This also coincides with a nice and cheap happy hour ($2 domestic drafts & $3 you call its).

    Lineup:

    AC/DC Premium
    Congo
    No Fear
    Transformers Pro
    X-Men Wolverine LE

    Ya make the trip, his place and then my place. Or maybe reverse order you can play all his kick ass pins and then slum it at my place with all the "B" titles.

    You're not kidding. Colorado in general seems to be the pinball 'place to be'. (And I thought living near the 'Pinball Capital of the World' would mean something...........but it doesn't, sadly, outside of the annual Pinball Expo) Sigh...

    Nice, I just moved to Denver from another hotspot, Portland, OR. I'll head up to check it out this weekend. Sounds like the music is classic hip-hop? Even better.

    Seeing more of these pop up. Is this a chain Drew??? There is a Barcade in NY, Philly, Jersey City, Brooklyn and I hear one in Chicago now as well as this one in Boulder.

    #23 10 years ago

    They are everywhere now. This isn't a chain. Local bar owned by one guy.

    #24 10 years ago

    I'll be out there in early January and really looking forward to coming by to play. Any specials for out of staters visiting?

    will do!

    Looking forward to some time on MET, ST, and WOZ. I assume you are always running latest code and hopefully they will each have some updates by then.

    Yes sir. LED kits, shakers, latest code, etc

    Met needs code bad. We just ordered the brightening kit for WOZ, so that should be a nice bonus.
