Really 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 !!

Swig 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 . Read more

Ask 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.

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!

Amberly Sisneros

The 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 .

Adam Ward

Concert 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.

Gregory Garcia

Good strong drinks , old school video games and pinball machines

Emilio C

I like this location more than the one in LODO. Cheap drinks and fun arcade games .

Kaila Mazzy

Sunday's - mimosas are only $1 from 11AM-5PM. Get your game on!

????Talia H????

Such a great alternative to 1up if they are busy! $5 drinks but games are .25 or .50. Typical Denver drink prices but awesome fun!

Sabrina Williams

Come for the $5 incredibly crappy drinks. Stay for the endless plaid shorts and other douchbaggery

Guthrie Gundy

This place is awesome! Good patio for ???? and always fun times with the games.

T Callahan

Good balance between live music and arcade . I'd come back for another show.

Noel Yuri-Bermúdez

it's basically a dive bar with video games . Not a criticism! Happy hour is all day on Sunday !

Less crowded and more video game focused than the 1 up. Nice stuff.

My favorite of the two.

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
