Ugh.... you're not going to find much for location pinball in ATL, especially not downtown. Generally, downtown gets pretty quiet at night.

Ormsby's is within Uber distance and, depending on your age, you shouldn't feel too old there on a weeknight. On the weekends it's a college frat fest. They always have one pin (Transformers last time I was there), shuffleboard, darts, indoor bocce, and a decent beer list.

Joystick is a decent pick too, although it's more of a video game place. It's in a trendy part of town, so think about packing some skinny jeans. As Joel stated, you can take the new streetcar there. And, right now, the streetcar is free.

Buckhead is no longer what it was. In the early 2000s a series of shootings lead to the wealthy neighborhood association moving last call up to 1am forcing all of the nightlife to scramble elsewhere. The drunken revelry of the past is now a luxury outdoor shopping mall and a ridiculously large Restoration Hardware.

A single strip of the old nightlife is still clinging on and seems to be doing alright though.
