We’ve got something for everyone

No two groups are the same, so we take pride in customizing your event to appeal to your guests. Whether you need a small table or to rent out the entire building, we can accommodate your group. Our options range from budget-friendly to extravagant. No matter how big your group is, we want to make sure all of your guests have a great time (and that you get all the credit for planning such an awesome event).

Available Spaces

Our rooftop patio is one of Kansas City’s favorite places to relax and enjoy. Take in the skyline with the convenience of a private bar. This area can accommodate up to 80 guests and is a great gathering spot for medium-sized groups.

Don’t forget about tokens. All of our classic games run on tokens. This will bring back nostalgic feelings for many in your group. We will have them counted out and ready to distribute for your group so they can get into the action.

Start Planning

Inside of Up-Down you will find over 60 classic arcade games. All of the classics your group grew up with as well as some new challenges to try. Pinball, skeeball, basketball, and console games add to the challenge and give everyone a chance to show their skills.

Start Planning

01. Semi-Private

Set aside the velvet rope and enjoy all the fun Up-Down has to offer. We will set up a table for your pizzas and cakes while allowing your group to enjoy games casually throughour the bar. Our most budget friendly option.

02. Early Open

Come in during the afternoon, when we are closed to the public, and the whole bar can be yours. This is great for office parties and team-building events or a fun way to enjoy playing hooky from work with friends.

03. Whole Building

Our building can hold up to 300 people. Renting out the entire bar for your group is a great way to show your appreciation on your special occasion or for a big event. Contact us for more details.

Additional Hosting Options

Open Bar

Treat your group to everything Up-Down has to offer. We will provide you with wristbands for your group. These wristbands will allow them to order freely from the bar and we will place it on your group’s tab.

Limited Open Bar

This option works the same as the open bar, but you can select the types of items included. You can limit the open bar to beers or exclude high-end options. This was designed to keep Accounting and HR Departments happy.

Drink Tickets

At the beginning of your event, we will provide you with drink tickets to distribute to your guests. You can decide how they are allocated and the tickets can be used to add drinks to your group’s tab.

Cash Bar

This is a budget-friendly option for hosting a great get-together. All of your guests will be responsible for their own drinks. You still have the option of providing pizza or tokens if you wish.

Pizzas As Unique As Your Event

We offer a great selection of classic pizzas as well as options you won’t find anywhere else. All of our pizzas are made from scratch with exceptional ingredients. Order some classics for your group and discover some adventurous palettes going for Jalepeño Popper or Bacon Mac and Cheese. Our event coordinator will work with you to get the perfect combination. When you arrive for your event the pizzas will arrive hot out of the oven for your group to enjoy.
