This place is so chaotic in a fun way! Drinks are decent and fun games to play!! Just busy enough

TL;DR: This one-star rating is entirely due to their bartender, Christian -- a belligerent, intoxicated bully who seemed to be looking for a fight with customers. Here's what happened: I came in last night with a group of friends and had a Monster Energy drink in my front pocket. It wasn't taken at the door, so I forgot about it until I noticed it while playing at the beer pong table. I cracked it open without thinking much of it. Christian came around bussing glasses and took the Monster from me. I assumed it was a mistake at first, but he told me I couldn't have it inside -- fair enough. I asked if I could take it outside or leave it somewhere. He said he'd hold it behind the bar for me to pick up when I left. That seemed reasonable, and I thanked him. When I came to grab it on my way out, he tossed it in the trash instead. When I asked why, he pulled it back out and slowly poured it into the trash, yelling that I wasn't supposed to have it in there and accusing me of sneaking it in. The whole thing felt like he was trying to provoke me into a confrontation. It was humiliating -- not just for me, but honestly for the bar too, especially in front of a crowd. There are so many better ways this situation could have been handled. It's unfortunate, because the rest of the staff were friendly and professional, and I genuinely like the arcade bar itself. To ownership: Please take note -- this employee needs support, training, or possibly a different role that doesn't involve direct customer interaction. read more

We stopped by during a bar crawl. First of all, let's address the service. Perfect. Flawless. Taylor took on our large group with no heads up before without blinking, regulars waited patiently while we ordered in our Golden Girls theme costumes, and games are just really, really fun. It felt like Dave and Busters with a cooler vibe without the kids. Reasonably priced and we will be back. Nothing negative to say, I still have money on my playing card so I HAVE to go back, and look forward to upgrading this review to a five. Definitely recommend and see you there. read more

Best bar, best games, best infusions, best bartenders. Met so many great people here and drinks are so cheap compared to anywhere downtown. Pickle shots all night! read more

Went to players tonight with a work group of 16 people looking forward to having a good time. The work group members of the c-level. CEO and CTO. From the very beginning, the bartender didn't seem like he had his act together. Hard to describe. But since we travel in a different city and state every week, we see a lot of different things. The bartender ignored us and became vulgar when we asked for beverages. He called 2 members of my team "faggots" and "old fucks" read more

Went to players pub for a late night party and had the best time with Collin. He made sure we were taken care of all night. Thank you sir!!!

The skinny: cool cheap spot for unique drinks and arcade games. The space: arcade bar right on Broadway. Large tvs and a decent amount of games (arcade, beer pong, board games) but not a huge space. Can get pretty packed on the weekends. Friendly staff. Drinks/food: 5 dollar infused drinks! They have a variety of infused vodka that are pretty unique. Pickle, marshmallow, airhead, double bubble, war great - some things that I didn't think you could even infuse alcohol with. Tried a marshmallow with seltzer and tasted like a cream soda. Was great! They have some surprisingly amazing French fries - perfect for soaking in some of that booze. Would I come back: if I'm in the area yes! Cool cheap drinks in a fun bar. read more

Great selection of infusion shots, fun crowd! Bartenders are really friendly and tons of games.

There are gaming bars opening up all over the US and Players Pub is a super fun spot down on South Broadway. You can load up a game card or pay as you go. The games are fun, eclectic, and spread throughout the space. For the record, Donkey Kong is way harder than I remember. Their food options are mostly fried but they do have a cheeseburger wrap that was surprisingly way more delicious than it looked. Their fried pickles a were bomb too. Ski ball, Mario kart, Big Buck Hunter are just a few more of my gaming favorites that I was able to play. Their bar is stocked full of good booze and beer. I didn't partake because sober January is still a thing but my pals were boozing it up and keeping the bartenders busy. The bartenders were fun and kept us all entertained. Well played Players Pub. I'm excited for more peeps to discover you. read more

Games + booze = always a good time. BEST PART: Their infused vodka. They have a pretty lengthy list of flavors. I tried Warheads and Skittles and both were delicious (tasted just like the candy). WORST PART: Their game selection. I thought they could have squeezed in a couple more machines -- saw some empty wall space. They had only one fighting game (Tekken Tag) and one co-op game (Simpsons). Would be cool to see at least one more of each (perhaps Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter; TMNT or X-Men). They also had a Pandora's box compilation (older games like Tetris, Contra, and so on), Mario Kart, Skee-Ball, basketball, plus a couple other games. Fun place nonetheless but the selection could be better. read more

Ambiance was cool, the bartender was very rude to me and my partner. At one point she went up to the bar and the bartender said "WHAT?!" Like they were an inconvenience read more

I've been coming to this place since they opened and it could definitely be better. I think the staff does a fantastic job but the seating is awkward and the food is a little pricey for what it is. read more

Love this bar! The bartenders Lo and Colin are the best! Super nice, fun, and a blast to drink around! I drink tequila on the rocks and it's so hard to find a good sipping tequila in Denver that's affordable, and Players Pub has it! Never play the owner is basketball unless you want to get your ass kicked read more

Tried this place out after they'd been open for a week and a half. They have a pickle infused vodka, which I think is fantastic! I love the atmosphere and jumping from game to game. They have a cool gaming card you can load money onto and then swipe to play games. We went back last night and saw that they serve food and it looked tasty. Can't wait to go back! read more

This place has limes... like attractive thicc limes. I didn't even want one for my beer and Colin showed me a lil peek in the fridge. Damn. I'm never going to another bar. read more

I love this place just had an amazing sandwich there and Devin is definitely the dude! He's always throwing down in the kitchen and super down to earth. I swear this is my second home I love the whole team they're amazing human beings and create a beautiful atmosphere. Bobby the owner is definitely doing it right! read more

Players Pub - Big boss buffalo Sando - Arcades Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Stopped in here for drinks and fun for a friends bday. It was busy not not ridiculously crowded for a Saturday night. Drinks were very reasonably priced and the music was bumping. The bar staff was friendly and attentive. I never waited too long to get my libations. It was a mixed crowd but trended a bit younger. I'm basing that on the copious number of bushy beards, high wasted jeans and 80's style knitted sweaters. Even so, the crown was pretty chill and seemed focused on having a good time. They have air hockey which means they win everything. The guitar hero was calling my name, but I got pulled into deep existential bday conversation and missed my opportunities. I would check this place out again! read more

Oh boy, I wandered upon this spot with my friend. We both love to play games. I was super surprised and impressed to see an old love of mine at this joint--PHOTO HUNT!!!!!!!!! My gah, I'd play that just about every day after class at a lan spot nearby some 10+ years ago. read more

Players Pub - Bar top - Arcades Near Me - Denver, Colorado

5$ infused vodkas; we had Skittles, Warheads, strawberry Basil, and mango pineapple. All delicious/ had it with sprite. Game card machine- 10$ gets you a few 2 player games. Blasting audio for a football game. Didn't order food but it looked and smelled good. Cute little arcade bar-kinda too many people for the space but still a good time! read more

I love coming here with friends, especially to see Lo! Her and Colin are two of my favorite bartenders and one of the main reasons we love to spend so much time here. read more

The most unprofessional establishment I've ever been in. Upon exiting, I tried to walk back to where I was sitting (I didn't even exit the bar yet) at 1:50am to find my vape. The owner, and his 3 drunk security guards started yelling at my boyfriend and I, and put their hands on me in a uncalled for violent manner. They are lucky I did not call the police. You do not put your hands on someone no matter what. Plenty of witnesses outside of my friend group. Guy in cowboys jersey (who was apparently the owner) even tried to offer me shots for compensation. Ridiculous. They were obviously wasted. Sad because my friend group used to love this place. We will not be returning. I never "re-entered" I never left the bar. Send me the video footage if you see it as "non violent" and we can let the police decide. The hand shake was because I had to De-escalate the situation because I felt threatened with four men getting in my face for trying to walk into the bar. Your so-called security guards were all sipping on beers and had no business getting involved at all. I tried to get past you because you were being violent and in my face over nothing. Even a few patrons at the bar looked at us and said you guys were completely in the wrong. No matter what, you do not put your hands on somebody. End of story. I had not yet left the bar and simply turned around to try and find a left behind belonging. read more

This place is great! Cool games. Cool people. Awesome selection. Thanks guys! This thing wants me To write more. I already said a buncha good stuff. Let me off the hook already!!!! read more

Yo Yelp Fam, Players isn't a bar, it's not an establishment, it is a way of life. Barcade is an understatement. We were all blown away with the service. LO is SUCH A SWEETHEART. Ask for Bobby, he's a unicorn!! read more

This place is my go to for some games and drinks! Lalalaaalove the staff! Lo is my fave face and a lifesaver when I need an amazing friendly bartender and a round of buck hunter! Definitely a rad spot for skeeball and drinks! If you have a free Wednesday... dice night is the tits ( o )( o ) read more

I have been hanging out at players pub since around the time in opened thanks to PMH leagues but what keeps me coming back on other nights is the fun games and my girl Lo! She makes the experience super awesome and treats everyone with respect. On certain game days she turned on all of the TVs to the game my friends wanted to watch which was amazing!! Overall players pub is one of my fav bars in Denver which is why I even bought a PP hoodie :) cheers !!! read more

The infusion shots are delicious! They also have a great happy hour. I also enjoy their music.

Horrrrrrible selection of games in general, especially co-op games. Limited selection of beer/liquor. The cost for playing games is ridiculously high. Place suuuucked read more

I've been coming here since 2 months after it opened. Bar is fire af, infused vodka shots are the G O A T. Ask for Lo, Colin or Drew. Devin makes fire ass food and his padawan is killing the game too! read more

Friendly bar with games and food, always great service with a fun crowd and decent drink specials. Kudos to Lo and Colin for keeping the drinks flowing. read more

You've gotta give the Skittle shots a try! Waitress was great and drinks were better.

Players is a GREAT establishment! The service is great! It's like a close knit family! They're so welcoming & keep us wanting to go back! Plus, 50 cents wings on Sunday's, you cant beat that (especially during football season!)!!!! read more

We popped in here after dinner because we were excited to play some games and about this new place on the street! The service was great, with the bartenders friendly and frequently available. The space has cool wooden decorations and is super clean. However there weren't as many games as you'd think there would be for a place advertising itself as a game bar. The space was narrow, and the WiFi unfortunately kept breaking while we were there. You have to buy and load a game card to play, and the card depended on WiFi to play, so there are definitely some kinks to be worked out there. Maybe an old school quarter machine would have been better? Either way we had a fun drink and played some games here and it's fun to see a new place in the neighborhood. I'll be back to try the infused vodka drinks as I hear those are delish! read more

Great staffing bar tenders there are so nice Drew is the best! I live in Colorado Springs and travel all the way to Denver just to be in a very relax and fun environment. read more

Players pub is great! We love spending football Sunday here. The one reason for the 3 star review is the blonde female bartender. She is such a downer and straight up rude. We contemplate going to the players pub when she is working. No one wants to interact with her and she doesn't want to interact with anyone. If she didn't work there - 5 stars! read more

My go to when I'm down on Broadway! This little gem was an awesome find and Lo and Colin are the best! They always take care of us and last call always comes so early! Definitely check this place out and if you do, don't forget to try the skittle shot. read more

This is our go to for any happy hour. Lo is the best and always remembers my drink and can tell when the day has kicked my ass or if I need to show of puppy pictures. read more

Love this place! Lots of cool games, good atmosphere and the bartender Lo was super helpful and fun to hang out with! 10/10 will be back

Dope place, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and clean. Lots of games to play. Bartenders are quick and ready to help with all drink requests. Food orders were quick and exactly what we ordered. Side note: bartenders were friendly and really wanted us to feel welcomed!!!! read more

Players pub is one of my favorite places to go, it's good drinks, fun games, and friendly staff! When I was there Lo was my bartender and she's was super nice and helpful. The infused shots are also such a good reason to go! read more
