Place is called Broadway Bar and Arcade and is just getting started. I stopped in the other day and he had about 12 pins and 20+ arcade games. Some of the pins I remember are KISS, TWD, MB, RFM, Mustang, TOTAN to name a few.

Quoted from Betelgeuse:I'm going to have to check this out next time I'm out that way.
The pins that I played were in great condition and without issues! If I am correct the Pins are provided by Chris from the Bradish St. Parlor in Pittsburgh (Southside) which would explain the condition as he is known for taking great care of his machines!
Quoted from MJW:So it looks like Chris from Bradish is also involved in Broadway. Great guy. Looking forward to checking out Broadway.
Chris can correct me if I am wrong but I believe Chris is only involved in supplying the pinball machines to Broadway, which is great as he is known for keeping the machines in great working order!
Being in Mckeesport means you're a short drive away! It's certainly worth the trip!!!
Quoted from cjmjmm2006:Hi Vince, I am involved in all aspects at Broadway. Some of the vintage arcades are mine as well. This is really a group effort between Ben and I. We are hoping to bring an old style arcade feel to the place, like when we were younger. I'm 30, I still remember the smell of the arcade st century III mall, wish I could replicated that as well. HAHA.
Thanks for the clarification Chris! BTW still kicking myself in the a** for missing out on that Paragon you sold!!!!
Quoted from cjmjmm2006:Full Throttle at pintastic, said the game was enjoyed by many. Im excited to hear your opinion of it. Safe travels.
FWIW Chris I played at ReplayFX and it was a fun game! The loops remind me a lot of No Fear but FT has the ramps. The video in the playfield is real nice as it allows you to see everything going on without having to look up!
BTW - the place in Monroeville is looking great. Still haven't made it to Southside yet!!!
Apparently the owner was difficult to deal with. It's my understanding that he didn't want the guys that ran Broadway to have any type of events (i.e. tournaments, parties etc.). I know they had a car cruise planned a few months ago for which the owner had them cancel it the day before. Again this is what I heard but Chris would be the one to advise!
Quoted from PinB:If I remember correctly, Chris told me that the owner had some sudden personal health problems that prevented him from continuing to run the business.
I believe he had a stroke. The golf business is still going, which is the business the owner runs. Chris had the pins in the place and another guy had the arcade machines. The arcade guy pulled out and then Chris did after that! It was a nice size place!!!!
