It was okay, the only thing I didnt like is it a million of the same game or similar and outside of that there were a few fun arcade games but not a ton. I liked the two free beers! The customer service was GREAT which is why Im giving it a 4 instead of 3. One last thing, a lot of people werent wearing their masks and I didnt see score personnel wiping down seats to like the car games or wiping the game buttons etc. As someone who knows some One who died from COVID after going to one place where everyone seemed fine so some stopped wearing masks, I just felt a little unease. But aside from that id give it a 3/5 overall, 2.5 for game selection, 3 for game prices, 5 for customer service which I feel was so good that I give them over all a 4!

We absolutely loved it!! All the effects in all the games were amazing, the variety of all the games between old and new games was fantastic and the staff was really nice and polite. The game prices are a little high, but we will definitely be back with the rest of the family!!

Very cool place to play games and have fun. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Felt welcome and valued. Happy to have gone here.

Took my friends niece for her birthday even though she was the only child in the whole place, full of grown-ups playing games. She had a blast though they have a lot of great games including old school games. The staff was pretty cool and they helped me out with a stool so that she could see some of the taller games. All three of us had a blast and it was pretty easy with the pinballz card. Will definitely be going back again.

Fantastic place for the whole family!! Great and fun environment with a little bit of the old school and new school games. There is everything for the whole family and more. We will definitely be back.

Out of all of out trip to Austin this is and will probably always be the highlight. I absolutely love this place for all the retro gaming and the newer ones too. Its BYOB so thats a big plus. Everyone here is friendly and makes sure everyone is having a great time. This is a must go to for anyone who likes arcade games and fun.

Enjoyed most the games, I spent about $60.00 and was there about 45 minutes to play mostly the prize winning/ticket games and yes i know its pretty much games of skill and odds, however I can usually break a thousand or more tickets. Today not so much...I earned roughly 400 tickets (not complaining even though it looks like it lol). Basically i should have brought a lot more money, oh well thats arcade gaming life. The place is fun and I did have fun so that is what counts I guess, and I still have the game card with most of the tickets on it so I will be back for more.

My first time and boy was it fun. My kids had fun but I really enjoyed that it was BYOB but they gave out 2 free drinks. Very awesome people.

It has more arcade games than the Buda Pinballz, but does not have the bar and restaurant section. It is BYOB and has a food truck. We went for the escape room and it is pretty interesting and challenging w/ good props. We got the groupon so the escape room was about $36 dollars for 2 people! Which was definitely more affordable than others in the city.

Great place for families to have fun and celebrate Joann Jeskes baby shower. Love this place.

Always a good time when we go here. A blast from the past. Even better knowing I beat my brother on a racing game. It took 15 years but I did it

Fun place. Lots n lots of games, even old school, space invaders, pac man etc

Bought a coupon on Groupon which I had issues with when I got there, didn’t appreciate the lady at the front desk trying to give me less than what the coupon stated and adding other redemption conditions which weren’t in the coupon. I’m glad we finally got it sorted out and we were able to get everything we had paid for. That’s why they lost a star. The other lady that helped us get set up on the go karts and lazer tag was friendly. Our family had a great time and we’ll be back again. The go karts aren’t very fast which I don’t mind because the impact of one hitting you at the speed they go at really hurts. They do have a no bumping rule but sometimes sh** happens.

Super cool to see all the pinball machines but its a shame they charge around $1.50 per machine! Most arcades I have been to have kept the 25 cent charge. Seems a little extreme

A place for all ages! I grew up playing pinball on the computer. Brings back memories. They have the many versions of the pinball machines. You will need tokens to use them.

Honestly? This place... kind of isn’t that great. The selection of old school arcade games is average. And what I really didn’t like is the change machine. If you insert a dollar you should get four tokens or quarters right? Nope their exchange rate is $1 = 3 tokens for the old school (quarter) arcade games. On top of that, the old school arcade games that should be 25¢ or 50¢ are between 75¢ and $1.50. So if you’re going here expecting an old school arcade feel and what should be “normal” prices, look elsewhere. In a way to me it seemed they are double dipping. Terrible exchange rate on the dollar and then the old school arcade games are over priced. Some of them have 50¢ listed on the quarter insert area, however, some have labels that say “require 3 tokens”. And going back to the exchange rate, $1 = 3 tokens. So in way some of the older arcade games are double the price of what they should be or were INTENDED to be. Don’t get me wrong the place is fun, and there’s a lot offered, but the way they are doing the old school arcade games isn’t cool in my opinion. I’ve been to arcades where the old school games are exactly how much they are listed on the quarter insert area (25 to 50 cents per play) AND they work on quarters, not tokens. Honestly I would look elsewhere if you’re wanting fair arcade prices and to use quarters, the way old school arcade games were meant to be played.

This place is friggin AH-MAZING!!!! Great atmosphere for all, clean areas and the best part the actual fact that they have the Real Old-School arcade games from the 80s from Galaga to Qubrt to the more common modern games great for kids 5 and up. And in regards to the Pinball Machines they have plenty!!! With all the favorite themes from Addams Family to The Hobbit etc. Friends, myself and family were over the moon and couldnt stop playing and the staff was so friendly too! Worth the drive, would be more than willing to come back!! BUT come with plenty of savings Lolz

MY FAVORITE GO TO PLACE TO BE A KID AAAAND AT 7PM TOO CLOSE FREEE BEER...WAT!! YES

Always love going here to play some games while we byob

I wish they would serve strawberry frozen daiquiri like the other Pinbalz!

Lots of fun, staff is great. Great place to go have fun.

Ah, the Original Pinballz! We love this place! Weve been coming here for almost 6 years now and still love it! Weve always have great fun! We have our kiddos parties here quite a bit as well and the staff is always helpful, courteous, and the overall service is exceptional! Also, the price is GREAT! Weve had parties at other venues and the quality and price pale in comparison to Pinballz in my personal opinion. Our party hostess today was amazing as they typically are. From the moment we arrived, she had everything set up and ready to go.I also love that this location is BYOB after a certain time and is adults only at that time also. Used to be 10pm but be sure you check before you go. Its a great time for the adults to have some arcade fun!

Great place for families to have fun and celebrate Joann Jeskes baby shower. Love this place.

Not crowded and kept clean. I love that they are BYOB.

Super cool small spot with great games. Love that it is BYOB. Been coming here for years.

Great way to pass the time! I think this place is perfect for gamers as well as parents wanting to upgrade from. Chucky cheese :) (they have a party room in the back)

Most of the games are pretty awesome. Some need repair. Great variety of pinball and newer games. If taking children, try not to go too late, they do allow alcohol and some adults cant handle themselves as well as others. All in all, pretty fun place, would go again to fulfill pinball craving

It was outstanding its like a blast from the past yet blasting right into tomorrow dude it was outstanding great job guys. I mean my smile never left totally good time. If u havent been go. If u have u know what Im talking about.

Loved it , theyve upgraded alot .

Awesome place with a variety of games. The pinball machines were awesome! Highly recommend!

Twas an excellent arcade! Was the last thing me and some members of my family did before leaving Austin for home. The personnel was very friendly and courteous, the place was super clean, games were priced somewhat fairly and prizes for redemption seemed somewhat universal for arcades. We initially planned on only being there an hour (midnight to 1am) because we had to leave for New Mexico the next morning but we had so much fun we ended up staying until closing time at 2am.Definitely recommend!

Went here last weekend iy was pretty cool and a fun way to kill some time Ill probably use this place for a first date or something

We spent over $100 playing games, they wouldnt give my little brother a $15 prize after gathering tickets all day. I understand you need profit, but you have to be kind to your customers

Lots of games and definitely a place you could have a fun afternoon or evening at.I got the personal pizza and wasn’t a huge fan. It wasn’t that good, and took a long time to come out. The full size pizza looked much better and tastier.

Fun place to be, adults can bring a beer but the pinball games are great and even have arcade and ticket games for the kids. Staff are always nice and helpful. A great place to hangout with family or friends.

This place is awesome! Got kids and grown ups! Lots of pinball games and a variety of themes on them. They have lots of deals for events and couples and parties. For Valentines day they had a deal for 30$ you get a large pizza, one drink and a 20$ game card. The deals are updated so keep checking before going out. Parking is a hassle tho so might have to come early or drive around a bit before getting a spot. If not take an Uber or Lyft. For sure coming back with my friends again.

Old school place ( in a good a bad meaning). Sometimes full of very small kids, running and screaming. But if you happened to go there while not so crowded with kids, you can end up having a really good time.

Always a good time! Their game selection is great, always keeping new games coming in and some classic ones as well. Good place to have a bday party as well. Games are reasonably priced to play. This location is byob as well.

One of the best date i have been on! They had all sorts of pinball game, tons of ways to win cheap stuff with tickets, and BYOB.Spent majority of time at Space Invaders and won a pink glow in the dark fidget spinner

The original. Who doesnt love BYOB policies and enough actual pinball puffiness to keep you occupied all night? Its cozy, fun, relaxed, friendly, and extremely retro. The only arcade that still *feels* like an arcade.

Original Pinballz location. BYOB. Excellent selection of classic and contemporary arcade games. Whats not to love? Perfect for family outings, date nights, and/or private parties. Cannot recommend strongly enough!

It was sooo fun! Im definitely going back again. Im so glad places like these are still alive. I may not have completely grown up with pinball machines and all the old games but its never too late to experience them.

Favorite hangout spot! Great assortment of arcade games both modern and retro. Super chill vibes - you can easily find a dark alcove to hang out and play your favorite game. They brought in a whole bunch of new machines recently and have brought their offering to the next tier. Definitely recommend if you’re in town. This location caters to more of an adult age group (they even have adult nights), but check out their Lakeline location for more of a family friendly venue. It has go carts, laser tag, mini bowling and more.

I appreciate all three Pinballz locations but this one is still my favorite because they have so many pinball machines. There are usually about 100 and most of them are generally up and running and any games with issues are usually fixed by the next visit (and I go often). The staff are quick to resolve issues with any games if you bring them to their attention. BYOB, but just one bottle/can in at a time. The parking lot isnt far to retrieve your alcohol.

Didnt go there, drove by on the frontage so I guess Google thinks I stopped by. Regardless Ive been there years ago, cool place.

Absolutely love this place...... The coin pushers take most of my time

Went to celebrate our oldest sons birthday. Had a lot of fun. One of the games crashed and the agent was right there to fix it and even gave us a free round.

Great place. Overall very nice and filled with many pinball machines. Also has some new games and a birthday room. Just call if you have any more questions there staff is happy to help.

It was great,everybody wore mask and the place was clean.

One of my favorite places to go to with my friends. Has all of the classic pinball machines on the second floor(an incredible amount, too) as well as various other games on the first floor. Always have a great time.

Pinballz is a great place to hang out! Love the air hockey and friends really enjoyed the Pong game. However, it was pretty warm and needed AC, and my work ordered pizzas to be ready at 4:30pm for 30-45 people...the first pizza didnt come out until 4:45-4:50, and they added one every 5-10 min or so...which is awkward for co-workers to fight over. Also, the pizza wasnt worth the wait: the crust and sauce arent great. I recommend eating elsewhere first.PS. Their sign is too bright and should be taken down a couple of notches so people can drive by it in the dark without going night-blind.

Cool place with alot of old school pinball and arcade games... Nice Find!!

Love PinBallz BYOB and Great Arcade Games to choose from old school to newest Games.

Excellent collection of new and classic arcade games and pinball tables. Despite the sign on the token dispensers saying they are only good in classic pinball and arcade machines, most of those have been converted to use the charge card as well, so youll need to get that unless you want to play Hercules pinball or Typing of the Dead. Almost everything else has been converted.

TONS of fun! HUGE variety of games, both old and new. Helpful and friendly staff. WILL play again!

This place is Amazing! They cater to both Adults and children. This is me and my son’s favorite place to go to out of all the family fun places we have been to. Two floors of Gaming Machines, Arcades and Pinball Machines. You play game for tickets that when you’re done, you get to cash in for a large selection of prizes. Kids are allowed to be there up until 10 pm and then it is adults only. If you are looking for something to do with the kids or you’re looking for something different for a date night, I highly recommend Pinballz!

The designer drinks are amazing pretty nice place to just chill and destresx. Staff is pretty chill

Love this spot. Huge selection of games of all kinds. Food isnt the greatest but you can drink there.

Haven’t played Tron or Star Wars in decades. Haven’t seen an arcade this size in decades either. Amazing. My kids loved it too. Haven’t played pinball Black Knight 2000, Ninja Turtles, Gauntlet in decades. What a treat. My kids got a glimpse too.Cons- wish it was cheaper, but oh well. Also, at 10PM Sat night no one under 18 is allowed. That was annoying.

We enjoy a good old-fashioned fun

Gotta say the long hair guy working at the toys trade for tkts was so kind to my son today!Nice to see ppl with a heart!It makes up for the burger that didn’t smell very fresh and I couldn’t even eat it.

I hate the card system vs. the coins. Understand it may be easier for the establishment- but not a fan. Makes it harder to gauge what the individual games cost- some of them are way too much per play imho.Otherwise- love the pinball games and variety.

Not to many games at this location. The only game I enjoyed was connect 4 basketball. There was Pacman air hockey and a million pucks dropped onto the board. It was overwhelming.

Best original arcade in Austin. BYOB and a great place to chill with friends and go head to head on DDR or try your hand at classic pin ball games. My favorite part is the real tickets you get to cash in for prizes. Very nostalgic for us 90’s babies.

Our family loves Pinballz! Great selection of games for everyone... including classic pinball. Much more affordable than Dave and Busters. Check them out.

Always a great spot. I enjoy video games and my 9 year old son does as well so either by myself or with the dude its a good spot to stop by. Might want to bring a couple bucks but way worth it. Those pinballs are always fun

An absolute must go to if you are a patron of the arts of classic arcade gaming and anything pinballs. This place is chocked full of an astounding collection of pinball tables from some real old classics to super rare ones like baby pack man. They also have an amazing selection of classic arcade machines like an original dragons lair. As an added bonus some of there machines are even purchasable! Definitely will be coming back here every time I visit Austin

Amazing collection of pinball and classic video games from every era. All the best are here!

Had an awesome time. Im from Dallas so wanted to see the arcade scene in ATown.. we have several awesome joints on DTown.I loved the selection of arcade machines and pins.. wow.Other reviews mention procey.. I have to agree, but theyre expensive to keep running.They have a wide range of games from classics to new.

This was a great arcade. So much variety and they use an awesome food truck for food. Had a great time!!

Really good variety! Fun overall game! Good for a date night/ rainy day!

This place is super tired and old. They have some cool machines for sure. It was full of kids (12-16). You have to buy a card, which you cannot get money off after. No booze for adults, but I guess it seems to be BYOB, we were not aware. Wasnt the most fun, but it was fine.

Checked this out with a friend while I was in town. It was definitely fun to hit for the nostalgia factor with the old arcade games that I grew up playing at the arcade in the mall. Its a nice alternative to the extremely expensive Dave and Busters. My only complaint was the token system. The tokens are 3 to $1 and its 2 tokens for one play at an old arcade game that used to be a quarter.

Always a fun time. Not sure who ends up playing the most games. Me or my son. Either way, we all win!

Loads of new and old pinball and arcade games. This location has no bar, so BYOB. Most games are 3 tokens (75¢), some newer titles are more.They have some unique pinball machines like, Hercules the largest pinball, and a 2-3 layer pinball.Fun night out. Great atmosphere and friendly staff!

They have the classics and the hard to find ones as well. Great arcade!

Friendly staff, decent amount of games. The seating area is not very comfortable though.

They cant follow the governors orders in the midst of a pandemic. They dont care about their customers or employees. I will never patrionize this company again

What a fun place! So many pinball machines and old & new arcade games! We came for the Noon Years Eve party for my 6 & 9 year olds and everyone had a blast! The staff were very friendly and the place is very clean. We will be back!

A most awesome way to spend your time....playing vintage video games and rocking in pinball heaven!The hours go by in a blur of electronic ecstasy.....this place rules!!!

An incredible place full of classic and unique pinball machines. Also have lots of current gems. Definitely worth visiting!

Classic old school arcade feel with an insane amount of pinball machines

It never gets oldA little for all generations me I am a street fighter Mortal kombat guy and I got that... Pimbals, tons of it... Just good. Space may feel a little small but the fun is there

One of the true arcades left. Has a TON of classic arcade cabinets from Centipede to Turtles In Time. Can use either a card or coins, so I recommend a bit of both. Absolutely awesome selection of arcade machines from the 70s onward. Has a classic arcade feel (think of Tron). A great way to spend a night and a ton of quarters.

Hands down best arcade Ive ever been to. Amazing selection of pinball games (old and new), retro and current games and prize games. Im addicted to Pinballz!

Overwhelming collection of pinball machines. Lots of arcade games. A good way to waste a little time having fun.

To the owners thank you for keeping my childhood alive and not just a distant memory. This place is a true arcade with games of all types and I real amounts of pinball machines. If you want to go to a true arcade then this is it. There are a few other good places too but none have the variety offered here.

Very cool place, lots do do from pinball(of course) to skee ball and dance revolution.

Such a great variety of games and prizes. Staff is incredibly nice. Love bringing my niece and nephew here for a special day out together.

Great family hangout. One of the few places to take your kids and have a pint or 2 without dirty looks.

Expensive as all Hell but worth it, really. This place is hilarious and weird. Definitely BYOB.

This place is really cool. Lots of pinball machines to choose from. Better to go at night when it turns into 18+

Had a great time, a lot of pinball machines, it was really hot. Got to drink liquor from my trunk. It was hot from the many mouth breathers. No tickets for skeeball booooooooo.

The reason this is a three-star reviews because I feel some of the games are a little overpriced. It was a dollar to play a pinball game once and I feel like that is too much. Also all of the crane games are programmed to not give a lot of strength to the crane. Meaning that when you try to get something it wont be able to pick it up no matter how perfectly you lined it up. Those also cost a dollar.

Great rainy day activity. So many old school pinball games it will take you back to your childhood.

Had fun at the game room and going back

Being B.Y.OB is one of my favorite things about Pinballz Arcade. They can make room by repurposing the real estate that the dining area and ticket store take up, but thats my only complaint.

Heard bad things about this particular location but seemed fine to me. Lots of games, great overall arcade, take a look at BYOB rules before coming!

I love Pinballz for an afternoon of video game fun. Lots of old and new pinball machines to choose from. The going back and forth between coins and card was a little crazy, but I suspect they just couldnt make those old machines work with new technology. It took them a long time to figure out how to apply my coupon, but after that initial hiccup, everything was great.

Always a good time.
