Jul 23, 2026, 5:02 PM

The famous 1Up Arcade Bar closed it’s Denver location on Blake Street after 15 years, but they have announced that they’ll be making the move to the Belmar Shopping District of Lakewood.

The new location will replace the Lucky Strike bowling alley that was in the Belmar shopping center.

Including the new location, 1Up  still has locations in Denver off Colfax Ave, Greenwood Village, and Westminster.

The bar has also shared renovation photos of their new location in Belmar.

This will be the largest 1Up Arcade Bar, 13,000 square feet, that they’ve ever built and it will continue to feature their collection of arcade games, pinball machines, and attractions.

An exact opening date has not been announced yet, but they have announced that they will open this fall.
