Hawaiian fusion fare, craft beers, and vintage pinball machines
"A Hawaiian food and arcade game spot in the Mission, San Francisco, ceasing operations with plans for a smaller future operation." - Paolo Bicchieri
"A Mission-Bernal pinball bar with lots of fun beer, Outer Orbit’s menu skews Hawaiian. A great item to order would be the gochujang chicken wings, 10 or five pieces to an order, with a creamy dipping sauce." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
"Outer Orbit is both a pinball bar and a contemporary Hawaiian restaurant, serving dishes heavy on the fusion aspect. Its riff on lomi lomi features trout instead of salmon, plus guacamole, taro chips, and pickled shallots, while the chicken sandwich features chicken brined in a shoyu-buttermilk marinade, then fried and topped with togarashi and gochujang sauce." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"Outer Orbit, the fun pinball bar with Hawaiian-inspired snacks, started checking for proof of vaccination on July 29, as reported by Fun Cheap SF. “As much as we don’t want to feel like Robocop,” the bar quips on Instagram." - Lauren Saria
"Pinball wizards of all ages go wild for Outer Orbit, which usually combines Hawaiian food (spam musubi, loco moco, shaved ice), nine pinball machines, and tropical-leaning beers (adults only). The vibe is casual and lighthearted, with the after-school family crowd giving way to a more mature mix of patrons in the evening." - Caleb Pershan, Becky Duffett
