8 bit Brewing Company in Temecula

I must have different tastebuds than everyone else in Temecula and Murrieta. The mac n cheese was powdery. The hamburger was overly salty and bland. Not bad enough to not eat, but not very good. The calamari was ok except for some that were still cold inside. The sliders were not so good. The wife said the salmon sandwich was gross.The food is overly priced for what you get. If you’re into burgers, there are so many other places that are either cheaper and better or the same price and way better.Food aside, I liked the place. I’d come back for a snack or a beer. The staff were nice, but they don’t provide table service so you have to go to the bar to order and pick up food. Of course, they have no problem having an area for suggested tip. I paid tip, but I don’t think it’s quite fair to waiters and waitresses that work their butts off and receive the same tip.The atmosphere was awesome though. I really like the fire pits and all the nostalgic pinball machines and video games. They had a couple newer ones. All priced fairly to keep people coming in. My kids and I had a pretty good time, just the food and lack of table service is a bummer.If we were looking for a place to eat a meal, we would pass this place up. But if we wanted just a snack or beer and play some games, will probably go back.

We randomly found 8 Bit Brewing off Yelp since we were in the area just visiting for the day and needed some food. Big beer lovers so we had to stop in and check out what was offered here - we were extremely happy we did!- PARKING -Large parking lot, no need to worry about finding a spot here!- SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT -You order your beers and food at the bar. Theyll serve you your beer immediately, and will give you a buzzer when your food is ready for pick-up on the counter. If youre sitting inside, its self seating. If youre sitting outside, theyll guide you out. Theres a main dining/brewery side, and the other is the arcade portion. High tables and bar seating is still available on the arcade side, just limited. A good variety of old school games here, as well as some newer installations. I love their art wall that people have curated to their specific beers - super cool decor!- FOOD/DRINK -They ran out of Schnitzel, which I wasnt extremely interested in initially, but when I found out they didnt have anymore, I felt like I had to try it the next time I came back!Tater Tot Poutine ($16.50): I absolutely LOVE tater tots - sometimes more than fries! You dont see Poutine offerings much at places, so we hopped on this opportunity. Everything was absolutely amazing, from the crispy tots, to the decadent Duck Confit Gravy, and the cheesy Mozzarella. Really great portion to share as well!Animal Style Brat (~$15?): Exactly what it sounds like. Think In-N-Out Animal Style Fries but on a Bratwurst. Really great snap from the brat, and the flavors mixed perfectly together. Fries on the side were nice and crispy - but not as crispy as the Tots!Mario Tart: BooBerry Boneyard ($8.00): If you like Sours, youll love this!!! Deliciously tart and sweet, super easy to drink - maybe TOO easy; I drank this way faster than I should have!Cyberfunk ($8.00): I dont usually like DIPAs but make it a Sour DIPA with these flavors and Im all for it. A great flavor from start to finish.8bit Michelada (Taster): Not my favorite rendition of a Michelada. I felt like there was more Tomato taste than any beer or their serrano mix taste. I did appreciate they were willing to serve a taster portion of this though!- OVERALL -A great spot to hang out, grab a beer, eat some grub, and play some games. Lots of large tables outside for your bigger parties, or smaller tables for a nice date.

This place is great with a good assortment of their own beer along with some seasonal selections and a nice food menu to choose from. Everything from burgers, salmon sandwich, salads appetizers and more.Great atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. You can sit inside and order yourself or sit at tables in their table service areas

Was a good chill spot, enjoy the atmosphere. Staff was on it. Only complain I have is that they dont have a bar in the game area. Overall a good spot.

The customer service was really good, we had questions regarding the salad dressing and they responded with a sample. The staff were super friendly.I haven’t had that bad of food in years. The smash burger wasn’t even close, and meat was dry and tasteless. Even If the burger was even a cheese burger is was horrible. Cesar salad was fair, but the salad wasn’t dresses and no Parmesan cheese.The games looked like fun and the place had a good vibe.

Very cool place to hangout. Great good, beer was ok, and overall great game atmosphere with their arcade. Very detailed place. I recommend the grilled cheese!

Good food and beer selection here. The tap list is always changing. The arcade has plenty of games to play as you hang out and enjoy your beer.

Great beer and great food! I recommend the short rib quesadilla!!! 👌

Very impressive brewery in Temecula. We came to do the hot air balloon in the morning and went to brunch and then came here for a glass of beer. It’s our first time here. Their Jurassic Tart is amazing! It is so smooth and refreshing, you can’t tell it’s more than 9% alcohol! It will catch up on you. We loved it and we got a 4-pack cans to go.

A really fun brewpub in Temecula that offers great food, good beers, and has an arcade full of classic games. A lot of the appetizers are actually rather filling and go great with the beer. The outdoor seating is especially nice and cool vibe with natural gas heaters everywhere. They arcade is fun kids but especially has a lot of nostalgia for adults who grew up with arcade games in the 90s.

Great vibes, we came for the sour beers and they were great. A lot of seating and the server was very nice! Coming back for sure

First time here and pretty impressed. Lots of seating indoor and outside with fire pits on some tables and outdoor heaters, tons of video games inside, TVs showing games. And if course plenty of choices of beers on tap. The michelada was good, but the Capri fun was my favorite. We ordered wings, chicharrones, and fresh greens salad with salmon. Everything was really good. Well be back.

Great food and beer! Awesome environment and the game room you need to check out. Old school games and pinball machines.

Phenomenal food, Bianca was a terrific bartender and waitress, the arcade has the best games, etc. Cant wait to go back. I would recommend asking for the burger to be slightly less cooked, but thats really the only criticism I have thats not "most excellent."

8-bit has The Best Sours and All other Great Varieties to choose from. We Ordered a bunch of Sour Ales and for Food we Chose the BBQ Pulled Pork Mac n Cheese, Delicious. Chicken Wings with Lemon Pepper Dry Rub and Sweet Chili Glaze, Super tasty and The Vegan Chicharones, Amazing. I had a Great Time at this Brewery.

I just moved from San Diego and Im so happy that the first Brewery I tried was a big surprise...in a great way. So happyI highly recommend this place.Amazing food, CHECKGreat tasting beer, CHECKWine Selection, CHECKFamily friendly. Cant wait to go back

Amazing atmosphere and it gets better with each visit! We love their cool art and lights but most especially their huge arcade with all the good retro games! Their Beer is so good, something for everyone (I love the soursand they have an actual selection of vegan meals that are so yummy! Id love to see gluten free bun options but super happy with all of our visits.

The atmosphere was great. Food and beer were excellent. Such a nice and fun place to visit with your family. Very Kid friendly.

Beer review. Dog friendly. Kitchen on-site.I tried 2 of their stout (over 10% alcoholand both are very thick and overly sweet. Weird texture. However, their hazy IPA is delicious. I had the one with Amarillo & New Zealand cascade hop. Its fresh, creamy and hoppy. Definitely need to improve their stout. Friendly staff. Would love to visit again and hope they can improve their stout (or just dont serve any and continue doing what they do best with IPA).

What a fun little brewery! Great beer, good appetizers and a game room.... What more could you want. They have a great collection of old school video games that I grew up playing as a kid.... Took me back to the good old days...lolCheck it out, you wont be disappointed

Delicious craft beer and a great gastropub style food menu. Two outdoor seating areas, one of them in the front with nice gas fire pits, the other in the back with high top tables under a tent canopy. They serve 4-packs and crowlers to go, and growler fills. Love this place and I try to visit as much as I can.

Very friendly staff, great beer, awesome food! Fun arcade games available while waiting for our table.

Always a good choice of beer. Fries are legit af!!! Was a little disappointed by the chicken hoagie sandwich. Id recommend the wings, tots, definitely fries, and chicharones. Love that you can bring the kids and even the family dog.

Today we went and had a FAMILY dinner at 8bit brewery! There’s lots to do here!First off, I was a little disappointed that they took away the little fake grass area that the kids can run around. I was really hoping my kid can play there but it was fine!I got the salmon sandwich which I thought was really good but felt like there was too much bun to salmon ratio.My husband is a burger connoisseur and he said the smash burger was on point! 👌👌The sauce that they gave with us really was the cherry on top though! He dipped the burger in the sauce with every bite.The portions for the kids sliders was pretty large and my son devoured it (at home obviously cause he was too distracted and wanted to go pay in the arcade).They do have Chicharrón for you to order as a side but it’s a huge portion! So only get one and share!They do have a pretty decent selections on beer whether you want a light, sour, IPA, or if you are into the seltzer…We had a blast afterwards walking around and playing the games at the arcade (and you can bring your beer in there while your child runs around!!!). Bonus points right there!

This place was such a great place to hang out. The food was amazing bar food and the Burgers was unbelievably delicious. But...OMG the beer was great! They had so many to choose from and they have 5oz tasters so you can try everything. But for me their Redpool Red Ale is so delicious. Also, their The Black Garden is 1 of the best dark beers (technically its a black lager)Ive had and its only 4.2%. The people were so helpful and very friendly and their service was pretty quick. Barely noticed that they were understaffed (they are hiring). My only regret about the place was that they are not closer to home...but maybe it may be better for my wallet that they are not closer to home because if they were, Id be there every other day. This will be a place Ill come back to whenever Im in the area again!

Had the 8bit Michelada and it was delicious. I suggest the totter tots & wings. I do wish they expanded the appetizer menu. Although what they have is already really good.

Good atmosphere. Good vibes. Great staff...nice glassware and merch. Nice Outdoor patio area...pet friendly. Delicious dinner foods! Conveniently located right off the 215/15 freeways in the Murrieta/Temecula area. Perfect for those passing through the Inland Empire from SD or vice versa.

Draft funk and Save Point local brew with poutine, artichoke hearts w/goat cheese, homemade chicharrones, 4cheese sourdough grilled cheese and fries and to top off with dessert pear infused with burgundy, fresh berries, basil and vanilla ice cream. AMAZING!!!! 🍻🥔🍐🍨🥪

Good beer and the service was great. Food was comfort style food and tasty. Waitress said the arcade will be open next week! Its a video game themes brewery which is awesome!

8 Bit Brewing Company is a dog friendly restaurant/brewery in Murrieta, CA.The menu features comfort food that is pleasing to fill up on. There are a variety of beer and wine selections to go with the food choices.Staff here are friendly and served orders quickly. It was not crowded when I arrived at opening, (11:00 AM).It had been raining and most of the seats were wet. Drier seating was available in the beer garden.

Stop in for a few beers and decided to eat as well. Theyre are done new menu items so we had the prosciutto smash burger and holy hell it was wonderful. Good beer is always expected here but I was pleasantly surprised by the food this time.

There is a great laid back vibe here and friendly servers. The outdoor space is nice with plenty of seating, bowls of water for pets and cornhole.The fries are BOMB. Got a burger and fries plus mac and cheese and oh my goodness soooo delish!

LaLaLaloved the cerveza aka beer. the taste, notes and aroma of the beers I had were nothing short of amazing. I cant remember the last time I went to a brewery and liked every beer I tried. I highly other craft brew connoisseurs. Also Lets talk food. Might be on the pricey side but the taste was also exquisite and on point for me. I started with a salad and ended up with a meaty hotdog that paired so well with the brews I had. hope your experience is as fun and tasteful as mine. Had lunch with the fam perfect for parents, the atmosphere is so chill and inviting. Staff was professional and sweet during covid.

Great atmosphere, great friendly staff. Beers were easily identifiable since the menu labels lists exactly whats in it and thats the flavors you get. Would come back when I get the chance.

THE BEST food, beer that will render all others obsolete, and seriously will make you dislike all other beers. Great ownership and incredibly friendly staff. This place is A MUST for any out of towner! I promise, You will NOT find a better brewery experience from top to bottom.

We were staying nearby and came here off a random choice. We were not dissapointed... To start, awesome beer choice, something to please all beer lovers. The food was amazing, and the portions! I ordered the short rib quesadilla with a beer flight and was happy as a clam. Pet friendly on the patio when its open. Good for medium sized parties or small gatherings. Would recommend!

Delicious food and beer! Love the ambiance and atmosphere. Ordered the Hefe for Dead, on point flavor!! Had the BBQ Pork Mac & Cheese: OMG! F***ing Bomb. Chips and salsa are addicting and the chicharones are freshly made: stick crackling fresh

GREAT BREWS AND GRUB!! This brewery is still in my top 5 list, so much that every time I return to California I make it a point to stop in and have the Mario Kart brew, poutine tater tots, and their signature salad. The salad is very filling- an entire plate with fresh mixed greens/basalmic dressing/dried fruit- and you can add a protein if you wish. The service is quick regardless of how busy they are. They also have an awesome outdoor space with heaters and can accommodate large groups. Check them out!

Great looking space w/ some awesome logo/can art. They had a bunch of options on tap, and I went with a pretty standard Hazy DIPA. It was juicy and flavorful. The outside area was nice looking w/ lots of seating. The food looked great when it was going by us, but I didnt get to eat any of it.The beer overall was good though and I think it would be a great spot to have as your go to beer spot.

The best tasting room in the Temecula area. Love the artwork and video game theme. Great beers and a very good food. Spacious with indoor and outdoor seating areas.

Came here over the weekend with my family. It was a really great environment the food was great the beer was cold. Given him for Star because I feel that they should have a bigger selection of food, but nonetheless it was a really great experience plus their dog friendly. I will be back

Came here on a Monday afternoon and it was quiet but a good amount for the time and day. I was not expecting much since I only heard of it by looking up breweries that were open (it was around 2pm)but at first sight from outside I got excited. It was a nice looking and large spot with nice ambience, decor, and friendly warm greeting. The beers were awesome with cool names and logos. The food was also excellent. Surprised at the micheladas too. Definitely one of my favorite breweries and restaurants now. Also where are the arcade games at? 🤔

Ordered quite a bit of food and a lot of beer. The waitress was so kind and quick. The place was noisy but good. They have 3 TVs playing an array of sports. The seating is really good and we were seated pretty quickly. Beer is amazing! And food was so good! The food is paired really well with beer so everything fit together almost perfectly!!!!

OUTSTANDING presentation of the food. See my photos for the Ahi Salad, grilled cheese, brat, and duck tater tots. Excellent job with plating and the food tasted just as good as it looked.Food came out at a reasonable time and customer service was on point.I would definitely recommend for anyone in the area.Also, yes, they take reservations

Such a cool place. Beers are quite tasty, all named after a video game. Thats what the crowd came in for. Found my first fav sour beer. Our server wasnt as attentive, but the experience overall was good. I got a burger, wife got the sushi grade salmon sandwich. Both were pretty good with a side salad. The light dressing salad was a great option with the hearty burger. They have a tater tot poutine with duck confit but ran out of duck. Wings were good but needs a kick! We got 2 32oz sour beers, in their crowler. Would like to go back for a growler. Tasters are $2.50 for 5oz pours.

Stopped by to grab a beer on my way south to San Diego. Great spot for locals or anyone looking for clean good quality beer. I only tasted a few but the were well done. Will absolutely be back next time Im in Temecula.

This place has amazing beer and even beer names. Haze Invader has to be one of my favorites on the menu. Great service, great atmosphere, and good food. Went on a Sunday when it wasnt to busy

Quick service, great food, good beer! That is a winning combination in my book. The kids Mac and Cheese was awesome. The burgers where delicious. The truffle fries were good and the tater tots were even better.

Place is awesome! Service was great and its dog friendly.They have a pretty solid menu that has a little something for everyone. Definitely try the salt n pepper fries!All the beer were pretty tasty and the waitress knew about all of them and had great recommendations.

Tl;dr. Great food, great beer, friendly staff and fun casual atmosphere.We came for lunch before hitting a few wineries in the area. We sampled 8 of the beers on tap (mostly the SO). They do have a couple of Unruly wines on the drink menu and Angry Orchard cider. There wasnt a bad beer in any of the ones we tried. The SO says a couple he thought were over hopped for the style of beer but understandbly so because we live in Southern California. He was very impressed with the Super Saison Vegeta and Meka Girl (session IPAand Up Up Brown Brown. He wanted to meet the brewer he was so impressed. Everything else we tried was pretty spot on for style according to him who knows these things (tasted 1605 unique beers on Untapped and is a brewer himself).For appetizers we ordered the chicharrones and Southwest artichoke dip. The chicharrones were still popping as they came out. Excellent if you like chicharrones. The dip was fantastic and I would recommend that if you plan on sharing you might want to order more than one. ;)For lunch we ordered the Poke salad and Chipotle bbq pork sandwich. Again, excellent food. The salad was crisp and the tuna was plentiful with a lovely dressing. The sandwich was just what you want when you order bbq pork with a lovely Cole slaw on top. The Caesar salad on the side was good and the croutons were excellent. I almost picked them all out and just ate those. In the end we couldnt finish everything and took food with us.Well definitely be back.
