Description

Opened in March 2011, the 1Up is an arcade, bar and restaurant. Located just a half a block from Coors Field, the place features more than thirty vintage arcade games, all from 1985 and earlier, like Pac-Man, Tetris, Galaga, Mortal Kombat and Tron. The 1Up is one of a kind in Denver. Named after the green mushroom that you earn in Mario Brothers when you get the free guy or when player one is up at the start of a game, the 1Up has two lanes of Skee-Ball, eight pinball machines and a display case full of vintage home-game consoles. The bathrooms are tricked out with vintage arcade art, and a mural behind the stage area was done by Jason Garcia, one of the live painters with STS9.

The nice quality bourbon they had behind the bar balanced out the nerdy childlike feeling with the opinionated booze snob within me. A great place. I wish there was more places like this in other cities (including Phoenix.)

  • 2012 | Best Place to See a Grownup Cry Over Pac-Man

    From life-sized Jenga to an array of video games, all from 1985 or earlier, this vintage arcade/bar is the best place to drink, get to level 254 of Pac-Man, and break down when the ghosts finally get you. The good news is that with over forty vintage arcade games (including BurgerTime and Mortal Kombat) as well as pinball and Skee-Ball, there's not much time to pout over one loss. But as long as you're acting like a kid, order up a burger with a glazed doughnut instead of a bun: One bite and... More »
