If you don't mind driving 45 minutes, there is.

The last time I was there they had the following machines (from memory)

ACDC LE
LOTR
Metallica LE
MB
SS
TAF
ToM
TZ
WH2O
Embryon
Indianapolis 500

Oh, and make sure you try the Mac and Cheese Grilled Cheese in between games!

But really, the Railroad is the answer. Hands down best location in the area. Also hands down they best craft beer bar in the area.

Pro tip. Add some pork to that Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese.

Yep, Railroad/PinCrossing is the pinball haven in southeast PA. Plenty of nice machines in there. Jay does it for the love of pinball.

man, i wish that was a bit closer... hour and a half for me...

the lobster grilled cheese doesn't sound like it sucks either...

The pinball gallery in Downingtown is another option, a bit of a drive but a nice selection of machines. I believe they are in the process of moving to a new location so look them up and see where they are moving to.

It's worth it if you ask me. My buddy and I make the trip about once a month or so. It takes us about 75 minutes each way.

I don't know if I could defile that sandwich with anything other than a crab cake.

you talked me into it...

plus i know if there is craft beer and grilled cheese, i can drag swmbo along with me to keep me company...

Couple of pins currently at the Rail that Spyder missed:
Kiss, Meteor, Galaxy, TSPP, SM

Also, this Sat would be good day to go if you can, as a fellow pinsider is bringing his TWDLE there for the day.

pinball gallery is not open, they are moving to a new location i believe

Pinball gallery is nice, but as stated previously they are in the process of moving to a new/ larger location. Hopefully they get a place soon since that's really the only close place to me.

Pincrossing is worth the trip. Check out their current beer selection.

consider my arm appropriately twisted...

i may need a designated driver...

edit: showed swmbo that picture... sadly, i'm going to have to limit my consumption because hers will be large...

Don't forget, Liberty Pinball is meeting up on Saturday at Pincrossing!

The jolliest bunch of pinheads and drunks you'll ever meet!

Yeah it sucks that location play in the city is so weak. Pinball Gallery and Pin Crossing are awesome though, just not really Philadelphia.

North Bowl in Northern Liberties usually has 3 games, not always well maintained but playable.

someone mentioned a dark night stern game in a pendel bar. outside the city thou.

that looks like fun...

are crusty old em guys like me allowed? might need some handholding on rulesets...

absolutely you are allowed but i am not going to hold your hand! i will leave that up to Bill.

How recent was this picture? I have never seen Maine Brewing "lunch" this far south, it's fantastic. Ballast Point "sculpin" is one of the best IPA in the 'difficult but not impossible to find' category. Bourbon County Stout has people waiting in line every year when it's released in bottles

If you are still in Aston the Boothwyn Farmers Market has 6 machines, they are kind of hidden down a hallway away from the main shopping area. Last I checked there was a newer Stern (i think xmen) at Duffers Mill on Namaans Creek Rd

Current beer list updated yesterday here:

http://www.railroadstreet.com/BeerList/beermenu.aspx

The owner of the Railroad is a beer head. They consistently have different awesome beers on tap. Doesn't look like Lunch is on tap anymore. Sad I missed it, I got a bottle of it from the Railroad earlier this year, and it really is delicious.

Ectobar gave you the link for accurate list they update. That picture was from Saturday when they posted on their FB page.

I'm a Philly suburbs guy (which is a pinball wasteland), but following this just to remember some of these spots.

Northbowl has TWD, ST, and Avengers.

Their website shows pins, you could contact them.

WHHHHAAAAATTTT. Thank you for the update. I stopped going there when it seemed they were selling off all their pins, and the Star Trek they did have wasnt working properly.

FYI PinCrossing now has an AMH, GOT LE, and KISS LE.

Also I have not been there but I heard Northbowl replaced Avengers with a KISS pro.

Nice, will have to make a trip downtown!!

I was at southbowl a few weeks ago. they had star trek pro and rolling stones. The rolling stones was unplayable. The star trek played well, but they had the volume so low you couldn't here anything. Not enjoyable at all. I registered my comments with the staff and they said they would contact their operator.

Pin crossing last night, FUN time! played GOT , KISS, and AC/DC. also filled my tummy with GOOD food and Beer!

Did you go upstairs for Iron Man and Mustang or are they gone now

Ive been to the pinball arcade on spruce st twice in the last 4 days, the GoT pro plays great!

Sorry... I didn't even know there was an upstairs. Southbowl is a pretty cool place. Bowling, pool, decent beer selection, brick oven pizza... If they could get the pinball machines in order, it would be killer

Another update for University Pinball.

Just got back from some lunch time GOT.

Pin is playing beautifully. Of note, it's set to baby mode, aka it chooses your house for you.
If you weren't aware, you can hold down both flippers before hitting start and you'll be prompted with a screen that says start competition mode.
You get to choose your house in competition mode.

It's the second pro I've played. The other one being at the Gallery. Much prefer the one at UP. It plays much faster, and the tilt is forgiving. Opposed to the one at the Gallery that plays super floaty and tilts when you breath on it.

Thus far I've played 2 pros and 1 LE. The UP pro is currently my favorite of the 3.
Really liking the game. It pains me to say this, but I feel like GoT is the game ST wishes it was. Will be putting some more tokens into it while it's playing so well for sure.

Lastly, if by chance your reading this right now and are in the area. I left 5 credits in it.

That guy who sits on his stool is already playing them and saving his tickets for a flat screen

If you don't mind driving, there's a place called "Pinball Gallery" in Malvern, PA. I went there a few months ago with a buddy, and it's a family owned place where you pay by the hour for all-you-can-play pinball. The owners are exceedingly pleasant, and the games are all lovingly cared for. I can't recommend it enough.

He's got his work cut out for him. I currently have all the high scores, and most of the house high scores.

Also, no ticket dispenser hooked up to it yet. TICKET!

I was there 5 months ago and the Mustang and Iron Man were in great shape (maybe since they are upstairs and nobody knows about them). Because of that Iron Man I now own one. The beer selection was good, I'll have to try the pizza next time I'm there

Might have been stretching the truth a bit. Definitely have greyjoy and possibly 2 others. Your Martel is likely safe... for now

RED can say whatever he wants. If the machine is going to let me slide it, I'm going to.
Only put a few aggressive maneuvers on GoT and got double warnings. Never did tilt it though.

South Bowl update:

IM and Mustang playing nicely.

ST was on. Didn't play it though, so unsure of status.
RS was turned off.

ahh, now i can regain the Grand Champ from you MJD!

You've got your work cut out for you University Pinball players
