Customer Reviews

Super awesome place with a bunch of retro games. Great for adults and kids! Serves food and alcohol for the adults; games are all super cheap and some are even free to play and the owner Matt is a great guy with a heart of gold!! 10/10 would recommend!

Great place to take the kids, and grab a beer. Some games are free, most no more than a couple quarters. Fast, friendly service. I got one mixed drink, which was good. Nice canned, craft beer selection. Good vibes. If they had a bit more to offer in regards to food menu, I'd be a 5 plus. For Martinsburg, solid, solid 5, just eat beforehand.

Fun atmosphere Good staff Reasonable prices Beverages for the adults, food and games for the kids, and a decent stage for bands. *If you are in a band, always remember to bring extension cords and surge protection power strips for equipment if you are playing here. Also, the performance layout is a bit cumbersome and may take some thought when laying out merch locations for shows.

Great day out as a date or with the family. Atmosphere is old school, music is killer, and didn't even get me started on the vet selection. Top. Notch. Fun.

Absolutely the best arcade I've ever visited. No gambling-adjacent games, no overpriced play costs, and a clear labor of love. Free plays on many machines, more beers on tap and in the fridge than most actual bars, and a small but solid menu. Pool, ping pong, darts round out the extensive collection of pinball machines and classic arcade games and beat-em-ups. If you want to learn everything about the machine you're playing, just ask Matt and he'll be happy to walk you through the nuances. Greeted me and m

When you don't know what to do... go here! We come at least once a week if not more. Family friendly, regular bands, weekly tournaments and deals on food and drink. Owner Matt and staff are friendly and have a great thing going here. Tons of machines, pinball and arcade style - a few out of service but they get a lot of wear and tear and Tiltys is always doing their best to repair, replace and bring in new machines. They also have a pool table, ski ball, racing, shooters, and more. DJ on many nights. Seriou

Good place to go for a fun night out with friends, a date or even bring the family. They have a good variety of games and a good place to stretch your dollar. They also have axe throwing and billiard tables as well. For those over 21 they do have a bar with a good selection. They have great friendly and tentative staff! If there is an issue with a game they are quick to fix the issue or make things right by the customer. This place is a gem for the town of Martinsburg, WV.

One of the coolest hidden gems in Martinsburg. This locally owned business is a great place to play pinball or pool. Not to mention they have great beer and food! Oh and the best part? The prices! Whether it's a date night or an outing with the family, you won't be disappointed.

Definitely a pin ball place. Loads of machines plus two pool tables. Not much warmth in terms of atmosphere, but if you are focused on pinballs, I guess that doesn't matter. I was there for an open mic. Not many in the room and only a couple were paying attention to the music. Only three performers, so we got to do a lot of rounds. Host was friendly. They were breaking in a new sound system, so there was a bit of experimenting. Overall sound was pretty good. Didn't pay much attention to food or drinks, but

We had a pretty good time. Not really a food centric place but we had pizza and it was ok. Drinks were good. Two complaints I have: many of the machines were broken and will eat your quarters. Staff will refund you without question but it still is an issue as things overall felt rundown. They also charge a fee if you use a credit card. I consider all hidden fees as part of my tip but I really wish they wouldn't do this. Really is a fun place to hangout, just needs a little more care put in.

What an amazing place! If you love pinball definitely come by and check it out.

Bartender/owner/employees are highly attentive and informative. The venue itself is very welcoming, though could use more illumination in the parking lot. Parking was tight for a fairly inactive Wednesday evening. They need to have a backup lot. I was personally THRILLED to learn that they use aluminum solo cups AND THEN WASH THEM for reuse. Reduce, reuse, recycle! Selection of local brews also went straight to my heart. These people have the right values. I and my group will definitely return.

Hard to find, but don't let the confusing exterior and lack of parking deter you (look for the old bike shop awning). This place is PACKED with a variety of games. Tons of pinball both new and old, some lightgun games, 8 player Daytona, skeeball, pool, air hockey, and some beat-em-ups around the corner. No fee to get in, games are pay-per-play. Affordable food is available (but I did not sample). Had a great time playing games!

Matt is incredible and his love for the machines and his business shows through. He greeted us (65, 28 and 26 yo) and throughly explained the set up. Large selection of craft beers, mixed drinks and sodas. About a half dozen machines were on free play with many others at 50 cents. Clean and neat. It's not a Chucky Cheese. Will definitely spread the word and tell my friends. Great place for casual after work gatherings.

What a treat! The children from The Boys & Girls Club of the Eastern Panhandle - Jefferson County Club had the most amazing time this afternoon. Matt ensured that everyone in our group had an optimal experience and opened up for us outside of normal operating hours to ensure our kids were safely monitored. Tilty?s was the perfect space for us to supervise safely while still ensuring that fun was the most important part of the visit. The customer service and kindness that Matt extended to us was top notch! W

Friendly & welcoming little spot in Martinsburg. Lots of cool pinball machines and arcade games. The drinks are cold and there's just enough room to mingle with folks in between games. Looking forward to the next visit!

First time visit. Pinball tournament going on. Fun for a family. Adult beverages and a live band plays there but not sure what night. They also have a DJ. Friendly place to hang out. Plenty of parking and easy to find. I will definitely return.

Super cool place! A lot of games to play and really good craft beers. Very friendly and welcoming place. Went for a concert to see a local band that's also one of my favorites, KOLUNA????

Words cannot describe how epic and beautiful this place is. Theirs magic in every pinball machine. Everyone is kind and caring for one another. An there all so very sweet. I cant believe the music to the pool to the arcade machines from my 90s childhood. Take me back nirvana. Their great tournaments, poetry slams, epic live events. You name it. This place has it. Come compete with the tri state elite best of the best pin ball players. Put your money where your mouth is and get ready to jam. There is a pin

Took the family up here yesterday evening to check it out and had an absolute blast. Kids loved the lost world game, air hockey, skeeball and couldn't stop winning plush prizes on the claw machines. We got some food for the kids, a fantastic cold beverage for myself, and played for about an hour and a half, for less then half of what we normally spend out if we drive up to Hagerstown or something comparable. Definitely will be back to explore it as a fun affordable date night option with the wife. Looking f

Lots of cool pinball machines and arcade games. Pool tables as well. Fun shows and events. Owners and staff are all very nice folks.

I didnt get to stick around long, so no drinking for me, but holy crap! The place is absokutely unbelievable. Most the arcade machines alone shocked me. You dont see the games they have just anywhere. A very rare, retro collection. And the pinball machines were very good as well. Would love to go back with friends for some drinks and hang out again

I was here about 6 months ago with two 90 year Olds mother/her friend. We drank a beer at a table, and the staff came over and made them feel at home. Came back in tonight with other family members...they were blown away. Keep up the great work.

Lot's of pin ball machines live entertainment on Thursday night two pool tables the staff were really friendly and they have food and drinks ??

We came in tonight after dinner to check it out. The owner met us at the door and we instantly connected! He's a great guy! The staff really values and cares about everyone enjoying their time there! They have a great drink selection, food , and obviously lots of great games including an upstairs area for ping pong and darts! My wife and son Slade had the best time there tonight and HIGHLY recommend this place to everyone! On the way home I told my wife I want my birthday party here this year so can't wa

Great selection of beers, music, and arcade entertainment! Nice selection of old and new pinball and cabinet arcade machines. Topped off with friendly staff make for an easygoing night of nostalgic joy.

This Arcade is awesome! Definitely a great place for pins and classic arcade games. The owner Matt is a great guy and very knowledgeable with all of the machines. All the prices are very reasonable and this is a perfect place to zone out and have a great time. I'm glad to have this place close to me.

Awesome spot for adults and kids alike! Love that they have Busch Light...nice touch. Also brand new pinball games that were just released have been added. Highly recommended.

I really wanted to like this place, but if you're going to bill yourself as an arcade, you should at least have games that work. When I visited, four out of the five video games I tried to play didn't work properly. Missile Command had a broken trackball, Centipede had a broken fire button, Galaxian's screen had glitches all over it and looked like it was on its last legs and Frogger just took my money and didn't work at all. At least Donkey Kong worked well. Oh, and if you like playing Pac-Man or Galag

We have been to this establishment multiple times and it is fantastic every single time. The staff is very quaint and quick. It's so much fun!

Great arcade for nostalgic pinball machines and some video games. Pool table, air hockey and skee ball. Bar and food options. Jukebox also.

Awesome place! The owner was super nice.

What a fun place with free plays, bar and food! Such a fun place! And very reasonable!

Amazing atmosphere. Best bar cade I think I've ever been to. Has more of a family feel, but also have adult oriented fun with the classic games and wonderful beer and spirit selection. 10/10 will always recommend. Best place you can find yourself spending your time in all of WV

Awesome pinball machines and surprisingly great music. Worth the cover all day!

My husband and I had a blast! Next time we are definitely bringing the kids they'll love it. We went during the day and three hours passed by quickly. They have free play games and the ones you pay for aren't expensive at all. The people there are really nice. If I could give them ten stars I definitely would

The owner Matt is very nice and helped me so much the night me and my daughter had a girl's night out along with his other employees who where very nice and made sure you where taken care of

I recently visited Tilty McFlipperz Pinball Bar, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The drinks were top-notch, with a wide variety of craft cocktails and local brews that perfectly complemented the lively atmosphere. The highlight of the evening was definitely the pinball machines, which provided endless fun and excitement for both beginners and seasoned players alike. Chris, the bartender, had a friendly demeanor and impressive mixology skills. He went above and beyond to ensure everyone had a

This place is the ? bomb?, plenty of pinballs, great IPAs , all kinds of snacks

I came in with my son and husband tonight, we had a huge blast! Brandi and Matt were so sweet and friendly ?? they were helpful bc it was our first time and Matt even helped point out free games he thought my son would like based off of his current play. Just overall an awesome experience! We have been to other arcade places before but this had such a laid back and family friendly environment we really liked. We will definitely be coming back many times, especially with being so close to home. Thanks for op

Tilty McFlipperz is an absolute gem of a pub! From the moment you walk in, the welcoming atmosphere envelops you, making you feel right at home. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and easy to talk to, always ready with a smile and a helpful suggestion. One of the standout features of Tilty McFlipperz is the crowd it attracts - a positive and vibrant mix of people that adds to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a regular or a first-timer, you'll find yourself among great company. The s

We had the BEST TIME at Tilty McFlippers where we celebrated our sons 6th birthday party! This is the coooolest place that everyone needs to go check out. There are so many fun games, both kids and adults all had a BLAST. They have a wonderful selection of drinks, local beers tasty ciders and a ton of things for the kids to choose from too. The best part though is the owner Matt, he's the kindest most sweet man who pours his heart into his business and it really shows. He made sure everyone was having a nic

Planned to make a quick pit stop on our way through town, ended up staying for 5 hours. Really fun time. Lots of pinball and arcade games, good craft beer draft selection, darts, ping pong, snacks, music, friendly people, super friendly owner. Felt totally at home here and looking forward to finding a reason to pass through town again!

Cheap bar food, wide selection of drinks, and a good collection of retro and modern pinball/arcade machines.

Went in for the 1st time last night. Had a ball..my son and I were surprised by all the free play options. Juke box a wonderful addition. Pool tables seemed to roll very true. Staff was friendly and right on top of you at the bar. At one point had to wedge in between people on stools and was served almost immediately. Definitely a place we need to support as a community and make sure they stick around!!

Grateful for this place. just had my 16yr olds birthday party here and the extra mile in just little gestures like putting her favorite movie on the TV and walking around with her to see what games she wanted to have the free play credits loaded on. Not only showed exemplary customer service, it made her day feel extra special. This is a wonderful place to have a birthday party for all ages. Between the wide variety of games, the Jukebox, the tv, food, and variety of beverages they truly have something fo

Awesome, yet affordable, place to have a good time with friends, family, or a significant other. The games are priced well, if they're not on freeplay which is even better! They have a wide selection of Pinball machines, a couple pool tables, axe throwing, SKI BALL(!!!), and a bunch of older arcade games as well. On top of all that, the staff and owner are very friendly! An absolute gem in our area that I can't recommend highly enough!

This place was very cool. Scott and Matt were awesome. They were fun and personable and made it a great experience. We were visiting from N.J. looking for something to do and this place did not dissapoint. Some of the games were on free play which was cool. We played trivia and I even won a funko pop!

Came here for the first time with my toddler and husband for Father?s Day. We were pleasantly surprised that they have a bar inside! Most of the games were .50 cents and a few were free. We had a great time and didn't spend more than $10 on games.

My husband and I have been going to Tilty?s almost every weekend since they opened fall 2023 as well as having our baby shower here in March. Every time, we have been impressed by their commitment to going the extra mile and their outstanding customer service. The staff are friendly, thoughtful and welcome everybody with open arms. They are very considerate of the customers, making it easy to feel comfortable speaking up about any issues you may come across. They are family friendly as well; offering a mult

I really appreciate the free options. Things were nice and the music selection playing was a great mix of everything. There's also lots of drink options for those who go for that. I had a Coke. The staff are chill and ready to help if needed.

Tilty McFlipperz is a fun combination of beer, arcade, and pinball! They have a variety of beers on tap and a cooler full of craft beer. They also offer pizza and other food. The drafts are a good deal, generally from $5-$8. The proprietor is SUPER friendly. He took time to describe the beers on tap and tell us which games were on free play. The arcade games range from $.50 to $1, with a handful on free play. They have a bank of eight linked car racing games so that you can compete directly with your frie

Amazing Staff! Wonderful atmosphere, fun for the whole family or a night out for friends! Great prices, HUGE selection of drinks and games galore!

Hands down one of the BEST family owned arcades out there. With live music, amazing food, and delicious hand crafted beer you can't go wrong. Love this place and highly recommend!

This place is Fantastic. They have all the Retro games I love playing like Donkey Kong, Missle Command, Frogger. Lots of the games have FREE PLAY so you can have a great time and not break your wallet. They have Ping Pong upstairs with plenty of space. They have Real Darts the pointy kind. Lots of cool Pinball machines some with free play. They serve Pizza ?? any kind of drink you can think of. They have the 50 year collectors edition "The Godfather" Pinball machine. Wow. 2 clean bathrooms speedball, B

I went to this awesome arcade tonight! They have lots of different types of games. I had $20 to spend and I felt like I played every game in there and it still had money left over. Every reasonable prices and great service! I will be coming back soon!

Love this place and the atmosphere, staff is always friendly and everything is fairly priced you can tell the owner Matt tries his hardest to make sure everyone enjoys their time there and any issues he's always willing to address. Brought some friends there for a 2nd time and everyone had a good time. Here for the ride and can't wait to see more from here. :)

Great place to be. I imagine birthday parties are even better. I'm happy martinsburg put something fun in the nearby downtown area. It's enjoyable to be here. I always enjoy setting high scores.

We went here to check it out and we had a amazing time! Retro games, quality food, and top tier customer service! This is a great place for the whole family to have a great time for a low price! The owners were amazing people and so easy to talk to more then happy to help out with anything that wasnt working right. I will be more then happy to come back here again! Thank you so much for the wonderful night

I was looking for something for 2 teen boys to do in this area, and since our choices are SO VERY LIMITED, this was a nice change. We were a bit disappointed when the ax throwing wasn't there anymore, but they have arcade games, mostly pinball machines, pool, a bar, and live music.

Great family fun. I wish they had more of a food selection, though. The menu is extremely limited.

Place is a wonderful place amazing staff great games child friendly food fun in a band

Fun local spot for games and a great craft beer selection. The owner and his wife are very friendly and excited about the business. Fun for adults and kids

Awesome people, awesome place to hang out and just chill with friends or by yourself. It's a nice inviting environment and they are so quick to help with anything. Definitely coming back!

Great atmosphere. Wonderful owner. Food price very reasonable. So glad he picked Martinsburg for a wholesome place for young and "older " alike.

Very cool! It was definitely a laid back atmosphere where anyone old and young can have fun, and afford it to boot.

This place is truly a wonderful place for the whole family to come and enjoy a wonderful evening there are fun games for the kids starting at .25 for pinball machines and $25 for half an hour of ax throwing a wide selection of craft beers the owners and managers are extremely kind and friendly Matt has a upbeat exciting personality and his wife can make some delicious strong drinks ??

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”
