Welcome to Colorado. Lyon's classic pinball is a lot of fun and they run a top notch tourney. They tend to draw a crowd in there and the tourneys can run pretty long.....if you're winning.

But don't worry about winning...there are some great players there that are willing to beat you on any era machine.

Right next door is Oskar Blues brewery..... Each beer is better than the next.

If you get time to go to Idaho Springs, you got to stop in on Flipper McGills place. Good food and great pinball parlor! Not to far up the street is the Tommyknocker brewery!

Not a brewery, but Hops & Pies in the highlands. www.hopsandpie.com is one of my favorites as they have beer on tap from all over the country. Always too much good beer to choose from, and the pizza is great. If you hit Lyons, Oscar Blues is always a great choice. Great breweries everywhere here.

I visited 1up back in Feb during the evening. I remember getting ID'd at the entrance. Oddly enough once I got inside there were two small children playing games. Anyway, not a place I would take my kids. More of a bar atmosphere.

Lyon's is great. I thought it was a little difficult to find at night. It's basically just somebody's house or what used to be a house. It's a little cramped in there but the machines are definitely well maintained.

Lyons Classic Pinball will be having a tourney that night, starts at 7:30. It draws a pretty good crowd in there that night.
There are a couple games, and a ton of video games at Oscar Blues around the corner from LCP.
If you found Oscar Blues, you have found LCP, they are 50 feet from each other.
I have 6 machines in at The Lakewood Grill, just a bit west of denver, Avengers LE, TZ, Drac, Space Shuttle, Family Guy, and Starship Troopers.
It would be on the way to Lyons from GEX.
As would Backcountry Pizza in Boulder, also a place for great beer and excellent food.
Enjoy the trip, probably see you at Lyons Thurs.!

Lyon's was fun to check out. As Pindevil said, it is a little bit cramped and even rather dark in there, but the lineup there is a good one. Gotta play Joust and Hercules just for the novelty factor alone.
