Our Story
Superelectric Pinball Parlor started as buds and former BGSU art grads collecting pinball machines in their third floor studio. With every Third Friday open house at 78th Street Studios they would host ‘freeplay’ pinball along with the paintings, sculptures, and screen printed art. At every event visitors would say "I love this place. I wish you were open more often." and with that in mind they set off to find the perfect storefront.
As luck would have it the right spot was just up the street in the heart of the Gordon Square Arts District. Superelectric Pinball Parlor officially opened its doors to host leagues and tournaments in December of 2016. The kitchen and bar expansion was finally completed in August of 2018 and the vision of Superelectric Pinball Parlor was complete.
Superelectric hosts weddings, birthdays, graduations, and retirement parties. It is perfect hangout for family members of all ages. Superelectric also sells new and used pinball machines and arcade games.

We are also asked to lend our expertise for a number of special venues and exhibits about pinball and/or the history of pinball. Below is a list of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit that we were honored to provide machines for and support. We’ve also worked with the Bonaroo music festival, and the Cleveland Comedy Festival.
