There may be no better pinball deal in all the land! Monday's $5.00 cover and all the games (pinball and so much more) that you can play! A very cool experience indeed!
Like going back in time! We had a blast! We weren't planning on stopping by but once we went downstairs we were just forced to grab a beer and get some change for the machines. The kids and hubby were in love with the ninja turtles video game and the local beers too. The attendants were very nice and to be a ?boy?s establishment? this place was very very clean. The kids loved it so much that they want to come back to Colorado just for this barcade that allows people of all ages to have some fun and be kids
A fun place to hang out and play some games. Pinball machines were all well maintained and cover a broad range of decades. Place is clean and the bartender happily greeted me as a first time visitor! I also enjoyed playing Street Fighter 2! Now if they had Killer Instinct... :-)
Great selection of pins! The folks here really know and care about the hobby. Had an error with Dune that lost me my game and the guy on staff took care of it and reimbursed my coins.
Amazing place. Great variety of machines and loved how developed and the variety they had. Four stars because couple of the machines just took the coins and didn't work so we lost like 5 bucks. But otherwise a nice place to hangout and have fun
great place, shoutout to tony for being a great and nice bartender, on monday theres free play monday where you pay $5 and get to play games from 12pm to 11pm, you get to leave and come back and you can still play games, great games, this place is my childhood, again shoutout to the bartender on mondays, tony ?????? -Colten and Alex
Pretty chill place. Old school games. And they have a bar. Only native thing I would add is that it gets pretty hot down there and they have no air conditioning.
I took a group of 5th grade girls there for my daughter's birthday on a Monday for $5 free play and it was a blast! It was quite busy as it was a cold day and a holiday, but the girls got to play all the games they wanted. The bartender was super nice.
So. Much. Fun. I felt like I travelled back in time. It was so fun showing these games to my kids, and you can't beat one price for all you can play on Mondays!
Fun surprise! Free popcorn (soda and chips for purchase) and great beer bottles and draft options. There's a change machine for playing games of your choice. A ton of antique games, including bowling! There's daily specials and leagues, too. Monday's are $2 PBR tallboy. Look forward to returning. We came on an early Wednesday afternoon, so it was a bit deserted (per pics); but I know this place gets pretty busy at night!
This is a pinball bar. Best one I have ever been to. They had all the classics. Beers and snacks too. Also other old games that are alot of fun like skeeball
Amazing!!! Best money spent on this vacation by far! Love the variety of the machines. The one thing I'd suggest is putting the machines on mute unless people are interacting with it. There were only a half dozen people playing but I couldn't hear my machine due to all the noise. I loved the stranger things pinball game but it would have been much better if I could have heard the characters. There was also skiball and air hockey that would have been fun if I had friends along.
Friendly staff and loved the unlimited play day!
The five-dollar Mondays is a wonderful time with friends. And it's a wonderful place to be otherwise. A gorgeous little spot in town
Amazing. Everyone that thinks they might like pinball must go here. Shout out to the Jaws table, it came out this year and it's dope.
Great selection of some of the top rated pinball machines ever! All in great shape. Should reduce each game by 25 cents.
Visited while traveling for a work trip to check out the pinball collection. Did the Monday $5 Free Play and let me tell you this place was packed! Every machine was in use. Games are all setup to play slow and in good working order. Got to check off Banzai Run off my bucket list. Highly recommend this ?underground? pinball hub.
We had our wedding rehearsal dinner at Pinball Jones and it was the best! It was so affordable to rent the entire place out and have games set to free play. Zach was our bartender for the event and was great! We were able to bring in our own food and are family and friends had the best time.
Love this place! Its a really fun atmosphere and the selection of pinball machines is impressive. My only wish is that they had a more diverse menu of drinks. Also alot of the machines cost 4 quarters which is kind of pricey. Definitely go on Monday when they have $5 free play.
Friendly staff, excellent selection of pinball games and other arcade activities with the air hockey, skee ball, and foosball options. Decent beer menu. It can be a bit stuffy and warm if there's a ton of people so dress light if you're planning on a long visit!
I used to love this place, but the last year or so I've found the machines, with the except of a few of the newest ones, are in pretty rough shape. Even the video games (which tend towards lower maintenance, specifically Donkey Kong and Ms Pacman), and the air hockey, but also the high pull games like Adams Family and Twilight Zone have some pretty serious maintenance issues. Note that if the machine says "Credits 0." with a dot after the 0, means that the machine needs maintenance. They do have a good se
5 dollar all you can play on Mondays only! You can leave and come back on this day as much as you want and not have to pay again, plus you can free play for 5 bucks from noon til midnight! Omg was super fun! We had a blast and Tony was super welcoming to my kids and I! Thanks Pinball Jones!!! We had so much fun!!!!!!
Great little pinball joint tucked neatly underground with loads of choices of machines and craft beers alike.. an environment to fill the entertainment needs of teens and adults alike.. just awesome
We have been coming here since late 2012 and always our favorite. Pinball Jones has been a family tradition. Goodtimes!
Awesome atmosphere and great people. It's a pretty weird lay out just cause the games are right in the entrance and you are kinda just left to see where to go next but it's not a big place but it's definitely good enough size for friends or a date also has a bar which is pretty nice it's not to big as well so if you are like me and don't like the bigger bars and loud trap music Definitely check it out.
We are from out of state and this place was recommended to us by my son so we checked it out. All of the pinball machines only accept quarters and they have an old school coin changer. My 15 y/o other son put in his $5 bill in and changed it. Then the bartender/manager guy explained that it was ?free play Monday? and $5 got you all the free play. I explained to him that we didn't know and my son had already changed his $5 bill and asked if he would buy back the quarters in exchange for the $5 fee. This man
Fun establishment. Only downside is pinball machines and their love of eating coins and having the ball find the space between paddles too often. Great selection of machines, some a return to history, and they all play very good. The staff is quick to address issues and get you a drink. Watch your step going to and fro, its downstairs and could be slippery.
This place is so much fun and a must visit for those coming to Fort Collins!! Their beer and cider selections are local and constantly rotating, with friendly bartenders pouring them. They have more pinball machines than you can play in one visit, but they also have arcade games and skeeball. Been here numerous times and always have a great time!
Lots of pinball machines, some old school arcade classics. Special on beer with purchase for games. Bartenders are friendly and professional.
Unfriendly to persons with medical disorders. I've lived in Fort Collins for over 25 years and I've been part of the pinball Jones history since it's open date. I am unable to drink due to pancreatitis and due to another medical condition I am unable to walk without a limp in my right hip. Due to this condition I was unable to entry pinball Jones. Upon this denial I acquired paperwork to described by a medical decision, and that was yet still denied entry to Pinball Jones. I will make an appointment to spea
Great place to hang. Don't expect high-class finishes, but there is classic entertainment. This is an amazing dive bar in the truest sense. Meaning that it is literally subterranean. (Be careful on those steps. They can be a doozy) Great fun, good drinks, and minimal airflow that makes you feel like you are embracing the Old Town experience. Head down there and enjoy.
Great place for dates especially on Monday as they have a five dollar cover fee which allows you to come in and enjoy as much game play as you want free of charge. They have a bunch of drafts, cocktails and a small list of snacks to enjoy. Pinball Jones doesn't just have pinball machines, they offer other arcade favorites including ski ball, air hockey, trigger fighting and racing games. Overall a fun place to go to for a few hours of fun!
It's been far too long since I have been in with my son, since the pandemic hit. Nicely remodeled and the games are fresh as ever. The staff is always top notch and accommodating. Nice beer selection and always fantastic music playing. Looking forward to our next adventure to play pinball and arcade games. Love this place. 10 stars!
Lots of fun, machines are setup to keep you playing with good replay settings. I unloaded all my quarters and was happy to do so. The mix of machines is great and they all work. They are clean and well running, something you don't see often.
A lot of great and fun choices for pinball and other games. Note: It's a loud space.
Love this place! Great selection of beer/cider on tap and in bottles/cans. Lots of awesome pinball and arcade games. Monday night is tons of fun, entry is $10 for unlimited games and sometimes they raffle prizes. Other days/times its normal, pay with quarters to play. They also have league games, even one for beginners that's super fun!
Always enjoy Pinball Jones!! It's even better when new games come in that you didn't know existed. It's to get a high score, even if someone beats you a week later.
Friendly crew, delicious drinks, best place to spend with family.
Great little arcade place with craft brew and a small bar. All local craft on tap and small bar in back. Mostly pinball games but they also have air hockey, video games, ski ball and a few others. Fun place to play a few games and enjoy a few games!
Love this place! Best place for beer and something to do while drinking haha. No more awkward silence or boredom on a date or hanging with friends! Just a great time that keeps you wanting to come back for more! Love the industry night on Monday nights: $5 if you work in the service industry, $10 for everyone else, free games 8pm-11am ??? They also have beginner and regular pinball leagues: learn different pinball machines and test your skills for $$! ???
Awesome place to have fun for just a few bucks! Bring your quarters and grab a beer from their rotating selections always have great beer even some rare ones. Free popcorn too! If its not too busy I bet you can find a couple free plays in the pinball machines. Bartenders are always cool and helpful. Fun place for any kind of date
Usually where I either start or end a night in Downtown Fort Collins. Reasonable beer prices, good beer selection, fun games, and a great atmosphere. The only thing I dislike about the place is it gets way too hot down there and I can't usually spend more than 45 minutes before I have to head out to somewhere cooler. If they could find a way to retrofit that place with better cooling, I would spend entire nights there. Really fun place.
Went there the night of December 5th 2023 apparently they had a private party, but their no signs up or closer on the site. The company who had rented it out was the rudest people I have ever met and was acting like the front door was a 420 smoke circle. Didn't see a person working at all.
Had a very fun date here. Hate the stairs more than anything else in this world, but once you get to the games, it's awesome. I had a lot of fun with some silly shooting game, multiplayer Pac-Man, skee ball, and air hockey. Wound up sweaty and sore, but very happy.
This place is awesome. 20+ classic pinball games, 20 other retro and newer machines. Staff was fun to chat with, decent prices on beer, good music playing. Random dogs walking around, which I find to be awesome. 4 person pacman and time crisis 3 were my favorites
There is just too much fun to be had here. So many great pinball machines in such great shape. You can't help but pump quarter after quarter into machine after machine. It's a must-stop if you're in Fort Collins! Great for a date night as well!
A bad place to have a good time. There is no ADA access -- to get in, you have to go down the stairs into the basement level. The staff is rude and they clearly don't care about their jobs. The staff began turning off all the games 15 minutes before closing time and at closing time he started yelling at people including myself to "get out" and "don't come back" and unplugged games as visitors were playing them because the staff wanted to go home. I felt unsafe and verbally attacked and I felt like things wo
I love this place! I try to get out there about twice a month to play. Has an old school arcade feel. There is always a good selection of classic and modern tables to try out, and they're always trying to get the most recent releases in house. They've also got a fine beer selection that rotates on a regular basis, and the prices are in-line with what you would pay at any other taphouse. The staff is super friendly and will also take any comments on the tables as far as how they are playing and if it is
I've always enjoyed going to pinball jones, but the dude straight up turned off our air hockey machine just cause it's close to midnight. Other people were still playing their games. There's a difference between telling someone ?we are closing soon? and turning off a air hockey game that I already put money in. Its a bar/arcade for crying out loud. Never coming again.
Best bar in all the land. Awesome staff, great pinball selection and delicious CO beer! If you're into ski ball and 4 player Pacman, they have that too! Can't wait for tournaments to start back up again!!!!
This is a very cool pinball specific gaming haven. It's in the basement of the building which adds to the allure. There are two areas, one has the pinball machines and the other has skeet ball, and more traditional games. Oh and there's a bar here if that's your thing! Very fun, do it!
Pretty cool vibe, I enjoyed the place. They had a cool fun pong machine!
The first thing I noticed when I entered was the smell of ozone that screams out, "play some pinball!!!" So we did, and it was fun. Plus, they have a decent beer selection. Our family always swings in for an hour every time we're downtown and we always have a great time.
We went with our kids during the day, it's a bar but it's totally family friendly especially before dark. We had an absolute ball playing some classic pinball games, and a few new ones we had never seen. We loved playing glow-in-the-dark air hockey and skee-ball. We'd definitely go again!
Tony, thank you for being so welcoming and for serving us drinks. My partner and I went for the first time last night and had a blast!
Great place to go to take you back to 70s and 80s. Great pinball games
Fun spot for pinball. Wouldn't recommend getting any liquor here though. They overcharge and underpour. $16 for 2 drinks (1 single and 1 double) and the bartender copped out saying they do ?2 second pours?. Great place for pinball but don't get scammed by their bar.
Awesome joint. Two rooms of video games, pinball, skeeball bowling ... and beer! Can't ask for anything more. No tickets to win, but your high score can get you immortalized on the back wall of winners. Perfect downtown location, definitely worth a visit.
This place is great. You can easily miss the staircase to it, so keep your eyes open. You enter from basement level into 2 sections of pinball arcade. The atmosphere is great. There are quarter machines there along with a bar :)
Love Pinball Jones! The atmosphere is so authentic to the older arcade era, the smell, sounds and games really make me wish I grew up with older video games. Had a game jam up on me twice and they were very kind in refunding and fixing the game. Great place
Neat little spot for people with or without kids. Lots of fun games and decent variety of beverages as well. The location is super ideal and close to shopping and food!
So much pinball! Great beers (they have gluten free too!)??
Pinball jones has grown in the last few years and they have built up a great arcade in that time. They have great old games that I haven't seen anywhere else, and they are fun to play! The owner is very nice, and the icing on top is they sell good beer.
The arcade features two rooms of old pinball machines that cost a quarter. There are a couple of eccentric old video games as well as some old time bowling games. My three middle schoolers love the place however I thought it smelled like a sewer in there. It's in the basement of an old building. At 9 p.m. the arcade is closed to children and a barroom crowd takes over. With a better Decor in a more kid friendly atmosphere, the place would be even better.
I visited this video arcade place, it was the best place i ever went!!! 5 stars for that amazing place. LET'S GO BRONCOS!!!
Anyplace with a good selection of Pinball machines and Skee-ball is great with me! Staff is always friendly and cool. The beer prices are good with a good rotating selection. You can also munch on free popcorn when it's available!
Great place to go for some fun and cold beverage. The vintage arcade games and pinball machines are super fun and the atmosphere is casual and great to be around. One of my favorite places in Fort Collins.
If you love a great selection beers, and some fun as hell well maintained machines, then this place is fantastic. I guess the warnings would be expect it to be balmy inside sometimes. Also, there isn't an ATM in the building. There is one right outside, and the first language on it is Korean for some reason, so that's fun. The bartenders have a great taste for bad 80s movies on the tv between games. Oh, they've got Konami classic The Simpsons arcade game still chugging.
Great place to spend some time! I have always loved playing pinball, and Pinball Jones brought back the opportunity to have some fun. Quirky, underground location adds to the scene. If you haven't already, go for a visit!
Between 5 dolar free play Mondays and the best machines around, Dave and busters better watch out if this "dive bar with a pinball problem" ever franchises!!! Thanks Vincent ,you and your pace are 5 stars all the way!!!
So fun, throw back games. Take the family on weekday evenings for 30 minutes or so for a memorable time not crazy crowded. The 16 yr olds loved it, i had 3 of them and my daughter too at 16 said, she is going back and wants to take her friends.
I love free play Monday. $5 cover charge per person seems more than reasonable. I strongly recommend stopping by if you have an hour to kill.
This is a brilliant idea. You get to play pinball and have some drinks. There isn't much more to ask for. The games are rotated regularly and there are always plenty of machines open. There is a place to get change with both a card and cash. I will revisit this place again in the near future.
A very fun environment. For the most part, it's a friendly space for people who easily get over-stimulated. A great late night activity for me and my girlfriend when we couldn't decide what to do.
Great place. Simple no fuss bar. They have a good selection of beers. I always have a nice time here.
Super cool. Had lots of fun during free play. The bartender was very nice. Only complaint was that it was so humid I was covered in sweat the entire time.
A quirky institution in Ft Collins! A wonderful variety of old and new machines with an owner who cares for each and every one of them, and every person who walks in the place ready for pinball mania!
Not only is this one of the BEST pinball locations in Colorado, but it has recently been expanded. Whether you're a serious pinball player looking for consistently updated and pristine tables or if you're just looking to have a good time with the family, do NOT miss the Pinball Jones.
So much fun, kids and Adults can play arcade and pinball games. I especially enjoy Medieval Madness. Good selection of local beers. Friendly owners and employees.
Awesome! Brought back memories! I played street fighter II and Adam's Family pinball. Best selling pinball game ever! Had a great time will most definitely go back..
Awesome place. Only 50 cents per play on most machines. They had lots of pinball tables, so much fun. They serve beer and cider. They give out popcorn at the bar.
This is my favorite place to go in Ft Collins! I always spend a few hours playing pinball here when I'm in town. I also love the craft brew options they serve.
Lots of fun for a fun back to school kinda night playing old games and challenging one another to beat your score. People are great. Need some machine mixed but other than that a place worth going and seeing.
Super fun! Glad I found it on a Monday!
Good fun for the whole family in the afternoon, and a bar in the evening. They have some favorite pinball machines there, like Medieval Madness.
Really awesome place! So many different games to choose from, and I loved the air hockey especially. Kinda felt like I was transported back in time a bit. Totally worth visiting!!
This place is so cool!! Free play Mondays with a 5$ cover charge lots of pinball machines I had a blast and $2 beer special on Monday!
Great late night fun! Can get a little muggy on humid/busy nights. There are plenty of places where you can get a beer and play one pinball machine, but this is the only place where you can get a beer and play 10 different ones!
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
