Columbus is getting apinball club
We’re building a 24/7, member‑governed pinball club. Dues don’t start until we open — get involved now and help shape it.
Member‑governed. Volunteer‑powered. Transparent finances. Not a for‑profit arcade.

Help shape the club

Your 24/7 game room, coming soon
We’re building a community, not just a business. Here’s what makes Columbus Pinball Club special:
Secure access to our future facility. Visit anytime, day or night once open.
We have machines staged at Old North Arcade and Half Baked Bar. The full private collection opens with the club.
Lounge areas, kitchen, Wi‑Fi, and charging stations. Bring friends or relax solo.
IFPA‑sanctioned competitions, social events, and skill workshops.
Bring friends and family. Standard: 2/day. Premium: 4/day.
As a nonprofit social club, you help shape the future of the space.
Note: Membership dues begin once we open. Join an event now and get involved.
- Member‑governed: one member, one vote on key decisions.
- Dues fund the space, games, and community programs — no investors.
- Pre‑launch funds help grow pinball locally — think tournaments and community events.
- Transparency: we publish budgets and meeting notes.
We’re organizing as a 501(c)(7) social club. That means we exist to build community around pinball. Contributions are generally not tax‑deductible — and that’s okay with us. The focus is people, not profit.
See how we steward funds in our public financial reports.
Membership launching soon
We’re building the club now. Memberships won’t be charged until we open.
Building our community while we find the right home
We’re actively searching for a space that fits our needs in the Short North area and beyond. In the meantime, we host events around Columbus to grow the community.
Coming soon: our permanent facility will feature 24/7 keycard access, comfortable lounge areas, and a large pinball collection. We’ll announce the exact location once secured.
In the meantime, we have machines staged at partner bars like Old North Arcade and Half Baked Bar for members to play. Our full private collection will open when the club opens.
