Rock 'N Roll Pinball: Opelika's Arcade Haven
Opelika's Rock 'N Roll Pinball: Where music meets vintage games for an unforgettable family-friendly experience!
Rock 'N Roll Pinball, located in the heart of Opelika, Alabama, offers a unique entertainment experience that blends the nostalgia of classic arcade games with the energy of rock 'n' roll. Founded by Ernie Rains, what started as a personal hobby with a Beatles pinball machine has evolved into a thriving community hub. The arcade features over 30 pinball machines, both vintage and modern, all set to free play, meaning no quarters are needed. Instead, visitors can purchase wristbands for hourly or daily access. Game selections include AC/DC, Aerosmith, Deadpool, and more. In addition to pinball, there are also multicade video games with access to over 5,000 games. Rock 'N Roll Pinball is also a live music venue, with The Jailhouse, a speakeasy-style entertainment center, hosting local bands, open mic nights, karaoke, and other events. The Jailhouse is named for the authentic bars on the windows, a relic from when the building was a jailhouse. The venue is family and pet-friendly, creating a welcoming environment for all. Rock 'N Roll Pinball also participates in the Opelika Songwriters Festival.
