"Not only does Add-a-ball boast the largest most diverse collection of vintage coin operated arcade machines in the city, but they have a giant Patrick Swazye mural, and references to Point Break sprinkled throughout the bar. What we're trying to say is, there's nothing else like Add-a-ball in the entire city of Seattle and it's absolutely worth a visit." - Wintr
"While most arcade bars are a mess, Add-A-Ball won't let you down. Unlike Dave & Busters, there are no children or old deep-fryer-oil smell. Instead, you'll find old school games like Pac Man with beer, cider, and natural wine all reasonably priced. Fremont’s full of bars, but we can guarantee you’ll have the best night in the neighborhood using up your pocket change here." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"If you need a place to drink that’s not too expensive but also not boring, you want Add-A-Ball. It’s an arcade bar with reasonably-priced beer, natural wine, and well cocktails that don’t taste like pain and melted ice. We’ve had some of the best nights of our lives getting too emotionally invested in the four-player Pac-Man here, or the vintage hockey table game upstairs that nobody plays." - aimee rizzo
"Nothing says “this romance has run out of HP” like a bar full of arcade machines. Grab a booth at Add-A-Ball and rip off the band-aid over some cheap tallboys of Rainier. People are so busy playing games that nobody will notice if you get a drink thrown in your face. Before you break the news, you might want to play a few rounds of Time Crisis 2 or multiplayer Pac Man - you’re not going to have a player two by your side for a while." - aimee rizzo
"An arcade bar is always a great idea, and the best one in town is Add-A-Ball, complete with reasonably-priced beer and well cocktails that don’t taste like melted ice. We’ve had some of the best nights of our lives getting too emotionally invested in the four-player Pacman here, but there’s also a Killer Queen you should take advantage of, if you can figure out how to play it. Also important: on some Saturdays from 6-11pm, Good Shape, a pizza pop-up, is onsite serving phenomenal personal pizzas and cheeseburger pinwheels, two dishes practically designed for consumption while gaming (and during birthdays)." - aimee rizzo
