Until about a week ago (July 6, 2016) The new management which is run by Neil Cope has brought back the CROWD!!! As I sat back and looked at the older firemen faces in aww of the people...

One Friday night, we drove by and we decided that was the night to try it out. We were so glad that…read morewe did because it was tons of fun. You're so shocked when you go in there just how many pinball machines they have. Not only that but they have machines from the early 20th century and every decade until close to the present. It was near to see the earliest games and how games have evolved over time. It was also nice to see some old favorites and games fashioned after old tv shows and movies. We had a great time playing all the games and meeting other people who like going there and playing. We told friends so we can hopefully all go back there together.

I was minding my own business, playing a machine (which had issues, but I'll get to that later). Get a load of this-- the owner comes up to me and asks "why are you beating on my machines"? Keep in mind all I was doing was spamming the flippers to slow down the kickout from the scoop and I did a slap save. Literally EVERY SINGLE pinball player spams the flippers for various reasons. If you want to own a pinball place, don't get mad at people for doing it. It is VERY common. And then he has the nerve to bet me 100 dollars he can beat me. I politely shake me head, and then he calls me a smartass. What kind of owner would do that? The owner is just one of many problems though. Almost EVERY SINGLE game here has an issue(s). I get he has 300+ machines but atleast have more than 1 person on staff to fix the machines. Waste of money. Go to literally any other pinball place in Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Pinball Dojo, the Rezzanine, and literally any other place is better than this one.

My wife and I went here on a tour. We're looking for a country club to join. It was between this…read moreone and Greensburg country club. I know why Westmoreland country club only has 400 members and Greensburg has 1200 members. The prices are absolutely ridiculous. Basically you pay $20,000 a year for you and your family. And the place looks like it came straight out of the 60s. it smells absolutely horrible in there. As soon as you walk in, you get a punch to the face of mothballs and embalming fluid. I don't know why. I won't lie. The woman who toward us was super nice. And the manager who was a real nice guy, he gave us coffee and tea. But some of the things I didn't agree with. And some of the things that I didn't agree with was if I wanna go golfing, I'm free and I get a cart for free but if I wanna bring my brother who wouldn't be part of my membership, he's $325 to play and he has to pay an additional $35 just a ride in the golf cart. That is absolutely stupid. I've been a member at country club before. And a lot of them do not do that. They say they have a restaurant but it's not even open yet. And they're closed two months out of the year. Every country club that I've ever been a member at they're open all 12 months. They'll just have one day a week that they're closed. But you can still golf on that day. I do not recommend this place. This place needs to be tore down and start all over again. They need to modernize and they need to get rid of that funky smell. Most of the people that go to Westmoreland country club are 50 years or older. Greensburg country club they said most of their members are between the ages of 21 and 40. They do have some that are older and they also have a younger group of kids that are legacies off of their parents, but also are really in the golf. And when you want to golf with a family member not in your package it's $40 and the cart comes with it for free. That's more reasonable. Their pub looks so much better than Westmoreland and their dining room is beautiful.

We had the ceremony downstairs, went upstairs for cocktail hour in a small space with a bar and a fairly sizable balcony, and then went back downstairs for dinner so be mindful that there's a lot of stairs when picking out your shoes. The downstairs had a lot of natural light. I thought our mushroom soups were delicious with the puff pastry on top. The salads were decent as salads go with apples and pecans. I chose the salmon entree and the salmon itself was fine and could've been more flavorful but it at least had cooked cherry tomatoes on top to give it some flavor. The mashed potatoes were decent but the asparagus seemed to be just steamed and served bland without any seasoning. My bread was really hard and difficult to cut open and bite into. The staff we interacted with was nice.!

Bingo is the name of the game, and those who don't get there early could get shut out. "I play bingo wherever I can, and I like it here a lot," said Mary Anne Fischer. She's not a club member, but you're not required to be for bingo games. "They're so nice here, and everyone acts like you're part of the club," Fischer said.

I learned a little something about culture here. Not Slovak culture, but bingo fanatic culture, aka…read moregambling addiction. The space is wide open and airy with lots of long tables, each seating one to three players - many players took up entire tables with their excessive quantity of bingo cards, wide variety of dabbers (often in a specifically designed tote bag), and in some cases, an array of good luck charms. Bright fluorescent lights illuminate the scene and a balcony with overflow seating was our vantage point for observation (and play). Their website says they have a smoking floor and a non smoking floor, so I was imagining a darker smoke filled social hall, but there is now no smoking allowed and I soon realized that bingo is not a social game. With my one bingo card, I had twelve boards to keep up with (twelve is the minimum for play = $12), and let me tell you, I had a hard time staying with it - they call them out fairly rapidly! Chatting and joking with my friend was hardly possible without blowing our game. The food was super limited, low quality, mostly packaged junk. No alcohol is served. There is only one reason to attend and that is for the hope of winning money. There was an interesting buzz in the room toward the end of each game, like the group had a psychic (more like experienced) knowledge that bingo was about to be called. This collective murmur felt like a communal expression of frustration and anxiety. We try so hard, come so close and rarely succeed. The demographic of the room is statistically disadvantaged peoples. In addition to bingo, dealers on the floor sell other sorts of game tickets, like paper slot machine cards. The psychological exchange between the dealers and the players was like a crack deal; the dealers knew many of the players, knew when to come around, what to say and used lingo an outsider would not understand. There was an antsy desperation to win among the addicted, me, I just wanted to get outta there. With a packed house, there is no doubt someone is winning, that is the Slovak Catholic Sokols and their beneficiaries. As for the venue, although full of characters, it has no character itself - it is one of those big quick construction metal buildings.

My family and I recently went here for something fun to do on a Friday afternoon, and I guess the…read moresaying "Time flies when you're having fun" still holds true here. The name tells all; it's a church converted into an arcade. If you grew up Catholic, the initial impression is one of "should I be doing this?" But you quickly get past that once the nostalgia of instantly recognizable arcade titles floods your vision.  This place isn't just for pinball either. While there are a ton of them, they also include all the old school shooters and multiplayer side-scrollers that made my childhood memorable.  I remember thinking "We'll be in and out of here in about an hour", but that couldn't be further from the truth. Your admission gets you unrestricted access to the games here, meaning that if you have an unresolved grudge with one of these quarter-eating machines of yesteryear, you're in luck. You literally feel like you have a Game Genie (yes, I'm really dating myself in this review) for every arcade machine when you repeatedly press the button to give you in-game credits. My daughter and I took on Krang One, Shredder, and the Foot Clan in a classic TMNT game, and ruthlessly chewed through credits to come out on top. Finally! After all of these years... VICTORY! At the altar, errr... the back of the building, there was a local brewery, which served up some tasty adult beverages. I wasn't sure if I should bow or kneel, but I pushed through my instincts and did neither. The downstairs doesn't just hold the bathrooms; it's also hides some additional games to be played. If consoles were more your thing, they have those too!  We had a chance to talk to the manager while we were there, and his passion for the place was instantly recognizable.  All-in-all, this was a great bonding experience for me and my kiddos, and we're already talking about going back and which of my childhood games we're going to conquer next. See you there.

If you come during regular business hours, it is one set cost to enter. Wye brewery is on site which is SUPER good! There is a parking lot across the street that is free. Since we rented the space, we were able to bring in food. There are tables set up on the one floor that you can eat at. This is such a fun spot and the fact that it is in an old church makes everything so nice to look at with the stained glass windows. We will 100% be back! I highly recommend you check it out!
