We play pinball, this place has a great selection of pinball and no kids. Great vibe, just the right kind of place for spending a few hours dropping quarters. Lineup changes, fresh games always in good condition. There is really no better place Ive found around.

Do you like pinball? And alcohol? At the same time?! Then this place is made especially for people like you and I! Triple Knock is a great pinball oasis along 6th Avenue, and their selection of beer and other drinks helps take away the sting of a drained ball or a missed jackpot.

This was a great spot for my last date. We enjoyed a couple local brews and several of the pinball machines as well. They have open tournaments on Wednesdays and theres always a lively bunch present. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and had some great recommendations for us to try out.

Fun place to go. Took me back to my childhood with love of pinball... just now you get to play and have a cocktail!

Loved the decor and a great selection of new and old games. Enough room to move around and the Spire cider on tap was delicious. Looking forward to more visits.

Higher quality drinks than expected for basically an arcade. Try some hazelnut vodka in a white russian here itll change you. Wish i could find that spirit at retail!

Pinball,pinball, pinball... And more pinball. Dozens of newer and well maintained machines to choose from. Get yourself a daily top score!

One of my faves. Love their game nights and their pinball tournaments! Biggest con is they do have a menu; just snacks like chip bags and such. Once youre aware of that its no biggie, though.

Good selection of pinball machines, beverages, and theres a couple old school video game machines too. I liked the booths, but stools and tables were fine as well. If you like stouts, youll want to get a Ten Pin chocolate stout or two and toss back a couple Jameson cask mate stouts to boot. Youll be loving life and this place right quick!

When it comes to barcades, they don’t get much better than this. Like Add-A-Ball in Seattle and Quarterworld in Portland, it’s a fun place to waste an afternoon with just the right amount of nerdiness.They have a full bar but the games are the star here and it’s set up accordingly with machines across both walls (I counted 24 on a recent visit). The staff is friendly and the drinks (including a rotating slushee) are reasonably priced. It’s beginner-friendly and the male/female ratio approaches 50/50.They also have tournaments (including women’s and split flipper) which are relatively low key but competitive enough that they draw out-of-towners. I’ve played in a few and found myself competing with people with a wide range of skill sets ranging from equally-bad-as-me to awe-inspiring.

If youre a pinball wizard this is the place for you... pinball machines wall to wall + beer 21 & over... win-win!! Only draw back... they only have pinball machines... but they do have a bar so they do have that going for them which is nice :)

I love this bar! Its strictly a Pinball bar. They have some good brews on tap and its a place you can hear and have a conversation with friends. Just a good place to relax and take your mind off things. I ha e yet to try any of the food though*

Beer and pinaball, need I say more. Each machine has a cup holder and only costs 50¢ and there is usually a machine open. There are also a bunch of other cool bars within walking distance so you can get food or bar hop.

Review №17

Ive never been to a pinball bar before and I really liked the concept. They have a good mix of old school and new pinball machines, along with a few classic video games like Pac-Man. What I didnt like, was how many games just ate my quarters without allowing me to play. We can put a man on the moon, but we still cant figure out how to get a machine from ripping you off??? Really?Thats not why I dinged this place a few stars on my rating though. That comes from the extremely disinterested bartender, who ignored me for five minutes, despite the fact there was hardly anyone at the bar around midnight.Cool concept but better service might make this place someplace youd actually wanna come back to again and again.

I been here twice. Its cute cause you can have a drink while playing with pinball machines. Make sure to ask for their signature drink. Also bring cash, preferably ones. They have a change machine for small Bills only.

5 stars for location. Atmosphere needs a lot of work. But the games are good and bartenders better. Great staff. It just feels like it needs something to put it over the top. A DJ or band or something?

Erin the manager is the worst person I have ever met. Me and my friends went into their bar to play games and have 1 drink. She messed up our tab and then became very rude towards us and refused to talk to us. Her words exactly “if you say another word I will call the cops on you” she is horrendous! Don’t go here. Never been so annoyed and disappointed in a bar in my entire life. Vile human

Notable machines are fun house, xeon, Elvira but also a great collection of newer machines. Only thing that would make it a 5 star is if there were a bigger selection of food to order

I really like this place. Pinball is $.50 per game and they have a pretty good selection of pins to play. Plenty of seating if you are looking to relax between challenges. Menu of drinks looks pretty big. Always a good time.

I really like this place! They have an alcoholic slushy machine and always have something good in it. There are only a couple of video games in the back corner, though, because this places focus is most definitely pinball. They have amazing machines that are in top condition and host fun tournaments. This place is 21+, though, so sadly all your young ones wont be able to play pinball with you.

This place is seriously home for me. The service that Erin, Jeff, and Bo provide is second to none and the many pinball machines are serviced regularly. This place truly brings around some of the best humans in tacoma and I am so thankful for it.

Friendly Bartenders (one actually played a game opposite of me on a really slow part of Tuesday). Best part about this is that it is apparent that they keep up the maintenance on the machines. Flippers have some power to them and you can tell by the flight of the balls that the surface ramps are level. Wednesday night tournaments!!!!

This is my favorite pinball bar in the Seattle/Tacoma area. It is over 21, so you arent battling the kiddies and they have a great selection of machines, all in good repair. The bar tenders are always friendly.

If youre 21+ and want to play pinball just go here. Tables very well maintained. Seemed like waxed play fields and freshly cleaned glass. If youre reading this I would say four stars due to glare (during summer around 6-8pm and a blue light that glared on half the tables). Everything else is more than I hoped for. 21 tables from old to new on 8/11/16. Go here. On a totally unrelated note why dont any of these pinbar arcades sort the tables chronologically? Rachelle was very helpful and a wonderful bartender. Again. Highly recommended.
