The Tampa Bay metro stretches along Florida's Gulf Coast, with pinball scattered across Tampa proper, St. Petersburg, and surrounding beach towns like Dunedin and Tarpon Springs. Most venues fall into two categories: craft beer spots with rotating lineups of modern machines, and one standout arcade museum north of the city offering dozens of games under one roof.
Pinball density varies by neighborhood. St. Petersburg claims several options along its Central Avenue corridor, while Tampa's Seminole Heights and north side each have dedicated spots. Beach-side players can find machines in Dunedin, and the largest single collection sits about 30 minutes north in Tarpon Springs.

Here's where to find pinball across the Tampa Bay metro.
Barcade · North Tampa
Lowry Parcade opened in 2016 as Tampa's first arcade-and-craft-beer bar. The venue combines rotating pinball machines with classic arcade cabinets, all set to quarter play. More than 20 craft beers rotate on tap, with Florida breweries well represented.
Bar · North St. Petersburg
The Potion Portal pairs pinball with pool, darts, skee-ball, and board games in a relaxed bar setting. The venue stocks craft beer and cider alongside its game room and hosts themed nights and free-play events throughout the week.
Barcade · Dunedin
Reboot Dunedin fills a neon-lit space with retro consoles, arcade cabinets, and modern pinball machines. Craft beers and pub-style food round out the late-night atmosphere in downtown Dunedin, a short drive from Clearwater Beach.
Brewery · Downtown St. Petersburg
Voodoo Brewing Co. occupies a two-story historic building in downtown St. Pete, with pinball machines in the upstairs game room. Award-winning house beers and elevated pub fare anchor the main floor, while the game room offers modern Stern titles.
Arcade brewery · Grand Central District, St. Petersburg
Right Around the Corner blends craft beer with retro arcade games, pool, and pinball along St. Pete's Central Avenue. The dog-friendly venue serves pizza alongside its rotating tap list and hosts community events.
Brewery · Seminole Heights, Tampa
Magnanimous Brewing pours from 24 rotating taps in its Seminole Heights taproom, where pinball machines share space with arcade games. The dog-friendly patio and regular pinball events make it a neighborhood gathering spot.
Arcade museum · Tarpon Springs
Replay Museum houses the largest pinball collection in the Tampa Bay area, with machines spanning multiple decades alongside vintage arcade cabinets. A single admission covers unlimited play for the day, and the venue welcomes all ages. Located in downtown Tarpon Springs, the museum sits near restaurants and the town's historic sponge docks.
Bar · Plant City
Firehouse 92 combines a neighborhood tavern atmosphere with pinball, pool tables, electronic bowling, and darts. Live music and karaoke fill the calendar, with food trucks parked outside on busy nights.
Tampa Bay's pinball options range from the museum-scale collection at Replay in Tarpon Springs to casual machines at neighborhood breweries. Players seeking dedicated pinball time should head north to Tarpon Springs, while those looking to combine craft beer with a few games have multiple options across Tampa and St. Petersburg.
