GameWorks Seattle

My first time here. A great spot! The staff was excellent including Diana who took great care of us this afternoon. Great draft beer selection and a tasty chicken sandwich. To be honest, I wasn’t sure how the food would be, but it was much better than I anticipated! Looking forward to returning here for drinks, food, and games

Very, very cool place and a great last minute find at the end of my vacation. It is a bit pricey though, per game, and for a super busy Saturday evening they had only two people working the bar so it was about a 20 minute wait to get a drink, which seems a bit ridiculous. With those prices they can definitely afford some more staff. Still, we had a phenomenal time there and would definitely go back.

Love that this place is not crowded on a Sunday! And they have my absolute favorite game ever- Taiko no Tasujin. And so many rhythm games! DDR X, DDR X2, DDR Supernova 2, Dance Maniax. They also had my other favorites- House of the Dead 2, 3, and 4 (although none of them the super cool ones you can sit inside but still amazing to have them all in one place) They also have some other newer games and VR releases such as Beat Saber. Prices on par with other chain arcades in the country. I want to go back on a Thursday for their All Day Gameplay for $25 deal! Removed one star because it's a pain to go ask for a restroom code and it was still kinda gross.

GameWorks in Seattle is an awesome spot for gamers of all ages, and if you’re in town on a Thursday, you need to take advantage of their all-day play deal: just $25 plus tax (under $30 total) for unlimited gaming. While this deal doesn’t apply to ticket or prize-based games, here’s the trick—some of the machines that normally give out tickets still let you play, they just don’t dispense the tickets. Considering those types of games usually cost 3 to 15 credits per play, this turns into an incredible bargain. What makes it so great is the freedom it gives you. Once you’ve paid, you don’t have to stress about how many credits you’re burning through or whether a game is "worth it"—you just play, explore, and enjoy. Whether you’re into classic arcade fighters, racing games, or rhythm-based titles, this deal is a no-brainer for a full day of fun. Highly recommended.

In my opinion, this is the best arcade in the greater Seattle area for kids. Other arcades are too tightly packed and too loud. There is a lot of variety and machines are well spaced apart with volume that is conducive to longer play sessions. Lots of seating as well. I feel like I can spend half a day here where as in other arcades I can’t spend more than 30 minutes before needing a break outside.

​GameWorks is easily the best arcade and gaming spot in the city. I've been a lot and had incredible memories there. The selection of games is fantastic—they have everything from the latest cutting-edge video games and VR setups to all the classic arcade and pinball machines that bring on the nostalgia. ​The atmosphere is super energetic and fun, perfect for a night out, a date, or even a team event. Wits nice that there's a full bar with great drinks and some surprisingly good food, to refuel and keep playing for hours. The place was clean, all the machines were working perfectly, and the staff was friendly and helpful.

The games are great. The food and service leaves a lot to be desired. We order the poutine and the cheese curds were not melted and still cold. We then checked out the bar downstairs since it was empty and the bartender not only rolled their eyes when we placed our drink but just looked like they were in a bad mood. We just decided to stick to the games and go to a local bar instead for food and drinks.
