| - I'm a pinball wizard/artist/filmmaker/rockstar (not joking) and stopped in on a Sat night. First off, 5 stars for having 10 or more pinball machines on public play in one building. This is a good thing. Second, to be able to drink beer and play pinball is another thing that goes awesome together like a 35 yr old man and a 20 yr old woman (think about it). We are again reminded that those guys in the 70s and 80s were total geniuses to invent flashing light machines where you actually insert hard cash and it takes it from you in just 30 seconds. Why didn't I think of that?! Maybe it's because I'd feel bad for people....kids.
The bad- the music is number one. TERRIBLE! It was like Hip Hop lame idiot garbage from the 'new' Mtv. And it was loud. Imagine the worse "music" in the whole world - that is what I had to listen to banging out left ramps and nudging into the early 90s classic machines. I don't listen to retard music and got a new lesson in what's out now I guess. If it wasn't godless drunk infidels loudly cursing the Name of God in their drunken idiot public displays of absolute foolishness, then I had to listen to the house's efforts to appear young and hip? I guess? Just do us all a favor and play some 80s and 90s hits in a RETRO ARCADE. Rocket scientists will tell you the same thing. Ghetto gangsta rap and Donkey Kong DO NOT MIX AT ALL. I know! Maybe you can play the new Miley Cirus album while we go back in time... Oh wait! Back in Time! That was a great Huey Lewis song from the pinball days ..and its good!//its even on the Back to the Future pinball machine. Like the kind they have in Abari! Nah, forget it...people won't want to hear that crap.
FINALLY, beer prices. Lame. Too high for what you get. It's too high. $5 for a little cup of draft is more cavalier than what they charged us all in college at the nightclubs and believe me, they were severely cavalier in their drunk college kid ripoff tactics. Nowadays we pay $5 for a mixed drink with liqueur , not watery tasting low alcohol content flavorless 'craft' beer. I get a fish tank filled with Hard core strong margarita at Mi Pueblo all the time for $5. I mean as big as my head!
Overall, it's crowded. Lines to play anything. Music sucks severely. Almost enough to stay home and continue building your own home pinball arcade up without gaming in public. Drunk people are idiots, you can't do much for it.. especially the ones who've never even heard about God or Jesus before. Even if you don't think you were created by a higher Being smarter than you, at least consider the possibility. (If someone shouting to the heavens and using The Lord's Name in vain while you're trying to score on a pinball machine sounds like fun, this is your place. I almost thought I was gonna get struck by a bolt of lightning because I was standing too close to the Hell-bound Morons who thought they'd tempt God as I tried to get a simple row of drop targets .)
Oh, and its $1 to get in to dump $30 on games and beer in 30 min. Dave and Busters ought to adopt this money maker. What a joke/ripoff/slap in your customers' faces. I'm positive I spent more here in dollar per minutes than I did when I just saw Rush's 40th anniversary farewell concert in Raleigh. And I sat near the stage. Did I say how much fun I had? Blast.
