Gotta love confusing first timers when we walk into a real working laundromat for a drink. You make your way to the back where you go behind a door that looks like a washing machine. The space is quaint and intimate, but feels like the perfect spot to kill some time when you're doing laundry or just on a fun little date. They serve beers and cider; no liquor, although you can get a shot soju for $4. I had a mango and peach cider from Downeast that was quite delicious. Most of their drinks were $10 each, which was reasonable. This is a great spot when you want some entertainment as you can play their pinball machines ($1 each play), skeeball, or any of the free boardgames they have. Be sure to bring cash, but there is a machine that gives you a change of coins. read more

Cool little speakeasy behind a laundromat. Keyword little. It has about 10 different pinball machines and enough room for about 15 - 20 people. The bartender is super friendly and the pinball is fun! They serve pretty good drinks beers. I believe they have a pinball league in conjunction with their sister bar which is pretty cool. Also they have skee ball and you can redeem your tickets for little cute prizes. Overall, a pretty cool place if you are in the area. read more

What a cute speakeasy! The perfect getaway for the arcade lover, ring pop enthusiast, and the sweet sweet smell of suavitel! In all seriousness my friends and I had a blast playing skeeball, trying to rack up tokens for silly prizes and gabbing all night here. Definitely a unique Greenpoint experience read more

I wish this was my neighborhood laundromat because it's the most fun! What do laundry and pinball have in common? They require quarters! Genius business model, lol. The bar's reasonably priced, and each pinball play costs $1. There are quarters machines for convenience, and the pinball tables are varied and have fun themes. Super cute date spot with a little yard in the back. You could probably have a small group hang here, but I would save the large hangs for their new giant sister bar down the street, Scrappleland. Dogs are allowed here but not at the other bar though. read more

What a fun surprise. I can not vouch for the laundry but the back with a bar, outside tables and two banks of pinball machines is great. It is all even greater because to get to the fun you pass through a door that looks like a washing machine. read more

This is a cool pinball arcade that's like a speakeasy located in the back of a functioning laundromat. There's a bunch of pinball machines, a skeeball game, a couple tables, board games, and a bar serving up pretty good draft beers. This is definitely a hidden gem in the Greenpoint area and a must-visit if you like pinball. read more

This place is a gem. It's super laid back and not pretentious at all. I will go alone sometimes to have a casual drink and dabble with some pinball machines (even though I suck but if you have fun that's all that counts! There is a really friendly bartender that I have a mini crush on so I've been going a little more lately and now I'm getting a little addicted to pinball! read more

Who doesn't love a speak easy!? This bar is super cute and amazing vibes. Ended the night here after a Barclays event and we had a great chill night. There are free video games you can play, plenty of craft beer selection and the retro music videos that were playing made it that much more fun. We will be back read more

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball - Fun set up! - Arcades Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've walked by and wanted to check out Sunshine Laundromat and Pinball for some time now. Finally went in this weekend. After walking through the active laundromat in front, the back wall has a door that resembles washing machines that opens to a small, dark bar. I was instantly hooked by the low key, no frills bar that I thoroughly enjoy. A fairly straightforward drink menu, mostly beer. Some fun pinball machines and an enormous amount of board games. There is a small outdoor area as well. The best part about all of this though is it's dog friendly. Looking forward to returning with my furry friend! read more

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball - Board games at Sunshine laundromat and pinball - Arcades Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Hidden in plain sight in Greenpoint, this speakeasy caught me by surprise--I didn't realize what it was until I ventured to the back of the laundromat. The drinks are VERY affordable, and they've got plenty of arcade games (bring cash for those). There's also a cozy backyard and a dozen board games to choose from. It's the kind of spot that works just as well for a fun night out with friends as it does for a relaxed date night. read more

There is no pinball. (12/2023) Average experience, small laundromat, nice staff in the morning. A lot of the dryers were broken and it is 5 minutes for $0.25 (20min/$1). It's pretty clean inside. read more

I found this place on Yelp, and when I was the photos, I knew I had to make a visit to this place! This place is a laundromat on the front side and a pinball bar on the backside! They've got all kinds of pinball machines, ranging from the early 70s I think to more recent titles like Game of Thrones. Once your quarters have run out, you can also play board games which they have easily accessible. They have a decent selection of beer on tap and canned, whichever you prefer! This place is a bit small, so it can easily get packed. If you want to enjoy the games, I'd suggest coming here around 7PM or on weeknight to fully take advantage of all the pinball machines! read more

AHHHHHHHHH it looks super cute but they are closed for a few weeks as of 5/2 see their Instagram for reopening

I had a show at the nearby Brooklyn Bazaar and after a quick slice of pizza at another location, took the suggestion of my friend about going to Sunrise Laundromat & Pinball as it was just around the corner from the club we were seeing a show at. My friend runs a pinball room upstate and is a diehard fan of the games and since I like them as well I wanted to check out this new place to my own wanderings. When you walk into Sunrise you are actually in a real laundromat with washers and dryers around you and some older machines for gaming that are unused and have become decorations. When you walk to the very rear of the space, there is a washing machine door (or is it) that leads you into a back room where there is a bar and about 25 pinball machines. It's really cool to be honest and while seeing this door at a distance will not let you think anything is behind there, once you are closer you can see through the glass that there is more than meets the eye going on behind it. Some of the notable pinball machines are Jurassic Park, Metallica, Ghostbusters, Game Of Thrones and Guardians Of The Galaxy. There was a machine marked for the Supreme brand but it was waiting on a repair so I couldn't see what it was all about. Almost all of the games are $1 each and you get three balls per game. My friend and I played Jurassic Park and enjoyed an ice cold beer from the bar. I would have played more games but we were unsure about the timing of the show at the Bazaar so finished that and moved along. I really enjoyed the brief stay and look forward to the next time I am around to pay them a visit. read more

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball - The Chimp. - Arcades Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I like quirky stuff and I love pinball so Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball easily earns 4 stars in my book. Upon arrival I was a little disappointed that the door to the game room was just hanging open. I was under the impression that this was more of a "secret pinball lair" and didn't realize I would be watching people fold their undies while I played pinball. On the other hand, if you have to go to a laundromat to wash your clothes it would be awesome to enjoy a beer and play a few pinball games while you wait for your laundry. I only docked one star because while there is a decent selection of pinball machines, the games are all crammed into the room, making it difficult to play multiple players on a single machine. There is only one small area to sit and a few bar stools so I constantly felt like I was in the way of someone trying to pass by or play another machine. I didn't mind the occasional awkward game of musical chairs, but it was enough to make me glad that we visited earlier in the evening when they weren't packed. read more

While the laundromat smells appropriately clean and soapy, let's neglect that part of the business and walk right past the washers, dryers, and a few pinball machines out front. Right to the secret dryer speakeasy door in the back, and... TA DA!!! Brooklyn's worst kept, yet revered and treasured secret! The lights are low, the machines glow and the quarters flow (I know, not bad, right?) I love the range of machines, from electromechanical to super-modern technology hybrids. Some favorites are here: there's always a Star Trek game of some generation, an Elvira or two and the Adams Family. The back, under the skylight, gives you the surprisingly cool experience of "pinball under the stars" on a dozen or so machines. And one thing to note: quarters, not tokens that lock your money up until your next visit! Thank you. read more

All the "hidden," "secret," and "disguised" elements have pretty much been covered quite well below. It is a beacon for a Pinball wizard; the environment is nice & mellow; the venue is q q q q cool. However, the crown jewel of this place is the fact that the laundromat upfront is *not* in fact a gimmick, nor is it serving a purpose only in relation to the scene in back. It's an actual, operating laundry place! Which is fantastic to have the back to not only enjoy whenever, but as a pretty great option for when you have some heavy rinse cycles to knock out. PLUS, the bar hours (til 4am on weekends; 2 or 4 weekdays, I believe?) apply to the laundromat as well, which makes it the only place in the area that I have found that stays open late! Back when I was on the LES in Manhattan, laundry seemed to be one of the very few stores/services that, across the board, rarely held hours later than 10 PM; perhaps 11 in a select, or rare spots (but that usually meant the "last wash" had to be in 45 mins before). Which is why the fact that this place is not only one of the v few businesses I've found with late (late!) laundromat hours, but with an atmosphere that makes it not only easier to get your loads in (at the absurd hour you left laundering 'til), but actually turns the Waiting into Hanging. So while you wait to fold, meet some friends, or have a frosty brew, or a frozen suja margie... (also! some foods are avails as well)... or find your inner Wizard... bc I seriously think they have every Pinball machine of all time covered. Plus, sucha-supple-wrist def couldn't hurt when it comes time to get back to the folding. read more

Cool wine/beer speakeasy arcade hidden behind a functioning laundromat. The laid back spot has a bunch of pinball machines and fun party games (e.g. Citizens of Humanity and game inspired by it like What Do You Meme? and Trumped Up). The bar offers a variety of beers, wine, and frose (which I enjoyed) as well as one food option (Roberta's pizza). Unfortunately, no cocktails. Overall, a chill spot to hang with friends over casual drinks and games. read more

Favorite speakeasy! I've been to over 15 speakeasies and this one still caught me by surprise. The bar is hidden behind a working laundromat. And there are dozens of pinball machines along the walls (75 cents or $1 each). How cool is that!!!? They have board games as well. My favorite is the Dirty Minds game hahaha. The booklets smell a little but after a few minutes, you won't even notice after the first round of laughs. Oh and to flush the toilet, use the pinball lever on the wall. It's nifty! read more

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball - Which one of your friends has the dirtiest mind? ;) - Arcades Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Guys, please update your website, socials, review platforms etc with accurate opening and closing hours...the door was open when I entered this evening at around 6:30pm. I placed my clothes in for a wash. Come back 30 mins later (7pm) and it's closed. Phone doesn't work. I didn't see the updated COVID hours sign on the entrance door, I was going off of what you currently have communicated online. It's not the hugest deal, but it's just disappointing considering how long I've been a patron... read more

For a long time New York City has bred hundreds and hundreds of "secret spots" where only people who are in the know will go to. The Forbes Gallery was one, back when it had its collection of Faberge eggs. The Brooklyn Banks was one for skateboarders before it was destroyed. For pinballers, the best kept secret of New York is the Sunshine Laundromat in Greenpoint. This isn't just some Laundromat with a few junky random machines strewn about. The owner is an enthusiast who has curated in a selection of what are regarded as the best pinball machines of the early nineties. He also repairs them frequently so they are all in perfect shape. You will be hard pressed to find more pristine examples of these machines in New York City. The owner will rotate in pinball machines from his personal collection if a machine proves unpopular. This is a perfect date spot if you couple it with dinner at the Japanese restaurant across the street and your date isn't turned off by hanging out at a laundromat. I've been going here for a couple of years now but felt driven to write a review after having a particularly good time there that culminated in the owner giving us beverages and selling me the playfield from a FIre pinball machine. I heartily implore all curious young folks to check out Greenpoint's best secret hangout. As of this writing Sunshine Laundry currently has these pins out: Attack From Mars Monster Bash Theater of Magic Addams Family (gold edition) Indiana Jones (the original one) Cirqus Voltaire Twilight Zone Funhouse Elvira: Scared Stiff Medieval Madness T2 Star Trek: TNG White Water Jurassic Park World Cup Soccer Spider-Man ACDC Safecracker Getaway Big Bang Bar Arabian Nights Cactus Canyon read more

So you're probably asking yourself why did a guy from Miami go to a laundromat in the middle of Brooklyn? Pinball, of course! Doesn't everyone go to play pinball in a laundromat? No? Yeah, seems like a weird idea but this laundromat has some of the most rare and sought after pinball machines all in one place, it's a collector's dream just to come here. Unfortunately for me, they were re-doing things and the majority of the machines were folded up and stored on top of the dryers at the time, but it didn't matter because the whole idea of this place is too cool for less than a 5 star rating. Hopefully the construction will be done before my return visit. read more

Brought my dirty laundry here. Left it because I got distracted by the pinball and beer! I had heard of the legendary Sunshine Laundromat and finally got to visit. Alas, I never saw it's original incarnation but the current one is so sweet! Machines are all in amazing condition and you will find some rarities on the floor including Big Bang Bar, Spider-Man Black, and AC/DC Back in Black. Peter the owner was really nice and there to fix issues on the spot and I had two amazing nights here on my last trip to NYC. Open pretty late and chill during the early hours on the weekdays so go any time you like! Can't wait to return and put up more of my initials! :) read more

Great place for a night out with friends after dinner or a fun date night activity. We came on a Friday night, and we had such a fun time. The laundromat in the front of the store is pretty tiny, but there was a good amount of people doing their laundry which made walking into the back a more exciting experience. Once you open the door, it's a pinball world. I forgot how much I enjoyed playing. They do have a bar inside if your looking to drink and play. *no liquor! All games are $1, so make sure to bring tons of quarters. If not, you can always exchange your cash at the coin machine they have inside. There is a variety of different types of people, people who you can tell who go there a lot, to the people who just went to check it out. Like we did! Definitely a place worth checking out, it's a pretty cool spot. I'll promise you , if you post it on Facebook or Instagram everyone will be asking where it is ;) read more

This speakeasy is the type of place that'll make you feel cool and retro, without feeling pretentious. At first, it seems like an unassuming laundromat--rows of washers and dryers lining the ways...but if you head to the back, you open a world of wonder and joy. The beers are plentiful and crafty...I had several ginger ciders that tasted heavenly...but the true star is the pinball. There's about 20 machines, and each game is a buck...so for $20 I was playing for a solid 2 hours. It felt better on my wallet than dropping $100 at Dave & Busters. It's a tad crowded during the busy times...but 3PM on a Saturday meant I wasn't waiting for drinks or games. Do yourself a favor, and check out this Brooklyn gem! read more

3 instead of zero because it's fine as a laundry mat but it's not a bar at all. No beer and 2 working pinball machines......ok after a little more research, apparently there is a bar in the back, but it's not open like it says it is so I have no idea. 3 stars still stands read more

Machines are priced on par or less than anywhere else plus they're about 20% larger (18 pounds vs 15 pounds; 35 pounds vs 30 pounds). They have new management with an amazing attitude. Doing laundry is now almost enjoyable. Equipment is better maintained and the entire facility is cleaner than it was with the old management. Attendants are very friendly and always happy to help. I was there near closing one night and couldn't help but notice every washer running but without other customers and without clothing--turns out it is a special sanitation cycle they run regularly! My only beef is they close at 9PM (a bit early for my schedule) but the woman working indicated they're negotiating extending hours starting this fall. The icing is a great new coffee shop next door--the guy with the really cool T-shirts even knows my name and remembers my favorite drink after only a few visits. read more

Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball - Sunshine Laundromat - Arcades Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Interesting speakeasy which is hidden in the back of a laundromat in Brooklyn. The laundromat is actually used by the locals and they did a good job disguising the door as a dryer. Inside there are various pinball machines and a bar with a limited selection of beers that are mainly bottles and cans. The pinball machines are well maintained and the selection is very up to date. The people running the place are friendly people. What I found very interesting was the pinball lever to flush the toilet, must have taken them a lot of work to custom design the lever. Overall an interesting place to play pinball, have a beer or do laundry. read more

Man this place was something so special . It is something special . It's such a nice experience . It's a dope speakeasy that has multi purpose S the laundromat isn't a front for the bar and pinball machines in the back . It's legit a laundromat which I love . You walk all the way to the back and there is a door and in the back is a bar and pinball machines . It's so chill and so much fun . The things I love is how they have old fashion games that you and your friends can play . You can chill at the bar and just chat which is what me and my friend did and just have a beer . I had the ginger cider I think beer which was 8 bucks and I liked it . it was soft and sweet . There aren't major foods here , I don't think there are foods here at all BUT you will not be disappointed . It's so much fun and just eat something before you come and chill or don't . Either way I had a ball and this place is special and a gem . It's intimate so it's not for a huge group of friends. So def check this place out . I will be back for sure . read more

This place is so fun! Walk all the way to the back to find the secret door. They have a good amount of beer choices and they even have cider on tap. Besides pinball machines, they also have board games. The pinball machines have cup holders to hold your beer as you play. It's a very tight narrow space so it's a little bit hard to navigate. read more

Second trip here and this recent visit has sobered me up a bit regarding my opinion of this place that I had to come back to, dragging my wife and two friends in the process. This place is incredibly novel, especially if you are from out of town, love pinball, or both. Many people have already talked about the entrance. No big deal. I think the wacky vending machine they have in the front is far more amusing. For about two dozen machines, this collection is among the best of its size in this type of venue in the world. Yes, world. They are very good about getting new machines in as they're released and have a great selection of indisputable classics. The night prior to my visit, Jack Danger, a preeminent player and streamer of pinball was playing at this very spot. Rating aside, if you consider yourself really into pinball, you have to visit this place. My average rating stems from a couple things. Many people have stated that the machines are well maintained, and they mostly are. I think the exception to this is that many of the machines I played seemed to have a lean to them. This resulted in being unable to trap the ball with one of the flippers and making it too easy to trap the ball with the other. Additionally, the music was loud enough where you couldn't hear a lot of the sound effects and music from the machines themselves. That's a key part of the experience in my opinion, especially when playing a machine like AC/DC. So yes, while they do serve alcohol and they do have board games (which went a long way placating my friends who were not so interested in pinball), there are better places to play. Probably even in New York City. read more
