    Outside Bar
    Marqus R.

    It's great to see LIT Bar picking up in a location formerly occupied by so many others such as Sound, that basically catered to the urban group, Progressive, a predominately lesbian bar, and a new Chardees, a piano bar geared toward Senior gays. As Chardees really spruced the place up right, there are hardly any changes in décor or the bars themselves since it was Chardees. LIT doesn't appear to have a website of its own, using FaceBook instead. Other than games like "Bitch Bingo," card table games, the fun Boys With Boats Hump Days, happy hours and theme drinking events, LIT really has little else going for it. But what makes up for that is free parking and two bars. The outside bar is really great with a nice fun atmosphere about it, and serving up decent drinks. The inside bar is very nice too, unless a drunken staff member turns up the music to a deafening sound, which happened to me when I was last there, causing me to leave.

    LIT Bar has a nice gayborhood feel to it, especially inside. Nothing fancy, but not a dive. When four of us were here on a Sunday afternoon, most of the TVs were playing various sports. Currently LIT offers a limited menu of chips, dips, hot dogs and the like, along with great $10 deals on buckets of margaritas, rum, vodka, etc. The margaritas were too sweet/sour for our taste, but we liked the baby plastic pails, and we got to carry them home. The action is in the outdoor bar with a large patio where more TVs and music played. Due to current COVID-19 rules, everyone stays seated at tables and social distanced. This bar space has changed owners/names at least 4 times (Progress, Sound Bar, etc.) in the past few years. Best of luck during these trying times!

    A shot of Honey Jack Daniels poured at the Pub and other bars for $5-$6.   But NOT at Lit for $8 as reflected in 2nd pic

They had a great selection of drinks and arcade games. I loved how all you had to do was buy a drink and you got access to the arcade. If you did not buy a drink, it was $10 to visit the arcade. Overall it was a great deal. I will for sure be back!

I came here…read morewhen they first opened back when I was living in Flagler Village nearly a decade ago, and it's been a favorite ever since. The vibe is unmatched. Between the music, lots of 90s and 00s rock, which I love. The lineup of classic arcade games from the 80s through early 2000s, it's the ultimate nostalgia overload in the best way possible. That combo alone makes this place stand out. The setup is simple and perfect: buy one drink and you get a wristband for unlimited arcade play. I'm not exaggerating when I say I can spend hours here without even realizing it. We're talking Tekken, Street Fighter, Skee-Ball, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Killer Queen, Frogger, Galaga, Space Invaders, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros... and that's barely scratching the surface. It's such a fun date spot too! Super laid-back, interactive, and guaranteed laughs. Every time I come here, I leave with great memories. There's a huge parking lot in front and street parking all over so you're fine in that department. Glitch Bar forever!! If you're in FTL and haven't been yet, you're seriously missing out. 10/10 recommend!

The staff are super nice, and the bartender gave a great drink recommendation based on what I told him I was looking for. They have game consoles with an insane variety of games throughout the bar and seating area, which are all open to play for free. They have any game you could ever want-PlayStation, Nintendo, sega, etc, and board games to play as well. They have a ton of fun events every month: trivia, bingo, karaoke-always with different themes. If you're looking for something fun to do, I promise this is your place. A million stars!

Two of us ordered drinks right away and sat at the bar playing video games. The rest of our group was still deciding what they wanted, which we understood fell under the one drink minimum per person rule. One friend sat with us at the bar while we had our drinks and was told by the bartender that she couldn't sit there without purchasing a drink, so she moved. She then stood near our other friends, who were playing an arcade game, and they were told they could not play unless they each bought a drink. At this point, they stood behind us at the bar to look over the menu and decide what they wanted, but that didn't seem to matter. The bartender repeatedly returned and escalated the situation instead of allowing any reasonable time to order, stating they could get water if they wanted and that it did not have to be alcoholic. After only a couple of minutes, the same bartender came out from behind the bar again and said in a rude, condescending tone that they "don't understand... if they don't buy a drink, then they can't even be in the building." Our friends explained that we had already purchased drinks and were simply deciding what we wanted, but at that point, they were turned off by his behavior and no longer wanted anything--and frankly, neither did we. We cashed out our tab, finished our drinks, and left. We were already paying customers and would have ordered more drinks, but the handling of the situation made that impossible. Instead, the business lost not only our additional sales, but also several friends who were planning to join us and spend money. We are local to the area and not teenagers causing a disturbance, which is what the situation felt like when our friends were told to leave for no clear reason. I understand house rules like a one-drink minimum, but there is a professional way to enforce them. This wasn't it. Not everyone can or wants to order immediately--whether due to preferences, pacing, or dietary restrictions--and the lack of flexibility or basic courtesy was disappointing. Instead of encouraging guests to stay and order more, the approach did the opposite. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed my impression of the place, and I don't see myself returning. There are other spots in the area with a similar concept that offer a much more welcoming and customer-friendly experience, and I would recommend exploring those instead.

I was completely sober because I don't drink, so I was fully aware of everything happening around us. The treatment we received was extremely unprofessional. At approximately 1:57 AM, we witnessed the bartender kissing a girl over the bar, and around 2:11 AM, they were still being very physical and all over each other while working. We also witnessed that same bartender taking sips from drinks using the straw method, which was concerning to see while drinks were being prepared and served. We were also told that every single person at the table had to order a drink or we would have to leave, even though the other five people in my party had already ordered. I don't drink alcohol, but I felt pressured into ordering something anyway because I didn't want to ruin my birthday celebration or my friends' experience. What made the situation even more disrespectful was when we simply asked for cups of ice water, and the bartender made a sly comment saying, "you guys are drunk." Asking for water should never result in a sarcastic or judgmental comment from a bartender. I especially found it inappropriate considering I was completely sober. The waiter's attitude was also rude and unwelcoming. For a place that automatically adds 22% gratuity, I would expect professional and respectful service. Instead, we felt pressured to spend money while receiving poor service and unnecessary comments from the staff. This was supposed to be a fun birthday celebration, but the way we were treated left a terrible impression. There are plenty of other speakeasies where customers can spend their money and actually feel welcomed and respected. After this experience, I would rather take my business somewhere else.
