Quoted from MapleSyrup:There is a spot in London... http://www.chief-coffee.com/
I think it could work. I'm a huge coffee fanatic, and a total pinball nerd, so it's a dream place for me!
However, I think MOST people hit up a coffee shop to relax, or chat with friends, and the noise of pinball is counter to that.
Agreed; one potential idea would be to make the games your draw (e.g. name the place "Retro Buzz" or something and set up in an environment where you try to draw office workers like me in a downtown core to your place for lunch or whatever.
But I am still not wild about that idea. Coffee is tough; it is one of the beverages that is even more prevalent than liquor. Being EVERYWHERE vs. almost everywhere...
