February 26th, 2026. Drove up with a friend from San Antonio. Was looking to play a vast array of pinball machines. Although this place came through highly regarded by other pinball players that I know. I was not impressed. The outside is a bit dark personally I don't think it's welcoming. One of the young guys working last night with dyed hair. I don't remember his name was exceptionally very polite the young girl was a bit quiet and shy but still helpful. The other guy not so much. Don't even know why he's there. Negative attitude interrupted my conversation with the other people at the counter they had to tell him to wait and he continued talking. Might need to be retrained or trained. There's a good vast array of nostalgia and new items there. It just didn't have a good vibe for me. The lights throw off too much reflection on some of the screens and games preventing proper enjoyable play. Restrooms are a bit sketchy. There was no food truck last night. I find the sodas overpriced. Although a good trip overall. If you do come here. I don't remember the name of it there is a 3D zombie game. Had a blast in that machine.
This place is fantastic. All of the staff were so friendly and Matthew was just the best. He was so kind and patient with my nephew who had a blast playing the coin machine for an hour. He truly made his night! There were so many great games and the machines are all well taken care of so you’re not playing on a bunch of broken equipment. We will definitely be back to try out more of the games. Thank you guys for the great service!
This place is awesome. They have a great selection of pinball machines. They have a lot of new arcade games, and a back room full of retro games.
This location is a great spot for pinball enthusiasts. They have a little bit of everything, ranging from old arcade cabinets, claw machines, a few ticket/prize gambling games, as well as a pool table and Touch Tunes. Since it’s more pinball-oriented, the crowd at this location is more geared towards adults, but there’s something for everyone. As far as I’ve seen, the games are in good condition, but the room with arcade cabinets looks like it’s seen better days. I was excited to see they had Typing of the Dead! I’ve interacted with the employees a couple of times and they’ve always been really nice and helpful. The food you can buy on site is fine. It’s BYOB, which I highly recommend because a Starbucks bottled drink was $6.50. If you’re looking for a place to bring your kids, I’d recommend Pinballz two other locations unless they’re really into pinball. But it’s the perfect place to bring a friend or two, have a drink, and play some games!
This is a good-sized arcade. There are a lot of pinball machines and other video games and ticket games. The place gets a bit warm/hot, though. They have a lot of fans all over the place to help keep it cool. The staff was friendly. I also like that there is a small dining area.
OG Pinballz has been a mainstay with us since they opened 15/16? years ago. Raised our 15 year old daughter there! She's the next generation of die-hard Pinballz fans. Besides the best selection of arcade games, the staff is always exemplary. Specifically Matthew at the OG location. Kind and cool and incredibly awesome. Thank you OG Pinballz for continuing to be the raddest joint in town!!!!!!!
Great mix of retro and modern arcade games. Games are actually reasonably priced. They also have a great mix of reward for tickets, everything from candy and toys to tool kits so there's something for everyone. Only issue is their ac seems to be out/ doesnt work. They have fans and portable AC units around but some areas were still pretty warm.
