    Loved the environment all the arcade games were extremely cheap and fun to play. all the drinks tasted amazing other then the blue Hawaiian It personally reminded me of medicine from my childhood. And at night became pretty active with tons of people but the employees were still happy and smiling and everyone was still wiping and sanitizing surfaces. Extremely happy with everything, I didn't try the pizza nor did any of my friends but it smelled great.

    Easily one of the best arcade bars I’ve ever been to! The retro Vive is strong here and the service is incredible. We got the $25 deal for six beers and a fanny pack full of coins! It’s only $25 on Sunday so we were lucky we got there on this day. Definitely a must see if you’re into video gaming, queer, and looking for a nice, safe, fun place to vibe in OKC. Oh and the pizza and beer are delish!

    As a kid of the late 70's, I appreciate their attention to detail with arcade acquisition. Their machines are the ORIGINAL machines & well preserved. Touche to the wide variety and solid selection of premium, popular games. Well over 75 titles in this two story building & bar. Very fun place if you grew up between 1975-1990.

    Ton of Retro arcades and each machine is only a quarter. Huge selection of beers on draft and some from local breweries. Its two stories and nice little patio on second level overlooking the the plaza. I would have to recommend if you enjoy arcades and beer.

    I highly recommend this place for the adults who want to let their inner child out, a great place for a date night 21& over. I enjoyed the Pin ball machines, the pizza was super oily so grab extra napkins, you'll need them. The alcoholic drinks tasted great but weren't very strong.

    This place is fun, laid back, and clean. Bartenders were friendly and the dreaded door man was super cool. Lots of cool old school games and multiple patios with propane rock heaters. 420 friendly on the patio was a bonus for us! Will definitely come back next time we are in town.

    On a chilly Saturday evening, we found the rooftop patio very comfortable for friends to gather and catch up. In addition fun is guaranteed with the ole school Atari games. πŸ‘πŸ˜†

    Up-Down is a great place to go with friends to hang out or even a date! There are plenty of different cabinet games to play, single player and multi player! Even though I went and it was fairly busy we never had to wait longer than 5 minutes to play anything if it was already occupied. The pizza was good especially for the size of the slice. Definitely recommend

  • 3/5 Dayna G. 6 months ago on Google
    A fun adult arcade game went in for my husband's birthday. He tried 2 new beers (no clue what they were as we couldn't understand the bartender at all) and played some games. Got some free tokens so nothing to complain about. The gal at the front checking IDs was about the only friendly person working beside the pizza maker. Why make people come to a bar and have to scan to view the beer menu dumbest thing that places keep doing. Why make it more difficult when you could just have a printed copy of what you have and what's seasonal? The $2 pizza slice was okay, but not my personal favorite reminded me of Sam's Club pizza. Some games were working and others were not a bummer. Found parking in the lot down the street it was free otherwise good luck finding street parking, depends on when you go as well.

    What a great place!! Trip down memory lane. Came here for a bite to eat and a beer. The pizza was wonderful and the staff was more than great! Had a delicious beef from their massive selection of brews! The bartender even gave me a cup of tokens to enjoy some vintage games!! So great everyone!! Go check it out!!

    Pizza slices are only $2 on Friday nights before 8pm, so if you're wanting to eat while you're there definitely take advantage of that knowledge! I recommend the jalapeno popper pizza if you can handle dairy and spice well enough :9 Staff was attentive and friendly when I went with two friends - I have nothing but praise and no complaints about everyone on duty 9/29/23! $5 gets you 20 tokens, which will likely last you the entire evening - great value, especially considering you need to spend at least $10 to close out a tab if you're paying by card (which isn't difficult to hit at all, between game tokens and drinks!) One word of caution - hold on to your plates and drinks if you are seated upstairs on the balcony. Those Oklahoma wind gusts will send your pizza slices and ranch dip cups flying, as they did with my poor friend! (pizza was saved but RIP to that nearly full ranch cup) Will definitely be visiting again!

    My husband and I came here on a double date, and we had an awesome time! We loved the atmosphere, the drinks were so good and it was so neat to play some old school arcade games. It was cheap too! 10/10!!!!

    Love the vibe of this place in general. Made me feel like a kid again but also having a full bar just added to the perks of having a night out here. Didn't try the food but my fiancee said the pizza was really good.
