Came in to buy my son a drink for his birthday not planning to stay as he was on a date. First at the door I was carded which I don't mind, what I did mind was my license being scanned. This is the age of ID theft, just look at my ID. There's no need to scan my ID. The bartender barely spoke 2 words to me when taking my drink order, then just took my card without telling me how much I was being charged, swiped it and handed it back. Sure hope I don't see a massive charge. This was my first experience at Up Down and it is definitely my last. The sad thing is I love arcade games and had planned to come back, also as an active Uber driver, I will no longer recommend the place to my passengers.

I really enjoy Up-Down. The beer choices are varied and periodically change. The best though is the collection of pinball machines that you can play for a single token per game. My favorite tables are Stern Deadpool because it is so funny and easy to play and Stern KISS. "You Wanted the Best! You Got the Best! The Hottest Band in the World!" and an equally great machine.

Good place to have fun with friends! My favorite is Pinball and 5P Pac-Man. 4 stars just because some of the machines didn’t work right or at all. They have decent pizza if you are hungry and pretty good choice of drinks. And I’m waiting for the weather to warm up a little bit so we can play that Huge Jenga!

Nice beer selection and wide range of classic video games and a few pinball machines. Also have skee ball. Their outside patio get a lot of use when the weather is good. Here’s a few pics of some of my favorite harder-to-find 80s video games:
