Great bar with great bar bites, diverse set of arcades. Outdoor seating is cool. They have a vending machine for little convenience items, a photo booth, and clean bathrooms.

A warm and friendly find, conveniently next to a cable car stop, and perfect after a day shopping the vintage clothing shops in Polk Gulch.Unassuming, but nice interior. Classic wood, two fireplaces. Brynn, the bar tender was welcoming (her 1st day!), and quick with gin & tonic.There is a nice pool table.

This place is amazing. It has it all. Live music, food drinks, arcade cabinets and of course pinball. 4 rows of pinball at that. It has a great selection of tables from vintage retro tables like hard bodies to some of the newer stuff. Plus Adams family pinball. As well they have brand new arcade games from. Indy developers. This place stands out in the scene for sure. If your into pinball or arcade bars its an absolute must. Take the trip and you wont regret it

For games and beers, this is a great option. Less grunge and more games than Shortys

Parked ourselves here to celebrate a friends birthday. Zekis is off from Polk Street so its not too busy or crowded in the immediate area, but there is definitely a lot of life inside Zekis!

I’ve come here for drinks and games constantly and the it’s the best! My most recent visit involved food which I had low expectations since it’s “bar food.” It was great, surprisingly! Jupiter has a great selection of beers and ciders as well.

Fun place to hang out and beat your friends at pinball and other old school games. Good drinks and pretty cool art on the walls. They have the older pinball machines which are fun and I believe only a quarter.

Incredible Belltown bar in Seattle!Awesome place! Bartenders are friendly and nice. Been coming here since moving to Seattle and I love the atmosphere. If you haven’t been I would recommend you check it out and definitely play some arcade games!

Opens friday the 17th, got a preview lots of social distancing space and room to move. Cant wait to play pinball.

Neat atmosphere. Dive bar look with an upper-class feeling to it...very Seattle. If using Seattle as an adjective is unknown to you, visit this oh so very Seattle place to understand the qualities implied upon its use. Its hard to explain, but very real, and seen frequently throughout town and nearby places.

Super fun bar with pinball and arcade machines. If you have enough people or find a group, try your hand at Killer Queen team arcade game! The bartender pours heavier on the liquor and uses slightly nicer bottles for cocktails.

Didnt know this place existed!! Barcade with a really great selection of games. Drinks run a bit pricey but its a great place to hang out and clearly can hold a decent number of people! Try the Pong game out its super cool!

Dope spot! Played the arcade games from our childhood and had a blast! All the games were affordable as well. We heading back I strongly encourage anyone in the area to stop by!

Had a blast here. Its a little too loud but I had a lot of fun. My whiskey sour was super strange(in a bad way) and tasted nothing like a whiskey sour. There was a lot of ingredients added and Im not sure why so my review is based on the vibe and the fun I had not the drink quality. I loved the graffiti all over the bathroom and the art on the walls.

One of the best pinball bars in Seattle. Great selection of machines in generally good condition with fair 50 cent pricing. Can get quite loud and crowded at peak times, but still great.

Duhhh! Hands down coolest bar in Belltown. Arcade games galore. Cokd Rainier beers. Beautiful art covering the inside walls. My favorite stop after midnight. Dont worry, they have ample change machines for getting loads of quarters. Try the Rainier Beer games near the back bar. So hard to get to even level 4!!! Good times!!!!

I believe this is the first time Ive ever been truly excited and in awe by a bar. The wall art is sublime, diverse, and everywhere to the point where it should be listed as an art gallery. I was like a kid in a museum of pinball and arcade games, with some that are over 7 decades old. The staff are genuine and fascinating to the point where I hung out and spoke with the owner for at least 30 mins, an artist himself, with one of the most amazing murals on display. We were introduced to Jupiters by Seattle locals Quincy & Megan. We were only in town a couple nights, and even though this city had so much to offer, this was the absolute highlight. Weve got some world leading bars in my home city of Sydney, Australia, but then again I dont think Ive seen anything like Jupiters in mine or any city Ive traveled to.

The games are fantastic! Totally 5 stars for the variety and selection. Saturday night was (of course, obviously) crowded, unpleasantly so, but if youre there earlier in the afternoon or evening youll have a great time.

Review №28

Really awesome murals throughout. Nice kitchen and bar setup w booths. Food, good. Large selection of pinball and arcade to boot. I really liked this place, I still like this place, but they removed the pool table. The only pool table that I know in Belltown was removed for more arcade and pinball I can find elsewhere.Barcades aren’t a niche anymore I can find one in every neighborhood. What I can’t find is one pool table out here! My feeling is that this was to maximize floor space and profit by sacrificing variety. I think this was a poor move on their part and I am sorely disappointed I won’t be playing pool here anymore.

Great space to bring back the 90s with the video game arcade yet a modern-style room atmosphere in the front. Almost like business up front party in the back LOL

It really seemed like the bartender hated his job and my group and I felt like a burden, even on a night when its expected to be busy. Drinks were good but I hesitate to go back after feeling inferior to the staff.

Cool arcade bar. As we walked in theres a tattoo place down the street where my girlfriend and I saw a woman getting tattooed but her pants were down funny that you could see it from the street. But awesome area I like it

Come to the pinball tournament every Wednesday - you give Dwayne $5 and you keep playing until you lose three games. My coworkers know how well I did without even asking based on how hungover I am on Thursday morning. You can win baseball cards on the baseball game.

Review №37

We’ve been here many times and enjoyed it, but we had a bizarre experience tonight that completely put us off of this place. A couple of us were wearing Santa hats and the bouncer wouldn’t let us in! He said they aren’t participating in Santa Con, and we told him we aren’t either (because we weren’t). But after this exchange, he wouldn’t let us in! He said maybe we could come back some other time. It was a really awkward and off-putting experience. I have no idea why wearing a Santa hat in December is grounds for being rudely turned away from an arcade bar, but this was our experience.

Review №38

Its a nice place lots of stuff to do, the food unfortunately did not hit well with the group had a couple of people in party get sick after ordering the sliders.. the bar area by the gaming machines was pretty awesome so worth a shot, bartender was spot on with his recommendations.

Review №41

The bar itself is just any other Beltown bar, a few craft beers, Rainier, etc. I love this place because of the games. Theyve done a really good job of making it appealing to any group. Easily the most popular game here is Killer Queen which takes up to 10 players, and often will lead you to partnering up with a bunch of strangers to fill the game. Great experience all around.

I am hesitant to call this a dive bar. But it is dark, cheap, and pretty damn great. Lots of pinball games. Wide selection of newer and older games. Friendly staff. Check it out!

Review №44

Great variety of pinball. Killer Queen is an essential reason to come. Food and drink is real good.Could use greater amount of beat em ups and 90s shooters(or compilations of such games).An all-you-can-freeplay event would also be very welcome.

Good bar (I judge bars by their old fashion, this one made a pretty good one) with pinball machines and other arcade games. You can drink and/or play games. That said you still have to be 21+ to enter

I love it here when it isnt super crowded, their buffalo chicken sandwich is perfect for coming alone or with friends. The staff is seasoned as well which makes me feel really good even though i very rarely drink. Def worth being a regular go to spot for a variety of folks.

This place is ALL FUN!!! Best staff, best drinks, .50 cent games. The art on the walls is amazing enough, but, the sandwiches, music, and super nice staff just clinches the deal. One of the best places in Seattle! See the HUNDREDS of excellent reviews! Never mind the one star reviews. You know what they say... if one in a hundred complain, then, well, who is the odd man out?CHEERS to The Jupiter!!!

Review №60

Juliter has an awesome selection of pinball machines old and new, kept in good repair and only 50 cents per play. The walls are covered with sexy murals.The bathrooms are large and clean.My only complaint is that the volume on these pinball machines appears to be set to max, easily twice as loud as most other area arcades. During tournaments, the decibels are enough to send me outside for frequent breaks to rest my ears. Turn them down to sane levels and perfection would be attained.

Solid bar, great games, great space. If you want to play some pinball, piledrive your friend in street fighter 2, or just want a table to drink with friends, Jupiter bar has you covered.This bar is quickly becoming a staple for time on second ave, as it’s a great second destination after a fancy drink at navy strength or neon boots.

Mi
Review №69

Decent game available. Great for parties or a duo thing. And thats about it. Service from the people that work there is horrible. Apparently its cool for people running the place to intentionally not serve paying customers. No lie: the person in charge watched me at the bar waiting for a drink and served 3 other people. Ok, so when I decided to speak up, they laugh at me and 1 employee tries to make up for the situation. Thanks to that guy as that will still be my last visit to Jupiter.

Ja
Review №70

Updating my original five star review as it turns out this place is not as advertised. Many of the pinball machines eat your quarters because they are not maintained properly. The owner and staff are not customer service oriented, but do take care of their pack. If you are a tourist or dont fit the preferred hard-core profile of the patrons, you will not be welcome here and you will be treated as an outsider. There are much better options in Seattle.

I had no idea this place existed. 4 stars only because the crowd was a little douchey. The bar has plenty of room and the staff was on top of everything and very friendly. There are a good selection of pinball machines in the back area, so boredom isnt a thing there. The space is pretty cool. Definitely worth checking out.

I had never heard of or been to an artcade before. I really enjoyed kicking back and having a few drinks here after a long day of walking around the city, and being able to browse the crazy awesome wall art and play old-school arcade games. The bartenders were all super chill and easy to talk to, and drink prices werent outrageous. Will definitely be returning here when I come back to Seattle!

I am amazed this has 4 1/2 stars instead of a full 5. I came here several times with my brother, its a ball (pun not originally intended)! Countless pinball machines, Killer Queen is great, and they have a few classic arcade games, too. Very friendly atmosphere and good drinks. Plus what a wonderful name for a bar! Theres outdoor seating as well, and the bouncer seemed pretty chill. Music is a little loud for me, but its a bar.

Beautiful bar with loads of murals on the walls. Pinball machines are varied and fun but some of them are getting a little beat up, this is just after the summer though so I cant blame them for that, well see how the machines are in a few months. Staff is always friendly but beware that it gets very busy on Fridays and Saturdays. Perfect watering hole if you work downtown and want to play a few games or if youre showing friends around.

The bartender didnt like the the tip i put down so she added her own number. I wish I could call to clear things up but, whoops! Theres no phone number. Jupiter bar you literally stole from me and now I have to contact my bank and contest the charge. Do not go here, they do not respect their customers as people, they will steal the money out of your pocket if you give them a credit card. Will there even be a response to this review? I truly dont know.

The décor is top notch here filled with amazing art that covers the wall in an appropriate retro style with touches of neon. Its like the basement gameroom turned up to 11. The bar has some fancy drinks that can be a bit pricey. But its all about the pinball here with 5 rows of machines to play on and some other arcade units including Killer Queen. Great adult arcade!
