    The barcade here is $1. Problem is the mixed drinks are $9. When they opened you couldn't get near the place on the weekends but business looks down to me. If you gouge people on drinks AND the games are $1 it makes us want to play pins at home then go out later. If their games were .50 they would make a lot more money in the long run.

    Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:

    9 bucks for a mixed drink? Jeesh. Plus a tip, 10 bucks a drink. Freakin buy your own booze and stay home and play your pins.

    Exactly. Let's just say my better half is probably good with one at that point then we go to another place (no pins though) and drinks are way better. At $1 a game at home we probably paid off several of my machines.

    If the game has short ball times it's not just worth it to us especially on 3 ball games.
    We play for fun not score/points and would rather have 5 ball games with no ball save.
    $1 for 2 minutes we will rather stay home and play. Lot less rules at home.
