Sunshine Laundromat

This bar is completely atypical — you really have to know it exists to find it. It’s hidden behind a laundromat, and once you reach the back, there’s a door made of washing machine doors that leads you straight into the bar. The concept alone is already an experience. Inside, the vibe is vintage, fun, and very New York. There are arcade games, board games, and card games, which makes the atmosphere playful and relaxed. We grabbed a few beers and had such a great time. The staff was super friendly, and the whole place feels like one of those hidden gems NYC does so well — unexpected, original, and memorable. Definitely the kind of spot I love discovering here. A unique experience I’d happily do again.

We visited Sunshine Laundromat tonight and had so much fun!!! The pinball machines are fun and a dollar each, some give you plays for 25 cents. We didn’t get any drinks besides the $3 water bottle (which tasted like tap). I enjoyed the variety of board/card games that they had and spent the majority of the time playing those! As for the vibe, I’m not sure if it’s very welcoming. As a person of color, I felt like we were stared at a bit since the concept seems to attract a certain crowd, but overall, I would try to look over it and go again 🙂

Wow so much fun. Needed to kill three hours between the Zev Rovine more or less fair and dinner, and found this gem. My wife never played pinball so she was in for a surprise. We fell in love with the Jurassic Park game. It was the most fun and allowed for longer game play. She’s also obsessed with Jurassic Park the movie. We didn’t drink as we were in for a full day of wine events, but would be a great date spot to be honest if you need to set the night right. We walked out with smiles and the lady working there was very nice. Not pushy about anything.

If you’re looking for something unique and fun to do near the city— this is a great option! Such a cute concept and fun speakeasy. It’s a quaint bar located at the back of a functional laundromat with a good amount of pinball machines and drink selections. Always such a nice date night option! P.S.: you do need CASH for the pinball machines.

What an experience! We did laundry and had fun playing pinball! You need cash for both the laundromat and the pinball machine, but you can exchange it to coins there. They don’t serve food, but we were allowed to bring in whatever food we wanted. There’s a great pizza place across the street, which was very convenient. This place is a hidden gem, friendly and affordable! Highly recommended!

Grab a beer and play pinball while you do your laundry! So much better than watching the spin cycle on the washing machine. Sunhsine has a speak easy bar behind the fake dryers in the back. Inside the bar there are pinball machines all around. They also host a pinball league. Great selection of local beers and a small outside area. Best of all it’s dog friendly!

This is a cool pinball arcade that’s like a speakeasy located in the back of a functioning laundromat. There’s a bunch of pinball machines, a skeeball game, a couple tables, board games, and a bar serving up pretty good draft beers. This is definitely a hidden gem in the Greenpoint area and a must-visit if you like pinball.
