Power-Up!: 8-Bit Reopens on August 8

Next weekend, the eighth day of the eighth month, that most fortuitous of times, beloved videogame-themed bar 8-Bit returns to the nightlife scene with improved digs. Signal the trumpets, summer birds laying down ribbons and flower wreathes at the corridor, a new era has begun, ladies and gentleman. Their regenerated and suped-up bar lands on 13 Beiluogu Xiang, putting it in prime real estate for the pre-game Dada crowd. Make sure to stop by and check out their upgraded collection of video games, comfort food, new roof terrace, and ... wait for it .... toilet! No more crazy Frogger dashes and brushes with hectic traffic every time you need to shrink back down to size.

As winner for Most Creative Bar Concept, for the Beijinger 2015 Reader Bar and Club Awards, 8-Bit has been a popular hangout zone since its emergence two years ago and has been terribly missed throughout the summer months. We’ve had multiple readers contact us directly asking if and when they intended to reopen. You now have our permission to polish those thumbs and get ready to compete in one of their many videogame showdowns.

Still not much is known about their new food menu, but we will keep you updated as more info is released.
