We stopped in to flipside on a Tuesday and had a fantastic time! We had a couple drinks and split a veggie pizza that was delicious. We didn't realize that Tuesday was tournament night, but they were still lots of pinball machines to play on! The service was very helpful and we had a great time watching the tournament take place. read more

Very cool hidden gem in Memphis if I do say so myself!!! Crazy backstory, I actually ended up going inside of this place after a photoshoot gone terribly wrong. I had been looking for a minute and never went so the night of the photoshoot I just thought "Why not call Flipside and see if I could shoot for a few minutes" and to my surprise they said YES! Going inside I was amazed by the inside! It's not too big not too small, the lighting is so cool and vibrant, staff is sooo kind AND the bar can some great food and drink options! I ended up getting a Caesar salad and a fruit loop shooter!!! Yummy lil pick me up after a terrible photoshoot before but they saved the day! I got some really cute pics (the rest are posted to my IG @AkeviaKing) and left happy and full! Thank you all again so much!!! read more

Flip Side - Me looking super cute in Flipside's arcade area - Arcades Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

First timers here!! Our family was able to visit Memphis, TN for Christmas and while everything else was closed, we passed a nice arcade bar that was open. FlipSide! Let's start by saying this location was amazing; Family-friendly; the environment was comfortable with great lighting. There may have been about 20 people max which gave the opportunity to really enjoy. The location isn't huge but was super nice. Pinball is a classic so for my child to enjoy this it was epic. And THEY STILL HAVE TOKENS!! Other great features: tv with the sports games on, dart boards, clean bathrooms, outdoor seating on the patio, and great drinks at the bar. The only reason this location received a 3-star with such an awesome experience was due to the food. We ordered Quesadillas since they were out of several menu items and they were extremely salty. I mean extremely! Presentation was nice & food was fresh; but when we notified the cook... he offered us ranch dressing for it tacos to "mello-out" the salt because he had made such a huge batch of meat he can't remake them. I wouldn't yet say "eat before you come" because I will come back to update the review and just hope Santa dropped the salt off his sled when flying thru. Otherwise, this place is a must try. read more

One of my favorite bars in Memphis! Great vibe, fun games, and an overall good time to hang with friends. Would highly recommend!

Flip Slide is a great spot to bring friends to. They have tons of games to play like pinball, pool, and darts. Definitely a unique spot worth stopping by AT LEAST once to enjoy the fun and colorful atmosphere. Fair warning though, it can get pretty busy and there is limited seating. Plenty of people deal with this by holding their drinks and hanging around the games so you might have to navigate a crowded space depending on the night. They do have an outdoor back patio. The food is a step up from traditional bar food. All the expected favorites are there. The Nachos were very good and the large portion was great to set on the table and share with the group. Beer selection was great and varied! Make sure you bring coins or cash if you want to play the games. For parking I would suggest just parking in the Crosstown garage and making the short walk over. I would say you come for the experience more than anything. The food is good but it wouldn't be enough on its own to draw me in and although the games are fun you do have to pay for them each and that can add up fast with drinks and snacks. read more

Love this place! It's such a cool vibe, the music is always great and the food is stellar! It's such a great date night and one of my favorite spots to take people from out of town. It's definitely blown everyone's minds that we've brought here. One of my favorite gems of Memphis! read more

I've had their tacos at late night, lunch, and dinner & they've been consistent . Huge plus that they are open late. I was hooked on the beef tacos for a while and the bartender told me the Barbacoa was her favorite, so I finally tried it and I was def missing out. I haven't switched since. Try it on corn tortilla, tooThe queso is great.. Spanish rice wasn't my favorite but the cilantro rice was much better. Drinks are standard. The vibe feels like it could be in midtown. This seems like a hidden gem. I hope they stick around bc The food is really good. Staff is very friendly as well. read more

My mom was able take us to this place three times while I was on vacation. The boys got their money's worth with the pinball machine. The ceasr salad was to die for and i don't even eat salads like that. The drinks are a hit or miss depending on the day and night shift. The service was quick even with them doing a separate party. Very laid-back chill place. read more

This is a fun place to go for trivia night, or to get some drinks and play pinball. The food was typical bar food, but nothing sensational. If you're looking for a unique spot to go with friends or a date, this is it! read more

Owmed by the same people as Growlers on Poplar, Flip side has a fun atmosphere, nice rotation of pinball machines, changjng every few weeks, I think I remember. Some take two tokens, some take five, which feels very expensive for a turn at pinball. (1 token=$0.25) The drinks were good, and the bar service was surprisingly fast considering there was a tournament and lots of bodies to serve. The patrons were varied, teens to seniors, from all parts of town. This would be a great space for a private birthday or retirement party. I wish they had pricing for events on their web page. read more

Went on a weekday, late afternoon. Light crowd of varying ages. We didn't try any food but our beers were cold & they have a good selection. One in our group had the Jack & the Giant Peach bourbon cocktail & liked it very much. Friendly, casual atmosphere. Service was very good. Lots of fun playing all the various pin ball machines. Also played pool. We enjoyed it & will return. read more

I haven't actually stopped by to check out Flip Side but my local Memphis friend told me it's a "Must Do"! Sounds like my kind of place with nostalgic Pinball Machines and gaming tournaments is just Cool! Cant wait to go read more

Wow! What a unique experience. Great food, service, and ambiance, fantastic staff, ice cold beer and a very, very good time. To quote The Terminator, one of my favorite pinball machines, "I'll be back." Most definitely. read more

Food decent, slow service, prices decent except for the pinball, which seemed expensive for a game (depends on machine). Overall a decent experience but would not go out of my way to go back. read more

I hosted a 40th birthday surprise party for my husband here. It could not have gone better. Everyone we worked with was so nice and accommodating! All our guests had a great time. Food was great, bar service was great! Highly recommend!! read more

UPDATE: Call before you go! Unfortunately the past two times I've gone, I've been greeted by a sign that says they're closed for a tournament. No post on FB or anything to give a heads up. Those two times, I had new perspective customers. The tournaments may keep the regulars coming back but new customers won't try again if they see a sign saying they're closed all the time...especially if they're driving a good distance to enjoy some pinball. read more

Neat little bar in midtown. Typical bar drinks (no drink menu) and a food menu. There's pinball, pool, and darts to play and a few TVs throughout to catch a game on. Cool atmosphere but a little overpriced. Park in the crosstown garage and walk over as there is likely to be no street parking. read more

Really fun spot with a mix of vintage and modern pinball machines. They also have a pool table and darts. Pretty much any local beer you want, they have. And you can't beat the barbecoa tacos read more

I love the concept of this restaurant and the pinball machines keep me coming back, but the food does too and that is why I wanted to write the review. I have had some amazing hamburgers at Flip Side. So good I brought others into try, but the last two times (over a course of a month) the burgers have not be the standard as in the past. Most recently last week the order was completely wrong and the bun was huge but the hamburger patty was tiny like would fit in the palm of small child's hand and it did not taste like their usual which is amazing. The bartender told us the lady working in the kitchen does not speak much English, but I felt that was not a good reason and improvements could be made. We love this place and I really want to brag about their food especially the hamburgers. Please bring back that amazing hamburger and sandwiches! read more

The pinball games are fun. The food is not the greatest. They had a better menu before the current one. The current menu is basic burgers and pizza which there is a ton of around nothing special. The service is slow and you have to order at the bar which is inconvenient when there isn't a line or section for ordering you just have to stand between the stools to get their attention. The food was slow coming out to the table. It isn't that loud considering all the pinball machines being played which is a plus. Won't really consider going back but okay to try for the pinball. read more

Not a friendly bartender and doesn't care about growing the business. Definitely won't be back to this hole bar! read more

Flip Side - Arcades Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The atmosphere was very fun. Aesthetic was also fun because of all the different pinball machines. We sat at the bar and the service was pretty good starting off. But after one drink was ordered, it took a while for anyone to ask for our food order or give us an eye to catch. We ordered the guacamole and chips. The chips were a bit stale; the guacamole wasn't as seasoned to my liking. The drinks were a bit syrupy. We did go when there was a pinball tournament so it was a bit crowded. I would give this place another try on a weekday. read more

Great pinball bar!!' They rotate the games and keep them in really good working order and the atmosphere is excellent. For anyone that loves pinball this is the place. They also have local beer on tap and a bunch of bottle/can options. read more

Service was terrible. After waiting waiting half an hour for a soda for my friend's daughter, the bartender got an attitude when I tried to flag her down. The beers were completely flat and almost undrinkable. I won't be going here again, and I definitely don't recommend it, if you like places where people actually know how to run a bar. read more

Came with my little brother just to check it out. Ended up being an amazing place! The shorter guy behind the bar made the best lemon drop shot I've had in my life after losing in pool! read more

My Friend and I went to The Flip Side Sunday Oct 2, 2022 because we saw it had the old pinball machines. We had the Chicken Nocho's and they where very good enough for both of us. We played several games and they where excellent. We had a great time and will be back. read more
