Regardless, I was very pleased with the service tonight. My husband has an allium allergy and the team were helpful in finding something he could enjoy after learning there was garlic powder in the original dish he wanted. The kitchen even sent out homemade chips when his dish took a bit longer than mine. My burger was delicious and I always appreciate a hand cut french fry. Nothing fancy, but very well done with thoughtful service.

While this location is located about a 15 minute walk from the main downtown area of Salem, the walk is pretty easy. We got there around 2:30 3 o'clock on a Saturday afternoon and the location was fairly steady. They did have live music as well. We both ordered the honeydew slushy and absolutely loved it. I wish there was a way to be able to ship it to Florida as it was so amazing. I also got a flight so I could try some of the new ciders that I hadn't had before. Or all they were good I think my favorite was the broken heart and the Collab for the dog adoption.

I'll start with the good. The ciders were yummy! We got a flight of 4 for $20. They have a lot of…read morefun flavors, and one for the current zodiac. It seems they rotate them pretty frequently. The bad- the atmosphere. Maybe we got them at a bad time, but it was DEAD inside. The floors and walls were cement, it felt like we were drinking in an unfinished basement. If the place had some more decor and a few more patrons we might have stayed longer. But we drank our flights fast and Ubered out. The bar is a bit far from downtown. It's walkable, but after two days of 20k steps an Uber was in order.

We decided to just have appetizers and they were amazing. The star was by far the grilled cheese appetizer. It was amazing!! I did expect more game options but we still had a blast playing and I discovered I'm pretty good at pinball! The biggest highlight however was our waitress. I could have heard her wrong but I believe she said her name was Story. She was very personable, polite, and attentive. She was getting us a second round of drinks and accidentally took my husband beer that was still 1/4 full. As an apology she brought us more game tokens. Most servers wouldn't even acknowledge it happened. As if we weren't already having a great time she offered us a Valentine's Day fondue box on the house! This was an outstanding experience and really made our Valentine's Day special! Thank you Bit Bar, we will definitely be back!! * I'd also like to add their prices are really decent too!
