A barcade with tons of game options and good food! Overall I'd say the vibe is more centered around gaming vs. drinking, unlike other barcades like Emporium in SF. The mac and cheese is delicious. The original mac and cheese might sound basic compared to the rest of the fully loaded options but it is definitely worth ordering.
There are 2 levels - the bottom level has arcade games (pinball, mario kart, racing games, big buck hunter, killer queen etc.) and a seating area, and the 2nd level has an area for renting a console or PC and playing with friends. The arcade games take quarters and there's a machine to convert your bills to quarters. You can also find board games you can play for free. There's also a small collectibles store on the 2nd level (called The Retro Fix) with lots of cool action figures and trinkets but they have different operating hours than the barcade.
One downside is that the cocktails are underwhelming. They have fun names like "over 9000" or "princess peach punch" but the drinks themselves are pretty mediocre, much more on the sugary side.
Overall a great spot definitely worth the trip if you're in the south bay!
I've been coming here for a couple years now. It's always a great time at LVLup. Every drink is pretty great and scrimshaw on tap! Lots of retro games and newer games upstairs at AFK. Clean atmosphere and good people. The food menu isn't large but it's quality.
I accidentally left my packback on a chair inside when i left and they kindly put it in a safe place for me when i called in about it. An all around awesome place!!
Hands down one of the best atmosphere, team and food in town. This is a ritual, my friends and I go at least once a week. The menu is amazing, drinks are on point and it's a great opportunity to relax and enjoy.
Ask if Julian is working. He will ensure you have not only a fun time, but also a safe one. He is someone you can trust. Great games, food, and drinks. Great workers as well 👍🏼
Lively video game and gastropub combination. Plenty of communal tables with stacks of board games on them. Pinball machines and electronic video games. A great place to bring your family for an evening or possibly a birthday party. Bar serves a large selection of cocktails, beer and wine with some drinks available in a larger size called a LVL Up. kids are welcome until 9:00 p.m., then the clientele goes to strictly 21 and up.
It's a fun spot, the games are reasonably priced and there is a good selection. The beer menu was decent as well.
The moment I walked in and saw the glowing lights of pinball machines and arcade games, the cute BB-8 balloon, the arcade Mario-style paint decor, and board games on the tables I knew I was in the right place. Truly a "level up" from your typical gastropub!
You pick up a menu, stroll up to order at the bar and either leave your tab open or close it out. They have various seasonal foods and sophisticated takes on bar fare, along with nerdy cocktails. Take your number, have a seat, maybe play some games while you wait.
They serve all food on sustainable plates, and you grab your own silverware, water, and napkins. Bus yourself or wait for them to come by. Your choice!
If you didn't bring change, don't fret! They have machines that will gladly take your bills for your enjoyment.
I'm not much of a pinball or arcade fan but for some reason I especially enjoyed getting out of my comfort zone in the fun, bustling environment here. They even had classics like Tron and Pac-Man, along with more up-to-date arcade games that play 10. My best scores were on their Lord of the Rings game... #forgondor
No complaints here, linger or eat and run, your choice.
I went in to the soft opening on Saturday with my family. The extensive selection of games were in good to great repair with only a sloppy joystick on Simpsons and a bad flipper on one of the pinball games that the manager assured would be repaired promptly. Food was scrumptious and the house cocktails were tasty and strong, my favorite being the “Pong”. The service was on point with a friendly staff and the facilities clean and tidy. The arrangement of the seating and tables needs to be adjusted to improve traffic and comfort for playing the games, and all told the experience was enjoyable.
