To reply to the response left by the business that you assumed we had one already and we could have asked ("for another"?!?! - we didnt have one, lady) : you saw us walk up and it was crystal clear we had just walked up and definitely had not received a coupon or anything from your booth yet, so to imply we wanted "another" when we were never offered even one is adding insult to injury... you really need some lessons in how to treat people and appropriate responses to unhappy potential customers you've personally insulted. And as for asking, when you leaned over to tell the young gal not to give us one after she had one in her hand...... how in the world would that make someone comfortable to ask for whatever promo card it was? It just made me not want to ever support your business.. not beg for something you freely handed out to every other person. And after you told her not to give us one, you took them all off the back of the table by her and held them all in your hands yourself.. and handed them out to others as we were playing pinball. You personally made our family feel unwelcome.
Original review : * There was a young gal and an old lady at the booth at the Englewood Block Party (August 27, 2022), and the young gal was telling us about the place and our son was waiting to play PacMan. The young gal was about to hand us a free discount card (which they had handed to almost everyone - we were literally the only people who did not get one from what I could see), and the old lady looked at my son, and then told her not to. So, she uncomfortably put it back. We still waited and let our son play Pac Man, and I continued to small talk with the young gal so she didnt feel weird - but in my head I was thinking after this incident, I'm never spending a dime at this place.. sorry! Not willing to even try it out when that kind of person is out there representing it! We will go to Dave and Busters, 1UP, or a brewery or something over this place.. I have no problem going somewhere more expensive to feel more welcome than this old crotchety lady in the booth made us feel (which was extremely unwelcome), so and I would never go here and support this place after that. There are plenty of places with arcade games and pinball - even lots of breweries have several machines now.. I'd rather have smaller game selection and support a business that makes all...
Read moreAlright, folks, listen up! If you haven't had the joy of "sippin' and flippin'" at the Colorado Pinball Pub near Old Town Littleton, are you even livin'? Tucked away in its intimate setting, this joint is dripping with the kind of authentic local charm that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
You think you've been to a bar with an impressive selection? Pfft. The CPP boasts a glorious array of liquid goodness – from an almost intimidating whiskey collection (don't worry, I'm making my way through it, one sip at a time) to those zesty Mule concoctions. Plus, they've got a beer list that's longer than your last relationship – on tap, bottled, canned – you name it!
But here’s the twist: Colorado Pinball Pub isn't your average, run-of-the-mill watering hole. Oh no. This place shoves the mundane aside and brings in the electrifying world of pinball and arcade fun. And trust me, the pinball machine lineup here? It's like the Avengers of the pinball world. They even have the latest recruits like Valhalla, Dave Grohl (rock on!), and Godzilla!
Worried about fumbling around with tokens or coins? Say no more. Their pay-to-play setup is as smooth as their whiskey, making it easy on the pocket and ensuring you're engrossed in your game rather than counting quarters.
Perfect for small groups, buddies, or lovebirds looking for something out of the ordinary, this pub is a date-night game changer. Literally. Instead of the same old dinner and a movie, how about some friendly pinball competition followed by a drink (or three)?
But here's the cherry on top: The service. On our first visit, the fantastic Lora swooped in, giving us the inside scoop and keeping the convo flowing. The entire CPP team is like your favorite group of friends – super chatty, always helpful, and going that extra mile to make you feel at home.
In short, our time at the Colorado Pinball Pub was nothing short of legendary. Will we be back? Is pinball full of bells and whistles? Absolutely! See you...
Read moreBit pricey, but they have some really quality tables. I assumed tables would just be pay-to-play and brought my quarters, but in actuality you are forced to buy an hour of unlimited play for $15. They only have 1 table that is pay-to-play, so if you don't want to drop the $15, you basically just can't play. Structure forced us to play as much as possible for an hour then leave before we were ready, but we had a lot of fun. This is probably a decent valuable for most people, but I tend to make 1 "turn" on a pinball table last a while, so for me I was spending 4x what I normally would if I were just paying per play.
Beer selection is good, prices are about what you'd expect for Denver, a little more reasonable than some other places I've been. Payed $5 apiece for a canned sour, can't complain.
All in all, a really nicely curated collection of games and tables, and a nice, cozy atmosphere. Games were all well maintained and in good working order, only 1 table was down. Place was a bit small, but we went on a weeknight so it wasn't too crowded. I imagine on weekends, it's a lot harder to get your money's worth out of your hour of play, but if you are a fan of pinball, DEFINITELY go check...
