Vertigo Pinball, located at 500 East Main Street, Suite 206, in Blue Ridge, Georgia, commenced operation as a dedicated entertainment venue in late 2021 or early 2022. This establishment emerged from the lifelong passion of its founder, Mark, affectionately known as the “Vertigo Pinball Man,” whose personal collection of machines, including classics like Big Deal and Black Knight, formed the foundation of the arcade. Prior to opening the public venue, Mark was also known for coordinating the Atlanta Head-2-Head Pinball League, bringing a deep knowledge and love for the game to Blue Ridge.
As a vibrant pinball arcade and bar, Vertigo Pinball offers a diverse collection of approximately 25 to 50 pinball machines, spanning decades from the 1960s to contemporary models released in 2021, featuring popular titles like Attack From Mars, Deadpool, and Godzilla. Beyond pinball, the venue also includes other arcade games, such as the classic Donkey Kong. Guests access games through a convenient pass system, allowing for hourly or all-day play without the need for coins or tokens. Complementing the gaming experience, Vertigo Pinball provides a selection of craft beers, wines, ciders, and a menu of unique eats, including smash burgers and sandwiches, in a family-friendly environment where children are welcome under supervision. This unique destination serves as a recreational hub for both local residents and visitors to Blue Ridge, offering a blend of nostalgic and modern entertainment.
