    I searched for something like this in the forum, but couldn't find anything. If this is a redundant post, just point me to the correct thread and I'll shut this post down... With that said...

    Pinball is becoming more popular and lots of cities now have multiple options for pinheads. I'm looking for your opinion on the BEST place to play pinball in your city/town. (the place must be open to the general public, not your buddy's house or your basement). Getting recommendations from pinheads rather than some random weirdos on yelp seems like a good idea.

    Here's the general format and the first submission (include pictures of the location if possible):

    City/Town & State: Colorado Springs, CO - USA
    Name of Business: Manitou Springs Penny Arcade
    Type of Business: Arcade (Separate Bar/Food is attached to building)
    Est. # of Machines: 30-40 Pinball Machines plus 50-70 Arcade Machines

    Why I love it: It's a massive arcade (3 different buildings) with lot's of options from EM and SS to modern Sterns. Lot's of retro arcade classics and skee-ball for those not into pinball or arcade. Tons of good restaurants, shops and bars in walking distance from the arcade. Located in an "old west" town, but just a few miles from Colorado Springs and a little over an hour away from Denver.

    Issues: Most of the pinballs are maintained well, but a couple have some weak flippers or other small issues. Parking in Manitou Springs is mostly metered, so be prepared to spend a little bit on parking.

    Quoted from ClarkGriswold:

    I searched for something like this in the forum, but couldn't find anything.

    I think the entire Locations to Play sub-forum serves this purpose. The geography (city, region, etc.) that one is posting about should be right in the title, so that a person viewing the topic list for the sub-forum can pick out the topics that are geographically relevant to them.

    There is a regional thread here for Maryland/DC/Virginia https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/maryland-location-play-club

    My personal favorite is CrabtownUSA in Glen Burnie Maryland.

    Fried shrimp and fries, beer, cream of crab soup... mix of new pins, old pins, and vintage arcade. Between home and work... My favorite.

    There's this place in Burlington Vermont called "The Pinball Co-op". I like playing there. It's run by a pretty cool guy, and they always host leagues and tournaments and he gives away the best trophies.
