  • Oh snap! I've been waiting for pinball to make a comeback! I knew it had to happen some day...Over the rainbow...Well, as it turns out near the end of Queen St. W. The Pinball Cafe is a new cafe in the west end which features a handful of pinball machines from the 70's and 80's (and one more recent: AC/DC). It's a rather humble place, nothing too fancy, and has a bit of a retro feel. The front of the cafe has a small seating area, then as you venture deeper the cafe bar to the right and then the pinball arcade in the rear. The walls are adorned with the pinball machine back-glass graphics, you have an old jukebox (not sure if it's working), a pinball machine table, and a few other odds n ends sparsely put about. I tried the espresso, not bad considering it's the generic Segafredo stuff. With a large number of local roasters it be nice to see them go with locally roasted beans. They also have a decent assortment of baked snakes and apparently offer sandwiches as well if you are feeling a might peckish. Of course the real feature here is the pinball machines. There are a few classics like Comet and Dark Knight. Some of the machines are feeling the signs of wear and old age but overall they all were playable. I just herd they are getting in Tales From the Crypt and that my favorite table, Twilight Zone, will hopefully be added once money and availability comes into play. Currently the cafe is sponsoring a tourney around the AC/DC table, high scores get a free AC/DC T-Shirt. As people are tiring of the sheer isolation of modern technology it's cool to see a resurgence of old school games that inspire you to go out and socialize with other people over a lil friendly competition. That's the way the pinball arcades use to be, even if you weren't playing in tandem there was always people hanging around interacting with you, bonding over the pinball machines. Pinball is sexy too, all those hip thrusts to further spur the pinball to it's target, you don't get that with video games. To note The Pinball Cafe is also hosting board game nights like a Scrabble-a-thon and so on. I think the place is cool and I hope it really takes off. There is about 50-60 pinball tables I wouldn't mind playing gain.
