The 1UP Arcade Bar - Colfax

Tired of overcrowded dance clubs? Want to be entertained and boozed at once and play some nostalgic arcade games, all at once? Well, you've found the spot! The only complaint I have is that there isn't one closer to me in Atlanta! Great drinks and decent bar food, but the diamond in the rough of this dicey spot is the vast selection of every arcade game I've ever played, and possibly a good chunk of any ever created! What more can you ask for!?We played a few games of Jenga out back and that was mildly entertaining. The service is decent, a bit dry but we found that everywhere in Denver--no biggie! If you want cool nostalgic vibes and incredibly entertaining games and tasty drinks, I highly recommend this spot--we went 3 different nights and not once was it overcrowded, just busy!

Pretty cool arcade with a bar! Drinks were fun and named after video games. I got The Frogger which was really good and game with a gummy frog. I like that you can run a tab and pay for your arcade tokens on your tab. Nice since you don't have to feed money into a machine to get tokens. We had a lot of fun playing the games including a giant pac man game that we could play together. Really fun. Great pinball games and games I haven't seen in years like The Simpsons game. No food here but they do sell pizza from nearby that they keep in a warmer. There wasn't much in there when we were there and I didn't know how long it had been sitting there so I decided to pass. Bathrooms are unisex so you could have someone of the opposite sex in the stall right next to you. If that bothers you, hold it!Fun place, I would go again!

The 1Up was good. Most games are 25 cents but pinball is a dollar which blows. They have VS Packman which is fun. Bathrooms are all gender which is a plus

Large selection or arcade games and tons of pinball! I had a great time at 1 up. There were options to use coins or get a $20 coin bag from the bar if you did not have cash. I was able to play every game that I ever wanted coming to an arcade. The selection was very big. Most games were about 25cents and pinball was $1. They also had skee ball and many different racing games. I saw posters for a couple different tournaments that sounded awesome. The drinks were all on theme as well and they had daily deals. Saturdays they had $3 mystery shots. I tried one and it tasted like a strawberry jolly rancher.

Some of the best priced drinks in all of Denver. This is our go-to date night spot. We've never encountered any rude patrons or staff. Love it. Back patio in the summer is the best!

After our dinner date bae wanted to come here. The location was a distance from where we ate. There is parking on the street. But do be careful it's a sketchy area. And they do check id at the door. This was a first visit for me so bae showed me around and a few of this favorite old school games. They have a bar in the frost but we didn't partake this time. We went to the shooting games first, pinballs, skew all area. This was a separate area from the rest and there are gender neutral bathrooms. Ad another bar back there; although I didn't see any bartenders.Also there is an outside patio with outside games as well. Not too much seating outside I think I saw a bench. We be sure to check it out again.

Ok, this place is so fun! All the best games (classic ones like pinball, pacman, super mario, tetris...) will only run you $0.25-0.50 per game. The drinks are strong and the menu is long!One gripe -- some of the game controllers don't function optimally (not just the older games, some of the newer ones too) and that can take away from the experience.The vibe is really fun, and the place is designed so there was minimal elbow jostling on a Friday night. I saw people of all ages (21+) out there.Friendly bar service (you don't have to fight to get attention and eye contact).Really fun date night :)

Sketchy in general bc it's on colfax but much easier to park than the lodo location. Also much bigger so more games. 4 pop a shot and 4 skeeball stations. Even two areas with bathrooms. It's fun coming here!

Game prices range from $.25 for skee-ball to $1 for pinball. Also for $.50 you can try to win a White Claw!

Very VERY clickey; if you dont frequent here dont EVER expect to get a drink everytime i've tried we wait until we watch while the bartenders pick and choose who they serve; familiar faves to the front even if you are there prior; BS BARTENDERS
