I’ve been coming here for years, lots of good memories until tonight. I didn’t know you could be thrown out of a bar for being too sad, but here we are.
I was leaning against the wall, watching people dance, psyching myself up to join in. But I hesitated because although I can pass for 35, I’m in my mid-40s and going through some hormonal changes. I teared up and decided to tuck myself into a corner to wait for the painful feelings to pass. It’s the sort of thing that happens. I intended to cry it out in my dark nook and go back out on the dance floor.
But one of the bouncers found me and asked me to step outside. He was kind and respectful and I don’t fault him for doing his job. A good bouncer looks out for women crying alone in bars.
I reassured him I wasn’t physically hurt, and the people who had hurt me emotionally had done so two years ago. I’d had roughly 3 sips of hard cider at that point and was not drunk…just depressed about aging in a hard world. He refused to let me back in, despite my having paid for a nearly-full draft and having been
Again, I don’t fault the bouncer. He didn’t set the policy, he was kind and offered me a hug, but superficial pity affection is poor compensation for the door hitting your ass on the way out. I declined and left.
If you’re under 40 and bringing the party, I highly recommend PP for that authentic dive bar feel, good music, cheap pool, and geeks. But if you’re over the hill or having a bad day, don’t bother coming in. Your darkness isn’t wanted here.

I’ve been here a few times and had thought that the music played here was better than some clubs out in Denver but for whatever reason, the DJ that played here December 6th from the hours of 11pm to midnight was absolutely god awful. The song selection and transitions were so utterly incomprehensible and abrupt that had I been going here for the first time, I don’t think I’d ever come back. I saw almost no one around me dancing and by the time I left, the entire dance floor was filled of fellow students who looked miserable because their outing that was supposed to a distraction from stressful finals, was instead turned into the musical equivalent of erectile dysfunction. No amount of alcohol could’ve made me enjoy my time there that night. Please for the love of all things good never hire that DJ again.

It was amazing! Such a great date spot! It was fun to play old school classic video games and the pinball machines were new and exciting. Dj Brosé is the best. Great night out! Highly recommend!

this bar is a joke. they fired one of the best best bartenders because Veronica and Kenzie can’t handle not being on the center of attention. Imagine losing real talent just to protect two insecure girls. If u want to spend ur money here go ahead but don’t expect class lol. Boooooooooooo 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
im a broke college student and sometimes i don’t tip (ikik but it’s true). last night i got a few drinks and had a whole bunch of separate charges when i had the same thing to drink last night. I am meticulous about looking at what I pay, and the bartender entered in a tip after i left. make sure yall write out zero or the bar will put in their own tip.

This used to be my favorite bar, and you could catch me there every Wednesday for Trivia. This was without a doubt due to the great bartender Rad. It's come to my attention that Rad was let go recently due to some sort of workplace drama. This decision doesn’t sit right, and it reflects poorly on the bar as she is the reason why many people come. I hope management can take a closer look at the mistake; however, I no longer will be coming back to press play.

I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy. The service has honestly gone down so much since I haven’t seen my favorite bartender Rad, she is very personable and kind and super professional but I recently had interactions with Kenzie and she was not a kind person at all. The atmosphere is weird and gives mean girl vibes. You guy could use a lot of work with your staff
I absolutely love this place 10/10 recommend!!!!
