I live a few blocks away and have been meaning to check this place out for a while now. Ended up meeting some local friends who are fans there last night for drinks and games and I had a blast. It's a cozy dive with free video games, so what's not to like? I made sure to bring quarters for the pinball machines too, and had fun checking out a few of them (my personal favorite was the South Park pinball). Nice to see from other reviews that they also have good food and I didn't check out the loft because we were enmeshed in chatting and playing Frogger for way too long. I. Will. Be. Back. Oh, and my tab for my three drinks plus four beers for my friends was waaaaay less than I had expected. Which was AWESOME!

I live around the corner and like to stumble in at least once a week for a game and a couple beers. There are a handful of arcade cabinets with hundreds of games to choose from (free to play) as well as pinball machines (quarters). Beers are cheap, and the selection is decent despite lack of draughts. There's an upstairs loft area with consoles set up (nes and Atari), as well as a collection of board games. Something for everyone, assuming you like fun. In short, it's a solid place to hang out, play some games, and drink some beers. What more could you ask for in a barcade?

This place is excellent! The staff was great when we had a birthday gathering there. We took over the cozy upstairs loft. Awesome beer selection and a great selection of games. I really wish them well and hope that they prosper. I wish their hours were expanded on the weekends

This place is awesome. Just flat out awesome. Cheap beer, nice staff, and a great selection of classic video games. The even have my esoteric favorites like Nightmare in the Dark and Magical Drop III. Well worth the drive.

Great addition to North Admiral. The bar itself is a typical dive bar, but what sets this place apart is all the arcade games and pinball machines - the arcade games are free. In addition to a pretty good bottled beer and spirit selection they also have build your own hot sandwiches, which hits the spot after getting an ass kicking on Super Mario Brothers, I remember being good at it once. If your looking for a cheap night out in West Seattle, swing by for $2 Hamms and free games.

Absolutely love this place! Dive bar + free unlimited coinop and MAME cabinets. Normally MAME stuff is never worth paying for, but free on big screens with good arcade sticks is a win. Gotta check it out on a weekend.

Video games, old console systems, and pinball in a small dark cave. Drinks are reasonably priced considering the video games are free. I'd add pizza and nachos to the menu.

Fairly priced drinks and HUNDREDS of FREE arcade games. Also lots of TVs up but they were all playing cartoons (which is a plus for me). Most are older games, so do not expect the newest or trendiest games here. I got to play through Michael Jackson's Moonwalker which is hilarious after a few drinks. My fiance and I also got "The Club" sandwich which was huge and super delicious. It can feel kind of cramped after a few people show up, so if you plan to marathon some gaming, you might want to show up a little early. Staff was incredibly friendly and even showed us how to play some obscure games when it wasn't too busy.

This place is damn cool... If you like video games this is the place for you. 5.50$ for an IPA is a small price to pay as most of the games are free. Lots of arcade games an one with the capability to play hundred games or so including NEO GEO! I'll be coming back for sure. They have food of sorts too to my understanding. WOOT!

I just got back from hanging out at this place and love the concept of craft beer & arcade. I enjoyed some of the pinball games. There was a driving game that was broken. The star wars driving game was really hard but fun. Was great that everything other than pinball was free. I think my main criticism is that it is small and somewhat scenster. maybe that's just what you get in seattle. Plus I had my ass felt up just as I played a pinball game & earned multiball!! I have no patience for douchey bros. Maybe it's not fair to give a rating of the patrons of a place to but it's part of my experience of this bar. I think 4 stars is adequate. ..maybe generous.

On a smokey Saturday night, while looking to escape the stress of work and wild fires burning up half the state, I set my sights on Vidiot at a local recommendation. Eager to find a new video game hang out on the other side of town, I walked there from Alki Beach after dinner. The walk was a tad more work than I expected, but I was not to be dissuaded from video games and beer. Passing through the local bush of West Seattle, I saw houses ranging from dilapidated to fully renovated mixed in with the eclectic local flare I've come to expect from various Seattle neighborhoods. I especially enjoyed the large metal rooster on the corner of someone's property. The discovery of an incoming multi unit complex beginning construction was another sign that the neighborhood was in the middle of a transformation. Gone are the wild days of West Seattle natives. We are now watching the loss of the native West Seattle habitat. As the building housing Vidiot came into view, I was guided around the back alley area where several people were out on the street participating in the normal watering hole gathering activities. As I peered into the building, I looked down one hallway that had signs for the bathroom and not to go further. Behind that was the shadow of broken video consoles. The other end had more broken consoles, and as I rounded the corner, I finally discovered the main area. After walking past the bar and looking confused, two bartenders turned to greet strangers. After checking IDs and taking orders, I was given a can of beer from a small fridge. Going to a bar in the middle of West Seattle, I would have expected a tap list, but I took my beer like the weary soldier visiting Al Udeid when taking some time off from Iraq. Turning to gaze at the territory, I found a few games that caught my eye. The Simpsons is always at the top of my list, so I mentally bookmarked that for later. After going through the area, I was able to discern there was a pretty small pool of game types, which could be summarized into the categories shooter, driving and nearly broken. As I rounded the games, through the dim lights and talking guests, I smelled first then spotted the rare hipster pot dealer. In shock, I found myself wondering how in the modern age with recreational and medical shops all around the wild, hipster pot dealer could survive. The territory loss alone had put them on their heels for years now, and other than the iconic city dwelling dealers, they have all but disappeared. Here I was privileged to see an actual, factual dealer in the wild, slinging bags for guests on request. It made me feel kind of bad for him, knowing that he used to run wild delivering cannabis and happiness to those looking for his services. Now, he was here trying to compete with the changing markets and loss of territory. Watching him sell dime bags was by far the most entertaining part of the evening, as playing The Simpsons with unlimited credits turned out to be disappointing, since I die pretty quick between credits. Driving and shooting games have only limited appeal for me, so after taking a couple tries, I finished my beverage and left. Charging a cover fee or charging for games and investing that money in some taps and game repairs would keep some business around instead of watching it go out the door. I feel like I missed Vidiot's heyday.
