2 weeks ago I attended the NW Pinball & Arcade Show in Tacoma, WA. I had heard about the Seattle Pinball Museum and Shorties, but since both were in Seattle and the show in Tacoma, I didn't plan any extra days in my visit to 'travel around'. Turns out there are quite a few more barcades, beercades and other pinball locations I could (and probably should) have visited. To avoid such a mistake for future trips: which barcades / beercades do you recommend?
Ground kontrol - Portland Oregon
Blairalley - Eugene Oregon
Coin Jam - Salem Oregon
Dorky's - Tacoma Washington
If you come to Colorado plan on staying a couple of weeks just to see some of it.

Many others plus tons of private collectors with diverse collections that will open their doors to you. Myself included.
We even have an outdoor campsite tournament in the mountains every year, Dory Hill.
Someone mentioned Los Angeles. Go to Pins and Needles and meet the coolest lady in all of pinball, my friend Molly Atkinson.

Sorry if I went off topic a bit but the pinball community in Colorado is alive and vibrant.

Quoted from Mr68:Someone mentioned Los Angeles. Go to Pins and Needles and meet the coolest lady in all of pinball, my friend Molly Atkinson.
You're more likely to find her at 82 these days, she told me she's there most nights.
I'd add Emporium in Chicago this this list.

Thanks 
That may indeed take a couple of weeks of touring 
I guess Logan in Chicago and Modern Pinball in New York should be on my list as well. Any others recommendations?
Chicago Emporium
Stop in and See over 60 classic arcade games and around a dozen pinball machines.
They have a very nice inventory of games (I know I sold them most of the inventory over the last 2 years)
I believe they have about 29 bears on tap and all the games ar eon token play.
They Currently are open on Milwaukee Ave in Wicker Park, and will be opening a second location in Logan Square which is just north on Milwaukee a few mintues drive.
Dan and Doug are the two brothers that own it.
