Reviews for The Original Pinballz Arcade in Austin, TX
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. Read more
I have a Love Tester machine that I?ve been lovin? on for about 15 years. Well my buddy jammed it. A friend had referred me to... Pinballz to fix it. To my surprise, I didn?t realize they fix machines. The times I?ve spent there hanging out with friends andplaying our favorite games have been great times too!! I?m stoked to get this machine up and running again. Special thanks toWes and Josh for your detailed expertise, friendly customer service, very knowledgeable and also super cool people to work with.It?s not often that I meet another Johnny Rotten fan! Thanks guys!! Read more
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! Read more
I was really blown away with all of the differently variety of pinball machines. I probably haven't played pinball in like 15... years. It felt like going back in time. I definitely recommend! Read more
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 Iplayed 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 wasonly 1 guy I saw working there, but he was very friendly. Has a really nice mix of pinball, classic arcade games and ticket-wingames, though I don't try the ticket ones. One weird thing was I played a Star Wars game which was linked with the machine nextto 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 tolook 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 hittinsome pinball. Overall, excellent selection of games, but loses a star because its not as affordable as other places to spend anevening and because of the odd maintenence and price issues. Read more
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. Read more
ADA wheelchair ?accessible with an elevator to take you to the upper floor Very clean and friendly staff. Spent $20.00 for 3... hours of pinball fun. When it's closing time the yank the power so if your mid game...to bad. The only thing that sucked. Incpics...they do offer sodas and other goodies on the bottom floor. Read more
