by [Colin Alsheimer](/author/colin) · August 12, 2024 · [Travel](/news/category/travel)

> Virginia Beach proper has limited dedicated pinball, but the broader Hampton Roads region delivers barcades, breweries, and game stores with solid lineups of modern Stern machines and classic titles.

The Hampton Roads metro stretches from Virginia Beach's oceanfront through Norfolk's urban core and out to the historic Williamsburg area. Pinball options within Virginia Beach city limits are sparse, but surrounding cities offer barcades, breweries, and game stores with collections ranging from modern Stern titles to classic electromechanicals.
