Another Castle Arcade

I thought Another Castle had a pretty nice selection of games. I recognized a handful from when I was a kid and used to frequent arcades with my brothers.
I even found a new one that I could easily become addicted to! Tapper.
The guy staffed at the counter welcomed us in, which was a nice surprise.
The place is generally clean and kept.
The atmosphere is very relaxed, which makes it a great place to have a pretty quiet get together with some friends.
I almost gave Another Castle 4 stars, because I usually expect a more energetic feel from an arcade. However, I thought about it a bit and decided that the relaxed atmosphere works so well with the nostalgia of old arcade games. It feels like it’s meant for a slightly older, more docile generation — not the rowdy group of kids I remember being a part of.
I am by no means a gamer, but if I was locked in there for a few hours, I probably wouldn’t get bored.
Plus, they have snacks and beverages — beer included.

They need some customer service training because, every issue here becomes an unhelpable issue (no ticket, no account number) because of the way the employees at the Edmonds store treat the unthinkable action of not being in my ticket from yesterday I will just only shop at the Lynwood location. I understand looking up my order ticket is hard but trying to give the customer excuses on why you can’t help them is a bad move. I love the concept of the store I think due to success you have to treat the customers better. The stores are recommended all the time because of how cool they are, the stores now needs to become as helpfull as cool. Let no issue stops us from helping the customer at another castle. Unfortunately every issue has stopped another castle two days in a row at the Edmonds location time to move north.

This is an awesome place full of great games and nostalgia. We would recommend to anyone looking for a good time or a trip down memory lane. Excellent alcohol selection. Friendly workers. We had a blast!

This place is pretty cool. I have been to the Lynnwood location which is more of a store than an arcade.
Tons of pinball machines. It looks like they have tournaments from time to time which is pretty sweet. I love all the retro games. Good old fashion fun is hard to find and so are retro games.
They serve bottled beer and have some snacks for sale. There are 2 small tables to sit at and a couple of board games if you just want to kick back with friends and have a cold one.
It can get kind of crowded in the «lower» portion. Just not a huge area and then with the real estate that DDR takes up, that makes it worse.
My only small issue with this place is that there is a funky odor in here. I am not sure if it is because it used to be a bar or what, but it stinks.
All and all I would be back again for some cheap, nostalgic entertainment.

Love this place. Lots of great games and everything works. I wish they were a one time pay, all day play model instead of traditional quarters. The price comes out the same for the amount of time I spend there but it is a pain to carry all those coins.

Pleasantly surprised to find a great place to take the grandkids in the future. Prices competitive & their arcade is terrific! Got some Holiday shopping done.
It’s probably been there a while and I just didn’t know. Shop, play, and food/drinks…just right.

15 days later…
Still waiting to hear something. I was promised that my kids Xbox would be looked at after ten days. I keep getting the runaround from the fellows that answer the phone. How I finish my review will depend upon how this issue is resolved.

After pacing this place for a year on the way home we finally stopped by. It’s a cute and entertaining place to hang out on a Friday or Saturday night when you want something to do that isn’t a bar or getting drunk. This arcade is a little small but has a lot of games packed in. It has a lot of pinball machines which is great for me because I love pinball but not so great for the husband who tends to prefer the older Atari games. While it still had a decent selection of Atari it just wasn’t as much as some other arcades we have been too. Atari and Sega games are .25 while pinball and racing games are .50 with a few being .75.
There is an ATM inside and of course a change maker. You can also buy beer, soda and snacks.
It appears all ages can enter. We were there at about 11pm and saw kids and teenagers.
I think there are even board games available. Saw one group playing Jenga.
Overall not a bad place, and it’s great if you like pinball.

Really great bunch of people who work here. Yes things are slightly cheaper on ebay but I am a «want now» kind of person and this place comes in handy. I heard they stay open till 2 am and serve drinks In the arcade section… count me in!

Amazing place, endless supply of nostalgia, great people and even better beer. I couldn’t imagine a the bar x arcade mashup being done much better than this.

Super cool arcade… several pinball and video games. Chill atmosphere with great music, a couple bottled craft beers, and other snacks and sodas available for purchase. Can’t wait to visit again!!!

If I had a dream job, to work somewhere for the rest of my life, or as long as this franchise exists, it would be THIS PLACE. I grew up playing at the arcade when the Aurora Village Mall still existed (when Ernst and Pay & Pak hardware stores, Woolworth, etc. were still around – way before the whole area was demolished)…I have to believe that whoever the owner is for Another Castle believes in my generation, and also believes that there is still hope for arcades to survive even in this more advanced technological era with emerging nanotech R&D and a more prevalent dependence on mobile technology getting more complex every six months. PLUS THEY SERVE BEER. Nobody would ever say no to that – and they even got an AC Unit from Japan!!! Incredibly space efficient, and there’s even a section dedicated to the Buy/​Sell/​Trade of New & Used video games and matching consoles… including their own personalized merchandise. Pops came in here while I was participating during Karaōke Night days before Father’s Day… HE LOVES HOW THEY SERVE BEER (I said that already, right?) Anyways, I have no problem with how they operate, and it’s in an area that’s not volatile like in Seattle… so if you invite ANYBODY, please don’t invite trouble.
That is all… End of Transmission.

This place is off the hook… Great mix of pins and arcades new and vintage. Some times your a bit close to your neighbor but hey we all need new friends right? Good selection of beer at not quite bar prices. Fun event nights to keep you coming back. Very easy to find as it is right on HWY 99.

Bad ass place to spend a Friday or Saturday night with your friends. It’s chill, low-​key, and unpretentious. Like that tattered, fuzzy old childhood blanket, this place will take you back to your childhood — pinball, space invaders, DDR, foosball. Days before the internets.
No age limit. Come prepared with small bills for the change machine.

AWESOMENESS!!!
We spent a lot of the night drinking beer and playing Foos ball! They had a lot of pinball machines and old arcade games! I highly recommend checking this place out! We went Saturday night 11pm-​2am and it wasn’t packed. They allow all ages, all the time! We will definitely be going back!

This place is awesome. Beers pinball and hella old school games. Owner is super chill too. The only beef I have is it is in Edmonds! But other than that I dig this spot. These guys have quite a few games that I have never heard of, like a Mario 64 pinball.

This place is AWESOME!
There is a vast selection of games — pinball & arcade style video games. The ones I played were about 75 cents a round but I found a few at the 25−50c range. Went back on a Monday and half the arcade was closed but there was still a room with a few games (including DDR and racing games).
When you walk in there is a little fridge and you can buy beer or soda so you can enjoy the «barcade» aspect. Bottled beer was about $ 4 a bottle. You cannot bring the beer into the store but only the arcade area. There are some PVC pipes painted to look like Mario tubes to hold beers but only one small table.
The store was great — friendly staff, felt like prices were good for used games.
Spent about an hour in here and about $ 5.

This place is awesome! There are tons of Retro Games you can play and lots of fun little nooks and crannies you can explore that have find more awesome games !!! Great selection of beer :) and helpfully staff !!!
Had my first experience on DDR here and I got schooled !!! Will definitely come back :)
Ps check out the cool graffiti !!
FYI — there is parking in the back also!

Woah! Brews! Snacks! Kid Friendly! Cool place with a chill vibe. They have a Dominos menu so you can order in. A few games can be played for 25c! I will be back (they have the Terminator 2 game!!).

Ever since my husband found out about this place, he’s hooked. You can buy a beer, and play games — what’s not to love? :)
The people who work here are super chill, and if the arcade eats your quarter, not a big deal, they are awesome about replacing it. They also have a great array of games including arcade, pinball and Pac Man, which is my favorite. I wish they had more of an expanded liquor license, so they could serve more stuff on tap, instead of out of bottles, but it’s still cool.
