So much fun! Nice staff member gal. Wish there were more free arcade options. But $5 for a half hour is a deal for sure and we're so glad we came and this place exists. read more

Stumbled upon this place after eating Thanksgiving lunch. $5 for half an hour of free play. They have numerous pinball games (ranging from classic 60s to modern). There is also a pool table and a Street Fighter cocktail cabinet game. They also have a few beers on tap. Neat place to kill some time and bring back some memories. read more

The best $5 spent. 30 minutes to play ALLLLL the machines. They also serve beer ($8). Before heading out I noticed a Frogget and Ms PacMan (0.25 per play just like old times) by the bathrooms. And a pool table. This is such a cool spot and the service was excellent. read more

Wonderful staff and a very friendly sleepy dog . Had a lot of fun and recommend to anyone

This place is a gem. I paid only $5 for 30 minutes of unlimited play. I was planning to get a pinball machine at home but I don't need to anymore. My favorite machines were Deadpool, walking Dead, X-Men, and Star Wars. It's only $15 for all day play. What a deal! I'm definitely coming back. My son enjoyed it so much. read more

Had a great time here pinballing with my hubs. Lots of games, my favorite ended up being a vintage set up. Love that you can pay by the half hour or unlimited. And you can't beat the prices. $15 for unlimited! That's cheaper than a movie date. Check this place out, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. read more

Usually when my father comes from out of town to visit he wants to swing by old Sacramento. Not to often do things change, I think but most recently we noticed a sign for a new pinball arcade inside and so we were off to check it out. The guy at the front desk was super friendly and explained it all to us. We basically paid $5 each for thirty minutes of free play. At first my father thought it was silly but three minutes in and he was transformed into a kid again and was bouncing machine to machine like a pinball himself. We really had a blast playing all the different themed pinball machines. With some of my favorites being the X-men, Game of Thrones, Monopoly, and various others. Those thirty minutes flew by but we will for sure be back when in the area. They even have snacks & beer, an a billiard table. Didn't happen to see if they had darts though. read more

This is such a perfect environment for fun at any age. $5 a person gets you 30 minutes of pinball. It can be a bit loud inside because it is small, but bearing that in mind I would come in the early afternoons to avoid the noisier crowds. They serve some beers and other soft drinks. The hostess and attendants were very helpful and kind! read more

Such a cooling place. They use pay by time not by the play,which I've never seen before but love. All their machines work, a rarity in arcades. Beer as well. This is a perfect afternoon or date/hangout spot. I will be coming back every time I visit Sacramento. Keep up the great work! read more

My husband, toddler and I went to old Sacramento today , we walked past this arcade and our kid really wanted to go inside. $5 for 30 mins, $10 for an hour or $15 for all day! On top of being very nice, there were foldable step stools for anyone needing a little help with height. And the absolute sweetest shop pup, Corbin. We got to give pets and the owner gave us dog treats to give him. Honestly it was such a great time. We can't wait to go back! read more

Took the 10 year old nephew here for an hour. What a bargain at $10! He went nuts and absolutely loved it. A lot of us old timers smiling too. New games and classics. I've owned mechanical and electronic pinballs in the past and I appreciated the care and upkeep the machines got here. read more

Pinball machines are in great shape. Play all day or whatever your time limit is. A few beers on tap. Pool table in a side room. read more

We've been waiting for a place like this! My teenage son loves pinball and our family loves craft beer and supporting local businesses. We discovered the arcade while moseying around old town after lunch. We didn't have a ton of time so we opted for the 30 min for $5 option - which is a steal! They have a separate section with a pool table too. So happy we found this. read more

Awesome place, good prices for some good wholesome fun! It was so cool to be able to try out and play a lot of incredible pinball machines. I was so impressed with the variety and nice selection of machines. The place is clean and the staff is really nice. They also serve beer and have vending machines for snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. There are additional arcade games and also a pool table in the other room near the restrooms. My husband and I had a great time here. It was the perfect date night. So glad there is a fun place like this in Sac. Will definitely be back! read more

Super awesome place! They had really affordable pricing and they also hold a lot of events pretty occasionally! They are very welcoming and the vibe is really cool! I'd say if you had some free time this place is definitely somewhere to spend it at. read more

2nd trip in a month. Pin maps says 45 games. I didn't count, but this is probably pretty close. $15 for all day is a good enough deal. Especially if you want to try games you've never played before. My only complaint would be the number of broken games. There were 9 games down today, including 2 that were down when I came in a month ago. Otherwise, great place and glad to have it somewhat close to home. read more

This is the premier spot to play pinball in Sacramento. With 30 machines (and counting!) in pristine condition, this place is not to be missed by pinball pros and newbies alike. They have games from all eras and are all in excellent condition. The owner is on site and constantly working on machines to ensure they play like new. No quarters? No problem. There's a coin machine on site and the owner even offered to take Venmo in exchange for quarters. He will do what it takes to make sure the most people have access to this community. As of now they do not have food and drink on site but that also means more room for more pinball and more fun for all ages. We came back two nights in a row when we were in town for a wedding and were so excited to bring family back the second night. Everyone had a great time and got such a positive experience with one of our favorite pastimes. I can't wait to see what the future holds for Capital Pinball Parlor because it's going to be bright. read more

This place is awesome! Upon arrival, I was impressed by the many pinball machines and lively atmosphere. The owner was friendly and the costs were impressively low. My girlfriend and I payed $10 bucks to each play for half an hour and we could've stayed all night! Overall, highly recommend if you want to play some pinball with a wide variety of machines to choose from. read more

The perfect, affordable activity for family and friends outing. We got a hour of games and regret it because we should've went with the unlimited option for only 5 more dollars! I recommend this spot for game lovers of all ages. Will be back! read more

We recently visited this establishment with our 2-year-old daughter & son, excited for a family-friendly outing. While we were there, my husband was helping our toddler play a pinball machine since she couldn't reach the button on her own. When she needed to use the restroom, I took her while he waited nearby. To our shock, when I returned, the owner & two other employees was publicly & VERY LOUDLY yelling at my husband in front of our children accusing him of being a thief simply for helping our daughter play a game because he didn't have a $5 wristband while he was helping her play the game. There was absolutely no reason for such hostility. No rules were broken, no theft occurred, and the way this was handled was completely uncalled for. We were deeply embarrassed, confused, and hurt not just for ourselves but for our 2 year daughter , and 8yr old son who witnessed it. We came for a wholesome, family-oriented experience and instead were treated with disrespect and aggression. I strongly urge families to think twice before visiting a place where basic kindness, communication, and respect are so lacking especially toward parents just trying to make a memory with their child. read more

So this place could perhaps be minimalist because it only offers pin ball machines but that gives it a special touch. Had fun going to the place, staff is cool , they have an atm on site in case you didn't bring cash and honestly just keeping the place dedicated to the machines gives it quality! I would recommend it!!!! read more

Awesome place to play Pinball, lots of new games and a few classics, stop by and check it out, they have tournaments and leagues! read more

I came in with two other people awhile ago to check out the place and play some pinball but when we talked with the owner it seemed like he didn't really want us there. He was very standoffish and kind of rude and gave us very short, curt answers when we asked him about the place. He was more interested in talking to people who I assume were his friends instead of bringing people in. We didn't feel welcomed at all and couldn't get any real answer about how their gameplay works so we left. We also noticed half of their pinball machines were closed off for just a select few and only half of them were lit up. Maybe it was just a once off and they are doing better now or maybe that's just how he runs things. read more

A nice find! A lot of pins are here in great shape; most are $1 a play but there are a few for less. Air conditioning and restrooms were a big plus. Lots of space. Looking forward to visiting again! read more

This is the kind of place you wish there were more of--and can't believe actually exists. Having lived in Sacramento for 30 years, I can confidently say this is the closest place to filling my local Blockbuster-shaped hole. If you love pinball, arcades, or simply want a dose of nostalgia, it's a fantastic spot to unwind. It even pulled my girlfriend into my new favorite hobby! The owner is incredibly kind and a true expert on all things pinball. I truly hope this place continues to grow and thrive for years to come. read more

Great spot. Lots of games and more to come. Games are clean. Very excited to see what this place looks like in 6 months. Very early stages but already looks great. This is my new spot for sure in old sac read more

Drove all the way from Roseville to play pinball with my son for a fun mom/son date. I hyped the place up only to arrive to a padlocked closed door during the posted open hours (on a Saturday!) Disappointed mom and son, and wasted time. read more

This place is awesome. Didn't know they made a John Wick pinball machine. Can't wait to go back.
