I ended up here because I was looking into a different pinball bar, and found it lacking. First,…read moreno one is coming here for a craft cocktail. The drinks are basic--beers, shots, beers and shots. I had a margarita and it wasn't the best I've ever had--but I came here for pinball, man!
The bartender was attentive and friendly. She told me about the games available and which were newest. I had hoped The Mandalorian and Halloween games were still around, but they had sadly moved on. First, I still had a great time! Secondly, this just shows this venue changes out their games fairly often, and that's a plus for regulars.
I should also mention, for NYC, the drinks are very reasonably priced.
The variety of pinball machines was impressive and super cool. Twilight Zone, Monster Bash, Jaws, Stranger Things, Deadpool, Demolition Man, Elton John, and more.
You can use quarters, but the machines also take one dollar bills, which I found super convenient. I gave the bartender a 20 and she gave me 20 ones, and I had a blast. Each machine has a cup holder for your booze.
I enjoyed each machine for a different reason. I actually enjoyed the Elton John game a lot! And Monster Bash was pretty cool and seemed to let me have a lot of extra games.
You can tell these games are loved and well cared for. Clean and immaculately maintained.
This is a fun, low-key place to check out if you like basic, low-priced booze and pinball.
