2 years agoThe food is just okay but the atmosphere and and games?! Definitely knocks it out of the park. I would definitely go back here and I’ve recommended others to go as well. It’s a very fun time!

Managed to spend $80+ here before we were kicked out for “loitering”. My wife and I got drinks at the bar while waiting for our friend. I was taking pictures of our friend PLAYING games (using tickets we BOUGHT) when an employee came over and told us pictures weren’t allowed and said we were loitering. No one else was in our photos nor was the arcade busy- only about 3 other patrons were present. I asked to speak to a manager and the employee returns without a manager and just says the same thing again (can’t be here because we we’re “loitering”). WATCH OUT IF YOU TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR FRIENDS HERE- YOU WILL BE REMOVED. I would understand if I came here with huge strobes and softboxes and a crew of people getting in the way of customers but I didn’t. I literally had a regular camera and there were only 3 of us total!!!!! It’s a shame because we wanted to get food and alcohol when we were done at the arcade! We would’ve spent over $200 if we were allowed to stay. Instead, we are never returning here and we are NOT going to recommend this place to ANYONE. If you don’t want photos taken at your place of business, you should have signs up. I own and manage 3 businesses. This is ridiculous. Show less

Great arcade but terrible service and terrible communication about events. I took my family there and the waitress scolded us for removing our masks while we were at the table because we "hadn't sipped our water yet"....she left and proceeded not to return to the table and wait on us at all...so after about 15-20 minutes of sitting there we got up and left the restaurant. It was the most unprofessional dining experience of my life. I never go to the restaurant now but the arcade is still fun although their communication was also terrible. My last experience was equally frustrating as we checked everything online to ensure they were open to public, drove 30 minutes to get there only to be told the entire venue is closed for a private event. Private events are totally fine but the complete lack of any info is incredibly frustrating Show less

Yeah the restrictions are kind of lame sure, but I get it and it's nobody's fault. We ended up having a pretty great time and the workers were outstanding. The lady that gave our game card was really nice and cool! Edit. Still love this place, but is there a reason you close at 10, when it says your opened till 11?? Show less

I do wish there a few more bowling lanes because the wait for a bowling lane in a weekend is crazy. Also, I do think employees could be more helpful because we told multiple employees we were having issues with the kiosks in the arcade and they kind of just brushed us off.

Service and prices are so bad that we’re never coming back. We walked in 10 minutes after they opened so there was maybe 2 other people there. We asked for pool balls and they said they just need a card to hold and we’d have to accept a charge of $0.00. They told us to go to the pool table to wait for a server. No one showed up for 20 min. We went to the bar to finally get some drinks and food and the bartender just gave the most annoyed vibe that we were ordering from her because she said we should have a server. Still tipped 20% aside from being irritated. But the worst part was they ended up charging us $13.00 to borrow the pool balls when we returned them. On what earth does my $13 go toward any sort of resources or labor for 30 minutes of bad services and a game of pool? Also after they told us they only hold onto the card to get the balls back. So if you want to play pool and have a drink, For The Win is the last place in Denver you should step foot in. Show less

Massive spot to enjoy arcade games, pool tables, ping pong, bowling, shuffleboard and fantastic food. The atmosphere is fun with plenty of TVs to watch sports and other entertainment. We enjoyed the chicken nachos, buffalo wings and French fries and found that everything was delicious. Portions were more than adequate and pricing was also great. The only thing to note is that service is rather slow during busy hours. We came by for a football game and waited quite a bit to order food. Afterwards, though, our food came quickly and our server was friendly and helpful. Excellent spot to watch sports and enjoy some dinner/drinks. If you plan to bowl, be sure to come early and ask for a bowling lane as soon as possible since wait times can be 1-2 hours depending on the day! Show less

The price is very reasonable, as what we normally pay at Dave and Buster's or Main Event lasted us two days. Connected to this is Lucky Strike, which I reviewed separately as five stars, but this is the quick review- Luckily Strike has bowling, pool, ping pong, and shuffle board. They also have food and a full bar. Drinks from Lucky Strike can be taken into FTW. I definitely recommend both places. Show less

6 years agoAt first entering the building was confusing & getting a server was too. However, the food won me over, the Cubano was so delicious! The mermaid drink was SO good, but $13 for the size of the skinny glass I got, not worth it and I wanted another too.

2 years agoWe came here to play some arcade games on a slow afternoon. FTW has a Dave and Buster's feel to it, but nicer. This establishment also has Lucky Strike attached to it, so you can bowl here as well. It's really a great spot in the mall area for an afternoon of games.
