Arcade bar offering specialty pizza by the slice. Majority of the machines work fine, but some of the machines don't ate coins or had non-functioning controls. Buy your coins at the bar for a discount 👍

Awesome place. Totally affordable to play the huge selection of arcade games. Even the pizza was great. Bartenders were kind and personable.

I LOVE up down. A super fun place to go with friends and get a drink. The staff has always been pleasant and it’s not super expensive. The pizza is pretty good.

I really enjoyed my afternoon/evening here. It's grungy, painted black, inside and outside bars, tables on the patio and bar stools at the bar inside. There are so many video games that I used to play. Basketball and skee ball and tabletop games. The only downside was not having a barstool to sit on while playing games.

Perfect for Gen Z/Millennials. Was so nice as a 22 year old to go to a bar and not feel surrounded by people much older than myself. My gf and I both felt safe and had so much fun. Their retro arcade is hard to beat and the pizza/cocktails are great. (Note: their pizza sells out fast so be sure to watch when they say the next one is out to guarantee ur slice)

Very different than the OKC location other than the craft beer and pizza, like the vibe of this one as well

Oct 10th. The bartender/ that usually works 3pm shift, is very rude came in a few times , while working for the Friday pizza deals and my first time going in I stood at the bar to ask a question, he over looked me several times. I had on my uniform añd I kept saying excuse me, when he finally look and I explain that I was wanting to order a pizza, he informed me where to go.. No biggie right? Then I went in a month later in my uniform to grab a bite. It was only two people at the bar me being the 3rd. When I walked up he was holding a conversation with the two sitting at the bar, I stood to the right of the customers ,there again waiting for him to acknowledge me because I was being respectful of the conversation he was having already when I was approaching but he kept talking to the two. I wanted about 10 to 15 sec and said hi, excuse me ( because he was just talking to them not, making a drink or ext. He looks at me and says yes, I said hi can I have a glass of water, he said 'please' I said huh, he said 'you didn't say please' and kind of chuckled. I thought maybe he was is playing but when I said ' I ask could I have a glass of water. He states ' yeah but you still didn't say please but chuckled again and said hey but it's ok and shook his head. He put the glass of water on the counter and slide it to me and walked off. I was lost because can I is asking and thank you was what I was going to say but trying to make a customer say please and make it a big issue is crazy although nothing is wrong with either way of asking for something but to try to carry on as if I was being disrespectful in some way was wild.I spoke on first time of coming to this place to show it's a attitude that he gives off everytime. Mind you everytime I've came in he is always talking to the customers . He never greets me, I had to basically wave my hand everytime and it's always like a bother. My coworkers have had this same issue with him as well and thought to over look it. I wouldn't like to think it's because of something hateful but his attitude sucks sure changes when I approach as well as my co workers and we all go at different times in our work uniforms. Treat people they way you would like to be treated.. That simple, the pizza is great and the one's back there cooking the pizza are cool as well

Traveling solo for work and needed something to do. $5 lasted me 2 hours with everything a quarter. Tons of options, both arcade and pinball. Everything maintained and working well. Great drink selection.
