I'm in Chicago for a few days, don't have access to the internet here though, only on my phone and the pin map is nearly impossible to navigate.
Saw some threads that were pretty old about the same thing, but anybody have any suggestions of locations with a good williams/stern line up?
Biggest right now is probably Enchanted Castle in Lombard has 18 or so. 3rd Tuesday of the month is a tournament.
Gameworks in Schaumberg has 7. 1st Tuesday of the month is a tournament.
There's some places closer to the city itself, but I'm not familiar with them. Only other place I've been to is Emporium in the Wicker Park neighborhood; they have 2-3.
In the city: The Bottom Lounge (best line up currently, 7 pins mostly B/W), Logan Hardware, Emporium (three Sterns). Tomorrow night Headquarters is opening their pinball expansion, which should have around 20 and they should have a good mix of B/W and new Sterns. HQ has everything on freeplay. Bottom Lounge has everything on freeplay on Thursday nights but call ahead because it's in a room that gets rented out frequently.
Other than that there's a bunch of other places with 1-3 pins, but nothing particularly notable that jumps to mind.
Outside of the city other'n the locations already mentioned there's Galloping Ghost.
