There are many interesting bars in Minnesota, from historic pubs to spots with money hanging from the ceiling. Those are always fun to visit for a quick drink. But if you’re looking for a place to spend a little more time, you may want to consider one of Minnesota’s arcade bars. There are several in the state, including the popular Up-Down in Minneapolis. There’s also a new-to-us spot not far from Up-Down that specializes in old-school pinball machines. This all-ages spot will delight both young kids and those who grew up on pinball machines. Here’s what you need to know:
TILT Pinball Bar is a small spot in a busy neighborhood in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Driving by, you might miss it. But look closely, because this spot has a lot of fun inside.
At any given time, there are around 20 pinball machines. You might find games themed around anything from the Addams Family to the Munsters to Pirates of the Caribbean.
Being a bar, TILT also serves up great drinks. There are plenty of great wines, local beers, and cocktails on the menu, with discounts during happy hour Thursday-Sunday 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. to midnight.
But if there's one food this bar is known for, it's the hot dogs. There are 12 different dogs on the menu, as well as 32 toppings that you can use to make your own creation.
This delightful arcade bar is fun for people of all ages! Stop in with kids during the day for a few games, or check it out at night for drinks. Whatever you do, you'll enjoy taking a trip back in time with these old-school pinball machines.
TILT Pinball Bar is open 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day. Stop in next time you have some free time in Minneapolis! For more information, check out their website and Facebook page.
