Vintage is a term people use when they want to describe something old, but still in great shape. For example, a vintage foosball table would be that table you have at your parent’s home which you use rarely and it is in mint condition.
You don’t want to sell it because it is a memory, but you don’t want to take it with you because you have a new foosball table here. What I like about the word vintage that it doesn’t mean old and broken, but old and made with quality. Those foosball tables you can also call antique or retro foosball table models.

What Makes a Foosball Table Vintage Foosball Table?
They are furniture pieces more than they are real foosball tables which means that they can offer you pretty good gaming experience, but not the best. The foosball table price of these tables isn’t low because they are made to look good and materials used in old foosball tables are special.
They are meant to look good and to catch your guest’s eyes first then offer you a good foosball match. Keep in mind that when you are looking through reviews I made because those tables are tables for a home of a hobby player, not a professional foosball player.
VINTAGE, ANTIQUE & RETRO FOOSBALL TABLE REVIEWS
Bradley Industrial Foosball Table
Bradley Industrial is one great foosball table when it comes to the vintage look. People who made it are especially proud of this table because it represents the industrial style which can be seen in used materials.
I am talking about cast iron parts which are made from vintage machine parts and reclaimed wood. The playing surface of this vintage foosball table is made from volcanic stone and that is something you won’t see that often.
The old-school foosball table itself is pretty impressive because it consists of many interesting details, but I have a feeling that it is more a showpiece than a great foosball table. I am absolutely certain that it is a good table for hobby players but I can’t say the same for professional players. If you are looking for a foosball table in vintage condition, I would recommend this one.
There is one thing I have to warn you about this table. It is a designer piece which means it has a hefty price. I mean, the table looks amazing and the fact that it has the volcanic stone as a foosball field is also pretty incredible but I am not sure whether I would be prepared to spend that kind of money on it.
PROS
- Impressive design
- Volcanic stone playing surface
- Parts made from cast iron
CONS
- Price too high
- Quality
EastPoint Sports Newcastle Foosball Table
EastPoint is a really good brand when it comes to foosball and I have reviewed this foosball table before. This is not one of those refurbished foosball tables, it is an old-style foosball table.
The reason why I am mentioning again is the fact that it is a great foosball table for this topic. It has the vintage look and it is on the market for some time.
The game performance is great because it has adjustable leg levelers, but it is a little light so you might move it during aggressive play. The rods on the table are high-performance which makes it better than other models in this price range.
Since we are already talking about price, this vintage foosball table is not so expensive and I think it is a pretty decent table for the price range. If you are interested in learning more about the EastPoint foosball table brand, or even check out their offer, visit my EastPoint foosball table post.
PROS
- Good design
- Leg levelers
- High-performance rods
CONS
- Quality
Portuguese Foosball Table
This Portuguese foosball table is made from solid wood which means you can expect it to be stable, heavy and durable. This is considered as an antique foosball table for sale.
I like the design because it really captures that “vintage” look on every part of the table. The entire table is handmade so it may have a different color when you see it in person, but the fact that it is completely handmade is a great advantage.
The aluminum players on the plasticized playing field and hand-painted which gives the traditional look. The entire playing field on this antique wooden foosball table is slightly curved so the ball will always be in motion.
I know that this is not a regular vintage foosball table and there is another thing which makes this antique foosball table valued more than others because they are producing 1970’s foosball tables for sale. It is one type of commercial foosball table because it has a Slug coin machine so you can put it in your bar.
PROS
- Impressive design
- Made from solid wood
- Hand-painted players
- Curved playing surface for ball movement
CONS
- Price
- Slug coin machine
Barrington Richmond X-style Foosball Table
There are 3 versions of Barrington Richmond foosball table and the X-style version is a great vintage foosball table.
The X-style legs are the reason why this table looks so vintage, but besides making the table look good, the X area also improving the stability of the table.
The players are counterbalanced which makes the game more interesting and their robotic design provides a good ball control. They are controlled by the steel rods with easy to grip ergonomic handles.
When you look at the overall design of the table and the fact that it is not made from solid wood you can expect a low price and you wouldn’t be wrong. The price is OK for the quality and if you are looking for a nice old foosball table for sale for your home, this one may do the trick.
If you like the style of this old table football model, check out the entire offer by the Barrington foosball table brand in my post.
PROS
- Good design
- Improved stability
- Counterbalanced robotic men
CONS
- End ball return
- Quality
Barrington 56 inch Allendale Foosball Table
Another vintage foosball table you have to see is made by Barrington, like the model above. What I like about this table is the fact that it resembles the Bradley Industrial foosball table I have reviewed as the first foosball table on this list, but it is a much cheaper option.
The cabinet of this table is made of durable veneer and its dark brown color so it will fit in your vintage-styled home. The robotic players on this foosball table are made in the black/gray color combination so they don’t stand out of the playing field.
What I like about this table is that it comes with metal legs and hidden leg levelers so you can be sure that the playing surface will be 100% straight all the time. It has better performance than other models and a much more affordable price so it is one of the best on the list.
You don’t have to be surprised with that because the table is made by Barrington, which is famous for furniture-like foosball tables with good price and good quality. So, check out the Barrington offer in my post about the brand.
