I was celebrating my birthday last weekend and we ended up here an stayed until closing time. This place is incredible. It makes you feel like a kid again but with alcohol lol They have a bar on both levels and video games, pinball, skeeball, table team games, photo booth, huge pizza by the slice for $6, very nice and awesome bar tenders, well staffed, retro vibes for days and not enough good things can be said. I'd come back every week if I could honestly. Hidden gem of Iowa. Adults only, yes please.

It's the best pizza slice in Des Moines in my personal opinion! The pinball ain't bad either. My recommendation is the Princess Peach Punch if you are a fan of fruity, tropical, and pineapple-flavored.Vegetarian options: The Mona Lisa is a fantastic vegetarian choice!

There are ALWAYS a significant amount of games out of order. They somehow run out of pizza dough by 11pm. Not at all worth the money or the trip here.

3 of the greatest things under one roof. Beer, games, pizza. I hope this place lives forever, and the staff are granted vip access into heaven.

The pizzas were okay but I did like that you could get slices and they had a variety of flavors. The people were very nice. You get a lot of bang for your buck with the coins. Their drinks were very yummy but the sour beers had to be the best even though they were a little pricey. The atmosphere was very fun and they were open good times.
Have always loved playing video games and this is just way too much fun! I love the double coin nights. The big jinga blocks are fun, and can be a challenge at times. Hands down, my favorite thing about up-down is the old school video games. You'll definitely catch me playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

This Place is so fun they have OG games, new games, pinball games, skee ball games, dance games, racing games and good food. This place is awesome!!!!!!
Love all the game play. Perfect place to meet up with friends and have a few and play all the retro games we grew up on. I also think the sliced pizza is among the best in Des Moines. Good friends, local micro brews, and a couple slices of pizza make for an enjoyable time for all.
