Where to Play Pinball in Memphis: Arcade Bars, Breweries, and Pubs with Machines
Pinball in the Memphis metro spreads across a few distinct venues. The largest collection sits just south of the city in Southaven, Mississippi, while downtown Memphis offers pinball alongside craft beer in the Edge District. A dedicated pinball pub near Crosstown is temporarily closed but expected to return.
The scene here leans toward arcade bars and breweries rather than standalone arcades. Players willing to cross the state line will find the deepest selection, while those staying in Memphis proper have a brewery option with a handful of machines.
