Pinball NOLA
Welcome to the home base for all things pinball in New Orleans — league nights, tournaments, community updates, and our plan to build a pinball arcade bar in the city.
A welcoming, competitive league for all skill levels.
We run a 6-week season where newcomers and veterans can both have a blast. At $1 to play per night, it’s the best deal on competitive pinball in the city.
How it works
Format: Group match play with balanced pairings
Skill levels: Everyone’s welcome — first-timers to tournament regulars
Schedule: Tuesdays at 7pm, with playoffs every 6 weeks on Wednesday; seasonal winter and Mardi Gras breaks
Code of conduct: Be kind, respect the games, celebrate good play
