I’m not as good at Donkey Kong as I was 30 years ago.

That was my big takeaway from visiting LvL Up, the new arcade-gastropub that’s opened in the old Gaslighter Theater in downtown Campbell. That and how quickly you can go through a couple of bucks of quarters trying to relive the glory days of your youth.

LvL Up has a full bar and a menu by co-owner and chef David Ramsay. But the games are the magnetic draw here, with everything from board games (Monopoly, Stratego, Sorry) to pinball and familiar arcade games from the 1980s and ’90s like Tron, Tempest, Star Wars, Street Fighter II and The Simpsons. There’s even a four-player version of Pac-Man, in which you can eat the other players, and, of course, my nemesis, Donkey Kong.

The drinks on the cocktail menu are all video game references, like Pong, an Old Fashioned variant named after the pioneering arcade game designed for Atari by Al Alcorn, and Zangief’s Donkey, a Moscow Mule dedicated to a Street Fighter character.

LvL Up has a grand opening event at 6 p.m. May 4. Get more information at www.thelvlup.com.
