The 1up Arcade Bar - Colfax

I’ve been coming to 1up Arcade for 5 years, and it never disappoints. The drinks are affordable with daily specials that keep things interesting. There’s a great mix of classic arcade and newer games, so there’s always something fun to play. My wife is absolutely hooked on the pinball machines—she’d spend hours here if she could. Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just want a laid-back night out, this place is a Denver gem.

Always a good time. They keep this place well-maintained; machines are consistently functional/no tokens lost. Drinks and vibe are great!

I'm not sure how in the midst of the city where it may not be the "best" of neighborhoods these guys keep this place functioning well but they do. Well worth a visit

This place is an absolute blast! The arcade games are a total nostalgia trip, the drinks are on point, and the customer service? Next level. Seriously, every staff member we interacted with was super friendly, helpful, and clearly passionate about creating a fun vibe. I have to laugh though—they do not play around when it comes to following the rules. IDs? Checked like three times. I joked with my friends that we were entering a secure facility, not an arcade bar 😂 But honestly, I respect it. They’re just making sure everyone’s safe and legal, and I appreciate that level of responsibility. Met the manager and he was awesome. Took the time to explain how things worked, really made us feel welcome. You can tell he cares about the place and the people in it. We’ll definitely be back—and bringing more friends next time!

I must admit this location is wayyyy better than Lodo. Perfect adult first date or 1000th date lol. There’s way more options to play different game than the other location. Although, I still like lodo to get away from clubbing or just going to a bar dt.

Old school arcade with bar and limited food options with ice cream truck treats. Booth area for seated dining/drinking happy hour specials

I wish I could have taken pictures, I was with my friend to have a good time and have some fun and spend money, but they said my "foreign" ID was not acceptable even though Colorado Law says it is. Its funny it was acceptable enough for Utah but not for Colorado. Poor staff, untrained staff, They just wanted to ask for my passport. I'd give them 0 stars if I could.

My friend and I had a terrific time at 1UP Arcade Bar!! They have great drink options and so many games to choose from! The bartenders were amazing and so helpful to my friend and i. Also the bathrooms are super clean and they are also gender neutral. I had so much fun here!
