Thankfully, once inside LITT you would have no idea it used to be Lyle's except maybe for the shape of the bar. It's kind of amusing this is called LITT when it's so dark inside; yeah, I know they mean the other kind of lit! They have many choices for getting to that, local beers and other beverages on tap and I spotted some THC drinks that were not on the menu. The general darkness is perfect for the massive array of pinball machines (they take quarters!) and also sets off the Halloween decorations. The booths are also sparkly copper colored so that makes them stand out. Good quality bar food all around, most of our party got some kind of sandwich and fries, so I made sure to steal a fry which was nice and crisp. My healthier eating son thought they were a bit too salty, the others didn't notice. I got a half order of nachos which was plenty! It's probably better to share these no matter which size you get. Nice fresh toppings and just a mild sinus clearing effect. I finished them later that night, didn't quite go as far as licking the queso off the paper, but it crossed my mind. read more

We had the hot dogs, and actually they were pretty awesome! My boyfriend was like why would you get hot dogs?! And he was impressed with his, lol. Mine had sport peppers and was delicious! The gang shot tasted great I'd view it more as a drink than a shot. The mystery shot was fun and good. It was pink. I have not idea what was in it but that was a shot for sure vs the tang shot. I had a new drink called something about a mansion. It had gin in it and other components that I can't recall at the moment but it was very good and I had two. read more

All right. New location taking over from the old Liquor Lyle's. You ever come to this place? One of the best dive bar happy hour's in the WORLD. 2 for 1's ran from 9am-Noon, 3pm-6pm, & 9pm to midnight. Plus, if a Vikes game was on, it was 2 for 1's. Yes, you literally could have 9 hours of 2 for 1's on a Sunday. Ha! Ha! I wish I had pics of the government block cheese, saltine crackers, sardines, and the chicken wings that were dumped on the silver serving tray in the shape of that fryer basket. Legendary. But back to Litt. They kept a lot of the same shape of Lyle's, painted things and they have so many pinball machines. Plus there is parking in back and the street parking is honestly easier than their old location. And more importantly is that the food is on point. There is a thing happening food wise with five bars and I think LITT does it well. They offer up a smashie burger and it's $2-$4 cheaper than other places and also very good. The dogs are also being served and overall, that little kitchen makes some good grub. There are also booths that utilize the old playfield of a pinball machine. Shorty's (RIP) in Seattle used to have this and their Schtick too was hot dogs. I feel LITT has embraced this dive attitude with better grub and expanded it in a good way. Because honestly? It is about the pinball and having a regular beer. I recommend checking out the Pinball Map app to see what sort of machines are there if pinball is your thing. Also, playing earlier in the day increases your chances of actually hearing the machine. read more

If you're into pinball, Litt is the place to be. Seriously, we LOVE it here because they always have the best new machines! It's impressive how consistently they update their lineup. Their food offerings are perfect for a quick snack between rounds, and the beer selection is solid (especially those budget-friendly $4.50 Hamm's pours). We always appreciate how quick and friendly the service is. It's a truly welcoming, family friendly, and exciting spot that we highly recommend! read more

When you walk in, it's very dark. Very much like a gaming room. It's a very retro environment. I didn't try the food but their Bloody Mary is delicious! They have a bunch of beer and seltzer options to choose from. The staff were very sweet. Some pinball games were just a quarter or two but most of them cost $1 to play. But def worth a visit. read more

I can only review the pinball and the root beer on draft. What a fun little place to stop at. We are in town for a few days on business and stoped in for something to do. Nice selection of pin ball machines. $1 per play and they have a few older ones .50 cents a play. It's a bar but I did see a few families with kids playing . I would bring my teens in to play for sure. It's a little dark inside but again it's a bar. But all and all it was clean . read more

Stopped by Tilt during my business trip on Yelp's recommendation - what a great way to unwind! Loved the mix of retro and modern arcade games. The gourmet hot dogs hit the spot, and the pinball action was perfect for beating the winter chill. What stood out: Diverse game selection for all ages Surprisingly delicious fancy hot dogs Welcoming vibe despite our "mature" gaming skills Exactly the kind of quirky local gem Yelp excels at finding. 5 stars for fun! read more

Not your grandfathers pinball. Much better. Great place to hang out, but it is loud with over 50? Modern pinball machines, good bar food and a wide beer selection Very clean inside, and as long as you are there to supervise them, kids are welcome before 8pm Nice staff. My grandson was having to play on his tiptoes, when a staff person brought over one of their stools Machines are well maintained, with staff doing regular maintenance while we were there Food was good. Dogs, burgers, sandwiches. I had the Chicago dog which was better then some I have had in Chicago And if you want an adult beverage, they have that too read more

Five stars no question No kiss of death from me here They must stay open I give Fire & Nice a Four. Closed! I downgrade Lakes & Legends. Closed! You will be a cooler person for having made it here. Old school and new school pinball. Supposedly, there is this thing called tilt. Rock the machine to one side or the other based on the trajectory of the ball to keep it in play. I am not there yet. Not sure if I will ever be there. If you do it too much you get disqualified. My cousin is a total pinball wizard. I just play for fun. The beer selection is amazing! The staff is fast and friendly! Get here as soon as humanly possible! read more

What a fun bar! Colorful paintings! So many pinball games! If you can't find it here, it doesn't exist! Menu is imaginative in bar. I had their classic macaroni and cheese hotdog. It could've been better because the macaroni and cheese was served at room temperature instead of hot. Otherwise, the hotdog was good. We also got the soft pretzels and again the cheese was sub optimal, and cold but the honey Mustard dip was delicious. Great selection of beers on tap! Service was good. read more

I apologize that I didn't stay for any of the delicious drinks and food, I was strictly here for the pinball but glancing at their menu, they had such a plethora of great food options and specials. Plenty of great selections of hard Cider I've never heard of as well I regret not trying. The pinball game varieties are amazing! I finally! FINALLY got a chance to finally play the wrestling pinball game I've been waiting forever to play. Tons of old school pinball games. An Elton John and metallica pinball game which was really cool. Average games are 75 cents a game but they have some for 50 cents and a quarter. Great place to spend plenty of money and take the edge off the world around you unless you're a competitive pinball player. read more

It was my first time going to Litt Pinball Bar with a friend and I fell in love. There is parking around the building even though the streets are busy. As you walk in the dimly lit building you are greeted by a bar and booths giving you the feel of a classic arcade. The food and beer were excellent as well as the service. You order at the bar and they bring you your food. The chicken wings were fantastic as well as the beer selection. They had all the classic pinball games as well as lots of modern ones and the cost to Price ranged from 0.50 to 1.00. This provided hours of fun and as the hours went on the competition increased. This spot is well worth checking out. read more

Nice having a place like this near the Wedge. Vibrant interior, plenty of quarter machines. It's deco is top tier. Service can vary depending on day and time of the week, as they host lots of events. But it's always been solid every time I've been there. The quality of food your getting for the price it's valued at is amazing. Every item and drink I've had there has been solid. As well as appetizers. If you're near Lyn-Lake to the Wedge it's a must stop. With construction under way it is difficult to get to, but worth it read more

A cozy bar and pinball arcade all in one! There are just over 20 games to play and each only costs about $0.50 to play. If you don't have change on hand don't worry, they have a change machine and an ATM. I had a fun time playing here, there were enough games to stay entertained for a while and there were always open machines so I didn't have to wait to play, but if you want a particular game you might! Good selection of beer and food. Only had drinks here, and the bartender was friendly. read more

Love the pinball. About 25 games in total - plenty of options and the wait isn't too bad most of the time. One game was turned off and one game kept my quarters but the person at the bar provided quarters back - no question. The menu is hotdogs - 1/4lbers so they are filling. Each served with chips. Our order came out quickly - except we never got the waters we requested. Parking is on the street and get your graffiti fix in the bathroom. Highly recommend as a kid friendly option before 9pm. read more

Visited Tilt as a part of a road trip through the plains states to try some awesome hot dogs. In Minneapolis, Tilt was calling. Unbeknownst to me, the night that I was visiting was the night of a pinball tournament. The place was PACKED. When I walked in I saw rows and rows of pinball machines but wasn't sure what the food/drink situation was. So I circled the place and ended up at the bar. There weren't many seats and I felt bad taking one and blocking bar access from other patrons but I wasn't sure what my other options were. I got a beer and ordered an OGB with BBQ sauce and chips. The chips were really good with a generous coating of great seasoning. The dog was delicious too. Topped with smoked onions (I couldn't really get any smoked flavor), gouda, and bacon plus their BBQ sauce. When it came out it just looked like melted cheese on bread covered in sauce and I wasn't mad about it. I did feel the need to sort of eat and run because of how busy the place was. I paid my check as quickly as I could, finished my hot dog, then stood away from the bar to finish my drink before heading out. I wasn't sure the etiquette of watching other people play or walking around/behind them so I kinda felt a little out of place. Nonetheless, good dog and cool environment! read more

Fun little arcade with all sorts of pinball machines as well as a full bar. Thursday afternoon, only a handful of people were inside, which made it comfortable to play the games. Change-machine inside to give you quarters (not tokens) to play the games. Most of the games are at around $0.25 to $0.50 to play. For drinks, they have an extensive list of cocktails and beer to choose from. Opted for one of the local draft IPAs ($7) and went about to each of the stations. Would note that there aren't beverage holders at the machines, so you have to put your drink to the side on a table when playing. There is some food here as well if you're into hot dogs and sandwiches. Straightforward setup and fun atmosphere. Not large by any means, so can get crowded easily. read more

This is a pinball bar!! I always get weary about specific pinball bars because most of the machines are in bad condition, but this place had pristine machines, a good drink selection and an awesome menu!! They have a really great lineup of pinball machines with newer and vintage pinball games and this place gets packed on the weekends. Their food menu is awesome! They have a good selection along with their famous different hot dogs! This is a great spot to slap some flippers and have a great hot dog! read more

We had a great experience at LITT pinball bar! We had previously been fans of the similar concept place TILT so we were excited to check this location out in the revamped lot of Liquor Lyle's! The place was popping in a good way, lots of people at the bar, in booths and playing pinball but still plenty of room to find a spot or play. There were two bartenders on staff that we could tell with a couple servers/bar backs so service was fairly quick but not immediate. Service was dive bar good - no extra fluff, but got the job done well. They have a big selection of liquor, beer, and wine available. I had one of their tall boys - reasonably priced and tried one of their signature shots and really enjoyed it - also not bad pricing. The food is surprisingly great!!! We had their everything bagel seasoned pretzel sticks and loved the two dipping sauces they came with, the cheese was really yummy and hard to go wrong with cream cheese either. The different hot dog options were good and my partner tried out one of their basic ones that came with a side of chips and enjoyed it also. They accept cash and card but be prepared to bring extra to play the games - the pinball is all pay to play and 50 cents to 1.50 a game or more! Expect to pay a little extra for a night out at a standard dive bar but the food quality and fun atmosphere makes it worth the little extra. read more

I walked into this place randomly on the way to a dinner with some colleagues. Wow...really friendly staff, the patrons were all nice and let me play in on rotation, and the collection of games was stellar! I was really surprised by how well the action on the "older" games was maintained. I've rebuilt the Addams Family, and it was really clean on the rails, with well maintained bumpers. Somebody must really love these machines. Oh, and they have the new Toy Story 4! Everybody has been talking about it and it looks really fun. read more

Staff was borderline hostile. I'll lay it out: Tuesday night, pretty light crowd, three employees around the bar. Sign at the door says seat yourself so we sit down and wait about 10min, no one acknowledges our table at all (there are only three tables with ppl at them and maybe 5 ppl at the bar) there seems to be one waitress, she visits the table behind us twice, never acknowledges us. We move up to the bar and wait another 5min before anyone even looks at us Slightly annoyed, but hungry so we stay Staff begrudgingly acknowledges us and takes our order (its currently 11pm, they advertise kitchen close at 1am, and the whole place doesn't close until 2am) food takes almost 40min I ordered an item that the menu suggests there would be pastrami on. No pastrami, so I ask the bar, they inform me that it is "pastrami sauce" No big deal, I must have misread the menu (I look again, its very misleading, but no big deal) Then, for the next 5 min the staff complain VERY LOUDLY about how stupid and rude I am for having "the nerve" to ask if there was supposed to be pastrami on my dish. They go on and on, making sure that I can hear. Again, I'd like to emphasize, it wasn't a big deal, and the only thing I did was ask and when they informed me it was not pastrami, but only "pastrami sauce", my response was a simple "oh my mistake" and I returned to my meal happily (btw the food was pretty good, if not for everything else, I would def eat there again) We had planned on staying to play pinball and have a few more drinks but opted to leave instead Very hostile and strange environment. Will not return. Never had such an experience at an establishment before. read more

Went during lunchtime in early April 2025. Really good bar food at really good prices (lunch specials). Excellent clean & fun atmosphere. We are not pinball aficionado's but I'm guessing if you are, this is the place to come. There were two guys meticulously maintaining the machine machines and everything was in pristine condition. I was impressed at how clean and this place was. Perfect place for some time together with my son. Construction around was confusing but once we found the parking lot I was so happy to not have to park in the street! I'd highly recommend this place if you like pinball or just want something different. read more

Great food, awesome drinks, decent bar service and some of the best maintained pinball machines in the city.

New location is nice, but not worth the 50% increase in game prices since the move. Parking is difficult, as expected. The vibe is the same. I don't know if this will be as worth the visits. Maybe this will be fun for singles and the adult pinball players who put obscene high scores? read more

WOW! This place is hella phenomenal! Tons of pinball machines, both Williams and Stern...modern and classic. It cost 75 cents for 1 game. I came here with my niece on a Sunday afternoon. We both enjoyed ourselves. The food was amazing! The staff was friendly and professional. The place was super clean including the restrooms. The pinball machines were all well-maintained. There is a parking lot in the back of the place. Overall, I loved it and highly recommend. But there are just 2 issues I had. (1)They need to make sure there is some hand sanitizer in the hand sanitizing machines around the bar. We went to 3 of them, and they were empty. (2)They need to have a stop sign or warning sign leaving from the back of the parking lot to the main street. The bar exit is right at the corner of the exit of the parking lot so someone might get hit if someone isn't paying attention. read more

Great date night spot for a fun night out doing something different. This is not a place to go if you're looking for a wide variety of choices of food, as they only serve hotdogs; however they do have a vegan option, which is great. The staff were all courteous and friendly, and the hot dogs were really tasty. They have some great combinations- I ordered one with pickles, cream cheese, and pastrami seasoning and the hubby got a chili cheese dog. The pinball machines were really fun and varied, from old school vintage to newer ones like Lord of the Rings and Deadpool. We spent like $30 for dinner, two drinks and some pinball, pretty cheap date night! read more

Wow, is all I can say! This place is amazing for a date night, guys night out, friends date, etc. This is a really fun place with great beer and good food! We stopped in because we saw it sitting at the red light. My sister knew of this place when it was called tilt and told us we needed to go in. That was a lot of fun, and I proudly spent $30 playing pinball. Such a cool ambiance and blast from the past! Decorated perfectly set for the time era with retro and neon lights. I love the fun house and monster mash pinballs. They do have booths to eat at, a bar, and to sets of areas to play pinball. The set that is farther in the back, you're able to watch them playing on a screen above the machine, which was also pretty fun to watch! I highly recommend stopping in here if you haven't!! I'll be back! read more

All sorts of funky & fun vibes flowing from the Tilt Pinball bar!! I decided to park on the street as I was unsure if the ramp was free but there was plenty of space so didn't have to walk too far. The retro decor from ceiling to floor is super incredible that just oozes 1950's pinball popularity. With dozens to choose from, it's hard to decide, they all look SO FUN!! Don't worry if you're not a pinball wizard, it takes practice trust me, but either way it is a blast! You do have to exchange your money to tokens to play but most machines only require one or two so it's a pretty cheap date night. Alongside the fun pinball machines, there's also a selection of funky fun hot dogs and beverages available to quench your thirst and appetite! It's a bit smaller than I expected & the menu was too outlandish for my boring cheddar brat & ketchup taste buds but overall a great find! read more

This review is for the new LITT location at the old Liquor Lyle's. I was a frequent patron at the old location and while the new spot is bigger and more snazzy, it lost some of its charm. For one- they increased the pinball prices. Part of the draw of the old place was the .50 cent games. I miss the old iconic bar top with the pinball design and lights. They have some of this at a few tables now, but it's not the same. The parking lot has a dozen or so spaces and if they're full, you'll have a hard time finding any street parking. The previous spot at least had a lot of street parking within a block. The food is pretty good but the cheese curds were so greasy. There was a pool of grease in the basket. The service was very slow, and The bartender we had seemed like he wasn't having a great day. It's bigger yes but navigating around the games somehow feels the same as in the smaller space. I like it but don't love it like the old spot. It feels more like Up Down but without the arcade games, pizza and 80's/90's films/ tv shows on the screens. Bonus for good accessibility and keeping the booths, which look great and are comfortable. read more
