Gamma Ray Games - Seattle, Washington

Aria

Great little place, very friendly and relaxed vibes. If you like vintage pinball then this place is for you. If
You need to pick up some extra dice for your next tabletop session these guys have ‘em.
Good coffee, vegan and gluten-free cookies on the counter. Open late on a weekday which is a rarity.
Bring some friends and get a free game rental when you buy some beers.
Wish Portland still had places like this, support it and keep it alive. 🤓

Okay, real talk. This place is small, their selection is poor, and, at least when I came, it was hella crowded. This alone wouldn't warrant a low score, its the food and drinks that take thus honour.
$4 dollar hotdog (pictured), really bad coffee (in Seattle, really?), and slow AF Service from a dude who didn't appear to he doing much is what got me.
The decor is nice and I live for those pin ball rigs, but it isn't enough to save my feelings about this place. Other places in the metro area have great food, drinks, whatever, so they have no excuse.

Great assortment of pinball games, beer, coffee, gluten free cookies and a really nice guy behind the counter. Free game rental with food or drink purchase. There are also comics and games for sale. Mellow hangout spot open later, enjoyed my americano with smooth espresso.

Drinks get you a choice of game to play, but seating is pretty limited. Good wall of pinball, but little product to purchase.

If you like pinball machines and and a well lit open floor plan. This is a really good spot for a casual chill with friends.

There is a small playable board game library. If you’re trying to play board games, I would not come here.

The bar sells beer soda and some small snacks.

It seems like more of a hang out than a Gaymer spot in truth. There are around 10 picnic bench style tables. I was brought on a date here, and I thought it was very cute but I would not go here just to play games.

King County Health Board declared that place as Okay just above Needs to Improve.
To put into perspective I went to a restaurant that was graded as Good and even that I saw a rat in the kitchen. I only eat at places graded Excellent, and that is the first and currently only time I saw a placard labeled as Okay

Been running a weekly board game night here for about a year. Their bench tables are big enough for games like Scythe or ROOT, but I would call and make a reservation if you plan on having 6+ people. Their smaller tables work for Codenames, Splendor, or similarly light 2-4 player games.

Selection of games is fine, we always bring our own copies so not much to say on that.

Staff is always chill. Easy to converse with and you never feel like you’re bothering them.

Food is limited to panini press type stuff, but drinks are solid and there’s plenty of non-alcoholic options for those not interested in beer or wine.

Pinball machines always seem to be working, but that’s not really why we go.

Overall strongly recommend for board game + TTRPG groups.

While I enjoyed my visit to the game shop and bar, but I doubt I would go again. Nothing I found in the store was something I couldn’t get from a gathering at my own place. The games they had available to borrow were extremely limited and food options were scarce. The drinks menu was very small and they only had two non-alcoholic options. It might be a good meeting place for some, but I am just as happy in my own home.
