The Silverball Cafe

I love this place. Pay one price and play all pinball and arcade games on free play.

For gamers that love the history of pinball and video games this place is tops!! Spent the whole 6+ hours here and would go back again and again. It’s great to read the actual signs above the games and learn a little history. Makes the games more interesting as you play.

It's quite a bit fun,to play old pinball-machines. I personally recall,more than a few of these devices,from circa 1970. And a what a bargain,too. Admissions range,from $10.00 per-person,to $25.00 per-person;for a full day's pass. Gosh,it could actually be cheaper,than back when? As a recall dime,a play. Or,three for a quarter. I'd give it 5-stars,if it weren't for some skee-balls misplaced. Pinball-machines that can't distinguish,one player from two players. Or,whether there are three-balls,or five-balls?

One of the coolest places we found while on vacation. All my siblings loved it and it took forever to get them to leave. The games are so fun, the staff is friendly, and the whole place is very well maintained and clean. It really was our favorite part of our vacation

Only 4 stars because they didn't have a couple of my favourite tables (creature from the black lagoon, fish tails - how dare they!) but there is a massive selection from the earliest mechanicals to the ultra modern horrors. My personal golden era is well represented (Twilight zone, the Addams family) and there's are classic video games and amusements to enjoy. The half day ticket is the one to get. With so much to do in the area it's a good part of a big day out.

Such a great throw back to the early days of the jersey shore

If you like pinball, this is the place to go. Machines going back to the beginning of the pinball era up until now. Also have many other arcade games - skeeball, bubble hockey, rifles, baseball, et al. Pay one price and play as many games until you time runs out. And it's on the boardwalk.

This place is a pinball players dream. Brought back so many memories going to the arcade. So much fun, you could completely lose track of time and spend hours here

This arcade is obviously a labor of love to be conceived. There are pinball machines that go as far back as 1950, video game machines classics that goes all the way back to "Pong". Other games (Skeeball, table bowling, etc.) are also available. Great detail and history of each game are displayed, making it informative. The entrance fee is based on the time you plan to spend there (Half Day works best for me at $15 for up to six hours), once you're inside, it's all you can play, no need to use extra coins. A true entertainment value for pinball enthusiasts and retro video gamers alike.

This is quite possibly the best and most anticipated stop of mine in Asbury Park. You pay a flat fee and get to play AS MANY pinball machines or arcade games as your heart desires. Each machine has a short description as well as posted high scores for different demographics (good luck beating them). Haven't tried the food there, but it looks decent, better than you'd expect from a pinball place.

Fun for all ages. Had a blast with my grandparents and cousins here.

Very awesome place to bring kids family and if you want to get back into old play of aracade days

I had a blast! Need to go more often...makes me feel like a kid again!

This place is so much fun for families or going on a date on the shore. For a few bucks you can play so many interesting and unique pinball games. I also believe they do kids birthday parties. You learn about the history of pinball while you play too. The older ones are fascinating and the pop culture ones are fun and strange. Definitely stop in if you're in the area.

Great way to kill some time, especially if you remember some of these machines from the 70s and 80s!
