Up-Down OKC

Located in the heart of the Plaza District, Up-Down OKC is a neon-drenched paradise that has redefined the city's nightlife by blending vintage gaming with a vibrant, modern social scene. This 21+ "barcade" features a sprawling collection of over 60 classic arcade cabinets from the 80s and 90s, all priced at just 25 cents per play. From legendary titles like Donkey Kong and Street Fighter II to a massive selection of pinball machines, Skee-Ball lanes, and even life-sized Jenga on their expansive outdoor patio, there is no shortage of competitive fun. The atmosphere is electric, fueled by a carefully curated soundtrack and a nostalgic aesthetic that makes every visit feel like a trip back to the golden age of the arcade. While the games are the main event, Up-Down sets itself apart as a top-tier destination through its exceptional drink and food program. Boasting over 60 craft beers on tap—including a heavy rotation of local Oklahoma favorites—and a menu featuring high-quality, house-made pizza by the slice, it's the perfect spot for a casual date night or a high-energy group hangout. The two-story venue, complete with a rooftop bar that overlooks the bustling Plaza District, offers a unique urban vibe that you won't find at more traditional family-oriented centers. Whether you're aiming for a new high score on NBA Jam or just soaking in the views with a local brew, Up-Down is an essential pillar of OKC's entertainment landscape.
