Something to DO!
by minnesotan_1981
It's nice to hang out with some games....
There was big bunch of ruffians hanging out when we first showed up, but inside was actually pretty calm (Sunday around 5).
Pink Icee's
by yuppieesuck
I like this bar! They have liquor icee's and they are very strong and delicious! They also have hot and veg dogs for when you get that drunk craving for food, which are quite GOOD. The music is AWESOME on Tuesday nights when they have Punk night with live DJ's up front. On the weekends they open up the back bar and that is a very chill area with these cool bar seats and on Friday night the bartender in back is quite nice to look at. So I definitely recommend visiting her for some drinks. They also have tons of pinbal machines in the back and video games up front. One more thing they have CLOWNS, need I say more.
- Pros: clowns, drinks, dogs, pinball
- Cons: ??
Charming Dive
by ascomb
The sweetest bartenders, great prices on drinks, great atmosphere. Unpretentious and hospitable, I would recommend it to pretty much anyone. Don't expect it to be fancy, but not the least bit stuck up either. They've been there forever and will never change (we hope). Pinball is fun!!
- Pros: Cool and casual, fun
- Cons: Not much to look at, but who cares!
Great place for a first date
by betty97
You can learn a lot about someone from a night of PBR and Pinball, besides if they don't like PBR and Pinball they aren't worth a second date.
great place to meet locals

i like shorty's for the video games, cheap beer and hot dogs....lots of hipsters hang out here with their tatoos and PBR's. not a great place to pick up girls....but just to hang out and chill
Old-school vid's, hot dogs and beer.

The Scene
A handsome Bobby Love circus mural is emblazoned on the restaurant's end wall. Diners sit at a lunch counter that could be from Woolworth's; well-muscled, T-shirted young men and women apply blistering intensity to Shorty's other main attraction--a long bank of arcade games that includes oldies such as Donkey Kong and Centipede.
The Draw
The kielbasa, German sausage and New York kosher dogs are fine, if a bit muted for West Coast tastes. The best is the Italian hot link, which is actually hot and offers a heady rush of fennel. Have two--with a Coke, the tab will be about $6. Or relax with a very reasonably priced cocktail in lounge.
Clowns, Pinball,hot dogs & cheap beer!
by TheBison
Shorty's is my favorite place in Seattle!
Pinball,cheap beer, Hot Dogs and all those clown paintings, oh and make sure to check outthe Velvet Elvis painting above the bar, that's not a Microphone in his hand!
No attitude, the backroom with the Pinball is great, the Dr. Who one is my favorite.
You can go there, enjoy a night out,not break the bank and be greeted by a friendly bar staff.
I highly recommend Shorty's!
