North Coast Pinball - Video arcade in Nehalem - 35995 N Hwy 101, USA

We were staying at the Nehalem River Inn and wandered into town for Riverside Fish n’ Chips. We kept walking and found this nostalgic gem! My guy and I definitely spent at least an hour here rivaling each other at pinball! Good fun!

What a cool, niche pinball arcade‽ And the owner / operator sincerely seemed like a good person. AND beer is available is you're of age. Would totally return and play for hours.

Would give 6 stars if possible. All of the best machines ever made, kept in immaculate condition, available to play at a bargain, and with a knowledgeable, friendly owner too. It's like if a car museum let you drive the collector cars and was happy to do so. Equally enjoyable for pinball nerds and newbies.

We were traveling through Nehalem this last weekend and were pleasantly surprised to see the North Coast Pinball sign. We immediately turned around and ended up spending a couple hours here. It ended up being the highlight of our trip. What a gem! I couldn't recommend North Coast Pinball enough. Their selection was great! Adams Family, Mars Attacks, Theater of Magic, plus many more. We will definitely be back.

Living in a small town on the coast, it’s not always easy to find a cool, fun place to have a birthday party for a kid indoors. I reached out to the owner while they were on a temporary shut down for repairs to see if they were up for a 6 year old’s birthday party the first weekend they’d be back open after a month. Will was so gracious and kind, gave me lots of different options and never made me feel like I was wasting his time. When we were there, he was excited and friendly, and just wanting us to have a good time! Which we all did! This is definitely our new spot to go for birthday parties, date night, and just a cold windy day (which there are a LOT of here) when we need to get out!

This place is great! Hosted our cast party and also is a great place to take your family! Love the pinball and also the other classic arcade games there as well! (Wish they had more!)

Wow! This is a hidden gem on the coast. I’ve been coming back for the monthly tournaments and having a blast. There is a huge variety of pinball games from old to brand new. The owner greets me every time I walk in the door. Not only is he super friendly, but he really cares about every detail of the experience. OUTSTANDING!!!

I had to stop in because I saw the pinball neon sign outside. The worker was so nice! He greeted us and said "I'm glad you're here" . Made me feel welcome! He explained that there was a tournament going on. Plenty of new machines and old. 5$ will get you far.
