The ONLY negative thing was it took bartender little longer than expected when pulling up a stool barside. Even that wasn't complaint worthy. Great service. Comforting atmosphere-if bars are comforting to you. Nice, stiff drinks. I went on a week night, so it wasn't overcrowded and noise level was at a low. My kind of place

Great variety of pinball tables with exceptionally priced drinks. One of my favorite weekend haunts, hands down. Pinball tables are a little pricier than other pinball bars in the area, but it is more than made up for with the drink prices. Where else in Seattle can you get a pint for $3? Also, the bartenders are phenomenal. After only going three times, several bartenders were able to get my order without me having to say anything. Highly recommended!

I love this place, but if you don't land in its target audience, it's probably inexplicably dirty and expensive. The drinks are very good and priced fairly, the gutter punk atmosphere is awesome (they played the Gits for like an hour once), and it's an arcade bar in a stellar location. However, the food is dumb even for bar food, the pinball machines cost too much and are often gimpy, and the back room (where the pinball is) frequently smells like urine. To be fair, Ms. Pac Man/Galaga is always in good condition. ...You'll likely love it or hate it, with no middle ground.

Love the style of this place, and I'd kind of forgotten that, but my wife and I needed somewhere to kill some time, and since she loves pinball, and I love cheap beer in a can, this was the perfect fit. Bartender was super sweet and welcoming, and Doolittle was blasting the whole time we were there.

I had a blast here. I was like a like a kid when playing the pin ball machines. I loved all the clowns hanging from the ceiling. Very unique. I will definitley be back!
