    Air hockey table

    Been to this location multiple times as it is in walking distance to the convention center. The food is good and the service is excellent. It's a little difficult to navigate through all the games before you find the actual restaurant part. During peak times like PAX and ECCC this is a great place to go so you don't pay the high costs of inside the convention center

    Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore arcade fan, this place has something for everyone. From classic pinball and air hockey to the latest racing, Japanese rhythm game, and VR games. My fav was dance dance revolution. The atmosphere is lively, with bright lights, great music, and plenty of space to move around. I booked my session using GetOutPass, where I get access to multiple local venues similar to GoCity. Use coupon code: sale1 for an extra $5 discount on top of existing promotions, if you end up getting the pass to explore more of Seattle. The Woodland Zoo and Underground tour is also included in the pass and not far from here

    We went during an event for esports the first time so it was very crowded and slow to get drinks but I don't think anybody minded too much. If they did they just didn't get a drink. The second time we went it was slow and no real wait for service. There were plenty of games to play and it was cool exploring the different areas including computer game space. The couches and colored blocks/tables were obviously worn but it's an arcade. I wouldn't expect it to be pristine.

    Was there for a group party organized by others and got a free unlimited card for the night, so I cannot comment on prices. This kind of place seems to be anachronistic, games are waaaaaay better at home with a console or pc. Very noisy with outdated arcade games from a distant past. The nostalgia effect lasted like 10 minutes, after that it was kinda boring and obnoxiously loud. Not sure what kids might think about it, didn't see too many, mostly adults. Not for me.

    If you're a fan of arcade games, this is the place to be -- Gameworks is nestled right into the heart of Downtown Seattle, and features many levels of all the classic games. It was a great way to spend a Friday night and my only qualm is that it's closed by 10PM on Fridays and Saturdays. The game tokens are fairly affordable and you get a decent amount of gameplay for ~$30 per person. Most of the games were functional, but there were a couple either out of order or acting up! I particularly loved the Street Fighter, Skee Ball, carnival-esque games, Pac-Man, Jurassic Park, among others! There are tons to choose from and I would totally come back with a larger group since there's something for everyone!

    GameWorks is back! Not much has changed and they are still ramping up but I had a blast. The areas are clean and there are a variety of games. The bar areas downstairs and upstairs have seating and is 21+. They have a variety of drinks and the beer is cold. There is also a limited food menu downstairs as well. For the arcade, the machines worked mostly great. However, some of the games are pricy and it would be great if the credits were lower. For credit options, there are a few. I understand the staff are still getting up to speed but I asked if the options by the register were the only ones available only to find out there was a special as well (which I would have purchased as I spent more for less). I will be back to check it out again soon and see changes. Overall, it's worth going to as they work out the kinks.

    Racing game!

    Lots of fun games to play, awesome drinks in the bar too! Took my godson after the Sounders match and spent the rest of our night, just having fun! Awesome service from both bartenders and game rewards people. Very welcome and clean interior, very well kept up. Can't wait to come back and rack up more rewards points!

    Mocha-Spresso milkshake. Love that presentation!

    Heads up: due to counterfeit bills, this place will not accept anything higher than $20 bills. I also did notice that there's a small fee when paying with a card for the restaurant. Other than that, the food and drinks were great, me and my fam had an awesome time playing the games. The prizes seemed to get cooler too hehe.

    Three unicorns for our favorite unicorn!

    Ha! So fun! Sure we spent $200 between 6 people.... But we got 3 unicorns! Blah blah blah

    A huge arcade spanning across two floors with lots of different games! There's even dedicated areas for various genres such as board games and PC. A couple of areas are blocked off still, but for the most part is open including the restaurants. I am only interested in rhythm games, particularly the dance machines. For DDR, this place has DDR Supernova 2, DDR Supernova 2, and DDR Revolution X for 10 credits each round. I tried two of the machines but the pads were too insensitive. There is a PIU XX though! It's a new machine that costs 12 credits to play. Note that it is popular and can have waits to take turns with other players. As for other rhythm machines, Pop'n Music was functional. The right side of left drum for the Taiko game is not however. A game card has an upfront $2 activation fee that deposits 14 credits worth $3.50. After purchasing, I filled mine with the supercharge value of 120 credits for $22. The Wi-Fi is slow and not reliable.

    Came in on a Friday night and learned that Old Stove Brewing gets busy for a reason! All the…read moreoutdoor tables were full when we arrived at 6, so we put our name on the list for inside and waited about 30 minutes. The oysters were the main draw for me, and they were totally worth the visit. Old Stove serves them with a savory watermelon sauce in addition to a traditional cocktail sauce--eaten together, it's a flavor explosion that I can't quite describe. We also enjoyed the garlic everything fries, which were delicious! We just had to try a flight to sample the brews. There are some really good beers available here, especially the Belgian blonde, citra pale ale, and the stout. I did not really care for the seasonal sour (grapefruit, I think)--to me, it just tasted like a sour and nothing more, but someone with more interest in sour beers would probably enjoy it just fine. Despite the busy night, our server checked on us regularly and was very personable, stopping to chat with us about the local sports scene. There's plenty to look at, inside and out. If you can snag a seat outside, you'll get to enjoy the waterfront. Inside, the decor is industrial but fun. Not sure if this runs all the time, but when we were there, the tvs were playing vintage beer ads, which was quite fun. They also sell some pretty good t-shirt designs. Overall, Old Stove Brewing is the perfect combo of good location, good food, and good beer. Definitely recommend a visit when in the Pike Place area!

Outside seating is first come first serve and inside seating you have to see a hostess. We started outside and saw someone leaving and circle them like vultures. We got lucky, it was 4th of July weekend, so it was busy! We ordered pizza for the table and for my toddler. It was really good! He loves the pepperoni. My order was the salmon burger. They used a good slab of coho, nicely seasoned with a aioli. The fries were crunchy and nice. I shared with my husband and it was just right, since we had a bunch of apps at the market. We also got a round of beers. Or in my case I got their hard seltzer, which wasn't too bad, I would probably just get a light beer next time. Service was great outside! Also you get the nice breeze, they also had heaters on top. Picnic style tables and quick service!
