Great place for casual and enthusiast pinballers alike! There is a large variety of games and they are all well maintained and almost all feature nice upgrades like toppers. I like that the games take quarters and they are easy to get through cash or card. Also it is next to some breweries, coffee shop, and a taco truck (on Saturday). I highly recommend you visit! P.S. they have the new Harry Potter machine and it's great.

Heard about Slingshot Pinball while looking for a place that had the Metallica pinball machine to play. Was pleasantly surprised by the number of pinball machines both new and old they had. Games takes quarters and are $1, you can use your debit or credit card to get quarters for a small fee, which is awesome as I for one rarely carry cash or they have a change machine. Will definitely be going back to play again.

Surprisingly well-stocked pinball (only) arcade. Everything from Elvira to Foo Fighters, Jurassic Park to John Wick, and plenty more. Gameplay is usually $1. Snacks and some merch are available up front. Recommended for a tactile blast from the past.

As a pinball collector myself, this place is paradise. Not only do they have the latest and greatest games, most are the premium or higher versions along with the rarely seen toppers. The machines are all in perfect working condition; not even a single bulb out. One downside is that the place is physically small, but they fit in as many games as possible. Additionally, if you're a fan of the old electromechanical games you might be disappointed but I don't mind their absence.

Really cool small pinball room. It’s in the corner of a complex that hosts hapa brewing. Check them out while you’re here for a beer before you start playing. They have your classics and some unique pinballs that I’ve never seen. 90% of the games are $1.00. A handful are .50 cents. They have a change machine or they exchange coins via card payment at the front.
