The Dreamiest Pinball Lounge You've Never Heard Of
The Dreamiest Pinball Lounge You've Never Heard Of
A few weeks ago when I was in Vegas I got to visit a new pinball spot! Step inside Utopia Pinball Lounge in historic downtown Boulder City, Nevada! Sisters Hava Brown (the Fun Fairy) and Bari Jo (the Dream Alchemist) give us a full tour of their 50s Atomic-themed lounge, which opened in February of 2026. We check out the 1941 building (an original Sears Roebuck order home), Bari Jo's in-progress pinball build "Wrath of Cthulhu," a live-streaming video wall powered by SDI cameras, the custom Adi Luna fortune-telling machine, and a lineup where every game has some history behind it, from Comet and Bride of Pinbot and more! Utopia is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Games are on free play and you buy time: - 45 minutes: $15 - 2 hours: $25 (includes fortune machine tokens) Check the calendar before you go: Tournaments are returning this fall. All skill levels and families are welcome! Their socials! Instagram: Facebook: Big thanks to Jake Danzig for the recommendation!
