The 1up Arcade Bar - Greenwood Village

Excellent service and great drink choices! The wings were really delicious and cooked to perfection! So many retro games memorabilia all over the place! I love it! Definitely enjoyed the 1up IPA!

For Barcade's you can't find better examples than what Jon & Jordan have created. Usually the machines are a second thought or decorations. These machines are well maintained and cared for. Well worth a visit!

Had a blast! We regretted eating before we came, but we will be back often. Such a perfect place for a weekend night.

Lived here for years but this was my first time going here. Atmosphere was great. Staff was amazing. Food was delicious. Tried multiple itens and everything was super. The Frogger drink was spot on.

I just love this place, it's so cool to come with $10 and basically spend 2 hours playing a ton of games and pinballs. The guys at the entrance checking ID can be good or bad, in our case yesterday evening he was very nice! They always have great deals and happy hours during the week.

Love this place. Billy, a manager (or should be one), has greeted us at the door the last few times we've come in & he's super nice & informative on what's new & how to buy coins & stuff. I love the variety of games they have. They even have a "win a white claw" claw game; which I played & won 1 on the 1st try. You have to visit the bar to redeem & show ID of course, but what an awesome concept! Definitely something the competitors don't offer. We spent a good amount of time here playing all the different g

More bar space than play room. Playing pinball is fun but tight space so everyone bumps into you while playing or has a mini drinking party next to you while trying to play. Soda was 5 dollars per drink but free refills. Plenty of bar staff but we stood there for a good amount of time as they talked to each other and ignored you. I believe one male individual might be an employee there because during the night He was loud, drunk acting, dancing? Next to you as you tried to play like he owned the place then

This was my first time to actually go to a bar and the main purpose was to socialize and make friends. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were good. The food was great too. While I couldn't really make any friends or socialize (that's just me being socially anxious and there were already huge groups), I talked to a bartender which was huge leap for me. I may visit again. Thank you.

1Up Arcade in Greenwood Village is a gamer?s paradise! With a fantastic selection of classic arcade games and pinball machines, it's a nostalgic trip back to the '80s and '90s. The lively atmosphere, friendly staff, and great drink options make it a perfect spot for both casual hangouts and competitive game nights. A must-visit for arcade enthusiasts! ???????

Been here about a dozen times since I moved here. Great for pinball, good for booze, but most games are neglected and have broken parts. Every fighting game I tried had either jank joysticks or buttons that just didn't work. Ice Cold Beer (the old steel ball balance game) doesn't work half the time and that's the main reason I go. Even the new Zoltar doesn't spit out fortunes. Donkey Punch is a tasty af drink though.

They had great games but the older guy checking IDs when you walked in was kinda an ass. My license was expired and I was holding the paper in my hand to give to him but he looked at my ID and said it was expired and had major attitude. I said yes I know and continued to hold the paper in front of his face until he took it. Learn customer service!

Great food, fun atmosphere, awesome games! I took my family here to celebrate my husband?s birthday. The food was delicious. They have great fries?a must for any place I want to return to?and a donut burger that was shockingly delicious. We love pinball, so we played plenty of unique and exciting pinball games. They have a wide variety, and the games were well worth the coins spent. My kids loved racing and other arcade games. Skee-ball is always a classic! This is a super fun and unique spot for familie

5/5 - they check your library card to make sure the water is working - speaking of which, parking lot is slanted a bit, hurt my elbow walking to the place. 7/10

The games are fun. The place is kind of dirty. The worst thing was the music was too loud! This was in the afternoon. I couldn't hear the game I was playing over the music. We did not get to stay for dinner and try the food, but it looked and smelled good.

Was turned away at the door with a 23 yr old and a 12 year old. Guy lied about the age policy when on the website it states that under 21s can come in with a 21 year old before 7 PM. He made up a rule that "the oldest member should be 10 years older than the rest of the party." So can my 12 year old sister enter come in with a 23 year old alone but not when I'm also in the party? There are a bunch of little kids running around in the place as well. Doesn't make sense. If you are going to have a different po

Always love some arcade! Love their selection of games, staff are always friendly. Prices of food and drinks are more than fair. They have very good happy hour deals as well!

Really cool place to play pinball and some other old school games. All games are in great condition and they are only $1.00. The food was great we had some wings and fries. Drinks are great and I love the bartenders they were so nice and helpful. I recommend this place 10/10

I loved this spot, drove all the way to Denver for Dave and busters, and did not like it there. On the way back to Colorado Springs, we stopped by to check it out it has tons of machines and great drinks. I found my all-time favorite Marvel vs. capcom clash of superheroes! The only drawback and why I rate 4 stars is because the 2 restrooms are unisex and open, so my girl is in the restroom with guys. That's a personal opinion, nothing more take it as you want, surprisingly the females tend to go to the righ

It's frustrating and inconsistent. If little kids are allowed in with adults, why not with a responsible sibling who's of age? We came early to avoid the late-night bar crowd, only to be turned away. Honestly, it feels like a weird double standard that ends up punishing responsible visitors. If the goal is to create a family-friendly vibe before 7pm, maybe reconsider how you define ?supervision.? I hope they rethink the policy.

So valid, they have SO MANY Pinball machines. Super chill

This place was, to say the least, AWESOME! Wife and I had an awesome time here. Lots of arcades and pinball machines as well as basketball machines and table top games. Beer was reasonably priced and the service was great, polite and courteous. Perfect way to close out vacation here in Denver. Cant recommend enough. Thanks for the memories.

The gentleman at the front door today at 4:30 was extremely rude and I will not ever go to this location again. I have visited this place before on my own and was completely fine. I am not a minor and he said I cannot go in I need a parent. On the door and website it says I cannot enter after 6:30 which I get. When I asked to speak to a manager or another person even he denied me that right. When I asked him why i wasn't able to he said show me where it says you can come in. There's other kids there w

They have no respect for their young customers I was denied entry for a vertical ID granted everyone knows what that means, but my card wasn't even examined or scanned before being denied! Then only to be ignored and unacknowledged by the employee apologizing to my older companion instead of me who the mistake happen to!

It's your standard 1up except the bartender on Sunday afternoon was especially rude. I've never seen someone mansplain a drink before and hope I never have to again. You'd think on a slower night you'd be nice to your few patrons instead of being condescending while you serve atrocious well drinks. Other than the pissy dude bro harshing our "happy hour" mellow, it was a good time. The patio is west facing so playing giant Jenga while the sun is setting was a vibe.

This place is loads of fun. Family hour is until 7pm. It's a fun and clean environment. Great to show your kids the best of the best from the classic cabinets. Even a few new games when they get bored.

Our 1up experience was amazing!! My friend and the kids had such a great time, as did I! The staff was on point and fabulously friendly. I would recommend 1up to anyone and everyone.I have to give kudos to Bekah the GM. She obviously does a great job with her staff in all areas of their positions. Fun Fun Fun!!!

Always a fun date night and they always have fun happy hours and drink specials! They have a great selection of games at a reasonable price. Wide variety of drinks and decent bar bites.

This is a retro amd arcade gamer's dream bar. The place is LOADED with classic arcade games from all over the gaming spectrum. With new cabinets like Cruisn' to classic Mario Bros. and even a whole pinball room! The food is as what's expected, nothing too crazy and no real unique flavors to write about. However, the food is good regardless, so it isn't an excuse to go eat elsewhere. The unique drinks had a wild menu, with a back-up lighting on their menus alone was worthy of trying a flavor or two. Defin

This place is always a blast! $20 worth of tokens gets 2 of us about 1.5-2 hours of play time! The drinks are maybe a little expensive and taste quite cheap. They have great happy hour deals though!

The age policy is so backwards. Basically, a bunch of rambunctious, unmannered 7 years olds can run wild in the place because they have a parent with them. But me, a mature, responsible 20 year old cannot enter to play games with my 21 year old friend. Not to mention the guy at the door is rude.

Clean, well run, and friendly, this is a great place for a throw-back experience mixed with a modern vibe. The arcade games are definitely classics. Some of the pinball machines lean towards the garish in flashing lights, and it's definitely a louder environment which can be a strain on the senses, but that's not unusual for most bars, or gaming establishments. Haven't tried the food yet, but I'll be back.

Miguel is the G.O.A.T. it seems like no matter how many people there are in line the man is just cruising along. Nobody ever has to wait longer than 2 minuted any time this guy is working. Love this place! 10/10, would recommend!!

Taco Tuesdays, half off the tacos. It's a really fun night playing pinball. The staff is amazing here and always has been never had an issue. I've been coming to this place for many years.

Cool ambiance but a bit loud. Would have been better at this volume if there was a dance floor but not for customers having conversations. Drinks were not cheap but they were a good size & delish!

The drink was delish, have old school arcades, from Super Mario to Mortal Kombat, to pinball machines and pac man. Isles in between arcades are kind of tight, but it was still pretty fun and a good date night idea.

We came here to celebrate a special day, was the right choice for the boys to have a great time. Great place to kick it old school and have some beers. Thanks to the staff there made it more enjoyable. Definitely recommend this place and the drinks! Thank you to the bar tender Angle and the greeter in the front (so sorry didn't catch you name)! But you guys really go above and beyond for the patrons! Thank you for an amazing day ??

left my phone in the bathroom and someone gave it to the bouncers. thank youuuu so much patrons and staff for turning a potential disaster into nothing!! perfect spot for game night! we came for pinball and found out they have tournaments every month! South Parks probably my favorite table, but they have classics like monster bash AND modern ones like rick & morty (very hard). they also have classic games like pac man for only 25 cents. couldn't believe it. definitely coming back.

All around excellent experience! Food was good, service was excellent, gaming was a blast! Will definitely come back next time in town.

Great idea but poor execution. Much better when it first opened. Sorry, but I'm tired of this nonsense. Multiple games don't work, but no out of order signs. To their credit, they threw some coins my way for the first fail, but if I complained about every broken game, that's about half my time here. Claw game is a rip off, but who doesn't say that? Whatever. Drinks are fine but downtowns locations was better, but I could have been drunk at the time.

Fun place to have a day date when no one is there during the day!!!

EXCELLENT service. From front door to bathroom cleanliness... only wish... a few more modern games mixed in... maybe a pool table?

Probably everything you expect, but I think Dave & Buster?s has more working games. It's cool that they have old-school games but not when the buttons don't work. Note: old-school games are a quarter everything else is at least a dollar.

I had such a good time here!! I love that there are arcades for date nights now! I loved the pinball machines and ski ball games! We tried to play the free-throw basketball game, but all the balls were semi-deflated and they kept getting stuck. The games are cheap, the drinks are very reasonably priced, and there were so many fun options for games. Highly recommended for friends or activity date nights!!

Can you say 80s? This place is a fine addition to the other 1up locations by Coors Field and East Colfax. Maybe because it's newer, but this location does not have the grungy, hole-in-the-wall feel of the other two locations, plus, it has a much larger footprint as well. This location serves both food and alcohol, and it is much more family-friendly. Plenty of free parking outside, and very near the intersection of interstate 25 and Arapahoe. Oh, and lots of 25-cent video games and 50-cent pinball machines.

Me and some friends have been coming every week for about a year now. The service here is awesome and the bartenders are very attentive and chill. Steven and Tiberius are nice and always make sure we're having a good time.

Love this place. It's conveniently close to me and they have good games. I've had a blast every time I've gone. Their patio is really chill too.

So much better than the Colfax location for multiple reasons! Bigger space, seating for eating, bartenders are cooler, way more games! Parking! Come on Sunday for all day happy hour, their drinks are cheap and they have adult slushes! .25 old school games. Yes, just yes.

I absolutely love bringing my teens here. The staff is always friendly, it's never super packed even though it's always busy. The food is good, the drinks are good and the atmosphere is awesome!!

Total flashback to the days when arcades were where we brought a roll of quarters and hung out with friends! Great selection of games, all maintained and working. Clean restaurant area and clean bathrooms. Menu is standard bar food, but surprisingly, it was pretty good (could lighten up on the seasoning of the fries ??, but that's my only complaint). Staff was friendly and helpful. Fun place to go!

Great place to spend some time with friends and family. Friendly staff and tasty drinks. Food was pretty good also.

Great time for a family. They serve food and adult beverages. Anyone over 35 will enjoy some of the older machines. Lots of them still use one token!

Been coming to this bar for a year now. The service has been outstanding. Everyone that works at this bar is awesome! Special shoutout to Tiberius and Steven for always making sure me and my friends are good and having a good time. Drinks are good as well!

It was fun. A few of the machines we not working and ate some quarters though. I took my son there around 1pm as it's kid friendly. The place was pretty busy for a Saturday at 1pm. We didn't eat so not sure how the food is. They had a pretty good selection of 80s games and pinball but are missing some must haves like robotron, paperboy, defender. Etc. All in all it was fun but I like the demver location better.

Absolutely amazing environment. Amazing staff, amazing food and the games are fun as well.

Excellent time! I had a blast. I've been to other locations and this is my favorite. I love how they play the retro theme up. The drink menu lights up, the trays for food are retro, and the games are cheap. Only 25 or 50 cents to every game I played. The food was decent. It's mostly what you might expect (burgers, dogs, fried pickles, etc.) Great experience overall. I will be returning.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this establishment. I attended a birthday celebration for a close acquaintance and was fortunate enough to win a substantial teddy bear as a prize. The overall atmosphere was highly enjoyable.

Went here today and was so happy to have found out about it. Masks required right now unless you are eating or drinking, seems like they sanitize regularly if that is important to you. Drink I ordered was good. Games were fun and there are plenty which are only a quarter so you don't have to necessarily spend a lot if you don't want to (but you might want to, if you're having fun!) they have food but I didn't get any so I can speak to that.

very fun! had Ana maxing time with my hubby and a friend who was visiting out of state. i had the ?Brian Griffin? slush alcoholic drink, which was orange cream. very delicious, i also got friend pickles to go with. very fun old time arcade games and chill atmosphere! made me feel like a kid again w/ a couple drinks!

Better bar food would be nice ??

This is the most legit place to visit!! Nostalgia at it's finest if you grew up with video games and pinball. Their food is amazing, game selections are outstanding (sooo many pinball games - and Skeeball, my boardwalk favorite!!) and most stand up video games are 25 cents...yes!! A quarter, just like back in my Skating Rink days. Food is served "lunchroom" style. Would give this 100 stars if I could!...Oh, and they serve ??

My date wasn't that great but the arcade was fabulous. They have a great collection of pinball games.

They have a Rush pinball machine, pickle shots and tasty bar food. What else could I ask for? Oh. This location has the old Heritage Square bathroom sign. ??

I love it here! The atmosphere and all the games are awesome! If you want alcohol try the donkey punch.

Really fun barcade! Most games are only .25c we got $20 dollars in tokens and it lasted us around 3 hours. Had a great time. Really fun tasty drink menu as well! Highly recommend!

Fun games, full bar, and ATM machine so you can keep the quarters coming! If you're there next time I am, I'll challenge you to a game of basketball. Or Tetris. Not pinball. I suck at pinball.

Lots of pinball and video games, kept in good shape and big bar nearby. Monthly pinball tournament every month on 4th Sunday

Fun bar arcade. I would love to go again on a Friday night so see how the vibe is. Their selection of games is fantastic. Also, I love how cheap the drinks are.

The staff here are really cool people. Tiberius and Steven have our drinks for us before we sit down at the bar almost every time we come here, Scotty always changes the channel on the TV for us to the avalanche game, Dan makes sure to check on us with a smile every time. Bethany and Brielle go out of their way to have an honest conversation with us every time they see us. Somehow, it's not the pinball, or the video games, or honestly even the booze that keep my friends and I coming back. It's the staff.

A great alternative to the LoDo location for Millenials, GenX, and families with children. Clean, in working order, and nice food and beer selection.

This place is Awesome! If you Love or Like Arcade games and having a good time this is it! I'm from out of town 505. Came her as a recommendation from waitress and man she was right! ??

This place is a vibe!! The perfect adult arcade experience with friends. Brought back so many nostalgic memories for me

Omg I love it ?? I love it ?? I love it. And them damn bartenders are fine fine fine very handsome. And that's before the drinks. They have amazing energy and tolerance to put up with me. They don't call me Tipsy for nothing. By the time I left I was ready to be secured my security. We will be going every Tuesday after work?????? just to get on their last nerve. lol I will update this review with pics just so you know it's real. Oh they do have all the games in there??????don't forget about those. But the

We have done two birthday parties here, ages 14 and 17, and each one has been great. There is no time limit on tables (which are first come, first serve. You can talk to them about reservations for large parties) we have not had any issues getting 2 or 3 tables. The food is good and reasonably priced. The servers/ bar tenders are great. We would definitely come back again.

Terrible experience. The guy at the door wouldn't let me in due to not having an ID. I had no intention of drinking and the door says 20 and under welcome before 7:00PM. He was extremely rude

This place is awesome! Re-live your youth. Bartenders are fantastic and the wings are surprisingly good!

Great bartenders! Drinks were delicious; arcade games we're nostalgic and this will definitely be a time for my wife and I to remember for years to come. Everything about this place rocks!

Great atmosphere. Great Arcade games. Lots of Pinball machines. Food was great. Staff was top notch. I'll definitely go back

This has become my new home since sportsbook closed. The staff is super welcoming. Nina, the bar tender, is one of the best! Coming here on "Taco Tuesday" has become a regular tradition, $2 tacos, good drinks, fun people. Definitely worth a stop!

Virtually every single game that my group touched was broken in one way or another. Otherwise, great environment and great pricing on drinks

We love the retro games, custom drinks, and 80s decor!

Never let down, same great service every single time I arrive. Stephen is exceptional. I don't think I've ever had to remind him of when I'm going to order. Things like this keep a person coming back for more. Thanks Stephen for making 1up a go to for me and my lady!

The place is great. I hear it's a chain and there's bigger better ones sorry greenwood

I absolutely love this place and I've been here several times. however, their air conditioning is broken and in this heat, not good. We brought probably 15 of our friends to come celebrate my husband?s birthday and the heat absolutely ruined the ambience that we love so much. Feedback from some of the staff was, that the owner refused to fix the air conditioner. I had one of my friends leave because they felt so sick. Don't come here unless you like being sweaty while you're drunk and nauseous after you lea

Lots of broken machines. Creepy bouncer made every woman pronounce their last name while checking IDs but did not ask men. They're scamming people on games like guitar hero that have broken buttons and pinball games with broken flippers.

The games range from .25-.50 and they have anything from Pac-Man and Centipede to Minecraft. The food used to be great now it's just ok. I think they switched vendors because it's just not as good as it used to be. I can say, the staff is still freaking fantastic. We have been several times with our kids and without. Tons of fun, great atmosphere and wonderful staff. Go have some fun and don't forget your quarters. If you do forget, there is an ATM and a change machine. Enjoy!

Some games have sticky coin slots, and management will correct if asked. Bar service was great, newer selection of pinball machines also tight ??

So fun! Tons of retro arcade games, most a quarter to play. Drink menu was so tasty.

My wife and I have been coming here for years. Love the games, love the drinks, staff is great. $1 per game for anything not pinball... better deals at multiple other places. So we rarely go here now unless we just want to play pinball
