Great spot to grab a beer and play some pinball . They also have Whack A Mole !!!

bobdrawson

If you are afraid of clowns , not your place. But if you want a awesome local seen with some classic pinball you're at the right place. They also have Golden tee here.

Phill Ramey

Great selection of pinball machines . Food options are quick, simple (hot dogs and nachos ), and good for washing down with a cold beer .

Amy Robertson

Pinball , pbr , and friendly dog roaming are only some things that make it totally awesome

Todd Alexander

Great spot! One of the quirkiest bars I've ever been to. Fun for all ages! Alcohol and video games ? How can you go wrong?

Men's Health Mag

Remember how much fun the carnival was as a kid? Okay, now add a fully stocked bar and you understand the idea behind this place. Order a blue moon, hold the orange , and find the Pinball Cove.

Greg Milani

Cheap beer and arcades ! Go have fun!

Jack Reeves

A seattle dive staple. Slushes . Good beer selection . Friendly enough staff . Pinball in the back.

Susi Stuart

The hot dogs are amazing (duh), the beer is cheap (again, duh), and the bartenders are very rad if you're not an asshole. It's my replacement for Minneapolis' Triple Rock.

marguerite cottrell

everything about this place is awesome. service and pinball cannot be beat. clientele is another matter

DRAZ

Skip the bar put a fiver in the change machine and go hit the pinball machines in the next room. My favorite second on the left.

Nathan Lindberg

Any idiot that thinks Game Works has better pinball has never been to Game Works and apparently came to Shorty's after a bad weekend. These games are old but well maintained. Alas, they do break.

Amy B

Semi-dive bar with good drinks & games. Only bummer is all the smokers standing near the outside tables .

Haonan

Newly renovated wrap around bar in the back is awesome!!!

Michael Chaille

A step up from the game room and copper top bar you pass to get here. Low key hip , out of the way and a great place to chill . Cash only !

M Fong

Killer drinks and good vibe in the Belltown area. Sit in a chair in the back and spin around until you get sick.

Desmond Clark

Check out the trophy room. It's at the very back. It's an experience, if it's open...

Darmok (Edison Carter)

The veal should be tried at least once.

Jason

Get the cream cheese and melted cheddar cheese on top of your all beef dog. Messy but delicious!

Silvia Adriana

Hotdogs , beer and pinball ! It's a fun place.

Chris

Clown themed pinball and hot dog bar

The Seattle Times

A haunt for many bartenders . Those aren't slot machines you're hearing. They're pinball machines . Hot dogs , popular not just for the hung-over at night but also for the hungry during the day. Read more

Mark Abel

Play the boxing pinball machine ... as a guy who group up with pinball machines at his house it is one of the best.

Peter den Hartog

Great bar with decent hot dogs .

William Betterton

Such a fun dive bar with great pinball .

Michelle Donnelly

The jukebox rocks...and don't play garbage cuz they'll shut it down. Thankfully!!

Mike Berlin

I don't care what anyone says, Arabian Nights is the best machine. Soooo much fun!

Kris Stillwell

Don't try going here during the Christmas season . You won't even be allowed in the door! I will never go back. There are a lot of other bars .....go to anyone of those!

Johan Lieu

Cheap beers and arcade games . Frickin' amazing.

Shri L

$5 bullet bourbon happy hr

Brad Graham

"A legendary spot that draws all types of personalities, from professional cooks to hipster douchebags ."

Desmond Clark

The men's soon has special music over the urinal that you should hear.

Brendon Culberson

Hot dogs are left out all day, eat at your own risk. Haha Seattle's number three place for hot dogs , are you kidding. Don't believe the hype, this place is a joke.

Troy Morris

Happy Hour all day Sunday. Opens at noon, so be prepared for a long day, but happy day

Terrence

Evil Knievel pinball is busted, but you can keep getting free games for over 200,000 pts if you keep hitting the 3000 pt hole near the top.
