Where Do You Play Real World Pinball Tables?

[Captain B. Zarre]

You know, in Big, the main character actually buys a PIN*BOT for his loft...

Anyway, I typically waste my time at Pinball Wizard, maybe I'll meet Nightwing there someday. I also spend time with World Cup Soccer at a Honda dealership, and Twilight Zone at a Newbury Comics.

Oh yeah that's right! I just played one at Pinball Wizard over the weekend for the first time...such an awesome place. Wish I lived closer. The 3 hour drive is worth it though.

I suggest everyone check out Pinside

You can locate many places, and I update when I see more pins.

For Me it's Pinball Wizard, Funspot and Weirs Boardwalk all in NH. Soon I'm going to hit up Salisbury Beach in Massachusetts, I hear there are 20 more tables there and they are open year-round!

Hey, there's a place I know about that's not listed there (Academy Lanes, in the Ward Hill/Bradford area of Haverhill; they've got one pinball, which I think is currently a Stern Iron Man). Maybe I should add it.

Playdium in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. They have seven newer Stern tables in really nice operating shape. I've been to other arcades, but their tables were in very poor condition.

Here is a nice app if you are on Android http:// https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=pinball%20map%20app&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CDgQFjAF&url=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fapps%2Fdetails%3Fid%3Dcom.pbm%26hl%3Den&ei=_00nUqaIOOW0sASKmYGABw&usg=AFQjCNH7F3RW8RyCedivI95MnQXIPb5wkA&bvm=bv.51495398,d.cWc to find real machine locations.

If anyone is in Scotland, there is a great pinball operator here that has machines in "pretty much every HMV in Scotland" (his words). In Glasgow there are 12 of his machines to hand in the city centre. In Buchanan Street (6 tables), personal highlights are Avengers, Spider-man and RFM. In Argyle Street (5 tables), we have Metallica and Stern IJ. And a little indie music store called Love Music has a Tommy. The roster changes pretty regularly. Think I'm pretty lucky... though just over a year ago there were zero machines in the city!
