Old-school arcade & pinball bar with retro vibes & cheap drinks
"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
"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
"Between the sticky floors, out-of-order pinball machines, and unattainable high-score records (screw you, BJL), arcade bars can be kind of a mess. Except for Add-A-Ball - the only arcade bar that will never let you down. This is no Dave & Busters—there are no children or old deep-fryer-oil smell, they have games like multiplayer Pac Man, and the beer, cider, and natural wine are 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
"We love Add-A-Ball. It’s an arcade bar with reasonably-priced beer and well cocktails that taste better than rubbing alcohol mixed with a hint of melted ice. We’ve had some of the best nights of our lives getting too emotionally invested in the four-player Pacman here, screaming at the top of our lungs when the little yellow guy eats a melon. Even though it’s small in here, there are plenty of machines, so you’ll never have to wait for anything in particular (except maybe to play Killer Queen)." - aimee rizzo
"Maybe your cousins just spent a lot of money on the flight here from Augusta, so you need somewhere that’s not too expensive but also not boring. Add-A-Ball is an arcade bar with reasonably-priced beer and well cocktails that don’t taste like ethanol and 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." - aimee rizzo
