    Open allNorth Coast Pinball FAQ Where? 35995 7th Street, Nehalem Oregon. http://g.page/northcoastpins
    What's your deal? I ran out of room for pinball at home, so I opened a pinball lounge! Also I sell kites, because we're on the coast and flying kites is also fun.
    Hours? Check Google to be sure but as of this edit we're open 11:30 to 6 except Tuesday and Wednesday. DMs are open.
    Lineup? https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=15503
    Tournaments? Third Sunday of every month, 5 PM

    Here's a thread for players and guests at North Coast Pinball. We opened earlier this year in Nehalem Oregon, which is less than two hours from Portland. Head west on highway 26, then south on highway 101. Pause at Cannon Beach Chocolate Cafe (https://g.page/CBChocolateCafe) for a cookie and some coffee, then continue south. Pause in Manzanita and buy a gift for your mom at Finnesterre (https://g.page/finnesterre). Continue south for another five minutes and you'll find us where highway 101 makes a hard right on the way to Rockaway and Tillamook. See you here!

    Do you do tournaments? If so you should mention that on your website. If not, you should consider doing so. If you're not sure if you can attract enough players on a given day, you might consider putting the word out and seeing who is interested.

    Definitely planning to do tournaments. It’s near the top of my list for sure, and I think I even have enough local regulars to make it happen. Thanks for the ideas everybody, keep em coming!

    Stumbled across this jewel of a location while on my vacation. Tremendous lineup. Tremendously well-maintained machines. I was fortunate to meet Will (owner) who is a terrific ambassador for pinball!

    Highly recommended!

    was there on Saturday for a bit. first time visiting and i'll surely be back when we're at the coast again. brought $20 in quarters with me only to find out they are on a token system, so didn't get to drop any quarters.

    it was the first pinball-in-the-wild i've played since hunkering down for the pandemic. it was nice to be out, but we ended up bouncing during a period where it was getting a little crowded.

    Thanks everybody. President’s day weekend we were a madhouse! Our hours are 11:30 to 6 except Tuesday and Wednesday and it’s usually pretty mellow by 4 or 5.

    Pretty much every year we take the trailer down to Cannon Beach for a few weeks and have a great vacation. We live in Canada so it has been 3 years since visiting before the land border travel restrictions were lifted. Normally it was also a forced vacation from pool/snooker & pinball which was not welcome.

    Before we left I was browsing the pinballmap and stumbled onto Northwest Pinball. Holy Crap, what a lineup and only 15 minutes from Cannon Beach. My son and I hit the place on our second day and probably made about 6 visits over our time there. It was great. Fantastic lineup and all the machines are in good condition. The only time I saw a machine down was T2. But next to it was an STTNG which was working... that's a thing right?

    I was also surprised to see the increase in machines in Astoria. They probably have 40+ machines in a 15 block downtown area. Actually Astoria seemed to be coming around in general from what we have observed in the past ten years.

    Anyways, thanks again for making this great spot for pinball right in the middle of my vacation playground. See you next year.
