    Such a fun place! There are a couple dozen pinball machines, air hockey, pac-man, skeeball, and one of my favorites.... pong! Full bar with some old classic cocktails, beer or just about any drink you would want . Velvet wallpaper and fun changing mood lighting....big beautiful " glass" tree in the middle with seats around it..... a cool touch. A few little areas to sit with a group or a fun date night. Brings back a lot of fun childhood memories with all the games. Monday 15.00 ...play all you want. Bartender was great and and willing to make us one of our favorite little shots. A great spot to hang out and have fun downtown!!

    Had a great work event at The Flipside. Bonus was I was able to play every single pinball game, plus some. It was so cool to play all the games I have never seen before. The staff was helpful and the beer and liquor selection was on point. If you are in town this is a must stop! Not sure the cost since this was sponsored by my work.

    Our bartender Josie was hands down the best bartender we have ever had and we have been to many many bars all over the country. Great place for kids and adults. We took the kids the first night and to come back to an arcade on adult night the following night says something.

    Absolutely love this place! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and all around amazing. The drinks are outstanding! The atmosphere is one of a kind. Great for hanging out and playing games or just stopping in for a quick drink. Something for everyone!

    A groovy arcade for adults with mostly pinball machines and bar. The drinks were good, staff helpful and the games fun.

    The Flipside is a welcome addition to the downtown Loveland landscape! I popped in here on a whim on a Saturday afternoon and was impressed with the whole experience. The pinball machines they have are taken care of and all play well, their bar/drink selection is fantastic, the place is super clean, employees and owners were super friendly, oh and did I mention they have FREE SNACKS! Grab a fistful of quarters and go to town! You won't be disappointed!

    Enjoy a like of games!

    I'm giving this place at 3 stars because first impressions are pretty important when going to a new location and especially for recommendations. We pass flipside heading to a different bar and decided later to go back because it aesthetically looked really interesting. We wound up going in and I loved the theme, the atmosphere, and even the concept of this bar / arcade fun spot. It is a location that is for all ages, so if you plan to be getting anything at the bar you have to get a "21 and over bracelet". I am strictly writing this review based off our experience that then later made me realize that this place is most likely not the place for us. As we were checking out this neat new type of bar (it is different and unique) there were people of all ages playing arcade games). They had several rooms with different types of games so we began to explore to check it out before we ordered something to drink. When we entered into a different room all of a sudden a man comes out of nowhere, wasted as all get-out at only 7:30 p.m. at night, and reached for my husband's crotch trying to grope him. The woman in his party grabbed him and was physically struggling to yank him back telling him to stop. He was belligerently drunk and very physical. In the background there were children playing and this man was out of control. While the facility is not accountable for this man's behavior, and I fully recognize that, the all-age friendly atmosphere isn't as safe once I thought about it. It is strictly a bar which encourages an atmosphere to drink. There is no food (only popcorn snacks) which makes the place really just a glorified bar , but potentially really unsafe for kids/families. I would not come back because of the experience. Not that we might encounter this event again, but because I would be constantly observing people who are drinking and watching for the safety of the kids. I would, however, totally never bring my children because of the possibility of this happening again.

    Snacks - they're FREE!

    SO. MUCH. FUN. This place is awesome!! Seriously. The staff is amazing, the drinks are delicious, and the snacks are yummy - and FREE! The facility is also extremely clean and spacious. Just moved to town and this will become a regular date spot for my husband and I! We loved it.

    So much fun! And kudos to whomever selected the late '90's early 2000's club mix that was playing, it was a fantastic nostalgic experience in so many ways. The Flipside meshed together my childhood games with my young adulthood music, and I was able to share that all with my tween. Obviously the atmosphere is a little more grown up, but it still has the vibrancy and fun of our youth. The staff were so welcoming and kind, the facility was clean. It was a good time for all in our small group. I definitely recommend it for a fun time and a little trip down memory lane in the best of ways.

    FREE snacks!! Popcorn too!

    I've been to several bar arcades throughout northern Colorado, and this by far is the best! From the variety of games (my new fave is Jubeat, it's like DDR for your hands!), to the variety of drinks (between the local beer on tap, amazing mixed drinks, and canned wine/seltzer there is something for everyone!), to the size/layout of the place (awesome small lounge areas to just hangout), to the variety of free snacks available (see photo!). I truly can't wait to come back so many more times! The place was clean, the staff was friendly, the drinks were delicious and the games were fun! Not sure I could ask for anything more.

    I enjoyed the drinking, setting all of the high scores on the pinball machines, and being the king of air hockey.

    Hmmm we went here a second time on our trip and had a very different experience than the first…read moretime. Maybe they're working out the kinks, but I wanted to give some feedback. The first thing is that the place was about 2/3 full and they seem pretty well staffed in the front of the house. There were 2-3 bartenders behind the bar at all times. After we ordered (2 cups of lobster bisque and bread), our server apologized and told us there was a large party in their private room and the chef was having a hard time keeping up. I can't imagine they normally only have one person preparing all of the food on a normal Saturday evening! It took no less than 45 minutes from when we ordered to get our food. Some olives or something would have been nice. My mom also had to wait 15 mins for her 2nd glass of wine. I'll tell you, we weren't going to order anything else after that! There was some really nice classical guitar music by a live musician. I tipped him on our way out. After we left, we noticed a $5 entertainment charge! Is this a norm in Colorado? I would think we would be informed upon entering if there's a cover fee or an additional charge. I would have been happy to pay it, but we should have been informed.

    Definitely a gem in downtown Loveland!…read more The menus are thoughtfully crafted with delicious foodie approved options, the staff is always professional and attentive, and the vibe is just right--comfortable, yet it makes you want to sit up, sip something good, and soak it all in. Their cacio e pepe martini is my absolute favorite. In Joy!

Second time we splurged & ordered 2 of the Colorado Ribeyes. When you order a steak medium rare and you get it well done AND pay $29 it doesn't promote a lot of confidence in the kitchen staff! Had ordered the artichoke spinach dip that came with rock hard pita chips that could break concrete! No problem, we'll eat the celery & carrots that also came with it. NEGATIVE! Carrots were so dried out they were cracking, and the celery was rotted! So much for the appetizer! They offered to remake the steaks, comped the appetizer & offered us free dessert. Round 2...steaks were AGAIN cooked well done! This was a re-do so one would think extra effort would have been made...NOT! It was Saturday evening and by the time we had sat down to eat again it was 9:00. Called them back but they were already closed. Okay...so we'll take them back Sunday...NO CAN DO, closed on Sunday! Doesn't open until 4pm Monday. Husband takes them back for a REFUND this time only to be told "they've done all they can do" REALLY? I don't think you even came close! If you're going to charge people $29 for a steak THEN hire kitchen staff that knows how to cook them as the paying customer requests! There's a HUGE difference between MR & WD and if you can't cook it accordingly then you should not have steak on your menu!! Since you find yourself in the position of "doing all you can do" then you leave me no choice to "do all I can do" and that will be to dispute the charge with my financial institution! For a business that operates in the food industry, hospitality & customer service Monroe's needs a refresher course ASAP! Staff was pleasant but whoever made the decision to not do the right thing and refund the steaks that weren't edible after the second time & the steaks were brought back to you uneaten, then I'll do the honors of exercising my opinion on every social media platform I can. Would NOT recommend this restaurant! If you want a great steak, frequent a good steakhouse!

    It is hard to put into words how much we love this place. It has become so much more than somewhere…read morewe go for laser tag, birthday parties, or a fun family night. It is genuinely one of our kids' favorite places, and a huge part of that is because of the people. I have had the opportunity to speak personally with Jeff, the owner, and it is incredibly clear how much he cares about creating a place where all families and all kids feel welcome, included, and valued. That commitment shows in the environment he has created and, even more importantly, in the people he hires and retains. The staff here are consistently kind, patient, engaged, and wonderful with kids. You can tell that culture starts at the top. I especially have to recognize MJ, who has become someone very special to our family. Our first experience with him was on the ropes course with my daughter. She needed some extra encouragement and patience, and MJ gave her both without hesitation. Despite having plenty of other responsibilities, he took the time to make her feel comfortable, capable, and proud of herself. He never rushed her or made her feel like she was holding anyone up. He simply met her where she was and helped turn something that could have been intimidating into an experience she felt incredibly proud of. That interaction may have seemed like a small moment in the course of a workday, but it was not small to our family. We still talk about it months later. My daughter formed such a special bond with MJ that she looks forward to seeing him whenever we visit, and the rest of our family does too. When it came time for her birthday, we specifically requested MJ as her party host. Once again, he went above and beyond and made her party feel absolutely magical. He remembered her, made her feel special, and gave her the kind of experience a parent hopes their child will remember for years. At first, I wondered if we had simply been lucky enough to encounter one exceptional employee. But the more frequently we have visited and the more staff we have interacted with, the more obvious it has become that this is a culture. MJ will always hold a particularly special place in our hearts because of the extraordinary kindness he has shown our daughter, but there is clearly something very intentional about the team Jeff has built. We visit often, sometimes for a birthday or activity and sometimes simply because our kids ask to go. The facility is always clean and well maintained, there is plenty for the whole family to enjoy, and we consistently leave having had a great experience. There are a lot of businesses that can provide entertainment for kids. What makes this place different is how people are treated while they are there. Jeff and his team have created a place where family fun and genuine kindness seem to matter equally. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you, Jeff, for the culture you have created, and a very special thank you to MJ for the time, patience, encouragement, and care you have shown our daughter. You may never fully realize how much those moments meant to her and to us, but our family will never forget them!!

    We were really disappointed with our visit. Before making the drive, we checked the website and saw…read morenothing about any closures or special events, so we planned the whole day around coming here. After spending a long time in traffic and arriving excited, we were told the venue was unavailable for several hours because of a private event. There was no notice online, no update ahead of time, and no effort to help families who had already made the trip. It was frustrating having to completely change plans at the last minute with kids who were looking forward to spending the day there. Better communication and updated information would make a huge difference and help avoid wasting customers' time and energy.
