|---|---|---|---|
| The Flipper Room | Concord, California, United States | 5/5 | |
| Phoenix Games | Concord, California, United States | 5/5 | Used console store in front, classic arcade in the back. Nice mix of newer pinball games and classic arcade games. |
| Coin-Op Game Room | Sacramento, California, United States | 5/5 | Lots and lots of classic arcade games. Some not in great shape but the selection is large enough to overlook a few bad monitors. Food is ok and reasonably priced. Can get crowded at peak times. Overall worth a visit or three though. |
| Museum of Pinball (Banning) | Banning, California, United States | 5/5 | Man I miss Banning. I would always stay the entire three days it was open and never get bored. My feet and hands would ache from playing games all day. Alpha Tron and the crew were always super cool as well. For sure the biggest pinball and arcade game collection on the planet until it closed and was sold off. |
| Pacific Pinball Museum | Alameda, California, United States | 5/5 | Lots of newer and classic pinball machines. Well maintained and reasonable price for entry. Staff is always friendly and accomodating. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the East Bay. |
| High Scores Arcade - Alameda | Alameda, California, United States | 3/5 | I have been here a few times. Seems like every time I am there there are problems with the games, either broken, not working, etc. Staff not super friendly or helpful. Small space but they do have a decent selection of good games. Lots of nice places to eat, shop, and hang out nearby. |
