The 1up Arcade Bar - Lodo

What a great basement dive to relive the 80s/90s (with the potential exception of including a full service bar. That might not have gone over as well with a room full of minors back then...) The selection of games covers many classics and are both console and pinball with a few other types thrown in. The bar brew and drinks are higher quality but you still could possibly find PBRs here. Great place to just be and live in the moment.

We were happy to find a place to play some pinball near our Airbnb. They were cool with us bringing our 9 month old in until 6pm when it becomes adults only. Totally get it. The arcade seemed to be about 1/2 pinball 1/2 arcade games and the games take quarters or tokens at the same value. We had fun and would recommend spending an hour or two in there pumping quarters. Cheers!

I had such a fun time here! It was my first time at 1UP and I definitely had my $20-worth of fun. I spent a good chunk of time at the iconic Godzilla pinball machine. My friend and I enjoyed duking it out at the basketball hoops, although if you’re unused to a crowd (everyone wants a turn with the hoops) looking while you’re playing, I’d stick with another station. I also got to play the classic Pac-Man and Street fighter games. I didn’t grow up going to the arcades, so it was a novel and enjoyable experience being here. The dive bar vibes were also on point. After we exhausted ourselves with the games, my friend and I hung out at one of their tables and chatted. I think it’d be a great place to hang out alone on a weeknight. I could see myself spending hours on one of those pinball machines with no care to the world. I like that it’s a place where you can spend time with friends but also a place where you can fly solo under the radar.
