Co-owners Darren and Mikki Spohn plan to open a third location of Pinballz Arcade next spring in Northwest Austin. The third gaming haven will be located in the Lake Creek Festival shopping center, 13729 Research Blvd., between Burlington Coat Factory and Hobby Lobby. Darren said the arcade will open in March or April and be similar to Pinballz Kingdom in Buda with activities such as mini bowling. “It’s going to be great not only for families but to host events,” Darren said. “We’ll be able to handle corporate events, and we have a lot more space for that than the original location.” The new Pinballz will have a restaurant, a bar and a stage for live music as well as space to host events. Darren said the new location will maintain an ’80s arcade vibe and have classic video games as well as new games. “We saw strong demographics [in Northwest Austin] and wanted to replicate the success of the classic arcade feel,” Darren said. “We wanted a good, central location to get a mix of demographics.” The Spohns opened the original Pinballz Arcade in 2010 at 8940 Research Blvd., Ste. 100. Pinballz Kingdom opened in September 2014. For more information visit www.pinballzarcade.com.
