    When the pandemic kicked off we shut down by state order and immediately mobilized to tear off the back of our building to build a new addition to house a brand new kitchen, walk-in coolers and bathrooms. During that six month construction sprint a T3 popped up on facebook for $600. That was our first pinball machine.

    Coming out of and trying to survive through covid restrictions I asked myself what are other bars/restaurants NOT doing that could give us a competitive advantage.

    The answer was that $600 T3. We then ran 100mph in that direction.

    We can only hold 19 pins on the floor with the rest held back for rotation but are now contemplating another building addition to build a dedicated arcade room that can hold 60 or so pins.
