It was ok not much seating I get it it’s an arcade bar but for some people you want to sit for a little bit as well and it had very limited seating.

We went to 1up on a Saturday night; it wasn't super busy but the arcade space isn't huge compared to the other locations. There was no wait at the bar and it was easy enough to navigate the crowds despite groups standing around in the middle of the floor. There is an ATM that will change your cash into tokens (NOT quarters) and you can add a $20 bag of tokens into your tab at the bar if you don't have cash, so they've made it super accessible to play.

The games themselves are in varying states of condition. I saw one out of order game, one of the shooters seemed like it was on its way out when we played it, and another shooter ate a bunch of our quarters. Luckily the bartender gave us some tokens to pay back what the machine got.

If you're in the area and want something to do, I recommend this spot. If you're seeking out an arcade and have the means to go to one of their other locations, you'll have a much bigger selection.

Too loud, too rowdy, kinda felt unsafe. Saw a bartender serve a dude that was already WAY too drunk, they eventually got kicked out. Got the impression that the games weren't regularly wiped down. Kinda got the ick being in there. One of the machines took our money & there wasn't anyone to help. Great concept, but was overwhelmingly noisy & packed with sloppy drunk college folks.
