Green Bay delivers more pinball than you might expect from a city known primarily for football. The metro area spreads machines across dedicated arcades, craft breweries, neighborhood bars, and entertainment venues—with options for families during the day and 21+ crowds at night.
The anchor of the scene sits just south in De Pere, where a massive free play arcade draws tournament players from across the country. Closer to downtown, barcades and breweries keep smaller but well-maintained collections, several hosting their own competitive leagues. Here's where to find pinball across the Green Bay metro.
| Venue | Area | Machines | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| District 82 Pinball | De Pere | 100+ | Free Play Arcade |
| Player 2 Arcade Bar | Downtown Green Bay | 15+ | Barcade |
| Titletown Brewing Company | Downtown Green Bay | 10+ | Brewery |
| Lumberjack Johnny's | Ashwaubenon | A few | Axe Throwing Bar |
| Cheesesteak Rebellion | South Broadway | A few | Restaurant |
| Simonet's Bar | Main Street | A few | Neighborhood Bar |
Barcade · Downtown Green Bay
Player 2 Arcade Bar occupies two floors of a downtown Green Bay building, filling the space with retro arcade cabinets and a rotating selection of modern pinball machines. The bar side serves craft beer and a full food menu including burgers and wings. Token-operated games run 25¢ for most cabinets, with pinball at two tokens per play.
Neighborhood tavern · Main Street
Simonet's Bar has operated as a family-owned tavern since 1917, now in its fourth generation. The game room in back houses pinball alongside other amusements. With 16+ craft beer taps and a no-sign entrance on Main Street, this is a locals' spot with genuine dive bar character.
Craft brewery · Downtown Green Bay
Titletown Brewing Company has brewed on-site since 1996, and the taproom now includes a dedicated pinball area with over a dozen machines. The brewery hosts monthly IFPA-sanctioned tournaments, typically on the third Wednesday or Thursday. A rooftop bar overlooks the Fox River, and food comes via rotating partnerships with local vendors.
Free play pinball arcade · De Pere
District 82 Pinball ranks among the largest pinball-focused arcades in the Midwest, with over 100 machines set to free play under a single admission fee. Located about 15 minutes from Lambeau Field in De Pere, the venue regularly hosts IFPA tournaments and draws competitive players from across the region. Machines stay in pristine, tournament-ready condition.
Axe throwing bar · Ashwaubenon
Lumberjack Johnny's pairs 14 axe throwing lanes with a game room featuring pinball machines. The family-owned venue maintains an "up north" cabin theme and serves smoked meats alongside 100+ beer and seltzer options. Combo deals with the adjacent Escape Room Wisconsin are available.
Restaurant with arcade · South Broadway
Cheesesteak Rebellion builds its identity around Star Wars memorabilia and Philly-style cheesesteaks, with a small arcade room in back. The pinball lineup leans toward modern licensed titles including Star Wars and Mandalorian machines. A seasonal patio area operates during warmer months.
Whether you're after a full day of free play or just a few games with your beer, Green Bay's pinball options cover the spectrum. Families can spend weekend afternoons at District 82, tournament players can chase WPPR points at multiple venues, and casual players can drop quarters at neighborhood spots throughout the metro.
