# Where to Play Pinball in Salt Lake City: Arcades, Bars, and Breweries with Machines by [Colin Alsheimer](/author/colin) · November 5, 2024 · [Travel](/news/category/travel) > Salt Lake City spreads pinball across basement barcades, craft breweries, and family arcades from downtown to the suburbs. Whether you want cocktails or nearly nickel-priced games, the metro delivers. 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. ‍ Venue Area Machines Type [Nickel Mania (West Jordan)](/locations/nickel-mania-west-jordan) West Jordan 60+ Arcade [Quarters Arcade Bar](/locations/quarters-arcade-bar) Downtown 15+ Barcade [Quarters Arcade Bar (Sugarhouse)](/locations/quarters-arcade-bar-sugarhouse) Sugarhouse 15+ Barcade [Nickel Mania (Murray)](/locations/nickel-mania-murray) Murray 15+ Arcade [Kiitos Brewing](/locations/kiitos-brewing) Granary District 10+ Brewery [Arcade Galactic](/locations/arcade-galactic-salt-lake-city) West Valley City 10+ Arcade ‍ Here's where to find pinball across the Salt Lake City metro. ## Salt Lake City Bars with Pinball ### Quarters Arcade Bar **Barcade · Downtown** ![__wf_reserved_inherit](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/play-pinball-salt-lake-city/inline/695d9300b8dfc34f26c85e6e_6707098f5a83dca3e6b81220_quarters-arcade-bar-pinball-place-to-play.avif) [Quarters Arcade Bar](/locations/quarters-arcade-bar) occupies the basement of the historic New Grand Hotel, a space that once housed the Manhattan Club.
