1-Up Lounge - Bar in Bellingham - 1121 McKenzie Ave, USA

Just pure fun! I'm a product of the 70's...so pinball is my Jam. Great environment, awesome service, the games were a blast, good variety, and the price point was fair. I definitely got my money's worth. I wish I would have known about this place earlier during my stay here in July. Weekly Pinball Tournaments...hell to the yes 🤸a must stop, especially if you're young at heart!

Such a fun spot! I’ve been a few times now with friends & always have a good time. It never feels too crowded & the machines are always operating well. The nostalgia of the arcade games, duck hunting, etc + the “newer” things like guitar hero are alot of fun. The drinks are good & I always leave glad I came!

Great place and a great introduction to Bellingham. The bartender was AWESOME and gave no shade when asked for a low sugar cocktail (I've had less-than-ideal responses when asking for this at other bars such as "I can't do that since aLl AlCoHoL iS mAdE fRoM sUgAr" #Type1DiabeticLife). She made a custom strawberry vodka pop fizz of sorts and it was DELICIOUS. They have the newest Venom and Foo Fighters cabinet from Stern. Unfortunately, due to placement, I couldn't try out Venom (a larger patron was sitting in front of the cab while playing the N64 so I don't blame the venue really, just how it goes) and Foo Fighters was sadly offline when I visited. They have a huge selection of consoles and games.. too many to list! And if video games are less your speed, card haven is right next door! Apparently, before 8pm, you can bring your drinks in and play some tcg. This place is stellar and my only gripe is I wish I lived closer. I love 1-Up Lounge ❤️🎮🍻I could go broke here!!

Excellent selection of pinball machines, plus they are all in great working order. Everyone, including staff, were super nice. This place rocks!!

Me and my friends have been coming here for a bit now. Its a nice place to relax and play some games you might have never played before. They always have fun drink combos and the staff are amazing people to be around. Love this spot

1-Up Lounge has been a regular spot for a few months now, my friends and I attend their weekly fighting game tournaments, and hanging out here is the highlight of my week. The food and drinks are great, the games layout is fantastic and getting better all the time, the staff is friendly, and it's my favorite place for pinball in Bellingham. My first trip was a few years ago and from the first time I came in I felt at home in this town.

Got mostly classics with some new stuff. Drinks are good too.

Pretty superstar place, especially for the price. If you are coming with a big group, I'd call ahead as they can sometimes have large touraments or groups. They make excellent Mocktails, if Logan is working, ask for a Fuzzy Logan, they are the best.
