Where to Play Pinball in Salt Lake City: Arcades, Bars, and Breweries with Machines

Where to Play Pinball in Salt Lake City: Arcades, Bars, and Breweries with Machines

Salt Lake City's pinball scene runs from downtown's bar district out through the suburban valleys. The metro hosts over 130 machines across six verified locations, split between 21+ barcades, a craft brewery, and family-friendly arcades.

Downtown and the Granary District serve the bar crowd with craft cocktails and local beer alongside competitive pinball leagues. The suburbs hold the volume—West Jordan alone houses Utah's largest collection at a family arcade where games still cost nickels.
