Went there last night - what a great place! The theme is "your parents' game room in the 1970s" but your parents probably didn't have

4 pins (all Sterns at the moment - currently: SWLE, AS, IM, GOTG) - they had a guy manning the glass all night, wiping them down over and over again. it was impressive

10-15 arcade games: mostly dedicated - Afterburner, Mortal Kombat I, Centipede, (can't think of the rest), and a bunch of multicades, including 3 cocktails!

3 Basketball hoop games

a whole shelf of board games

Jukebox filled with all 70s/80s music

3 pool tables

Foosball -

SKEEBALL!

Star Wars posters on the wall, Lynda Carter / A-Team / Atari promos and stickers under the bartop

This place *committed* to the scene. Really fun place. Good beer on draft, food provided by Shake Shack next door.

1400 14th St. Player's Club.

That’s cool they were keeping them clean. I usually bring window cleaning wipes with me to clean off the machine in my local area.

I’ll have to make my way up there and check it out.

It’s like a 3 minute walk from one of my customers - I am going to spend a lot of money there....

Seems like they plan to rotate games fairly regularly, too.

Would love to see them get a few classic 70s-80s pins to fit the decor. We're a little spoiled for new Sterns around here these days, five years ago a new place with 4 new pins woulda been mind-blowing...

How many people walk in thinking it's a strip club and then leave?

There’s always Lyman’s. They have a Cyclops, Paragon and Pabst Can crusher right now, alongside Tron, STLE, SW, Houdini(!) and a couple others. Literally 1 mile north on the same road
