We want to extend our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering love and support over the past four years. Your loyalty and encouragement have been the very foundation upon which Level Up Bar & Lounge was built, and we consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have you all as part of our extended family.
From the very beginning, we’ve strived to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive space for everyone who walked through our doors. It is your presence and your vibrant spirit that truly brought that vision to life and made it a reality. We simply would not have achieved the wonderful reputation we hold today without our amazing customers and our dedicated, hard-working staff. You are the heart and soul of Level Up, and we are forever grateful.
As we navigate the process of reopening, we ask for your continued patience. We’re working diligently behind the scenes to ensure that we return better than ever, ready to welcome you back to the atmosphere you know and love. We promise to keep you updated on our progress and will announce our grand re-opening date as soon as possible.
Thank you, once again, from the bottom of our hearts. We can’t wait to see you all again soon!

Our Location at 1330 Walnut St closed!
12/9/2024
As everyone is aware, we opened Level Up Bar & Lounge literally a week before the COVID-19 pandemic started in March 2020. Over the past four years, we have worked effortlessly to try and keep the bar open while facing increased operating cost. We regret to inform you that Level Up Bar & Lounge will be closing soon. As of now we do not have an official closing date. Please understand the decision we have come to wasn’t taken lightly.
We don’t believe this is the end of Level Up. Just the end of our chapter at this location. We are actively working to secure a new location and start a new chapter of Level Up Bar & Lounge.
We would like to thank everyone for their love and support of the years!
