Bart

Stopped in last night. They have about ten classic arcade cabinets and a pinball machine. It looked like a lot of college aged kids. It didn’t look like the best part of Orlando, and it definitely isn’t a typical tourist stop. I would only recommend this place if you’re looking for an arcade in the downtown Orlando area.

I have heard great things about Bart and finally had the chance to check it out!
There were plenty of beer options, but opted for a glass of Cabernet instead. I’m not sure what brand it was, not the best wine I’ve ever had, but it did the job. I think Bart is mostly known for their beer selection anyway.
The space is on the smaller side and there aren’t too many tables. It’s smart to start your night there while it’s early.
The arcade games are so fun. There are some that are two player so you can challenge your friends in a duel. I didn’t play all the games, but from what I could tell, they are all free! I think they switch out the classic arcade machines every once in a while to keep some variety. There are bottle and glass holders in between each arcade game so that you can be hands free. Such a good idea.
I will be back and beat that high score on Space Invaders! I promise you.

Love this place! They have a few arcade games and pinball machines to keep you and your group occupied while you throw back a couple great craft beers. I know that Player 1 is bigger and flashier, but it’s also frequently obnoxious and way over crowded. BART is just right in my opinion. The bartenders are nice and knowledgeable. The beer list is good, although the only downside is they don’t have anything on tap. This is one of my go-​tos that pleases the whole group when I go out. I’ll be back for sure!

One of my favorite places when I visit Orlando. Thanks to my sister and brother in law for showing me this gem. Definitely coming back again!

Chill place to hang with old school arcade games, which are free to play! Not a full bar, but they sell a lot on interesting and non common beers that aren’t easily found around town.

Ive been here twice and it is starting to become my favorite place to go on Mills. There is a bartender named Matt and he will ask what type of flavors youre into and he will set you up with some beers you would have never considered. The games are a bunch of fun but the people that you meet at the bar make it a great experience as well.

I’ve been coming to Bart for the past 3 years and I’ve never been disappointed at their tap selection which has only grown with time. At any given time they’ll have at least 25 beers on tap consisting of many styles, and lately they have consistently been offering casks, nitro, and even red and white wine on tap as well. On top of the impressive tap list, they also have a pretty respectable bottle selection as well if you’re willing to pay a premium. I haven’t tried their spirits, but they also have a wide selection to choose from.
In my opinion when it comes to food you should come to Bart expecting snacks or a light meal, though they do seem to offer more substantial servings on their menu now. The quality of the food items that I have tried has been good, and the value is alright. Still, if you are very hungry or if you want a bargain for food I wouldn’t necess.

This place is an absolute blast! If you looking for something more enjoyable then your average bar scene THEN YOU HAVE TO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! There are 10 to 15 old school arcade games all around the pub and the only games you have to pay for are the two pinball machines if you choose to play them. There’s something about drinking craft beers and playing arcade games that screams America to me. I love the feel of this place. Really is a little treasure on Mills!

This place is ok, it’s just kind of small and full of hipsters. Fun to come to, but not on a regular basis and not for a long period of time.

Why I didn’t give them 5 stars off the bat befuddles me but it’s about damn time they get the recognition they deserve. Bart continues to be my go to bar for the past two years as somewhere to relax after work, have a delicious beer and hang with some of my favorite locals living the nerd life. The best part over this time is the consistency– same awesome bar tenders, keep’in it real and reliably stocking your favorite drinks. You also never know if it’s going to be a quiet night of great conversations or a group on a pub crawl comes barging through (not that we’ve ever done that ;) but the staff is more then ready to handle any group and always feels the more the merrier! They also continue to support other local businesses like Haute Noodle Pop-​up and Day Dream Pizza and all the local art rotating on their walls (which now cover mine as well). Apparently my boyfriend like’s Bart so much he has to bring a piece of it back home every time he leaves haha

This is the place you go to for great bear, arcade games and some good laughs. They offered a variety of imported beers which taste amazing. The location is really small and kind of hard to find, but once you do, you’ll have a really good time! The walls have beautiful paintings for sale, very dark and eerie paintings. The best part of the place are the nostalgic arcade games. It really make you feel like a kid again (especially after a couple of drinks, hahaha).

Small, geeky, and artsy, with a solid beer menu and cider options. Among the growing pantheon of nerdy bars in Orlando, Bart is a worthy place to spend an hour or an evening drinking, playing classic video games, and chatting. Arcade games are free, except for pinball. I imagine it can get pretty crowded and loud at times, but there is a nice range of seating for people who want to chat, and a lovely array of (presumably local) art. Well worth a visit!

Went here for the first time the other day and I was surprised how much fun I had. Got a nice craft beer that the bartender helped me pick out then played arcade games for another hour and half. Didn’t know any of the games they had but I learned quickly and had a blast! I like that they change out the games and they are FREE! Will definitely go back for a chill night.

Love this place! Quirky and fun. They have vintage arcade games and showcase local art work. They have a few tvs and show movies all the time. They only serve bottled drinks (beer, cider, wine) but all the drinks are good. Service is great and they know about their alcohol. If you’re hungry, they get food delivered there or they usually have a food truck right outside.

A sweet little beer bar near the Orlando Science Center.
If you like craft beer, this is a good place to go.
If you like old school video games this is the place to go.
If you like both of those things, this is definitely the place to go.

Bart is fun. The location is right and the beers are good. Combine that with free arcade games and cool art and you have a winning location.
I think their beer selection is good — not extensive — but they always have a good selection and honestly, they don’t need a huge cooler because they seem to change them frequently enough.
The bartenders are friendly and aloof at the same time which is an intriguing combination.
I’ve only been once on the weekend when it was busy and have been several times when we were the only people in the bar. That makes it fun. The other patrons who do come in seem to always be regulars. I like that BART has a devoted following.
All in all there’s nothing wrong with BART and it’s a hip, unassuming place to just be yourself and either make new friends or keep to yourself — no one is judging!

Wonderful place to enjoy a new drink! Great art on the walls, and awesome addition of game machines. Apparently they rotate them around every so often, the majority are free with only a few needing quarters. Barkeep was super friendly and helpful in finding something new to drink. I’d totally go back!

Delicious craft beer and video games from the 80s! How can you not fall in love with this bar?! The service is excellent. Bartenders are very friendly. They only offer bottled beer and have a pretty good selection.
The arcade games change out so there is always something new to try and they also have pin ball. I believe they are all pretty much free except the pin ball. They have two large bathrooms that are kept very clean.
Lots of comfortable seating at the bar and they also have a couple of small couches. Two large flat screen tvs on the walls playing 80s movies or animé the times I have been there.
The walls are covered with local art that is for sale. Often times there is a food truck right outside that you can get a bite to eat at since they do not serve food here. I love going out for a couple drinks on mills and this is a favorite spot of mine!

I have a confession to make.
Before going to the Bart, I’d actually never set foot in an arcade.
I know. You don’t have to say anything.
Now, I’d like for you to imagine Rapunzel in Tangled. Do you see her in your mind? Well, remember that scene after she’s left the tower and how she’s running around all crazy?
Yea. Congratulations, you’ve just basically envisioned my first time at the Bart.
Pacman, Galaga, Centipede, Q*Bert, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Burger Time — so much more! They’re all there; arms wide open, welcoming the prodigal daughter back into the fold.
And if it didn’t seem awesome enough already — they’re all free to play (except Mortal Combat). That’s right. Free. Is there a more beautiful word? Ahem, ‘High Score’. :P
Their beer and wine selection is pretty decent. One of the better selections of craft beer I’ve seen; and the prices aren’t half bad either. In April, they actually had a special for Mystery Thursdays, where beer was only $ 2. I don’t actually know if it’s still ongoing, but that’s still pretty awesome for them to run specials like that.
Amazing staff, as well. Joe, our bartender, had to be one of the friendliest bartenders ever. He was constantly smiling and laughing; and though the crowd was picking up, he talked to us and didn’t make us feel at all uncomfortable or rushed.
It’s places like this that make me love Orlando. Forget about the parks, this is where I go for some relaxing fun. With the chill atmosphere, awesome beer, local artwork, and old-​school arcade games — what more could you ask for?
My only tiff? It can get a bit crowded on busier nights and there really isn’t a lot of places to have a seat and chill. It might also seem a little hectic if you go in a large group since, eventually, everyone is going to splinter off and play the games.
But overall, I love this place, and I’ll definitely be back. :D
