This was by far one of the best pinball playing experiences I have had in a really long time. Not only were there a lot of newer games (Mustang, AC/DC, Star Trek), but there were some newer classics, like Addams Family and Twilight Zone. I must have gone at the right time (Monday night around 10 PM), but played for 3 hours, met the guy who cleaned the pins (name escapes me).

I even put up the #2 high score (80 million) toward the end of the evening.

But, what a great place to check out in Chicago. Every game was 25 cents and most games were 100% playable. There were only a few issues, but nothing that wouldn't get fixed eventually and none affected game play.

Quoted from Chitownpinball:

Best public Shadow in the city. Love this place too.

I had never played Shadow before, but it was pretty fun. I also played Avengers, but it just felt cheap for some reason.
