Pinball Garage

This is a fun place for kids, teens, friends or families. Unique place that has three rooms of pinball machines, claw prize machines and a variety of other games. Free parking, reasonable prices and clean inside. Friendly staff. Food was pretty good and a good variety menu. We took our 3 and 4 year old grandsons so we brought their little stools that they carried around so they can play and reach the games independently, lol. They loved it all ???? Lunch for 2 adults and 2 children was $56. You can buy r

I was excited to find a place like this conveniently located near our hotel on our trip to Hamilton. The pizza was above average, but the pin selection was fantastic. All the new popular machines with a smattering of classic pins. My only gripe is I felt they did over charge a little for some of the older machines. Im sorry but essentially a 1.25 per play for a 90's pin is a bit much.

If you love arcade games, this is your place. Don't let the name fool ya. Tons of stuff for kids of all ages. And of course pinball. Definitely a fun time anytime you go. Bartenders are awesome and genuinely enjoy their job. Food is available to order from All8Up and it gets right to ya. Check it out for a great time!

We chose this location for an 18 year birthday party celebration. It was fantastic! They were very welcoming, friendly & made it easy to create a memorable experience. The games were great for all ages! As an adult reminiscing with all the games we played as kids was so fun! It was even more enjoyable sharing those games with my own children! We will be back again as a family!

Food was great, atmosphere was excellent. The lady that took out orders behind the bar was a bit cold, but she might have been having a bad day

We loved it here! I haven't played in years and it was an amazing experience. They have a good amount of pinball machines. Their alcohol selection was good as well. They are very reasonable with prices. Will definitely return regularly. My favorite machine was the Iron Maiden and the TMNT machines.

We had our joint birthday party at Pinball Garage! The staff was so accommodating and helped us with anything we needed! Our friends and family loved playing a variety of pinball machines & enjoyed the food and drinks! Pinball Garage is such a great addition to the Hamilton community! Highly recommend you stop here for a fun time! We love it there!

My daughter and I met friends here for lunch. My daughter and her friend played the games that were available. Mostly pinball machines but a few arcade games and claw games. I ordered the pulled pork tater tots. It was good but would have been better if it were hot. Good portions for the price. My daughter got an individual pizza, and my friend got a calzone. It was not busy when we went, so I didn't expect to wait as long as we did for our food.

Absolutely one of the greatest places ever! Huge selection of new and classic pinball tables. Lots of other games too! Full bar Kid/family friendly Great place to host a party You can also order food from All8Up and have it brought over in a jiffy! (BEST wings on this planet!)

This stranger (to me) opened his business to my son and the rest of my family for his 13TH birthday ! He rounded up so many people with ?neat? cars because my son is a car fanatic and they all showed up for him ! He had ?the best birthday ever? (my son?s words) . When we arrived we were welcomed with nothing but kindness ! The price to reload game cards is very reasonable and he also has so many good games inside as well.! He also owns the pizza place next door to the arcade which I didn't get the name of b

The best food, fun, and games for people of all ages! Whenever someone comes into town, I take them to Pinball Garage. It is a must visit while you are in Hamilton. Great beer, liquor, and non-alcoholic drink selection. They have the best smoked wings I have ever had! Try the chili, and stay for the pizza. Seriously, there is something for everyone, and everything they offer is fantastic!

I've been to the pinball garage several times for birthday parties it is fun but a little pricey. I strongly suggest the chicken wings! They are by far some of the best you'll find around. As for the games the only thing I suggest is to stay away from the claw machines they have them set so sensitive that you hardly win any of the I assume very cheap prizes..

Well this place rocks!!!, we saw the construction situation a couple years ago. Not sure maybe a delay, we find ourselves in Hamilton today for the Christmas lights. We saw this place, we had to stop... Converted garage into a pinball game room , they hold birthdays too. Pretty amazing games updated. Not just old 1970s games. Very clean. Plenty of liquid refreshments available and some unique ticket light games. Or you can earn a key to possibly open the door etc. Hidden here in Hamilton and it wasn't jam p

Good times and good food! Fun atmosphere, pulled pork and brisket ?? and the chili is delicious!! Draft beer, mixed drinks, non alcoholic drinks also. Kid friendly! Most games are $1, which you load on to one of their cards. Simple.

Great place to hang out with friends! Game rates are very affordable, drinks options are great, and the food is on point. This is definitely a place you should check out, while you're in the area. They offer reloading on game cards. The machine for gaming cards accepts cash or credit card payment.

It's really unfortunate that this place is so out of the way, because everyone should know this place. They have very high quality and modern pinball machines; either they work perfectly or they are marked out of order. They have many different beers and spirits on tap and also craft ginger beer and craft root beer on tap. The service is friendly, too. Great for a date night or an evening out with friends.

I really enjoyed Pinball Garage. Pinball with adult beverages?! YES! Easy to get to. Clean. Great staff & service. I will be back! Sorry, no food feedback or review. I can say the beer tasted great!

Great staff, fun atmosphere,decent selection of beers.. And once you're done having fun there, it's very walkable to other places The only things that would make that place better is if they had a more up to date Golden Tee golf game!

I arrived late with my family around 10ish and by the time I realized there was food, the kitchen had already closed, which is totally cool, cause it was almost closing time at this point. They had a guy outside performing and he was good. Overall, I enjoyed myself, liked the punching bag thing the most. My son and his cousin actually won the Nintendo set, which was coolest of all, but regardless of them winning anything, we still had a really good time, and will be back! This time to try the food!

Such a fun place to spend some time. The machines are meticulously maintained, the food is very good, and there are lots of drink choices including frozen drinks and craft beers on tap. We had a wondeful time and will certainly be back!

Atmosphere is good and there's a lot of different variety of games but there was not enough room. It got crowded pretty quickly and not enough space to sit and eat. We got pizza nuggets fries and wings. The nuggets were walmart banquet nuggets and were nasty. The wings were so questionable we didn't even try to eat them.

We had an amazing private birthday for my son there. They were super accommodating, the price was great for 15 kids and some children got to try pinball for first time. The owner Brad was incredible in assisting with the details and our host for the night, Larry was a gem. They cleaned up at the end and all I had to do was put up decorations. I will DEFINITELY book my party there again!!

We have loved going to Pinball Garage! It is our new family hangout spot. We attended on their first day open to the public and have been back at least once every week since. The games are priced fairly and there is always one machine that is "half-price" for the week. The beverage selection (beers and bourbons) is fantastic. There is even a special fountain root beer that our kids love to drink while playing. The staff is super nice and the vibe is very cool all day long. You are missing out if you don't c

A nice place to drink & play pinball. That's about it. Good atmosphere with a great, caring staff. All the "skill" games in the back half (Claw Machines, Stop-to-win, Cut-to-win) are set to very low win rates. Which makes for less fun. ????

Just a fantastic spot. The family that owns this also owns arcade legacy in sharonville. Very grateful that such a cool family has blessed greater Cincinnati with awesome entertainment options. Now to the review? bartenders are awesome. Games are fairly priced. TONS of pinball options, a lot of claw games, then Pac-Man and a couple older games in the front room, also some more non pinball games in the back room. (Total of three separate rooms for games) Beer selection is just incredible, IPA?s, Sours, you

Great place and so much fun for my wife and I to enjoy a date night. They have amazing service, fair prices, and plenty of game options to choose from in multiple sections. I would highly recommend and we plan on going back soon.

Such a cool space. So many great machines and all of them are setup super well. Had a great time and can't wait to go back!

Fun local place to play pinball and many other arcade games. Also a huge beer menu, even domestic drafts are featured here! You can spend hours here for a relatively low price. Order a pizza or bbq too!

Today was our first time there! We loved it and look forward to coming back soon with the kids. Next time we will be there before the pizza cut off time of 7:00 lol

I went for pinball and it's easily the most expensive in the area. $1.25 a game is a little much so we left to go somewhere where our quarters go a little further. Everything WAS clean and the staff friendly, so if cost isn't an issue this might be a better fit for you.

Literally the coolest spot in Hamilton. The food is amazing, bar staff is great and the games are a blast. Couldn't think of a better way to spend money locally.

This place was amazing!!! So clean and the staff were amazing the food was delicious and we received it really quickly after ordering!! Will definitely be returning!!!

Very cool spot loved the decor and atmosphere. All the pinball machines worked flawlessly as well as the charge card to play the machines. Pricing was very reasonable me and my wife paid $25 for a charge card and when we left we still had plenty of plays left on it and we played 8 different machines 2x each. The beers were very good a good selection of beer from ciders, pilsners, lagers to ales. Staff was very nice and accommodating.

Great place! The atmosphere is wonderful. Staff are very friendly. Never had a bad time there. I recommend Pinball Garage if you are in the area. Alot of fun for the entire family.

Great lineup of games kept in very good shape. Bring your A game because they are set up tough. Hope to be able to visit again soon.

Great place, loved the pinball but i was really impressed with the beer choices. Totally unexpected

My Go to place to hang out with the family. Kid friendly. Good food. Awesome employees

Popped in with my 16yr old who had never played a pinball machine. Played a few and split... He liked it... LOL

100 percent they have rigged games here that do not stop when you hit the button or release, like the giant gengar and also the pokemon cards. Waste of money

I had a blast. The pinball machines were fun. Had 2 video games like Galaga. Fun for adults and kids.

My husband and I had a great time and we will be back. They have a huge selection of games. The price is reasonable. There is also a bar and snacks available.

Great spot to hang out. They have great food, drinks, and it is a family friendly place. My kids love playing the pinball games and trying to win the prizes in the games in the back room. My favorite is the brisket tater tots they are the best. Brad is also super supportive of our town!

Eh. It's a beautiful place, the bartender was kind... But idk $5 for 3 games of pinball and $8 bucks for a coke vodka and vanilla. Way too steep for me. It's a cool place but just not worth it in my opinion.

Loved the Pinball Garage! They have so many great machines. One of my favorites was Deadpool - it has some of my favorite Xmen featured in it. We also had a blast playing Ghost Busters (it was the weekly special at $0.50 a play) - I really liked the ball saver in between the flippers on this machine.

The people, food, drinks and service are amazing here! I love their brisket pizza!

I love pinball. The drinks were tasty even if I had to settle for titos over ketel one ;) the nearby pizza joint delivered a good Buffalo chicken pizza and there was a wide variety of beer for the beer drinkers. Entertainment food and drinks - a good night out.

I came out here for my birthday i had a great time! $20 and I was able to get a drink and play for 2 hours. Great price and great staff. I was surprised out how family friendly it was. Families out until 10pm with small children. Its great to see such a welcoming environment!

This pace is a great pinball bar tons of games a in great working condition. 25 bucks let me play for hours and the free games on the machines seem to be set pretty low so they are easy to get. Had a awesome time

Holy smokes! What a fun time. We had pulled pork, brisket, hot honey tots and loaded pulled pork tots. Ace colada was good. Service was great. This place has all the old favorites like Fun house and some new ones. They have expanded.

All of the machines worked great, the staff was super nice and very helpful. Games are reasonably priced, and the facility was very clean. Went as a family and will definitely be going back!

I am from out of state and I made a trip to Ohio to visit some friends of mine. One of these friends is a regular here and demanded we hang out and get some drinks here at least once. Well, we ended up showing up to Pinball Garage at least once a day for the remainder of our trip. The business is extremely clean, the machines are very well kept, and the food and drinks are amazing. Chris and Devon are a couple of the bartenders and they were some of the nicest and best people I've ever met. I promise this p

This is the coolest arcade bar I've been to. Mostly pinball games but they all work and are clean. Pricing is about $1 per game. We ended up spending a few hours here and I didn't expect to like it as much as I did! Bar has a great selection of bourbon too if that's your thing! We'll be back

They have a whole lot of premium pinball. They have specials on their Facebook page -- things like unlimited play on certain games. This was a beautiful and well-kept place. Good was decent and the bar looked pretty full. They have limited, but free, adjacent parking.

I love this place. It is fun for the whole family. If you love playing pinball machines this is the place. Friendly staff. Great selection of adult beverages.. Great food selection.

We have been several times with family and friends. Always a great time and especially fun to participate in their trivia nights. Food is ordered at bar and brought right to your table from the restaurant across the street, All-8up. Very family friendly and very fun!

My family and I had a great time. We were visiting from Florida, so we were excited to be able to have that experience.????????

Great pinball place ? machines in very good working order and a nice selections behind the bar for mixed drinks, draft beer or cans. Plenty of NA options if you prefer and for kids. Impressed with the setup, ease with the play by card and again All The Games Worked in Great Condition. Not an easy feat for pinball. Highly recommend for a family outing, late night gaming or just a bit of couples fun. Lots of food options nearby / deliver for a snack or lunch/dinner.

Great date night place. But also a good family fun night as well. They don't specifically make food there but are associated with All 8 up pizza, which is 2 doors over. The wings are exceptional! There are some great pinball machines as well as some newer style games the kids like.

This place is awesome! They serve alcohol but are kid friendly. Some games are free. I would definitely recommend paying them a visit! Everyone staff and patrons were really nice.

This place is AWESOME! A great combination of old school pinball and new games. My kids had a blast with the claw games. Oh, they have slushies!! It brought back memories of going to the arcade as a kid. We will definitely be going back.

Really great place with a very good pinball collection. The employees are very friendly and helpful!

Ok this was a great find. This was so much fun. Very nice staff. They have beverages for everyone. Nice clean environment for all ages. We went during the day with our kids. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

We did an end of school friend celebration. I don't know if the 10yr olds or the 44 yr old ... We did the fanny pack of tokens which kept our group of 5 amused for a few hours. Kids loved the non alcoholic slushy option. I liked that I could check in on my beer tracking app. The 44 year old was in pinball heaven. We will definitely be back

Love Pinball Garage!! Great staff, great machines and an awesome tap list. Has become a weekly visit!!

Incredibly cliquish. Employees were obviously more interested in interacting with regulars. The entire group of us, were ignored for the most part... At least until the employees were done talking to others...

The owner and his family are the first things I brag about when I tell people about Pinball Garage. They are such determined, generous and all around amazing people! Along with their employees who are always welcoming, timely and energetic! The food is absolutely amazing from All8Up (delivered to PBG) and I'm not just saying that because my sister runs it along with her husband who's the GM. Truly great food, awesome selection of beer and other beverages, always clean facilities and of course the pinball se

Overall a great experience. My only complaint is that the games are just too expensive. $1.5-$2 per game is atrocious. Not only that but the claw machines are set to rarely, if ever, pay out. It's pathetic that your kid wants a cheap stuffed animal and can't get it, not because of a poor calculation with the claw, but because the claw grip strength is literally set to "screw you". Such a gimmick. The place is loaded with these types of machines too.

Tilted rootbeer is a new fave! Had a good time with friends and where else can you win a Bob Ross?!

This place is awesome and I was so excited to be able to play good variety of pinball machine's and have drink's. Shots are rather on the high side but I love this place..

This place is great! So many awesome pinball machines, both new and classic (including my all-time favorite: The Addams Family from 1992) Had an amazing time, definitely will be coming back!

a new go to when i wanna chill out. love how updated the games are, they're really cool.

Closed the place out for my kid's 21st birthday, going back tomorrow to play more pinball. Great pinball arcade for a city the size of Hamilton!

This place is great! All the pinball machines are bright and in great condition. They are a bit pricier to play these days, being $1.25 per play on most machines, but the machines are well-maintained. The beer selection has something for everyone! The food is also fantastic. They now own All8Up and have a great variety of pizza, BBQ, and wing sauces.

Awesome place! Very family friendly even at night. Our 2 yo grandson had a blast last evening. Love the fact you can now get food late on wknd! I think last call was food now is like 10:45 FR & SAT. If you haven't eaten here, do yourself a solid and try it??????????

First time in there, was a Thursday night had all the machines to ourself.

had a blast with my gf can't wait to go back

Have been a regular since 2021, great selection of pinball tables, plentiful selection of non-pinball games for the younger crowd, and an alcohol lineup to satisfy adult patrons of all kinds. This place is fun for the whole family from many angles.

The day I went, it was a free bingo night, so overall, it was super busy, and I could not blame them for keeping up with the demand for food and drinks. I waited 2hours to get my food, but they did not charge me, and when it finally came, it was so hot it burned my mouth. The meatball sub was amazing. Would order again. I recommend this place and will visit again.

My son and I have been meaning to stop in here, and I am so glad we finally did. What great place to have lunch with your 15yr old son! We played games while we waited for our food (which was only 15mins) And they have root beer on tap! Then we played and didn't want to leave! The atmosphere was inviting and we met a little boy there that helped us decided what to try on the menu and what games he liked best! Keep up the great work Pinball Garage!!

Pinball Garage is amazing on all levels. Some of the best staff I've ever had the pleasure of doing business with, reasonable prices, more food and drink options than you could ever hope for, and an amazing pinball collection. The Garage has become a second home for my family. We love it. Not even exaggerating when I say it's the best local business in all of Hamilton!

My husband and I were in Hamilton overnight. I found this place in the Community Guide at our hotel. We LOVED it! We played pinball as kids and young adults but pinball has disappeared over time. We stayed until they closed and we felt like kids again! If your ever in Hamilton this is definitely a place to check out! People were friendly....drinks perfect. Good thing we don't live there....we would go every night. Good place??

Very nostalgic little place. They serve beer and have a few different on tap, IPA's and the normals. The pinball selection is diverse and inclusive genre wise. It's kid friendly with a section where you can win prizes and such and a cotton candy machine that makes it right before your eyes!!!!. The food isn't overly priced and it has outdoor seating which is comprised of benches that are beautiful in the warmer months. From what I saw it uses street parking but is wheelchair accessible and inclusive. Made

Awesome spot, food is amazing drinks are good. Can't go wrong with pinball and drinks.

First visit here was on a Saturday night during a import car show! Great atmosphere at the bar and there were also food and drink booths and a DJ in the surrounding streets. Will go again, especially of there is a car show.

Took our grandkids to Pinball Garage. They really enjoyed themselves and had PLENTY of games to choose from to play. We will certainly come back. Good crowd, nice beer selection, and root beer on tap for the kids.

2nd time visiting. This place has it all. Old pinball, new pinball, craft beer and good food close by. Found my favorite old machine ?Addams Family? and my new favorite, ?RUSH? .

I didn't rate the food because we were there just for the pinball machines. The cost below is just what we paid to play the games. Great concept, and I love that young kids are going here to play the games. Very friendly staff.

They have a surprisingly high end menu and the staff are awesome. All the games work and there's even a cotton candy machine. It's really just a great place to hang out. It's got something for everyone. Kid friendly, but it also has great food and a full bar. Honestly one of my favorite places in Hamilton.
