The reviews speak for themselves, but I figured elaborating on my own experience certainly can't hurt! My friend is a regular at Wedgehead. We've visited a couple of other local places, but after my recent visit here, I'm convinced it's the best and most comfortable place to play pinball in the Portland area. The machines were in phenomenal condition and the variety was perfect. I got to try a lot of new games, and some of my favorites were the 'classic' games that were quite old. They take very good care of their equipment, which isn't something you always see at places like this. Their game room is very clean and has many places to set your drink down without worry of them spilling. The aesthetic is beautiful! It's a comfortable room with lots of great decorations that feels very well put together. LOVE the murals on the walls. I seemed to find something different every time I looked. The dining area has ample and comfortable seating. I didn't get to try the food, but I will update my review when I do. Major props for having clean and private bathrooms as well. I had the Loading Screen mocktail, and it was so good that I ordered a second. I really want to try the other drinks, but good golly, that mocktail is one of the best I've had. Our bartender was very warm and fun to chat with. I got to meet Alan, who is an exemplary business owner that is genuinely friendly and welcoming. It's clear his passion for pinball and good food is the reason their reviews are so high. It's a very well put together place, and the staff is truly what elevates it beyond expectations. The prices, aesthetic, variety of games, cleanliness, easy parking, friendly staff, and reputation for good food are all things designed to make you want to come back, and they have certainly earned my business going forward. June 2026 update: honestly one of the best burgers ever. How?! Absolutely nuts. I’d come here just for the food, honestly. Must try every burger!!!

If you like pinball and the positive culture it can manifest, this is the place in Portland. This is my favorite place in Portland. The bartenders are amazing, the owners are passionate and the regulars are friendly. Free play eliminates the barrier for new players and nasty mean machines keep the pros cursing. Visit. Have fun. Tip your bartender. Oh yeah, the double decker tacos hit too.
