From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels elevated and comfortable, with cozy couches that make it easy to settle in and enjoy conversation or unwind after a long day.

“My spouse and girlfriends threw my 50th birthday party here on a Saturday in January '26. They had met with Morgan prior to the party to purchase drink tickets, tokens and pizza. We were allowed to use as many tables as needed upstairs and it worked out perfectly (the fire tables came in handy). Everything was ready, as promised, and pizza was delivered as ordered (really good/hot/fresh)! They didn't give us a hard time about anything and just let us have fun. Every employee we interacted with was wonderful. 1000% recommend and I can't wait to go back just for fun. Thank you UP-Down OKC!!!“

One of my favorite spots in bricktown.“

“This is a very neat and fun place. It was only a $5 cover per person (cash only) which included playing all of the games as many times as you wanted. They have a huge assortment of different games from back in the 80s and 90s to include ski ball, Pac Man, Tetris, Ninja Turtles, Mario Brothers, Sonic the Hedgehog and much more. there is a $10 minimum charge on any credit card purchase from the bar and they do add 20% gratuity for the bartenders and staff. If you don’t want to drink, they have water and canned sodas, but each can of soda is $3 each. It wasn’t busy at all so we were able to play the games we wanted as many times as we wanted to play them and had a lot of fun. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“10/10 recommend margarita island! Paige and Shayla are two of the best, sweetest and prettiest bartenders ever!“

“Ran in last minute & sat at the bar for some amazing pho, a great atmosphere & people I really enjoyed talking to. They seem to have a really cool & consistent staff. Had organic convo with several people that worked there. Their menu & drinks are impressive. I will be back as well as refer them to our residents! Great vibe.“

“We always enjoy our time at Rococo. We brought a friend for his birthday and they were super the whole night!! The food was amazing too.“

“This is a great place to shoot some pool“

“Quaint little local bar and as most little local bars are a consistent crowd that acts almost like family. Suzie was awesome on Sat afternoon and almost always a great crowd during Wed and Sat days. Evenings are hit or miss during the week but Fri and Sat night usually have a good sized crowd. No food other than chips, etc... Drink prices are reasonable and pool, darts and electronic bowling are all fun things to kill time. Jukebox is Touchtunes so plenty of music options and they have multiple tvs with satellite so game days are covered. The outside patio isn't special but nice place to sit and get out of the smoke and enjoy the weather.

Kid-friendliness: 21 and up as it is a bar not a restaurant.“
