    Nice looks like the classics room is open, wasn’t when I was there in April.

    Always a great place to stop by.

    Quoted from ectobar:

    Love that place. Hadn't heard they went to hourly rate.

    I usually frown upon the hourly rate scheme as these places tend to have beat up games and kids running all over the place starting 4 player games, but at OBX it has the opposite effect.

    The pinball rooms are in the back far from all the kiddie gambling and racing games, and those games are NOT on "pay by the hour." So the only people back in the pinball room are people who actually play pinball, which is to say, not many. It means the games aren't going to get beat to shit, and there aren't gonna be tons of civilians running around making the place unbearable.

    They even have a velvet rope to keep the birthday party crowd out of the pinball rooms! I thought it worked out really well and it's cheap for the pinball you get.

    There is one bank of games on $ play out in the main room, I remember Elvira and Munsters were over there. I think it's probably just because they ran out of room in the pinball area, and it would be too difficult to "rope off" these games and leave them on free play in the main area.

    Can't wait to visit again in the Fall! Glad the games are all ok.

    I like how flippers just moves games into storage and fixes their roof without starting
    A go fund me and asking for money.

    It’s still possible!

    Quoted from DanMarino:

    Does anyone know if the back room at Flippers is back open again? I'm headed to the OBX tomorrow night for a week and hope to play some of their classics in the back room.

    Flippers probably knows:
