Entry No. 55 — the Boulder file — filed under: arcade-play

Lyons Classic Video

Hidden in the basement of the original Oskar Blues, past the pool tables, this free-to-enter black-light arcade is a faithful slice of the 1980s. The collection runs to twenty-plus classic video cabinets including Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac-Man and Tron, glowing under UV light. It keeps the same hours as the bar upstairs, so you can grab a beer and a burger and head down to play.

The move: Order beers and burgers upstairs at Oskar Blues, then disappear into the black-lit basement to trade turns on Ms. Pac-Man and Tron.

📍 Before you go Inside Oskar Blues' downstairs bar; follows restaurant hours. Free to enter. About 17 miles from Boulder.
