BEHIND
THE FLIPPERS

Pinball Passport was born from a childhood memory and reignited by a simple conversation. Growing up playing the original Terminator 2: Judgement Day in my father's video store, pinball was just part of life -- until it wasn't.

 

Decades later, a chat with an old friend sparked something unexpected: a journey across five states discovering vibrant pinball communities. From Georgia to Michigan, Ohio to Illinois, I experienced firsthand what makes these scenes thrive.

​

What began as a love for pinballuickly turned into something bigger. We did not just see great machines. We saw vibrant spaces. Places where competition, music, nostalgia, and modern tech blended into real-world connection. Miami deserves better places to play and connect, and that's how Pinball Passport was born.

​​

Today, Pinball Passport is more than pinball. It is a growing network of interactive entertainment spaces designed to bring people together. Yes, you will find dialed-in tournament-ready machines, but you will also find arcade games, jukeboxes, trivia, league nights, casual hangouts, family-friendly events, and more.

​

By placing interactive experiences across Miami-Dade at locations like Duffy's Tavern in Coral Gables and Sam's Hideaway,  high-quality play is becoming more and more accessible. Whether you are chasing high scores, discovering your first game, or just looking for something different to do on a weeknight, there is a place for you here.
