The Trophy Room is a perfect secluded venue for hosting groups, with a fun bowling game in the corner! Drinks were very affordable and strong, and the Shorty's dog and nachos were both fresh and flavorful. Morgan was the most attentive and awesome bartender!

Love the theme of the bar and really enjoyed the pinball machines! I wish I could rate the actual bar/food itself but my group was kicked out for having a vertical ID... that was valid and very real btw (:! I know you may be asking yourself, "what kind of bar turns away a group of 6 over a valid vertical ID?", and to that I say: a goofy one. We have never been denied for a vertical ID, and when asking them why they said, "we just don't". Hmm. Strange. We spoke to the manager outside and asked them, they said that they DO in fact accept vertical IDs, she even checked our ID and confirmed its validity. She was kind enough to offer us a table at their second bar in the back but at this point we felt unwelcome and uncomfortable. She said she would talk to him but after reading reviews, it seems that his behavior has been affecting patrons for a LONG time, and that he doesn't plan on changing it anytime soon.

Chill cheesy place for a quick bite and some drinks, and throw in a few pinball games. I loved how affordable this place is, even though they're in the heart of Belltown. We got nachos, two hot dogs, and two beers for about $40, which was pretty cheap tbh. The staff isn't all that "friendly" like others mentioned here, but it's just not that type of place. You order, and that's it. They're not really trying to be "friendly" other than with some of the regulars or with their friends who stop by. It's usually busy, and the booth seating clears out quickly; most are here for pinball. We ordered: (not the most quality ingredients, but loved the quirky take on a classic hot dog) -Chicago Style hot dog - Interesting take on a classic hot dog, it hit the spot! -Chili Nachos - Just what you expect from Chili Nachos -Dumpster Dog - This was such an interesting, unique hot dog concept. It was like they threw everything on it, and the chips were funny. At first, I thought they messed up the order, but no, that's a dumpster dog, haha -Guinness Can - What you expect from a Guinness -Irish Death - Had all the vibes of a Guinness but better imo, definitely looking for this next time and anywhere I go, so good!

I just used the bathroom here. It was new years eve and the place was packed. And my group didnt want to stand, so we split. The vibe was cool though, and I would like to come back some time when its not packed to the gills.

The service was deliberately slow. The bartenders weren't serving anyone in order so we waited a long time just to be acknowledged. It was crowded and uncomfortable. We left pretty quickly. There are lots of other bars in the area where you aren't treated poorly.

Came in on a quiet afternoon I couldn't find the cash machine asked bartender instead of pointing me to it (which would have taken a second) he told me to get in the bar line up(?) and not in a nice way. Asking nicely where the bank machine is is not interrupting if dome prudently. Later I asked what was on one of the hot dogs they had advertised at the bar. He pointed up to the menu bar where there were completely different items. All he had to do was tell me what was on the hot dog. I got the message from this bartender; and left wo playing one pinball game. This is early September afternoon visit. I only wish I remembered the date and complained to management earlier.
Im giving this stars for the fun/whimsical decor. I also love that they have a hot dog grill (although we only came in for drinks) We were greeted warmly by the bartender and sat on one of the booths. The booths used an old pinball machine as tables which was super cool. So on the other side of the bar they had a bunch of pinball machines and arcade games. I was annoyed that 2 of the arcade games I went to ate my quarters but the pinball machines were fun. Overall cool vibes and nice place to just chill and drin

Maybe don't bother if you're a foreigner. Rudely told we needed passports to enter just to play pinball even through we are over 30. Hasn't happened anywhere else in 4 months of travelling North America.

Unwelcoming and rude bartenders. I went once with my husband right after things started opening back up after COVID and the bartender was so rude we left without ordering. Just tried again with friends for happy hour today and once again got a salty bartender who had an attitude for I have no idea what reason. We had someone with us from London whose ID he wouldn’t accept, which is fine. But when she asked if her passport would work, he told her to “google it.” Once again left without even ordering anything. Will def never try again.
