Tell your date you’re flippin’ it old school at Superelectric Pinball Parlor, the Gordon Square Arts District throwback where you can battle Norse Gods or zip into outer space for little more than a few quarters. The splashy retro arcade wears its inspirations on its walls with painted illustrations of carnival shooting games to vintage Cracker Jack merch. Before nabbing $5 worth of tokens, take a tour. Superelectric’s 25 machines are switched out regularly from a collection of more than 100 restored pinball machines, rifle games, shuffle bowling and more. “There’s always something new to see in our place,” says co-owner Ben Haehn. “It’s just an interesting place to let your eyes go wild.” Challenge your boo to a game of Dragon, a beginner-level 1970s permanent installment where players knock the beasts over with pinballs. Loser buys the Ohio City Soda. 6500 Detroit Road, Cleveland, 440-822-1011, superelectric.tv
Before: Fuel up for your blast to the past down the street with a pharmacy-era frothy, fizzy New York Egg Cream at Sweet Moses Soda Fountain & Treat Shop. 6800 Detroit Road, Cleveland, 216-651-2202, sweetmosestreats.com
