Friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks, and fun retro arcade games and pinball machines to bring you back to to your childhood of the 80s/90s. Great place for hanging out with friends or even date nights. Definitely will return again.

I love it! We had a great time over at the Lit Arcade Bar. Good music, food, and a lot of fun!

Walked by on the way to dinner and decided to stop. Talina was most helpful in telling us where to get tokens and the drinks were delicious! We had a great time playing the arcades, pinball, the claw machines, Golden Tee, and Allstars basketball! Most importantly, the women's restrooms were some of the cleanest I've been in.

First time coming here while visiting, and wow I was blown away! It was really fun place to see and experience all arcade, pinball and more. It was a great experience! The drinks were great too and service was nice. I will definitely go back when I’m in town!

I thought it was awesome! I love the tokens, I hate having to use a card to keep track of my "credits." The atmosphere is clear and clean. The other patrons were nice and the employees were awesome. The bar tenders were so hardworking. Even with the pandemic going on I felt safe. Love it!

Bring on the Nostalgia! Super amazing atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the establishment was clean. This establishment is also 21+. Stopped in after a date night and had some fun playing some games. There are some classic games here as well, not just pinball type. After I whopped my significant other at game of pacman, we enjoyed a few dri ks then attempted to beat a few high scores. We failed miserably, but we definitely be back to try again. All games are play as you play so be ready to cash in on some tokens. There other fun competitions coming up like a spelling bee. Check them out on Facebook.

I had a party there Saturday & it was so much fun! The bartender was awesome, Marco the owner is awesome as well! I would recommend anyone to have a party here!

Man if you’re 20 something to 50 something this place is legit. Great place for fun and libations with friends.

Stopped in late on a Tuesday, had the best time. Great beer selection, amazing games. Bartender knew every game and was giving me great recommendations. She was super knowledgeable and a fantastic server. Kept my beer glass full and I had a wonderful night. Wish I was in Amarillo longer - a great place for a drink and a fun game!

This was a really nice and not very busy pinball and arcade bar. The games were in good shape and I really appreciated that they took quarters instead of some weird game card. The high scores on the pinballs seemed really low so I assume they reset these regularly. It was a good time and we would return if ever in the area.

Andrea was a wonderful bar person. She kept the tables very clean and the service was fast!! please notice how well attentive she is. I’m being so fr she’s a great bartender. i will definitely go back just because of her. 😎💗

Happened upon this place as it was close to The Barfield where I was staying on business. The games were mostly 50 cents with pinball $1 and a basketball game $1.50, so really good value! Awesome selection of nostalgic 80's - 90's games from Frogger and Galagla to NBA Jam and Mortal Kombat. Will be back next time we're back peddling cheese in the Panhandle!

We had a great time at Lit. They have lots of games and a full service bar with a TON of beer options. Oh yeah, THEY HAVE SHUFFLEBOARD! The bartenders were very sweet and helpful. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone! Also, if a machine eats the money and the game doesn’t start they will give you the money back so it’s no biggie !

Good place for a date or just out with friends

Love LIT! Really cool place to go with my gamer husband. I love pinball & he loved the Mortal Combat! The bartenders are super friendly & attentive. Nice clean establishment, one of our favorite places to get away any night of the week, super fun & very chill.

Nice place! Old school arcade games like Mortal Kombat and Pac Mac. They also have a huge selection of ping pong machines which was neat. Very crowded though. If you sit at the bar with machines behind you people stand right behind you. When you play pool it's hard to get a shot because of all the people that sit around the table conversing with friends. They play music, but it is so loud in there you can't hear it. We were there between 10 and midnight on a Saturday so it could be different on another night or times. The idea of arcade games and beer is pretty cool! We will try it again sometime.

I love this place and enjoy the place with a good crowd! Cameron is a rude bartender and quite a bummer from the earlier party, and there are also rude cholos getting in your face when it gets late. You might want to go earlier before 11:00pm.

Great way to spend an hour and have a drink. Makes a great date spot. Also check out the Pacman Chompionship game. Solid.

It was somewhat quiet at the time we went 4pm. something different, loved the pinball games:). Only problem was the drinks weren't tasty the coke was flat it seemed like. Cocktail was off as well I will drink beer next time. Had fun!

21+ up arcade bar. We were the only ones here in the afternoon. I only had a drink but they also have food. The arcade games were fun and nostalgic! There was an issue with one of the video games taking our quarters. The bartender helped us with that. If you love classic arcade games and a good drink in a relaxed atmosphere, this spot is for you!

My girlfriend and I love to go there, split a margarita, and play their old school stand up video games, especially mortal combat.

Fun bar! The drinks were reasonably priced and though there was no cover, the arcade did cost money to play. I think there would be a much bigger draw if there was a cover charge to enter and the machines were all free play. Otherwise this place is fantastic and I would love to come here again.

Staff are friendly. Maintenance seems to be low priority on most of the games though. The pinball games work as expected, but there are a few that will just eat your money. The Mortal Kombat games need their joysticks fixed. Go in with low expectations.

Fantastic experience. They have old school games, pool, and amazing drinks and prices. Major complaint one of the bartenders Cam is rude, and makes a point to agitate and belittle customers.

I love this place and the games but if a machine malfunctions and eats your coins don’t ask Henry for help. anyone else will help you or make it right but he’ll just be rude and let the machine eat your money. overall great experience except for him.

About a third of the pinball machines are broken, unfortunately. The other machines were great. They have a large variety of drinks. The women’s bathroom needed some cleaning. I was also unimpressed by the employees not wearing face masks during a pandemic.

Quite a few (25%) of the games are either totally dead or something is wrong with them. We ended up just playing pinball which was $1 to play! Sorry but we wont come back

Most of the games don't work unfortunately, and they can't do mixed drinks besides a soda mix. If you just want beer downtown this could be a real decent option. If you're looking for gaming in Amarillo it's hard to suggest.

Cool bar, but insane experience, I went here in the afternoon, bought some drinks, tipped, left, came back in the evening, and this 5'6 male bartender with scraggly facial hair wearing a black hoodie and black cap said to me "You didnt tip last time, I almost followed you outside just to confront you about it, you gonna tip this time?" And I legit did tip 5$, and i told this bartender that I did tip. Crazy that this bartender thinks he can just threaten to follow and I assume harass me cause he THOUGHT i didnt tip, when I did. Woulda left a 5/5 were it not for that bartender. Everything else about this bar is awesome, being threatened by a bartender is not.

A great idea for us old school gamers! I'm gonna tell you right now that the games aren't as well maintained as they should be and the video games cost 50 cents each and the pinball machines are $1 a piece, which is NOT mentioned anywhere. It was frustrating to put a quarter into a game and think that you lost it. Wasted a few dollars because IT ISN'T POSTED ANYWHERE THAT THE GAMES COST 50 CENTS!!!!!!!!! Same thing with pinball machines. There are a few that tell they are $1, but not on every machine, which leads to some confusion. After 30 minutes of that crap and losing money, we left. So, in conclusion, great idea, but be prepared to lose money, unless you read this review first.

New to Amarillo and was excited to go here, but got there and was surprised how empty it was. Quickly realized why: the games were pay-per-play. Good barcades I've been to in Dallas are typically unlimited play on a single cover fee. Kind of annoying to play pinball and be thinking about how much you're losing with each play. Also annoying to carry a pocket full of coins around. Hopefully they move to unlimited one day. Until then, not interested.

I walked in during a private party nobody was managing the door. The bartender yelled at me..” hey, you can’t be here” that was super embarrassing. I probably won’t come to this bar again.

Go to the venue after hearing fantastic things! I approach the door and produce my UK Driving Licence, get told that they don't accept any foreign ID's and to produce my passport, I said that's also British and then got asked to leave. Bit disappointed.

If you’re coming here just for pinball be ready to be disappointed. 3 of the main games I came to play at this location were broken. The games weren’t level and had bad tilts. Half the games I played had either bad flippers that wouldn’t make it up the ramps or switches that didn’t work in the game modes.
