North Coast Pinball

Such a great gem on the coast. Owner seems so nice and it's a very clean, cozy, and affordable place to spend some time with a great array of pinball machines and drinks. I have been now a handful of times and we enjoy it every time.

Visited North Coast Pinball for the first time yesterday and I'm SO thrilled to have found such a lovely place. Great pinball lineup, machines are in fantastic condition, but best of all is the owner. You can actively feel how much they care about having a safe space for all visitors, and their love for the art of pinball is impossible to ignore. Perfect for everyone, from an EM to brand new Sterns and everything in between. 10/10.

I'm not exaggerating by saying this place is awesome. We loved the diverse selection of games with all the facts posted about each game. It was cool that they have a place to read and draw and play other games and cold drinks as well. If you like pinball even a little bit, I'd say this place is worth checking out. Thank you NCP staff!

My family and I had amazing time, the owner(atleast I think it was him) was super cool and inviting, I'll definitely come again when I'm back in Nehalem!

Wow! This is a hidden gem on the coast. I've been coming back for the monthly tournaments and having a blast. There is a huge variety of pinball games from old to brand new. The owner greets me every time I walk in the door. Not only is he super friendly, but he really cares about every detail of the experience. OUTSTANDING!!!

Great atmosphere, welcoming staff. Step stools for the little ones to reach. Open on Monday when the rest of town was closed was a plus! Drinks and kites for sale too. Will be awesome to pair some chowder or fish n chips from the nearby offerings too. We'll certainly be flapping some paddles on our next visit to town!

We were staying at the Nehalem River Inn and wandered into town for Riverside Fish n? Chips. We kept walking and found this nostalgic gem! My guy and I definitely spent at least an hour here rivaling each other at pinball! Good fun!

Living in a small town on the coast, it's not always easy to find a cool, fun place to have a birthday party for a kid indoors. I reached out to the owner while they were on a temporary shut down for repairs to see if they were up for a 6 year old?s birthday party the first weekend they'd be back open after a month. Will was so gracious and kind, gave me lots of different options and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. When we were there, he was excited and friendly, and just wanting us to have

Our stop here was a pleasant surprise and we could have spent hours in here. Some of the pinball.machines brought back great memories! We also really enjoyed the unique vending machine that sold blind bags and jewelery.

I had to stop in because I saw the pinball neon sign outside. The worker was so nice! He greeted us and said "I'm glad you're here" . Made me feel welcome! He explained that there was a tournament going on. Plenty of new machines and old. 5$ will get you far.

I had an amazing time at North Coast Pinball! The owner was great. The arcade had a fantastic mix of classic and newer pinball machines, catering to all tastes. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance?not too loud, just right for enjoying the games. Plus, the cool merchandise added a fun touch. Buying tokens was a breeze, and the price per play was fair, making it easy to enjoy a full day of pinball. If you're looking for a fun and welcoming pinball experience, North Coast Pinball is the place to be!

Oh, SO much FUN!!! Sent a pic of this place to my Southern CA, pinball-loving ex- and he told me, "You'd better make up your spare bedroom!". Lots of pinball machines to choose from. Very reasonable token rates. Friendly Proprieter. A great place to hold a kid's birthday party, or an Adult Kid's birthday party, for that matter. If you don't use up all of your tokens during your visit, just pay it forward and pass them along to another patron. A great reason to visit Nehalem, Oregon!

The owner here is one of the sweetest people ever! Also super passionate about what he does and it shows with how much character he's put in a pretty small space! They also do have a few non-pinball arcade games (like asteroids in the picture) for those who can't play it for too long :)

This Arcade is awesome! I went there last weekend with my twin 3 year old kids. They had a great time playing pinball for their first time. The owner was really nice and let us use some stools for the boys to stand on so they could play. They also had kites for sale. I bought one (I should have bought two) for the twins and we flew it when we got home. Over all great little spot. Oh? and they sell beer which is awesome.

You can really feel the love and care that goes into this place and the games inside. The decor was fun and quirky in all the right ways. I really enjoyed my visit and eagerly look forward to my next trip out to North Coast Pinball.

Such a fun little spot! I was terrible but it was exciting to play pinball again. Do stop here if passing through!!!

Amazing little spot tucked 15 mins away from Rockaway Beach! I highly recommend. Owner was super kind! ??

Attended a wedding held at this venue. Will was amazingly supportive and has created a fantastic environment. Amazing assortment of games. Tips and tricks on each one. And I cannot sufficiently describe the intentionality Will had put into making a safe and inclusive environment. Worth the drive! Will stop by again the next time we hit up the Oregon coast!

Amazing gem tucked away. Super awesome pinball games, very well maintained. Owner is awesome. From top players to new double flippers. This is awesome.

Really enjoyable experience, owner super knowledgeable and helpful. Great place to bring the family and a special place to have in nehalem

Really cool pinball spot. Good mix of harder to find older games and newer games as well. Well maintained and awesome pinball decor everywhere it's clear the owner is an enthusiast himself.

Had a great time with the family. Can't wait to visit again!

Incredible place! If you love to learn about history and technique of check out the air bnb experience. Lots of great games, friendly atmosphere and very kind owner.

Always a blast! Great environment and great games! It is just a really amazing place to hang out! Machines from all eras, inexpensive to play and maintained with love. You really get the feeling the place is a labor of love, so it is hard not to love it! Quirky mini books, chess, card, and dice games to go with pinball, and tetris and minesweeper. It is on point with vintage games but doesnt feel forced!

Genuinely my favourite place I visited in Oregon. Extremely safe feeling. Person working at the front was very kind and is clearly involved in the community. Prices were reasonable. Menstrual products in the restroom. Friendly to all ages. Am already planning my next trip and 100% coming here. Helped me fall in love with Nehalem. Hoping to improve my pinball game!

Lots of new and classic machines beautifully maintained. Definitely THE place to get your flip on! The new Deadpool is super fun. And you can learn what an Italian Bottom is if you don't already know...!

Great pinball shop! Loads of fun for all ages!

Super fun. Owner is a gem. Safe and welcoming spot for all.

We had to see this place cz pin ball is the best ever!!.. even got a cool coin holder made by the owner.. yay!!.. gotta love the doggie ?? who likes to say hello ??!.. fun ,fun,fun!!

What a cool, niche pinball arcade? And the owner / operator sincerely seemed like a good person. AND beer is available is you're of age. Would totally return and play for hours.

We found out this place was just a couple minutes down the road from where we were staying. It's a small location so there's about 25 machines there but they are in excellent condition. The gentleman who runs it also maintains all the tables. Most of the tables are 50 cents to a dollar for a credit, there are a few machines that are 25 cents, mostly the older tables. You can buy 5 dollars worth of tokens and they come in a little container that he 3d prints himself. There are drinks and little souvenirs you

What a wonderful little spot to stumble upon! We were so excited to see signs for pinball on our little road trip and had to pull over. The variety of games was stellar with many of our favourites being featured and many games we'd never played before! The owner was lovely and welcoming and created such a warm and inclusive space. I wish that we lived closer as this would be a place that we would come to frequently. It is truly encouraging to see a small independent business such as this. Thank you for the

Great hidden gem on the Oregon coast, make sure to stop by when you are driving through.

I want to be the owner's friend he's so cool and talented! He really puts his heart and soul into keeping the best collection of pinball machines in one place running awesomely. These pinball machines are really well maintained, and that's amazing!!! This is my new favorite place for my days off. Pinball and awesome fish tacos right around the corner, YES!!!!

Not just one of the best pinball places in Oregon, one of the best pinball places in the U.S.! Will is so kind and keeps all of his games playing great. A MUST STOP any time you're coming down or up the 101!

My partner and I did a pin tour on the coast and this was our BEST stop. The owner was super welcoming and very nice, even took apart my favorite machine so I could get a look inside. They even make 3d printed token holders that are super cute, and if you have leftover tokens when you're all done you have the option to donate them to local causes to turn into cash by the owner. The lounge area, couple beers, and really well maintained machines make this an absolutely awesome place to be! I really like the f

Just happened upon it, but what an awesome pinball arcade. Just like they advertise, I've never seen a place with such good maintenance of their machines. Everything worked perfectly on the machines I tried. Their Replay levels are also very fair, I got free games on Monsters of Rock, Twilight Zone, and Bride of Pinbot. Playing an original Asteroids was also very cool. Great place, wish I lived near!

This place is the best. So many fun machines and great location on the Main Street in Nehalem.

A really enjoyable spot. Had a blast there with my kids, and I so appreciated the welcoming vibe (not all pinball places I've encountered allow kids). Highly recommend.

Phenomenal spot! Friendly, welcoming, well-curated selection of incredible and impeccably maintained tables. Stop by and drop a few tokens next time you're cruising the Oregon Coast ??

Walked in today for the first time, and we'll definitely be going back. This place is EXACTLY what you want. Do yourself a favor and check it out. As a pinball fan, it has a great collection of games, and is a great place for younger players who are new to pinball. A must-stop when visiting the Oregon Coast. I also must say, the owner/proprietor was the nicest and coolest gentleman. Very cool.

Would give 6 stars if possible. All of the best machines ever made, kept in immaculate condition, available to play at a bargain, and with a knowledgeable, friendly owner too. It's like if a car museum let you drive the collector cars and was happy to do so. Equally enjoyable for pinball nerds and newbies.

We were traveling through Nehalem this last weekend and were pleasantly surprised to see the North Coast Pinball sign. We immediately turned around and ended up spending a couple hours here. It ended up being the highlight of our trip. What a gem! I couldn't recommend North Coast Pinball enough. Their selection was great! Adams Family, Mars Attacks, Theater of Magic, plus many more. We will definitely be back.

What a great place. Our family has been there multiple times now and it's now part of our beach tradition. The owner is a super welcoming and enthusiastic pinball afisiciado. For $20, we get all the entertainment we can handle. Combine that with fish chips and mini donuts in the back, and life is good.

Was here on 11/14/2021 and I have to say the place was amazing! The curated selection of games that all played like they were brand new was a nice change from the neglected pins of seaside. Owner was super friendly and was willing to answer any questions and just talk pinball and didnt say a word when our pinball games kept him past closing time. You can tell the owner just loves and cares about pinball and wants to share that. PS. Also the 3d printed coin holders were pretty sweet! Keep up the great work,

This place is great! Hosted our cast party and also is a great place to take your family! Love the pinball and also the other classic arcade games there as well! (Wish they had more!)

Amazing collection of pinball machines! Very friendly staff as well. Particularly enjoyed the Revenge From Mars and Jurassic Park games!

This place is utterly fantastic. My wife and I are both pinball fans, and we spent $20 for tokens. The machines are configured to award bonus credits at certain token counts , and we would split the extra player between us during our games. The replay scores were set so that if you were pretty familiar with pinball, you wouldn't have a hard time reaching them for bonus games. All the machines were in great condition, rules were fair, and it was a great experience all around. They also donate extra tokens y

North Coast Pinball is an absolute gem. This is one of the friendliest, coziest and most welcoming places I've ever played. The games on the floor are well maintained. (Bonus credit for sharing technical updates and resolutions for the interested fellow nerds). They've got an epic variety of older and newer games. The love for pinball is apparent in the curation of this business from the custom coin holders, the pinball skill art on the walls, and the custom game notes inside each pin! This place feels lik

Had a great time!! Went here on Father's day with one of my sons. Came back this week with my other one. See you again soon.

We had a blast dropping into North Coast Pinball with our teenager and some youngsters. Two of the kids have never even seen pinball before! Game on. The place had a top-notch Twilight Zone machine and 7 or 8 other pinball games. Most were vintage, all were cool. The owner was even nice enough to answer questions on ways to get a multiball, and strategies for more points. He knew each machine like the back of his hand. This place is not fancy or splashy, but if you like pinball, or something new, this is a

Was driving down to Tillamook from seaside and we saw a sign for pinball and decided to stop on the way back, glad we did. Lots of new and vintage pinball games to play. Fun way to break up the drive. Had drinks you could buy also. Definitely worth stopping by for a bit on your travels you won't regret it.

What a blast! Great time, great experience. A very welcoming environment, fun range of pinball machines. Very simple place, it's all about playing and having fun. Somehow we lucked out and were there when a local pickup band was playing. Cannot wait to go back. Be sure to check out the vending machine!!

Absolutely worth a stop! This arcade has something for everyone from tots to seniors. The owner is so welcoming and his love of pinball is truly evident, as is his commitment to his community. You can purchase a cold beverage inside and while away some time having some serious fun!

Family friendly game room. Fun for 6 to 80. Owner loves the machines and keeps them in perfect condition. $20 will by an hour of fun on vintage to new models. He will share the history of pinball if you ask.

What an incredibly fun, family friendly place. We were staying in Wheeler for the night and decided to try some fish and chips at Riverside. Somehow we stumbled on to this place and it was one of the highlights of our entire vacation. The owner was so kind and showed our boys lots of tips on pinball machines. The business seems to just be getting started, but what a great place for this small community! Definitely coming again when we are in the area. Stop by if you want to have a great time! Step outside o

This place is AWESOME!! Pinball machines are well maintained and the selection is great. Owner is extremely helpful and friendly. Whether you're a pinball junkie or just wanting to have a nice family-friendly outing, I would highly recommend checking it out.

If you are a bored teenager, you definitely need to check this place out. If you are 40 something-year-old person, like me, and remember the arcades, this place is for you! If you're a parent with kids who are bored out of their minds, get them on a new kind of screen. What a fun place! Owner is great! Pinball games are super fun and well-priced!

I haven't been through Nehalem in a year or so, but today I came across this store and had to check it out. I think it's pretty new. When I came across it, it felt like a very special place, a hidden treasure. As I entered, the owner greeted us. He was also the guy that services the pinball machines. Whether you are a pinball wizard or just an occasional player, this place has a great vibe to it. Machines are old school all the way up to more recent machines with the bells and whistles and video screens.

This place is a true gem. Great selection, super welcoming and approachable for those new to pinball. Lots of fun to be had here. I look forward to a visit on every trip to the coast.

Absolutely wonderful coastal surprise. The machines are in terrific shape, and the book shelf / vibe can't be beat.

This place is a slice of old school pinball heaven. Great mix of classic and modern games, some for as low as 1 token! Super friendly owner and very comfortable atmosphere. If you love pinball, make sure to stop by.

What a fun place to discover! They have some great vintage pinball machines that brought me back to my youth, like Terminator and Jurassic Park. My kids (4 and 8) loved it too! We will definitely be back.

This place was such a great time, the owner was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend the pinball ?tastings? where he shows you the inside of various machines explains how they work, how they break and how they've changed over the years. 10/10 experience that really made our trip.

So much fun!! The owner is so nice. Had a great birthday party there and was very accommodating. Highly recommend! Also check out the cool vending machine!

Absolutely fantasmic spot, right on the Oregon Coast! While North Coast Pinball is every pinball lover's dream, anyone who loves peace, love and fun will find a place in their heart for this electronic amusement palace! The owner is a pinball wizard, but of the very humble and kind sort, a la Gandalf. You won't regret spending a few hours dropping tokens in the machines like it's the 20th Century all over again, back to a future brighter than ever!

This place is INCREDIBLE! There is a decent rotation of machines that are professionally maintained and serviced by the friendly, informative and funny staff members! The purpose of this place is simple: play and get better at Pinball! They even sell souvenir pinballs from inside the machines!

One of the best experiences of our Oregon coast vacation. The owner is very happy to give interesting info about the history and progress of pinball machines.

Fantastic pinball hall with a great selection of machines. All the best classics plus newer releases. Great atmosphere and events too.

This place is a coastal habit, The machines are top notch, the owner is super awesome guy. 100% recommend. Bring the friends and family, get some tokens and enjoy yourself for a couple of hours.

I can feel it. Great experience, a little bit there for everyone. Awesome collection, from retro to current. They obviously care about the condition of the machines, but also want people to really enjoy them. Cant wait to see where it goes from here!

We stopped here on our trip and were extremely happy we did. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. With how clean the machines were, you could clearly see his passion for what he does

Amazing collection of the best of the best pinball, all of the games are in excellent condition. The owner is very friendly, and gave out free popcorn! Loved our time at the place

Love this place, amazing arcade with some great pins that are well maintained.

Loved it, family reunion had a great time. Young and old?everyone loves pinball!!! Cute store, cool vending machine, fun merch! Buy yourself a hat today.

Nice and clean place for nostalgia.

Literally pulled a U-Turn to stop and check out this little hole in the wall while on our way from Tillamook to Cannon Beach. Lovely little space, kind and humorous owner, and loved the vending machine full of books and zines!

Great collection of pinball games. I appreciated that they also had space to sit and play board games or draw with paper and crayons. Seems like a great community oriented establishment.

So cool. Not sure how I've missed this place over the years but I'm glad we pulled in and checked it out. Great selection of games.

Great place with clean, well maintained games. Replays are very generous. I will be back!

Absolutely love this place! Such a fun vibe, and the owner is super nice! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to do something fun while they're on the coast :)

Fun and unique place. Classic games, few with a modern twist. Not what you might expect, but worth it. Little kids not so much.

Super cool place! Will be back!

We love stopping by this place! Owner is awesome and great atmosphere . Great games!

Had a great time with my kiddo and the machines are good. He also has a few antique machines that you can play.

Very worth a deep dive.

We had an amazing time, so much fun.

Awesome place with vintage and modern pinball...adult and n/a drinks available. Plus a cool vending machine.
