Seychelle L.

The music was good. I liked the changing color lights and the hanging lights around the bar. I also liked the lounge area with the bedazzled red leather couch. Overall we had a really fun experience. Apperantly they remodeled.

This bar is absolutely disgusting, flooded bathroom and no one cared to clean it, absolutely ridiculous!! Health concerns at this place!

Absolutely disgusting bar, bathroom was flooded and we were expected to step in the sewer water are you kidding me? How has this place remained open?

Was there a t-rex or..?

I'd say it wasn't my favorite vibe and never really has been. Boring, bartenders were nice. Men were ugly

Is this place still sketchy?

It's still racist, didn't go in because my African American friend was told he couldn't be there with no reason...

If you're looking for a spot to end a night out in Boulder, you've come to the right place. Press…read moreplay is an arcade bar that features house music, pool tables and a dance floor, with old arcade games lining the wall. The bar drinks are what you'd expect, nothing special but no complaints. I couldn't give it five stars because of how many arcade games ate our money. Pac man was the only one that really worked - and we somehow got it to play all night on two quarters! The music was pretty good. Definitely danceable. I appreciated the latin music within the set list. Definitely feels like a last-stop for a college aged crowd.

This was our last stop on a Friday night of bar hopping and it was such a fun spot to finish off…read morethe night at. We played pool and some arcade games (so much pac man throughout the night, I think I discovered a new passion) which was super fun. I will say that some of the games just ate our quarters which was a bummer but overall the arcade games were a great addition to the bar. We had some basic well drinks and some beers and they were exactly what you would expect from a local game bar like this. However, they did have a small dancing section which made the place even better because there's really something there to do for every type of person. The dance floor was pretty busy and the music was fun and lively so we had a good time and were impressed by that it wasn't too gross or dirty in the place. I think this is a super fun place to go out in Boulder and I would totally go there again, definitely recommend.

I am trying to do new things. I am a traditionally horrible dancer, so I did some looking around…read moreand found the Boulder Swing Dance web site. Classes are cheap ($10 for a drop in class or $35 for a 4-part series) and they start frequently (a new session every month) so I took my chance and jumped in on the next beginner-level class that came up. This was Lindy Hop 1, which meets on Monday nights. Tonight was my first lesson, and I cannot wait to go back next week. I have never danced a real dance before in my life, but John and Shana did a great job explaining everything clearly enough that it always felt natural to move on to the next step. The atmosphere was really relaxed and everyone seemed to have a genuinely good time. It is certainly okay to attend these classes on your own. My friend and I went without partners and a couple of guys stuck around from an earlier class to even things out. Not a big deal at all. I was concerned about not having the comfort of a familiar partner, but that soon was relieved as the class is structured so that every follow dances with every lead at least once. And since it's a "rotate clockwise" arrangement, there's no need to worry that nobody will choose you to dance. You just get the next person in the circle, and then the next. This setup not only eases the awkwardness of choosing a partner, it gives you the opportunity to dance with several people, and all of them will have a slightly different style. You don't learn to dance with your date, you learn to dance with anybody. The studio was a bit hot and everyone got really sweaty but, since everybody was sweaty, it was okay. I highly recommend wearing something comfortable that will allow you to breathe. After just the first session in this series, I feel like I progressed from hopeless to kind of okay at this particular dance, which is way more than I had anticipated. Trying new things is awesome!

I agree with another reviewer. Super rude staff at the front. Classes move ridiculously slow…read more Instructors are decent but we need more options in Boulder for Lindy Hop.
