The 1up Arcade Bar - LoDo

The drinks were way over priced and incredibly sugary. When you change your money, they give you tokens not quarters. So I have a purse full of tokens because I put a 20 in. The staff was not very friendly. It definitely needs a good cleaning. But the selection of games was fantastic. Most of them appear to be working. The bathrooms were not kept very well, however.

This place was a fun way to burn a couple hours. The drinks are fun premixed cocktails. The staff is friendly but feels like they are overworked. They have several of my classic games staples; Tron, TMNT, pinball, couple light gun games. They also had several 4 player pacman, which is great.You can put $20 in tokens on your tab (no less). The problem is that all the games take a single token and it's hard to go through that many by yourself. They do have a machine that does smaller denominations.

This worker ruined my experience. 1. Drinking on the job 2. on his phone the whole time 3. i noticed a machine was wobbly and when i let him know he laughed and then replied “they’re all wobbly bro”, then immediately went back in his phone. *photo attached for proof Other than that the games were classic and very fun.

I always love visiting 1Up! We went on a Friday night after a Rockies game and it was very busy. We still were able to play all the games we wanted, just had to wait in line for some of them. Good selection of games and a lot of different kinds of pinball machines. Even though it was busy, we didn’t have to wait too long to get drinks although it was hard to move around inside in certain areas. I personally enjoyed the Pac-Man machine which allowed 4 of us to play at once!

My wife and I love this place. We enjoyed playing Pac-Man for hours and playing some pinball machines. This is a must when coming to Colorado. They also have twisted tea on tap

Great people great fun the place great my issue is what happened last night. I got forcibly removed for no reason and when security and a cop came to remove me, zip tied my wrists behind me, and walked me out. I hadn't even been there for long enough to buy more than a beer. Appalling.

I had such a fun time here! It was my first time at 1UP and I definitely had my $20-worth of fun. I spent a good chunk of time at the iconic Godzilla pinball machine. My friend and I enjoyed duking it out at the basketball hoops, although if you’re unused to a crowd (everyone wants a turn with the hoops) looking while you’re playing, I’d stick with another station. I also got to play the classic Pac-Man and Street fighter games. I didn’t grow up going to the arcades, so it was a novel and enjoyable experience being here. The dive bar vibes were also on point. After we exhausted ourselves with the games, my friend and I hung out at one of their tables and chatted. I think it’d be a great place to hang out alone on a weeknight. I could see myself spending hours on one of those pinball machines with no care to the world. I like that it’s a place where you can spend time with friends but also a place where you can fly solo under the radar.

Had a great time here. Machines are are in working order. The fighting games certainly take alot of abuse from super wasted patrons. Nice beer and liquor selection. My favorite pinball machine was stranger things, but they have a-lot of amazing pinball and popular arcade. Cant wait to come back here on my next visit soon. Line to go inside was only a few minutes long. No cover charge.
