Up-Down Kansas City

Up-Down Kansas City is a spirited 21-plus arcade bar bringing nostalgic fun to Southwest Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri.

The bar pours craft beers, bottles, and cans, and the kitchen turns out creative house-made pizza by the slice. The playful, illuminated décor evokes a nostalgic atmosphere that draws groups and individuals looking for a sociable night out, making it a popular spot for birthday parties and team events. Open daily with weekend hours starting at 11 AM, Up-Down Kansas City delivers a uniquely entertaining experience rooted in retro gaming nostalgia.
