nemo sergesMarch 30, 2017Really cool bar. It was super chill in there too, not overcrowded or too noisy. Plus all the games were really fun and the drink I had there was sweet & cheap!!
Craig TalbertOctober 13, 2015Ask the bartenders to make you a "Colfax Complex." It's like an Oedipal complex but it kills your liver and makes you want to take home nearby miscreants.- Fodor's TravelSeptember 12, 2017Swig 40s of malt liquor while pumping quarters into arcade games, go wild with six lanes of skee-ball, get tipsy with giant Jenga on the patio, and pick your own jukebox tunes.

- Amberly SisnerosAugust 2, 2018The 1Up bar is full of nostalgic arcade games, bring your coin collection and play the night away while enjoying adult cocktails and throwback pop-punk tunes.
Like it's big brother (The 1-Up), The 2-Up has a great selection of classic (& new) arcade and pinball machines in beautiful shape. Come for the fun, stay for the forties!
🤓Talia H🌟September 4, 2012Such a great alternative to 1up if they are busy! $5 drinks but games are .25 or .50. Typical Denver drink prices but awesome fun!
Emilio CJuly 18, 2017I like this location more than the one in LODO. Cheap drinks and fun arcade games.
Adam WardAugust 20, 2014Concert venue is cool and all, and they've had some kick ass jam bands, but I miss just being able to stop in to play a couple quick games.
Sabrina WilliamsJune 30, 2012Come for the $5 incredibly crappy drinks. Stay for the endless plaid shorts and other douchbaggery
Sunday's - mimosas are only $1 from 11AM-5PM. Get your game on!
This place is awesome! Good patio for 🚬 and always fun times with the games.
it's basically a dive bar with video games. Not a criticism! Happy hour is all day on Sunday!
T CallahanOctober 23, 2014Good balance between live music and arcade. I'd come back for another show.
Vintage arcade games, cheap beer, shows all the time.
Willie LeeJuly 24, 2013Don't expect anything special if its your birthday. Not even a verbal "Happy Birthday!"

"I recommend the green chile slice. Two of my favorite foods combined!"
Tisha Martinez - 9.1
"Quite possibly Denver’s best all around music venue. Large open floor, tiered levels in the back and elevated/balcony style views, this place has good sight lines. And the sound is incredible!"
C Rey - 8.6
"Classic small scale venue with excellent sound and theater feel. Lines form early so be sure to get a good spot!"
