Jack Bar is a pinball arcade/barcade venue located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC, owned by John Ehrlich. Operating since at least 2018, it has established itself as a major destination in the NYC pinball community, hosting regular tournaments including Thursday Night Strikes, Stern Godzilla Championships, and league play. The venue faced financial hardship during COVID-19 closures (2020) requiring GoFundMe fundraising, but has since recovered and expanded its tournament hosting role, becoming a primary venue for regional pinball competitions and community events.
