Frequently Asked Questions

What is the food and drink policy?

Drinks can be brought in, but please bring a covered container to keep it in. Do not set any drinks on the machines or merchandise shelves! We have pedestals spread around that you can use to set drinks.

We sell canned and bottled drinks and snack food from a vending machine. Prices range from $0.75 to $3.00. The selection always varies.

We do not have a place for you to sit and eat food, so please do not bring in your fast food that you picked up on the way. If you have small snack foods in your bag or purse, that's fine.

Please wash your hands before playing pinball!

Do you sell and/or fix pinball machines?

We are not a pinball sales company so the machines are not for sale. However, we may occasionally have an operator with a machine on site that is for sale. If so, the machine will usually be marked with their contact information. The sale would be handled through that person outside of The Flipper Room. For new Stern, JJP, and used games we recommend the Pinball Pirate.

We are not a pinball repair company either. For pinball repair we recommend Tilt Electronics or The Pinball Pirate.

Can I rent The Flipper Room for a party or bring a group?

The Flipper Room is not currently available for private event rentals. Please call ahead if you plan to bring groups out that are larger than 10-15 people (please note, we can not accommodate groups of more than 20 people while maintaining room for regular walk-in). We are a small facility and we would like to make sure we are prepared for your visit and/or do not already have other conflicting arrangements. Because we are a small facility it is important for groups to respect the quaint surroundings and the fact that other customers are here to enjoy their time as well. Remember, we are an art gallery with original, irreplaceable art on the walls and antique pinball machines that are very expensive to maintain.

Do you have a change machine and/or ATM?

We have a change machine on site that takes $1's, $5's, $10's, and $20's.

We do not have an ATM machine so bring bills or quarters.

Do you have step stools for kids?

You bet! We have a handful of step stools for the little pinballers that range in size. Bring the kids out.
