What a cool little spot in Hamilton. Plenty of pinball games to play. Little on the pricey side but still loads of fun. Great tap list and full bar. There are food trucks during certain times but cannot confirm this night. Conveniently located next to a parking garage with plenty of parking for a Saturday night.
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 dont check it out!
Lots of room for improvement.Only giving two stars because the games that did work were fun. A few machines ate my money. Then a staff member kicked me off a machine I just started playing for a tourney and didnt offer to give me a free play on another machine so lots of money wasted. Bathrooms could be cleaner. Not sure if Ill be back.
The Pinball Garage is a unique venue that delivers an unforgettable experience! Brisketology is a great option for bbq. The bar has something to offer for everyone that walks in. The games to play are a blast to paddle around in and there are new machines rotated in with frequency. Love this place!
Such a cool and fun place! Really happy to see such unique experiences come to Hamilton. I cant remember the name of the drink I had, but it was a house drink red soda type of thing and it was gooooood. It could potentially be dangerous also hahaha I will be coming back for sure next time Im in town!
We did an end of school friend celebration. I dont 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
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.
This place is so much fun! We stopped here while completing the craft and cocktail quest and had a great time. They have excellent drinks there and the games were so much fun. We felt like kids again, but with the added benefit of alcohol lol. The ladies working behind the bar were so nice and helpful and we felt very welcomed. We plan to come back soon.
Such a fun place! Very welcoming with very friendly staff. We loved all the pinball games and played over 2 hours with $10 of tokens. Great selection of beer and drinks. We were there when they were giving away free BBQ sandwiches and and they were amazing. There were all ages playing pinball and it was great seeing little kids and their parents enjoying themselves . This is such a unique place. We look forward to coming back!
Very nice staff and bartender there. Friendly and helpful. I only wish they opened sooner than 4pm. I enjoy going in there when its adults and not all kids running around. I like how they put tables between the pinball games where you can set things down, purse, drinks, etc. Looking forward to their getting their own menu and food instead of another pizza place. Wish they had the 80s arcade such as Asteroids Centipedes Space Invaders etc. Pin ball is fun..but gets somewhat boring after about three games so wish they were other games like Foosball and Air Hockey. Also wish they had an 80s jukebox to listen to music. The mixed drinks are fairly high priced. Not a good selection of good mixed drinks and they come in these tiny glasses. $6.00 seems a lot for a very tiny glass. Very fun place to go.
Pinball Garage has turned into one of Hamiltons new crown jewels. A great location just off High Street with ample parking.They have a well furnished bar with numerous local and domestic taps for beer and a long bar to enjoy them between playing pinball. The interior is well lit and clean, the staff are friendly, and it doesnt feel cramped.The pinball tables are all well maintained, clean and bright with just the right levels of sound for different machines to catch your attention.Machines are rotated on the regular to keep the experience interesting.I recommend this place for families and pinball enthusiasts, alike!
Big fan of the Pinball Garage, I’ve taken both my wife and my father on multiple occasions each and it’s been a fantastic time each visit. A short drive from Indy, the Garage is one of the finer pinball spots in the Midwest and well worth the couple hours on the road— the employees are great, the beer selection is top-notch, and the machines are always in great condition. I try to make the trip monthly, and I’ve yet to have a less than stellar time here!
This place is absolutely fantastic. We took our son who is almost four while we were traveling for his radiation. He had an absolute blast. Staff went out of their way to accommodate him and make him feel like the most special boy who had ever walked in the place. Its super family friendly, while still having a bar. Great mix of pins, with a ton of the brand new Stern tables, and a lot of your old favorites too. Everything was in great working order, and the place as well as the pins were super clean. I couldnt possibly say enough good things about this place. You must go if you are in the area.
My office recently relocated to Hamilton and I had the pleasure of discovering this adorable business today. The bartender was friendly and very knowledgeable, he also didnt hesitate to let me taste test a drink I was hesitant to try. The atmosphere is clean and whimsical, the drinks were delicious and the machines were way more fun than I anticipated. If you are afraid of 4 tokens per game, please dont be. My coworker and I were able to play the machines for over an hour on the $10/45 token option (not separately, we played with the same $10). My only request for improvement would be to add food as I could stay there for hours and make a night of it. I did see a gentleman eating at one point in time, but I was unsure if he was an employee on break or if I missed the food so it is probably my fault for not asking. I had an absolute blast and I hope to see this place thrive and expand. It was such a pleasant experience and I will be returning!
This place is awesome! Staff is great! Fast on responding on social media. We wanted to take the kids to check it out as we had never been in and when it came up it was later in the evening. So we reached out on Facebook and with in 15 mins we had received a response. Due to being later and being busy at the pinball garage we waited till the next day to go. It was our first time in, it will not be our last! The kids had a blast.Thanks pinball garage for a great experience!
Not a bad place to hang out. Alcohol is not a problem and it doesnt feel like a traditional bar with rowdy crowds. Would like to see better clean up of leftovers laying around so kids dont pick them up, but they are super quick to clean up spills and machines are always clean 💙 Absolutely love the new vintage games that are free!!!
I went yesterday for my first visit and will definitely be returning soon. It felt so good to go back in time and enjoy one of my favorite things as a child. I enjoyed many different pinball machines while there. Amazing how fast time passes when you are having fun and thinking about nothing but your flippers. :) Owner was very friendly and helpful. I even enjoyed a yummy cider while playing! Hope everyone takes the time to go and have fun as well.
Pinball garage has brought so much joy to Hamilton. Not only is it a fun family establishment but the owner and staff are incredibly kind, professional and truly care about your overall experience there and the community of Hamilton. This has quickly become my favorite place to go. Go check it out! You wont regret it. ❤
My husband and I live in the Charlotte, NC area. I’ve followed the Pinball Garage on social media since before they opened during COVID. I had a great time following their start-up. I told my husband that I wanted to go up for my birthday this March.We had a great time! Lots of great games to choose from. A killer selection of beers on tap. The owner knew we were coming since I message about a particular machine before I came and he made sure to have it on the floor when we got there. Brad was so nice an welcoming! You know he is an awesome family man by the way he interacts with everyone.We are super excited for Phase 2 so we can venture up for another visit!!
Our family of 5 went a few weeks ago for the first time and was very impressed with the cleanliness and how friendly the workers were. Our young kids didnt appreciate the games as much as my husband and I did but they had fun and definitely want to go back. Fun family day out or even date night. Will hopefully be going back soon!!!
This place is a pinball paradise!! Even with a scaled-back game selection during COVID, each game was absolutely one of my “gotta play” games. Literally every. Single. One. Brand new releases abounded (Guns N Roses, Hot Wheels, Rick & Morty, Avengers IQ), some top-of the line classics in pristine shape (Twilight Zone, Circus Voltaire, Harlem Globetrotters), and a super friendly crew. Sparkling clean, perfect COVID protective practices, and beer/liquor and snacks available. It is seriously a dream. Buy the Fanny Pack of Tokens, you are going to want to stay all day.
Pinball garage is great for adults and children. The staff members are all amazing. The owner Brad is an awesome guy, very out going and cares about his customers. They have a lot of great pinball machines not to mention some arcades. You cant go wrong visiting Pinball Garage. Great place, Great Beer, Great atmosphere....
This place is so much fun! The staff were great, excellent customer service! The games were awesome, and they had a good selectionto choose from. Its a very fun and friendly atmosphere! Had my daughters birthday party here and literally everyone had a blast. First kids party I have ever been to that the adults enjoyed themselves as much as the children did. The party package was also extremely reasonably priced for all that we got with it. I highly recommend this place for a party, or just a fun night out. I cant wait to go back!
Its always fun to visit on Saturday mornings. Every other Saturday we get to see some really cool cars at the cars and coffee meet organized by the owner. The staff are always super friendly and its a very unique concept playing pinball machines while having your favorite drink. They have a very good selection of beer drafts (including Root Beer!) and its totally kid friendly. They offer a good food menu via delivery next door so you dont have to leave to get a bite. Give this place a shot for something different...
Pinball Garage is great family friendly fun! The games on site are a collection of the best titles ever made. And they continue to buy new machines! The staff is beyond friendly and helpful. The food is great. I cant say enough, you need to visit for yourself. Keep up the great work!!!
My family and I were fortunate enough to go the opening weekend and were blown away by the place! Brad has really outdone himself by bringing to absolute best of the best pinball machines to the Pinball Garage! It was fun to see my children and all the kids that were there discover pinball for the first time! The staff were attentive to all of our needs and made our time there the best! I highly recommend the Pinball Garage to everyone and would give it 6 stars if that was possible!P.S. The draft root beer is an experience in and of itself!
The Pinball Garage is a fantastically friendly establishment that is fun for all ages. Adult beverages including many craft beers and whiskeys. It’s a Mecca of pinball nostalgia. The staff is very courteousness and I’ve always had a good time with every visit. Five stars is not enough to rate Pinball Garage. I give it 100 stars ⭐️ 🤩 ⭐️
Really Loved the Garage. and look forward to their expansion. Lots of new modern Pinballs. Nice full bar and refreshments food close. Good evening for a family. Being a old coot I honestly like the single field no ramp type pinballs but not many to chose from. Hopefully with the expansion theyll have maybe a 50 percent new, 25% 80s-2010 and 25% older than 80sLook forward to visiting many times. However my hours are more daytime. One day a week should be a Lunch hour 11-1 :)Keep on Rockn Pinball Garage.
Pinball garage is so much fun for serious pinballers and newbies! My daughter had never played pinball in her life and had a grand ole time playing all kinds of different games! The staff is amazing hey Bradley and we even got to see Santa having a drink before a gig. Plenty of space, great atmosphere and lots of games to play! We highly suggest pinball garage for your next fun outing!!

Great people, great beer, great location, clean / spotless location, car cruise days... do yourself a favor check out Pinball Garage and experience pinball the way it should be ! Support a great locally owned business. And Brad the owners beard is pretty incredible too - that’s just the icing on the cake. ; )

Place is super cool and super unique! Some incredible machines at this place that you can only find here. Theyre usually doing some sort of beer deal on certain days, they do a cars, coffee and brews on Saturday mornings, the employees are nice and the owner is a cool dude to talk with. Conveniently located in downtown Hamilton, with several other places to enjoy while youre in town. Hamilton isnt what it used to be, there are several places to go and enjoy but when youre in town make sure this place is on the list!
This place has only been open a couple of weeks and we have already been there 3 or 4 times. You wont find a better collection of newer and classic pinball machines anywhere else in the area! They have everything nicely spaced out for social distancing, etc. I cant recommend this place enough. Larger cities than Hamilton would kill to have a place like this, we should all be supporting this clean and family-friendly establishment.
Pinball Garage is an aboslute greta time, all the time! Awesome line-up of the latest pinball machines (many rare) and arcades games. Huge beer, drinks, frozen slushy and non-alcohol drinks to choose from. Clean and safe. Always family friendly. The staff is super rad!
No one in the facility wears masks. None of the games get wiped down , this place is a germ and virus breeding ground . I have been there twice and witnessed the same thing. Hope the health board gets a hold of this . We were hoping that this place would attract life to Hamilton , but have to say I am very disappointed in there lack of respect for the customers and the advice of medical and government agencys .

2022-07-01A unique bar that was originally a mechanic shop once but repurposed into a pin ball bar. Great for the young and old alike that love the tactile sensation of pinball gaming. Yes there is video and crane games too but this place is called Pinball for a reason. Now the bar is stocked they have some popular local beers as well as liquor. The adults will be as happy as the kids learning how to play the games they offer.

2022-01-22This 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

2021-07-27We 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!!

2022-01-25I was impressed with the location of this arcade. It was in downtown Hamilton. It was in a spacious building with lots of different pinball themes of the machines that appealed to any interest that you might have. The workers provided friendly service. After paying for four $10 cards for each of my family member, a worker approached me with replacement cards for unlimited play for three hours because of the Bengals special that they were running. It was the Saturday of the Bengals-Titans playoff game.We all had fun and look forward to our next time there.It was very family friendly with really good food!!!
