"Pretty decent mix of pinball from the 80's, 90's and 2000+ Mostly very well maintained. I've had a few games I've played that have had damage, loose parts, etc., but overall most games are 8/10 to 9/10. Some of them are a little overpriced most games I played were $1.00 to $1.75 range. I'm not a big fan of the rechargeable card system. Always wind up with a card with a balance, and its not fun keeping track of the funds. Would much rather they charge a play admission fee like Cidercade does. There was only 1 guy I saw working there, but he was very friendly. Has a really nice mix of pinball, classic arcade games and ticket win games, though I don't try the ticket ones. One weird thing was I played a Star Wars game which was linked with the machine next to it for 2 player play, but the machine next to me was 50 cents more to play for the exact same game. The outside isn't much to look at and is easy to miss. Once inside its got a nice vibe though. Nice place to stop in with kids or kill 30 minutes hittin some pinball. Overall, excellent selection of games, but loses a star because its not as affordable as other places to spend an evening and because of the odd maintenence and price issues."

This place pales in comparison to the location by the sea. The atmosphere isn't great, and the staff seems odd rather than friendly. I was hoping for a more welcoming vibe.

Love this place. We try to go when we are in Austin. The original one is much smaller than the one to the North about 7 miles. Lots of new and OLD SCHOOL games. Remindes me of being a kid. View menu

What a wonderful hangout! Very all ages welcome. We had a great time at the Classic Game Fest after party. Soooo many games to choose from! Two floors of sheer happiness! I haven't had so much fun in quite some time.

We have been coming to the original Pinballz for years and it is one of our favorite places in Austin for a date night. It is BYOB and so many amazing arcade games and pinball machines. It feels instantly like stepping back in time. Will always love thisplace! View menu

I have a Love Tester machine I have? was lovin? for about 15 years. Now my buddy jammed it. A friend had pointed me to pinball to fix it. To my surprise, I didn't know they repaired machines. The times I spent there hanging with friends and playing our favorite games were also great times!! I'm stolen to recharge this machine. Especially thanks to Wes and Josh for your detailed know-how, friendly customer service, very competent and also super cool people to work. Not often I meet another Johnny Rotten fan! Thank you.
