The Flipside

Downtown Loveland's retro arcade bar, The Flipside, is built around a simple and joyful idea: old-school pinball and arcade games, a full bar with well-crafted cocktails, and a bright, colorful lounge where you can play for an hour or settle in for the evening. Visitors consistently praise the condition of the machines — a point that matters a great deal to pinball fans. The lineup has included Addams Family pinball alongside Apollo 13, Champion Pub, Bad Cats, Whirlwind, and Ghostbusters, plus a two-player Mario Kart arcade game, air hockey, and skee-ball. The bar serves full cocktails, including signature creations and a frozen piña colada visitors single out, alongside local beers and light snacks; outside food is welcome and delivery to the door is an option. Walk-ins are welcome with no reservations needed. Monday is the night to know about: unlimited play for one cover charge, making it the best-value night for a group that wants to play everything. Private buyouts are available for birthdays, team nights, and reunions.
