Affordable prices and solid drinks. Cute local place and fun games! Not too busy so easy to get seats and avaliable games but I bet if it was busy you wouldn't be able to play a whole lot.

I love Coindexter's. I've lived and worked in the neighborhood since before it opened and have been many times. Very 90's vibes throughout. I actually have a jar of quarters I save specifically for whenever I'm gonna come here. Overall the place isn't too big so on the weekends it can get a bit crowded but on a weekday it's much more chill. They have a great selection of drinks and for it being a bar, I actually do enjoy their food! My only gripe is that most of the time I end up going, they are usually out of the Cap'n Crunchberry treats or just don't have them. But that's just me having a sweet tooth and getting excited when I see it on the menu. Haha

The Games

Such a fun barcade stuck in the '90's! I came here for my friend's birthday party, as this is a place he frequents and loves, and after visiting, I can see why! There's a bouncer who checks IDs soon after you walk in, since Coindexter's only allows those 21+, indicating a play place just for adults. Yes! Plenty of seating is located off to the side, across the bar where you order drinks and food and for food, it's delivered to your table once it's ready. Oh, and although the menu is straightforward, with grilled cheese sandwiches, there are TOTS! But the real winner here are the games! There are classic games, like Pac-Man and Mario Kart and pinball machines in the back room. Most of the games I saw were a quarter to play a round, and they do have a coin machine, just in case! AND, since we're drinking while playing games, there are cupholders at the games, that so comfortably accommodates your pint of draft beer. Yeah, dawg, they thought of everything! For a break from all the games though, you can watch the old school shows they play in the background and during my visit it was MTV's Daria! Freakin' awesome! Staff is super friendly and people are chill here. It wasn't too packed on a Saturday night and we never had to wait to play certain games and such. When I went to the restroom I saw a sign, lending help for those on a bad Tinder date, with instructions to order a certain drink, which indicates to staff whether you need them to walk you to your car, call the police, etc... Seriously, this place thought of everything. Not only does Coindexter's cater to adults who never really grew up (me) with tots and classic games, they have your back in case you're on a sketchy date. Coindexter's is where it's at!

A number of great Grilled Cheeses to choose.

Wow this is a great place and the crowds have yet to find it. 12 drafts on tap and tasty grill cheese. The place has a lot of space for you and your friends. You have Rocco's Modern Life, Dinosaurs and more classic on TVs throughout the bar. Great arcade, skeeball, pool and pinball games to choose from. Not as full of games as The Jupiter in Belltown but more arcade games and Skeeball. Come and have a fun night out.

Patrons are given a figure as a table marker, we got Mr. Clean.

Nice establishment, with good atmosphere. Typical drinks on tap, video games and other bar games (skeeball, basketball, etc) available as well. The grilled cheese with bacon is good.

19 different game machines.

They open Sept. 1st. Got a preview opening. Such a fun new stop in Greenwood. Tasty unique drinks and yum bar food from grilled cheese sandwiches to corn dogs on a plate made with corn pancakes, hotdogs and tasty sauce. Pinball machines fill the back room and old school pacman to skee ball out front The bar staff is friendly and helpful with drink suggestions. This is the cool and fun new place in town.

Do you like skeeball? Do you like grilled cheese? Do you like beer? Do you like pinball? Do you like fun? Check out Coindexter's! 90's music pumping through the room while 90's movies and shows play on the tv. Very fun menu that comes in an old VHS case. So much fun I can't wait to come back!

A quite little bar with an extensive rotating tap menu. We were looking for a quick place to grab a…read moredrink after a long day exploring the city and this fit our needs perfectly. Many interesting beers to choose from and friendly service. A decent sized cooler as well if you don't see anything you like on the tap menu. You have to put a card down to start a tab and remember to go close out before you leave. Lots of cozy places to sit and watch a game on the TVs or nice two person tables for conversation. $4 Ranier pints on tap, a great local place to stop for a beer!

Hard to believe it's been more than half a decade since this place opened. They've used their time…read morewisely, without a doubt. When they began, they were a wonderfully weird little enclave of beeriness along this tawdry strip of Aurora. After years of perfecting their craft, cultivating a clientele both locally and far beyond the city limits, investing their profits carefully, and stockpiling an OCD-esque retinue of fermented delights to serve not before their time, Über is now...a wonderfully weird little enclave of beeriness along this tawdry strip of Aurora. They've added to it, certainly, though the footprint inside is still the same. They added the little sidewalk courtyard a couple years ago, and added the planter boxes around the same time. After some unsolicited overnight editorializing from the local Crackhead Gardeners Club, the ambitions of those planter boxes have been scaled back rather markedly, but the pleasant al fresco seating option remains--covered and railed in. Inside, what used to feel like a kooky house party with a fire table in the middle and big bottle coolers behind the bar now feels like a stylishly kooky house party with a fire table in the middle and big bottle coolers behind the bar. The refined blue on the walls now suggests a tony library at a gentleman's club, so be a gentleman, for heaven's sake. The multi-ton zebrawood beast of a bar suggests locales even more exotic than Aurora ("Where is that wood grown?" "Africa." "Noooo...*zebras* are from Africa. Where is zebra*wood* from?" "Under the ze..." Never mind.). The walnut ceiling-support beam suggests...that spending a butt-ton of extra money on fine hardwoods is worth it sometimes. Gone are the colossal tap towers that used to protect the bartenders from: archers, trebuchets, and being able to see customers. Well, the Delirium Tremens tower is still there, over the inlaid Scrabble board, but every bar needs a pink elephant on the corner. In addition to Scrabble, you can also play Backgammon under a heavy layer of resin, if you get the right seats. But what matters most here is the beer. And this beer selection is truly a matter of great import. Hundreds of bottles line the cooler racks, with a fair emphasis on rare and small batch big American beers and a freighter full of bigger (i.e., more alcoholic) European stuff, both classics and newer releases. There are also tap handles, now bundled together in a phalanx of malty infantry on the back wall, which boasts a luminous interweave of glass subway tiles. Such design flair! ("Yeah, I have the gay gene when it comes to decorating." You just can't make this stuff up. You can only catch people when they're loaded and write it down for blackmailing them later.) What's particularly cool about the tap lineup is the new War-Games-like array of monitors above the coolers, listing all kegs in the order they were tapped, along with the next three on deck. No more scrambling for a little green book, and wondering if you should hurry up and order a given beer in case it might kick before you get to it. The staff here has been wise and powerful since day one. This shows no signs of abating. I often hate coming in here when it's busy simply because it means less chance to shoot the breeze with them. Or throw a Frisbee. What no one bar can change, though, is the local color on display outside, along Aurora Avenue North. More than once as I have sipped a tasty beverage here, young ladies have walked back and forth and back and forth past the windows of the establishment. I figured they must have been running errands, or moving, or something, but they were never carrying anything, so it's hard to be certain. That motorized pageant of humanity, the Metro #358, stops right outside the sidewalk patio here. When a 60-foot limo rolls up, it can easily block every window in the place, making you feel like you're in a dark little cave (well, you are, not even figuratively speaking). When that 358 shadow settles over the room, what you are is an easily-distracted baby seal that just noticed the great white swimming over you and blocking out all your light. Those squealy bus brakes are the hoots of an owl in the dreams of a mouse. Über is one of the oases in a stretch of road that Seattle forgot. (Not on accident did Seattle forget this scrofulous motorway, either.) There's a bit of character lately to some businesses around here, and there's even a high-end spot across the street (PCC). You can bring in your own food from anywhere, though PCC and Beth's are natural choices, and Aloha Ramen is a personal favorite. There's a book behind the bar somewhere, full of take-out menus. Just ask for it. Every industry needs places that push to offer the best of everything. Über has very few equals, and no superiors, especially when you count the square footage. You can get lost here. Probably you should. The 358 can always take you...elsewhe
