    What a great place to go drink, eat and play. Satellite Pinball Lounge has the coolest vibes. So many unique pinball machines available to play that costs only a $1 a game. The interior is dark with neon lights. Drink holders are attached to the machine to store your drink while playing. They have a lot of fresh draft beers and bottled beers to choose from. I had a Samuel Adams seasonal draft beer on tap that was cold and crisp. The service was excellent and attentive. Food is offered from the pizza restaurant that is connected and is very convenient. I definitely will be back really soon!

    Cool spot in Oakland Park, FL. Retro gaming/pinball machines bar that took me back to my childhood. The bar is great offering full bar and snacks/food. The service was quick too. I really liked the decor & vibe of this place. Good for all ages. Worth checking out.

    This is a fun place to visit and play pinball. Games are $1/each. There is a bar in the center and a pizza place next door. It wasn't super loud inside so you can have a conversation. There is free parking. There is a machine to put dollars in to get coins for the machines.

    Stopped in to Satellite Pinball on Friday for lunch since I noticed they now extended their hours on fridays. First off - immediately passes the vibe check. Its got an old school arcade feel with the sounds and lights of the pinball machines instantly making me feel at home. We sat at the bar and we were greeted by the bartender Liz. She gave us some suggestions and took our drink orders. They have a TON of drinks on the menu. Beer on draft, cans, bottles, seltzers, surfsides, sake and others. And then the food which is mainly comprised of pizza, stormbolis and a couple sides. We ended up ordering a few pies and some fries. Seasoned waffle fries are always a win for me so those were on point. The pies we got were The Eclipse (Sausage, Pepperoni, Ricotta and Basil), the The Gigante (Sausage, Mushrooms and Olives) and the Upside Down (provolone, mozzarella and sauce on top - not pictured) My personal favorite was the eclipse. With the salty meats, creamy ricotta and perfectly cooked crust this was a home run. (8.6) The gigante was also delicious. I was apprehensive when I saw olives that it would be too salty, but the balance was great. (7.8) The upside, while good, was my least favorite. Their sauce is incredible, but I think when you compare it to the other two it just didnt have the flavors I wanted as it was more of a basic pie. (7.1) Liz was spot on with the suggestions and the service. We will be back to Satellite over and over.

    Stopped in for the first time on a rainy night. Initially, we were coming just to try the pizza. We asked what we should try and were told the Pepperoni H is the most popular. We added mushrooms. We decided to grab a beer and eat at the bar. After watching everyone else play, we joined in on the fun. It takes 1 token to play each machine and it's $1 per token. The machines were fun and the atmosphere was fun. The pizza came out hot and fresh. The taste was good but the toppings were sparse. The bartender was friendly and fun. Overall good experience. We'll be back!

    You may only get the chance to make a first impression once, but if you're lucky you get to make up for it on a second impression. And they did. Boring Friday night turned into "mom's a hero night" with $20 in tokens, a cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks and a cold beer (for me. Not the 9 yr olds). The sticks are upper solid. Plump and crispy until the last bite. The pizza was ordered "extra crispy" and it was perfect. They devoured it all. The staff was friendly and welcoming to us.

    Gen X childhood revisited! How about an evening of pinball games and a beverage for under $20? There's about 20 machines, games are $1 each (you have to buy tokens), and there's a bar in the middle with a pizza shop attached next door (connected inside). There were no gluten free food options, but the bar had gluten free options. We each played 10 games and I had a couple hard ciders at happy hour (nice deal!). Music was great and the sounds of the games made for some nostalgic feels. Fun place for an office party too! Let's support them, neighbors!

    Fast, good service. Garden of Venus pizza was Yum-yum. Ambiance was very chill and laid back....offers a little something for everyone of all ages.

    When I say I was blown away with Satellite Pinball Lounge, I really mean it! It was way cooler than I expected! They are owned by the same owners of the Glitch Bar in Flagler village which is a barcade, but Satellite Pinball Lounge has a lot of the aspects of Glitch but makes it unique with a different spin on it all! Once inside, I didn't realize there would be space within the Pizza restaurant side itself and the Pinball lounge. It made the location feel spacious and not claustrophobic which is sometimes the case with Glitch. However, this location is exclusively Pinball machines, and you must pay $1 for a token which each machine takes a token for gameplay. Games last as long as you survive which is all based on Pinball skill. They have a bunch of machines with a ton of cool themes so you definitely have a ton of options. The bar is also a bit U shape so it is a spacious with seating options on the outside of the bar as well. Now what really stood out for me is the food options. I thought the pizza was extremely good. I would definitely come back for pizza and pinball again just from that aspect. The tap selection and other drinks on the menu were all very appealing too. I really enjoy the lounge feel of this location as it makes it feel chill and slower paced which is good for a bar. The parking is also free all along Oakland park which is another great selling point. I cannot wait to visit again soon and do it all again!

    "Meat the pizza" - one of my favorite pizzas every time I go. Always cooked to perfection. Clean establishment. And you could play pinball next door when you're done eating pizza!! Awesome place. Awesome service . Awesome vibe. Awesome people. "I like it here" - I will go again soon

    We had a surprise belated birthday here for a pinball loving friend and we could not have had a better experience. The age range of people we came with started at 8 and went to 84 and we all had fun! The service was fantastic and we never waited to get a drink at the bar more than seconds...really impressive. The hot honey pepperoni pizza was delicious and if you are a fan of good rock music then the background music will make you endlessly happy. The game selection was very decent and all machines were in great condition. The parking lot is small but there is plenty of additional free parking around the corner. Everyone should check this place out!

    Great setup for avid pinheads or first time pinball players alike! Most of the pins are newer releases from Stern, so they play reliably and offer an excellent presentation of the modern pinball experience. Excellent sound, graphics, and play. Place is decorated with nice touches like old playfields, classic photography, and more. Priced at $1 per game, definitely a bargain.

    Ask the Community - Satellite Pinball Lounge

    Do they have Adam's Family pinball?

    We do not have Adam’s Family

    Is this family friendly?

    It IS a bar, but there's also a pizza place attached to it and there were kids there when I went. Also their menu had quite a few non alcoholic drinks on it.

They have any game you could ever want-PlayStation, Nintendo, sega, etc, and board games to play as well.

Two of us ordered drinks right away and sat at the bar playing video games. The rest of our group was still deciding what they wanted, which we understood fell under the one drink minimum per person rule. One friend sat with us at the bar while we had our drinks and was told by the bartender that she couldn't sit there without purchasing a drink, so she moved. She then stood near our other friends, who were playing an arcade game, and they were told they could not play unless they each bought a drink. At this point, they stood behind us at the bar to look over the menu and decide what they wanted, but that didn't seem to matter. The bartender repeatedly returned and escalated the situation instead of allowing any reasonable time to order, stating they could get water if they wanted and that it did not have to be alcoholic. After only a couple of minutes, the same bartender came out from behind the bar again and said in a rude, condescending tone that they "don't understand... if they don't buy a drink, then they can't even be in the building." Our friends explained that we had already purchased drinks and were simply deciding what we wanted, but at that point, they were turned off by his behavior and no longer wanted anything--and frankly, neither did we. We cashed out our tab, finished our drinks, and left. We were already paying customers and would have ordered more drinks, but the handling of the situation made that impossible. Instead, the business lost not only our additional sales, but also several friends who were planning to join us and spend money. We are local to the area and not teenagers causing a disturbance, which is what the situation felt like when our friends were told to leave for no clear reason. I understand house rules like a one-drink minimum, but there is a professional way to enforce them. This wasn't it. Not everyone can or wants to order immediately--whether due to preferences, pacing, or dietary restrictions--and the lack of flexibility or basic courtesy was disappointing. Instead of encouraging guests to stay and order more, the approach did the opposite. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed my impression of the place, and I don't see myself returning. There are other spots in the area with a similar concept that offer a much more welcoming and customer-friendly experience, and I would recommend exploring those instead.

Monday I had the Classic Burger ($6, Monday price). On Thursday I had the pulled pork sandwich ($14, Thursday price). The angus beef burger was delicious even though it was just slightly undercooked. It came with fries or coleslaw. I chose the slaw which was creamy and sweet. The burger size was large and juicy. The slaw portion was small. The burger was good and was served on a plain hamburger bun. I added American cheese for a dollar more. The pulled pork sandwich wasn't really served on a toasted Kaiser roll, it was on an untoasted plain hamburger bun. It came with fries, pickles, and coleslaw. The fries can use some work. They were quite average. The pork was delicious and piled high. It was drenched in barbecue sauce and was very tasty. The Pub is very clean and a server takes your order and brings everything to you. This was nice. At the bar next door you have to wait in line at the bar to order food, drinks, a refill, or close out your bill. Lots of waiting in line on a busy night, but not at The Pub. Drinks at The Pub are not too overly priced. They do have a happy hour which saves some cash. There is usually live music or drag shows at The Pub which can be fun. It can also get very loud. The menu is large and prices vary but the daily specials are economical.

Sidecar Speakeasy was the play... The speakeasy entrance was hidden in a hallway you can walk right by without even noticing. I dig it. Once inside, it's dark. Most of the light is coming from the light showcasing the bottles in the bar. The seating is a little tight as they're trying to maximize space for such a small area. We visited here twice during my visit: We sat at a table and a bar. You have the perfect amount of space for your party, but you're pretty close to the next table or bar seat. No claustrophobic vibes though. All the mixologists were great during both visits. One visit, we ordered their signature cocktails from the menu. When we sat at the bar, we had the mixologist surprise with a cocktail off the menu. He just asked what kind of liquor vibe we wanted, and he took it from there. He was super creative with every cocktail which made for a great time. They stayed upon until midnight one one visit and until 1 am on the other one. Both my visits were on a weekday. The sidecar speakeasy is easily my favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale and I have a feeling I'll be back. Enjoy!
