Some great news for Alt Brew fans.

They plan to be open 5 days a week starting next Tuesday.

They should also have pizza options from the pizza over starting very soon.

Hours will be T, W, R, F, Sa 3pm till ???

More opportunity for more pinball and good locally brewed beer!

#302 8 years ago

I would love to see some pictures.

Nice line up at pooley's

Thanks for the links & picture. We'll have to visit when we are in the area.

#306 8 years ago

Please do. Let me know when you are in the area and I can try to swing out for a game of 2.

If you are through during a monthly tourney they are always a great time!

Got a chance to stop over to Schwoegler's Saturday early afternoon to play some pinball. Nice line up but dissapointed that all the bowlers had all their "luggage" and themselves camped out in front of the games!! No chance to play them We did play in the bar and could play all the games without a problem . Nice to see the Strikes and Spares Gottlieb there. Perhaps Schwoegler's could place a theatre like rope with a 3 foot space between the rope and front of the games so they can be played. Just a thought...

Quoted from chad:

that is unfortunate. They do occasionally have big bowling tournaments there and tend to take over when they do. We have tried to work with the management to make sure the bowlers provide room for the pinballers (the bowlers have an enitre locker area to store their bags so not sure why they always take over the whole concourse). Please feel free to just ask the manager if you can have the bags moved and I am sure they will take care of it.

My appologies. They only have a few big bowling events each year and seems you caught one of the big ones.

#310 8 years ago

next time you are in town, be sure to stop over at Pooleys (4 games including Full Throttle, SST, MET, and TWD currently) and AltBrew (5 games including DM, JM, JBOT, AMH, and Bally Atlantis currently).

#311 8 years ago

Yes we missed amh and can't wait to see and play Full Throttle!

OK. Full Throttle tomorrow.

My apologies as well, Chad. Like Whysnow said, when they have large bowling tournaments they usually happen on Saturday from Jan-Mar as these are this is big tournament time. Due to the fact that the games are all situated on the concourse, people and equipment can get in the way. In the past, I have actually slid bags and stuff out to play. If people are hanging out there, we can't really move them. I'll bring it up next time I speak with them. Thanks for stopping by, and I'm glad you were able to find the ones in the bar.

#314 8 years ago

Thanks Sean and Hilton ! There is plenty of time to play and I will be back.

hit me up when you are coming back up and to the eastside and I'll try to shoot out to meet up.

#316 7 years ago

Spiderman VE landed at Schwoegler's on Monday! Sweet game with some great new callouts, video and artwork package. Stop on out and check it out for yourself! Star Trek was pulled off the floor, but don't worry! It's just in for a complete shop job and will rejoin the line up within a month all shiny and fresh!

#317 7 years ago

For all you EM players out there, Pop A Card (Gottlieb 1972) has been added to the lineup in the bar at Schwoegler's for just $.25 for 5 balls. Tough but really fun add-a-ball to keep you on your toes!

#318 7 years ago

That also makes for 13 pins at one location and 23 pins now out on route in Madison!

#319 7 years ago

No shout out for the nice High Speed that was just put out at Schwoeglers.

#320 7 years ago

D'oh! There's also a really sweet original High Speed in the bar, that took the place of Road Kings! I know you're all disappointed about it leaving, but something had to give! This particular one was previously Mike's, and is both a great looker and player!

Isn't Garrett's BK2K looking a little tired?

Excited to say that Ghostbusters Pro will be available to play starting tonight at Alt Brew around 6pm! Stop out a little earlier and you'll likely get to see it getting setup. Or, you can play one of the other 5 games that are out there!

#330 7 years ago

Ghostbusters is all set up and rocking. Initial impression after 10 games of play testing is that this is a loaded game even in the pro version, initial code is pretty fun and has room to expolore, and Stern quality of the build (minus the typos on pf text, WTH; LOL) seems to bee pretty good on this one!

Plus several dozen other games. Thanks to the ops for putting these games out!

At the children's museum, Rancho has been replaced by a Rocky and Bullwinkle with a practically black playfield

#335 7 years ago

Managed to make it to three locations on my trip:

1) Children's Museum, the R&B&F had the requisite short legs, a filthy playfield, super weak flippers, and worked fine otherwise. Would be cool if Madison Pinball could approach the museum to do a playfield clean and wax and flipper rebuild, would improve the gameplay immensely and give all the kids who play a much better pinball experience.

2) Alt Brew, amazing lineup of games. Played Atlantis for the first time, I like the classic feel to it, but maybe too easy, I rolled it on my third or fourth play and I'm not that good. Maybe lucked out on the 4M progressive jackpot? On the flip side, Demo Man was brutally hard with the posts all set to wide open. Even had the left habitrail dump the ball into the outlane a couple times, guess you're supposed to nudge on that?

3) Schwoeglers, great lineup, love to see EMs on location, Pop a Card was really fun.

#336 7 years ago

Glad you enjoyed the games that Madison Pinball has out and maintains. We have nothing to do with the game at the childrens museum and have made multiple offers to help out. They have someone that supposedly maintains them?? I will try to reach out to them again to see if they will take on some help.

#338 7 years ago

This is out on the west side? I remember going out near there to play laser tag, ha. Disc golf at Elver Any time we could. I was mostly an east side guy, don't remember much pinball ever, but any given bowling alley always had something.

#339 7 years ago

yup, this is the Madison west side location. Over near the west towne mall; 1 block east of it.
Large bowling alley with big concourse and full bar. Games on both the concourse and in the bar area.

Hey everyone, it's officially been 2 years since we added the first 4 pinball machines at Schwoegler's! Where did all that time go?? Line-up at that time was AC/DC, Tee'd Off, Space Jam and DE Simpsons. Things have certainly changed since then, as we there are now 8 games out on the concourse and 4 in the bar area.

To celebrate, we're going to be putting all concourse games at $.50 per play ALL DAY on Tues and Wed this week when paying with PayRange! This includes GoT Prem, Full Throttle, South Park, Iron Man, Hobbit, SMVE, ST Pro and Indiana Jones. Bar games are already at $.25 and $.50 (as always).

Huge thanks to everyone for the support over the years! It's truly been a pleasure meeting so many great new people and hanging out with regulars who enjoy these games as much as we do! Looking forward to what the future holds!

Was just at schwoelgers. Nice line up. Love that indiana jones. Been looking for my first widebody game. Its between ij and tz. Ive been able to play tz a bunch near me. But i havent been able to get soild play on a ij. Except at shows and thats ify. So it was good to play a nice example in the wild. Maybe check out the path of adventure it didnt want to go left. But nice playing ij. I bet you got 10 dollars from me. Youll see. Sorry i couldn't stay for the monthly tonight. Awsome you put full throttle there too at 75 cents a game. Great job putting great games on route. @the madison pinball group
