About Pinball New York City

The game of pinball has a storied history in New York City. Once pinball was legalized in the late 70s, it saw a surge in popularity in the hey-day of the coin-op arcade. With the rise of Nintendo and other TV gaming systems, the arcade has largely become a thing of the past and the popularity of pinball has suffered. Yet pinball has not disappeared. Although there is only one manufacturer left, pinball machines continue to be made, and played.

In New York City bars there has been a pinball resurgence of late, and Pinball New York City was started to celebrate this. We have organized a co-ed team league that is FREE TO JOIN, we host parties and events, and our pinball locator will help you find all the pinball machines in NYC. Our goal is to pull quarters out of the pockets of casual and die hard gamers alike. So put down that joystick, step away from the internet, and come join us as we knock that little metal ball around while tossing back a few beers!
