Arcade · Parma
Pinball Planet carries on the legacy of Southland Lanes, which closed in 2024. Owners Chris and Brianna Weber relocated the collection to this Pearl Road location less than two miles from the original spot. The arcade hosts Cleveland Pinball League seasons, IFPA-sanctioned women's leagues, and monthly Stern Army tournaments.
Barcade · Ohio City
Pins Mechanical Co. / 16-Bit Bar + Arcade occupies a 29,000-square-foot entertainment complex in the former Daniel's Furniture building on West 25th Street. The pinball machines are grouped in a dedicated "Pinball Alley" section in the basement, separate from the free-play classic arcade games. Duckpin bowling and bocce ball round out the activities.
Barcade · Gordon Square
Superelectric Pinball Parlour started when art friends began collecting machines in their studio at 78th Street Studios. The corner shop on Detroit Avenue features machines ranging from 1950s electromechanicals to modern releases. A $6 cover gets unlimited play for the day.
Bar · Parma Heights
Game On Bar & Grill is a sports bar with autographed photos on the walls and a lineup of modern pinball machines alongside pool tables. The kitchen serves burgers, wings, and bar food.
Brewery · The Flats
Collision Bend Brewing Company sits on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in a renovated 1863 building that once served as a chandlery for merchant ships. The brewery added a pinball collection featuring modern Stern and Jersey Jack titles. Seating for 200 includes outdoor patio tables with river views.
Barcade · Lakewood
The Arcade on Detroit opened in April 2025 in the former Deagan's Kitchen space. The venue fills the void left when 16-Bit moved from Lakewood to Ohio City in 2021. Machines from Canton suppliers Angeli Stark Novelty and Mad Pinball rotate through the lineup.
Game store · Avon
Level Two Games combines a tabletop gaming shop with an arcade section. The store sells trading cards, retro video games, and board games, with pinball machines lining one side of the room. Magic: The Gathering and One Piece card game events run throughout the week.
Visitors looking for the most machines should head to Pinball Planet in Parma. Those wanting pinball with a meal have options at Collision Bend in the Flats or Game On in Parma Heights. Superelectric offers the closest thing to a classic pinball parlor atmosphere in the city proper.
