Customer Reviews

I used to come here all the time and have fun. I love playing pinball. It always puts a smile on my face. I decided to go yesterday and it was busy. I was with my spouse and child. I guess there was a pinball tournament going on but there was no way to tell for us. We were putting quarters in machines and just playing having fun . At one point a drunk woman claiming it was her birthday grabbed me violently and pulled me away staying she was playing the machine. The machine I just put money in. Mind you

I had a pretty good time more like a authentic arcade with alcohol then a bar with arcade games. But I had alot of fun trying out different arcade recently. They sold cheese and crackers. No food food but snacks and had a few places 10 minutes out or so. Fun overall.

Despite being a compact space, there's a great selection of classic and more recent arcade games, pinball machines, and light-gun cabinets. The per-play costs are very reasonable. It reminds me of the arcade experiences of my youth, except the space and machines are all clean and there isn't a background smell of bleach & burnt pizza. I was pleased that it has a classic Donkey Kong cabinet, and it had recently been reset, so I was able to get the high score and feel like Steve Wiebe for an evening.

Amazing selection of classic arcades and pinballs. Most everything set to quarter or $.50 play. Also, a great selection of beers and snacks to choose from. Quite a few NW craft breweries to try from. Great place to bring the family too. Would highly recommend.

What a fun and out if the ordinary experience. Came for date night. Played a bunch of games had a few drinks. A n8ghy well spent!

The staff was very rude and not helpful. Customer service is definitely not a requirement to be employed here. The two gentlemen had an awful attitude towards not only my family but the people who came in after us.

Great place and friendly staff! My kids and I had a great time here! Great place to spend a few hours doing something fun and nostalgic.

I LOVE THEIR PINBALL MACHINES! They have the best pinball machines ever! If I want to go hang out at a place to have fun, I would definitely choose this place. I love pinball. When I first came here, I thought it was a video game store. But I when looked on the other side of the wall, my dreams of playing pinball machines started to come true. I would definitely recommend this to anybody who loves pinball!!!

Amazing place to go have fun with the family and kids very clean place safe environment.

If you want to have a chill night, and get some nostalgia going this is the spot to go to. There are a variety of retro arcade games, pinball and tournaments, friendly staff and an all around good vibe. Most machines are two to three quarters to play and 20 got me through a few hours of playing. 10/10 will be coming back.

Food & drinks (even just chips & canned soda!) & I'd give it 5 stars. So much easier to keep playing pinball all night if there's snacks! Great pinball machines, though, & I'm in love with the Mario-esque mushroom stools.

I LOVE this place, probably been here over 50 times, great snacks, good video games, and a shop, the shop has a great selection of games for old and new gamers, I enjoy it a lot and buy most of my games from there, great place should and would come again

Not that expensive game are less than $1.00 to be exact .25 cents

One of my favorite spots to regular, with an ever changing selection of classic pinball machines (and even some newer ones) in rotation it never gets old. A fun and affordable date night, meeting up with friends, or just killing some time on the way home it is perfect for most occasions.

Editing our 5 star review from 6 years ago. We used to come in all the time and would even have parties. Post covid it seems a lot of the staff changed so the vibe seems different. Person at the counter seemed less inviting. Had plans on bringing a group in this weekend and blowing a couple hundred bucks or so on quarters and buying drinks but the manager made it sound like we would be imposing because we would take up too many tables. I get it, I guess, but I've never seen the place too busy to accommodate

So much fun! Even my elderly parents have fun here. Who doesn't love pinball!?! Machines are maintained and they usually have the latest pin ball machines. There are also other arcade games. They sell sodas, beer and wine. No food, however, you can bring food in. Don't be intimidated by the decor or staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful, professional and nice. Get good at pinball and join a tournament!! So much fun here for everyone!!

Meh.. A small old arcade place not much options. Maybe stay for 10, 15min that's it not fun.

This place rules! I had to move out of state for family reasons, and I wish so badly there was something remotely like it in my new neighborhood. I'll be visiting the Seattle area next week and it's on the top of my list of nostalgic places to revisit. <3

Fun arcade and staff is fun to chat with, though waiting time does needa be improved if customer wants to get game or console

Great arcade! Plenty of variety in the choices of pinball, video games, even a candy crane game(play till you win). The atmosphere is exciting and fun. Offers beer too!

Awesome spot! The workers here are always so cool, they have great snacks, and all of the arcade/pinball cabinets play very well. It's a great place to have a drink with a friend, bring your kids for some fun, or even put in some headphones by yourself and get lost in some games. Check it out!

Felt kind of like a bait and switch with the actual price being 50% more than sticker. I probably wouldn't have cared if it had been three times the price in the first place, I just don't like feeling ripped off. Good selection but I'll stick to online purchases.

Me and the kids love going to this place. New games and new fun. The 4 player Japanese game is so fun. So is Halo.

Edmonds having an arcade off 99 is pretty cool. However, I can't recommend selling or trading in ANY of your games here. You will get insulting offers like $0.35 for a game they'll resell for over $10. The only redeeming quality aside from the arcade here is that they do have a decent selection of retro video games and their pricing is competitive with the market. I won't be return to sell games here anymore but I do enjoy their arcade from time to time.

Always a fun place to celebrate a birthday, or just kick it with friends. Fun for all ages.

solid arcade with a handful of classic arcade games and a great selection of pinball, both classic and modern

This place is INCREDIBLE, and so are the staff! We had a company get-together here the other night, and it was the most fun I have ever had! The atmosphere, the games, the fact that you can choose what music to play and are able to take pictures on a TV platform and send them to yourself It was absolutely incredible. They also brought out Rock Band later on in the night, and I have to say that is SO AWESOME! THEN, to top it all off, they were playing Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire on the TV in the sitti

I've been coming to this place for years. The drinks are always amazing. I wasn't big on pinball until I hung out here, they have pinball for all skill levels. Everyone is very helpful when it come to learning games. The games are very well kept too.

I love this place! JUST ABOUT any gaming system one could ask for. Arcades are always fun. And a great way to kill a little time! At a quarter a play on average. I feel like a kid at the mall arcade! The hours posted aren't the FULL hours. Those are for the OTHER half of the place where adults can enjoy a cold beer while they test their skills against other locals in pinball tournaments! So much fun! Recommend for all ages.

Just really fun all around. Pinball is cool, and if you want you can get candy and drinks and get them with quarters so no need to use cash unless you want to use the vending machine

Great arcade with many pinball machines decent drink selection. Bathrooms and tables need to be cleaned.

Easily the the most chill and accepting communities/establishments in King/Snohomish County. All the games are 25 or 50 cents, huge beer selection, inviting regulars, regular pinball tournaments and karaoke. Never had a bad experience here after 4 years of coming here. Definitely a ?go to? for the area.

Love this place. Lots of games, great selection of beers, friendly staff.

You probably drove by it all the time. Do yourself a favor and drop in with a date or your kids and drop a few dollars and possibly enjoy a cold one. Have fun, thank me later.

By far one of the best pinball places to go to in North Seattle. Super welcoming community. Problem with a game? Let the ?beertender? know and they will give you your money back!

Great place for retro arcade games. Great cheap (cost) beer selection. Kid friendly throughout, but alcohol is only allowed in the upper section. Upper section has a load of pinball games and a few arcade games. Parking is limited, and weekends can get a bit busy, they do have parking down below in the back.

What's not to love? Video arcade you can bring your kid to and have a family game night, and enjoy some beverages. The staff have always been great, too

The arcade and connected store have tons of games. Buy a retro game from the store and play pinball or a light gun coin op. Machines rotate on the regular for variety. There's drinks for purchase. A lot of detail in this place; even the bathroom has great artwork. Highly recommended for any gaming fan.

Perfectly decent arcade. The game selection leaves some to be desired but they have TMNT IV: Turtles in Time and a fair few pinball machines so you really have all you need. I have, however been on multiple occasions where no machines weren't being played. Overall, it's fun for a while but the games selection will seem more and more restrictive as your night goes on.

Warning: You may have the best time of your life and potentially spend lots of money. Used games, merchandise, beer, arcade games, pinball. Fun for all ages. Go now!

I came here to purchase an arcade cabinet, came out with a renewed confidence in arcades still existing. Owners were accommodating, staff was friendly and knowledgeable; it only took one visit to want to come back! Beer selection, classic & modern arcade games, attached to a used / new video game store, pinball machines, worth every quarter! ??????

Best arcade around!! They have this old game there called Ice Cold Beer, it's sooo much fun! I wish they'd take on more arcade games and less pinball machines, like make that one area on the platform just pinball machines, and the rest just arcade games. Pinball is AWESOME, don't get me wrong, but I feel you'd get more customers and more customers staying longer if there was more of an arcade selection. At least I know I'd be there longer and more often. Oh, and take out Blitz, that game is a total ripoff a

We loved this place. There is not a lot of food or drinks here but it has a bunch of arcade games. Lots of pinball machines. I personally loved the avengers pinball machine a lot. Apart from pinball, this place also has a mario cart, one single super mario arcade game which was super fun as well. It is a super reasonable price. E.g. super mario is a quarter for a game of 3 lives. My wife and I spent more than an hour there and had lots of fun. Few tips. Machines only accept cash, so either bring cash or bri

Fantastic arcade with a large selection of machines to use. Employees are funny and knowledgeable. Huge beer selection. Machines are all priced very well, a few bucks goes a long way. Front parking lot is a little small but there is more parking in back.

Pretty cool spot to hang out and have some drinks. 2$ tall boys on Tuesdays ??. Only reason it's not 5 stars is it you aren't into pinball you have to go back and forth between areas for drinking/gaming. Theres also a game shop connected if you get the impulse to buy some old games.

Love this place normally, and come frequently. Tonight however I was told that I could not play one of the games because it was being saved for someone. 5 minutes later the bartender abandons her bar to come play. I guess staff come first here. There was no tournament occurring at the time I was wanting to play the game. I was told by the boyfriend of the bartender that I could not play until she came back from the bar to play. Very unprofessional.

This is a great place for those who are the true gamer geeks or people who are game lovers in general. They've got iconic arcade games and sell different things that only a gamer would dream of having lol. Whenever I go here, I have fun and the staff are always very nice and knowledgeable!

Went here to hang out and ended up staying for a long time. We really liked the Mario Kart and DDR games, but there are about 50 others to play. Snacks are really cool Japanese style and they have Ramune too!!! Would highly recommend.

I highly recommend another Castle. It's great if you want to have a drink and play some old school video games. I just happened to go on a night that they had a pinball tournament and that was kind of cool as well to watch. It's great to see all that old school nostalgic stuff not die!

They have stools!! My son is under the age of 4 so the stools are a huuuuge plus. It's the most adorable thing to see him run to find a stool and play basketball. Chloe is the one of the employees and she's always so nice and approachable, acknowledges my son and that's always a plus. Definitely recommend.

Another Castle is a local legend of an establishment. Beer and retro games? What else does one need in life?! Staff is super cool. Awesome selection of games and beverages. Highly recommend to check it out.

This place is dear to my heart. The nostalgia I get from here is dope. Reminiscent of the dark arcades of the 90s with all the retro 2d shooters and side scrolling madness in tandem with the pinball bumpers and madness. And it's kid friendly

This place is great very cheap , most games are just 50 cents. Lots of pinball machines and some retro classics we all love . They sell beer too and each game has beer holders for your beer while you play

Been going to this place for years, always welcoming and the pins are always in perfect playing condition. I heard the owner is opening a new barcade in Seattle... good luck, Tim!

A great local business with an awesome selection of games. Owner is very responsive to the needs of customers and is always looking to do things better. Such an awesome place to go!

Super fun arcade/game store. Lots of classic games in the store and in the arcade, knowledgeable staff that can find what you're looking for if they don't have it. Pinball tournaments, and Disney kaoroke. Fellow nerds rejoice, you have found a new hangout, if you haven't already discovered this gem.

Can't use tokens. Has to be real cash and coins. But they have game for a good price. I recommend coming here to get games. I have a question: do I have to be 18 to get a shooting game because last time I went their, they said I had to be 18?

Awesome place, great staff! Very friendly atmosphere. Wednesday is the day to go! Karaoke night is always popping around 9-10 pm

I always have a positive experience every time I step into this store. Many great games, and staff is always friendly. They also seem to have frequent additions of new games to their shelves.

Amazing set of pinball machines, very friendly/knowledgeable staff, I really wish the arcade machines saved high scores permanently, but this place is awesome regardless!

EVERY GAME IS 50?!! EVERY GAME IS 50?!! Another Castle has all of the classic games, plus pinball, newer style games and tons of multi-player fun. What you won't find is cash eating, ticket spewing, black holes meant to rob you blind and send you home with a $50 cheap plastic race car. If claw games, coin pushers, or modern carnival traps are your thing look elsewhere, this place is not that. Another Castle isEXACTLY what an arcade is supposed to be, good ol' video game fun! Also, Chloe is awesome, tip her

They have Tetris! Some machines ate quarters, staff was cool, loads of pinball, kids welcome.

Came in here a couple times trying to get an old 360 fixed sadly it was doa but this last time I came in Michael was there and helped me find out that a 360 I was about to scrap was actually still in working order he called up another store and had them put the power cable aside for me and helped me find the kits to fix my joycon drift was very helpful and even though the store started getting busy still took the time to answer all my questions will come again just for that customer service

Great idea, but need to figure out a solution on where beer can be placed. I put my beer in the wrong place and the worker placed it in a booth while I was playing a game. There were 2 of the same drinks at that table when I went to grab my beer and I didn't know which was mine. Half a beer wasted.

This place is so much fun. Arcade games, beer, kid and adult friendly. You won't brake your bank on any of it, very moderately priced for the fun.

This is my goto for arcades in the area. The game selection is amazing, and everything is priced perfectly. I love showing friends this place when they come to visit.

Where to start? If you are looking for a great arcade with a vintage feel, you can stop looking??This place is great for a fun date or hanging out with friends! They sell beer too.

This place is always awesome, lotsa games, some pinball, beers. Even a place to play a little console games like Xbox One! Grabbed a snack and a brew and attempted to get my initials on a few machines.

Great atmosphere. Many local pinball tournaments. They even have a DDR machine! Along with a wide selection of new and retro games.

Pinball machines in good condition. Attached video game store where you can find games for most systems, plus fun collector's stuff. And they have a 4 player Pac-Man machine!

Loud and obnoxious neighbors to the residents that live near. In response to the "owner" . When your customers go out and smoke close the damn door so the music does not spread through out the neighborhood. The police have asked you before about that. Don't blame car noise on your loud music.

Love the arcade area it's so much fun plus they serve beer how could you go wrong?! When trading games I call it ?Another Rip-off? honestly your better off just selling on offerup but love their business!

Excellent "hole-in-the-wall" arcade packed with fifty cent pinball machines. Varied events practically daily and reasonable prices on canned beer.

Having grown up in arcades, I was in heaven here. It was like taking a step back in time. I'm so glad places like this still exist. I'll be coming here more often. Highly recommended!

A little pricey, but a great selection of games, consoles and accessories. Also a cool arcade, but I wish they could squeeze in a few more games.

This place is responsible for me getting so into Pinball definitely lost a ton of quarters to this place and I wouldn't change it for the world. Looking forward to coming here again hopefully in the near future.

Lots of fun, shops, arcades, pinball, and beer.

Games, brews, and a really great overall vibe. They take great care of the machines. An arcade that has your back. Easily one of my favorites

I love this place, I play the Initial D game everytime I'm there, but the hours must be wrong because I drove overthrew tonight and it was closed it said open tell 2am. Really disappointing it's happened a few times.

This place is way more cool than it should be and is probably one of the last places in Seattle where you can entertain yourself and friends for hours with merely a handful of quarters! Do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Pin ball, great crowd, karaoke *and* all ages! What is there not to love? Highly recommend stopping by and having some fun ??

Amazing prices and great selection of new and retro games, accessories and consoles. Very friendly employees with amazing customer service. Would recommend going 10/10

One of the best places to go on a late night! Has so many fun pinball games and others too!

This place is great! Retro style arcade that takes me back to the good old days. My kids love it too!

Love this place. Open source DDR is great. Beer selection is good if you want a drink or two.

Pinball and racing and retro games, 21+ area with beer and chips and such, karaoke Wednesdays and assorted tournaments. Love it here!

It's an arcade with a side of alcohol sales, not a bar. Go in expecting that. Weirdness with the DDR machine. Still a great time.

Go here regularly. Old fashion arcade fun, pinball machine galore, even those parripating in the tournament are very welcoming.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.

What should I bring to an arcade?

Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.

Are arcades still just for kids?

Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
