Pinpoint — Restaurant in Fayetteville

Go check this place out.

In the fuzzy "before times" that were the Pre-Covid era I was excited a new pinball joint that was coming to Northwest Arkansas. Without checking first as to if the place was open or not, I sauntered down the stairs and was warmly greeted by Bo, the owner of Pinpoint, who informed me they weren't open yet. They were still getting set up. I apologized and offered to come back later, but he invited me to come in and talk about pinball and what he was hoping would be the Pinpoint we know and love today could grow and become.

Come to Pinpoint if you are an enthusiast, or not - there's skeeball after all, a pleasant back patio, not to mention some quality beverages, and some very nifty holiday vibes if you catch the right season.

The machines are very well maintained and Bo has a love for the hobby and he rotates a generous inventory of classic and contemporary machines. Want to know more about the hobby? They will happily chat about it with you.

Drinks are well mixed and like the pinball machines, offer a fresh mix of new tastes or classic vibes. I have a toddler now and don't make it out often, but when I do, Pinpoint is the first...

It’s a unique spot and they go ALL OUT decorating for holidays. It’s festive, friendly, fun and can be laid back. One end is seating, private ish booths, or a corner couch or huge corner table. Other end pinball machines.

Cold water to access for drinking and the cutest little drinks. They are 1/2 size. Perfect for many unique flavors and sitting to chat.

It’s not a go get drunk places. It’s great ever changing menu drinks. No good, pinball machines on one end and a cute outside sitting area.

It is all downstairs below the street. So if you are disabled park in the back. There is a locked gate. Probably good to call the bar or message online to let them know exactly when you will be at the gate. Still a few stairs in the back. A wheelchair would be hard here. Canes or such in the...

Went for pre-Halloween drinks and absolutely LOVED the vibe!

We only played skeeball but apparently the pinball machines are rotated according to theme and season, the work that goes into the decor is really incredible!

Every booth is themed from The Shining, to Chucky, Texas Chainsaw etc, we picked Stranger Things naturally ❤️

The barmaids were in full on Halloween mode and were so pro and attentive. We got spritzes but they have Halloween drinks and frozen machines as well.

I’d suggest getting there early if you want to take in the decor with fewer people, there’s a backyard patio as well.

Wish I could go back for Halloween but I’m definitely putting it on my...
