I’m writing this review because I was surprised by how high the ratings were compared to our experience. The location itself is pretty small. We tried both the sports simulator and the dark room.
The dark room was fun, but the sports simulator was pretty disappointing. We ran into issues shortly after paying. The screen wouldn’t allow us to select two players or change any options once a game was selected, which limited the experience. Beau was helpful when answering our questions and setting up our area, but beyond that it felt like we had to track someone down just to get started. Even once we began, we had to go back to the front to make sure we received our full allotted play time.
While we were playing, we were interrupted by kids asking to have a turn. I understand this isn’t necessarily the company’s fault but it did take away from the experience.
The arcade and axe-throwing areas also looked small and didn’t really seem appealing enough to try. On a positive note, the food was good—we ordered two appetizers and enjoyed them.
Overall, the experience wasn’t enough to make us want to return or recommend it to others.

Place does not miss. A family owned restaurant/bar/ bowling alley/ gaming - always 10/10. Been coming here for years and it’s been perfect since day one. Some might say since day one-up! 😂
Thank you for making the carrollwood community closer with this establishment.

1up hosted a homeschool event for my kids homeschool group. 1up was incredibly accommodating. We had a Tues a movie in one of the upper rooms, then the kids played in the arcade for an hour. The arcade is clean, smells nice, and has a great assortment of games (all of which were working). They also have bowling and axe throwing. I recommend checking it out!
We have never been to this place. I know a while back it used to be a movie theater. But we were looking for somewhere to go, and let’s just say my oldest did not want to go to Chuck E. Cheese with my youngest. So this was last minute and let me tell you totally worth it. Games were fun. They were both able to use the same car. There was a bowling alley that we didn’t get a chance to use as well as a place to throw ax. We will definitely be back here only downfall and stay on this place. Is their kids meal pizzas are a little small other than that. Everything else was great.
Great place. Tons of stuff to do. Love the food and the service. Male hosts were informative and polite. Server was super awesome along with the bartender. My father came in from the east coast and I brought my son so we could all enjoy the opportunities at the spot. Place is super clean food was exactly how the reviews were posted.i am going to bring my wife and son back since we had such a great time. Would highly recommend.
