Operating in Nashville, Tennessee, since its opening on August 12, 2021, Up Down Arcade Bar offers a nostalgic entertainment experience in the city’s Five Points neighborhood. This establishment features a collection of over 80 classic arcade games from the 1980s and 1990s, more than 15 pinball machines, four Skee-Ball alleys, and console gaming with Nintendo 64. In addition to coin-operated amusements, the venue provides communal games such as life-size Jenga and Connect Four, alongside a pet-friendly rooftop patio. All games are accessible for 25 cents per play, complementing a menu of house-made pizza by the slice and an extensive selection of craft beers and cocktails.
As one of several outposts for the Up Down concept, the Nashville location functions as a dedicated social hub for adults, offering a blend of retro gaming and a bar atmosphere for patrons aged 21 and over. Beyond its recreational offerings, Up Down Nashville actively engages with the local community, hosting charity events and contributing to local organizations like the Nashville Rescue Mission and the American Red Cross. The venue fosters a sense of shared experience and community, appealing to both residents and visitors seeking a unique entertainment destination.
