Williams, 1990Me and my three pinball machines are moving to Louisville (from New Hampshire) next month. Bought a house in the Highlands. Looking forward to building a dedicated play space in the basement. What's the local pinball scene like there? Looking forward to the move!

Just moved away from Lousiville last September after spending 3 years there (I also lived in the Highlands). I really miss it - a lot of great people and places to visit. When you get there, please help yourself to some wings, a quesadilla and a pint of the pale ale at Cumberland Brews. I used to go there at least 3 times a week...
Maybe there's a big scene I'm not aware of, but there doesn't seem to be a huge pinball presence in the area. I'm not aware of any leagues. There are scattered locations that may have a pin or 2 in various states of disrepair.
The main permanent attraction is Zanzabar that always has several pins, but don't plan to go on an evening. They'll likely have a band playing and you'll have to pay a cover charge for the pleasure of entering so you can pay to play the games...
Then there's the annual Louisville Arcade Expo that usually has a lot of pins and hosts tournaments.
Other than that there are some local collectors that you'll run into if you do any buying, selling, or trading. Pinsider Madpole has hosted a couple parties.
Great pinball scene. I lived there for about a year and a half and unfortunately didn't have time to enjoy it with my work schedule 
I think MimaiRedSkin meant to mention the name of the place Zanzabar in Louisville. Little barcade that is awesome to hang out at. They have a ton of games and I had heard a rumor there was a pinball hangout opening up near there as well. They actually just had an unveiling party of WOZ. Check them out, they are on Facebook. They have tournaments every Wed in the evening if memory serves correct. Pretty cool guys. Oh and the quesdillas are quite delicious.
Every year in March there is the the LAX - Louisville Arcade Expo. I have been the last 4 years and it is a great time.

Yes Yes, Zanzabar is great and so is the owner Antz. He is a real pinhead and it's great what he is doing putting some great machines out for the public to play. But seriously, I thought the beer and food at Cumberland Brews was worth mentioning more than pinball.. haha
Antz is awesome, the only person I have ever been envious of. He's never not smiling and he is always playing a pinball or an arcade and drinking a beer.
