There was a time in Virginia Beach when you couldn't go out and not see a pinball machine. Every sub shop, pizza parlor, and convenience store had a pin or two. There were arcades everywhere. Miniature golf courses, amusement parks, they all had them. Back then, Flipper McCoy's had rows and rows of machines, and the place was always jumping in the Summertime. Now it's just a desert as far as pinball is concerned. It's pretty depressing.

I know it's a bit of a ride from Sandbridge to the resort area, but you might consider Tautogs Restaurant. It's in an old beach cottage on 23rd street, between Atlantic and Pacific Avenues. Good food. Very eclectic atmosphere.
