This Classic Arcade Bar In Colorado Will Take You Back To Your Childhood

1up in Denver combines 80s arcade games with a modern bar experience.

Remember when you were a kid and couldn't get enough pinball, Frogger, and Pac-Man? While these classic games are hard to come by in this day and age, one Colorado bar has made an entire business out of combining 80's gaming nostalgia and delicious cocktails... and you are going to love it.

Located in Denver's trendy LoDo neighborhood is the epic 1up, which does a bang-up job at combining our two favorite things: the 1980s and alcohol!

Opened in 2011, 1up is quite possibly the most unique bar in Colorado (aside from its sister location on Colfax, of course), thanks to its 90 classic arcade games...

...old school Skee-Ball...

...hoops and giant Jenga...

...and everyone's favorite: pinball.

As if you really needed another reason to visit/love 1up, the bar also offers a giant menu of drinks and delicious bar food, which tastes even better after winning a round of Donkey Kong!

The 1up - LoDo is located at 1925 Blake St in Denver and is open Monday through Thursday from 3 p.m. to 2 a.m., and Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.

Now that you have visited this modern bar, it's time to grab a drink at The Oldest Bar In Colorado Has A Fascinating History.
