    Visiting family in Needham, MA for a few days, any standout locations I should check out? I've heard great things about Flat Top Johnny's, so I will definitely check them out...

    The pinball map doesn't show much in the area, so looking for some recommendations.

    Thanks in advance, and happy thanksgiving pinsiders!

    A new place just opened 2 weeks ago in Everett, MA - Down the Road Taproom. The girl and I will actually be there later today if you're so inclined. They just sent out their game list and it's a System11/WPC lover's wet dream...

    Currently we have space for 12 games , * games are not on floor(some are being repaired). We will be reconfiguring the room to allow for more game space, hopefully closer to 20 games."

    I'd also highly recommend Flat Top as you mentioned. Great staff and always top tier Sterns, sometimes mixed in with something sweet like TAF or AFMr. There's also Roxy's A4cade about 0.75mi walk which has another 6 pins in what's essentially a speakeasy barcade. 6 great pins (similar to Flat Top, mostly newer Sterns with the occasional fun wild card), and a lot of retro games too.

    Now that I’m at down the road as I write this, I’ll say it’s a real legit place.

    Ubering over to ftj as we speak! Should be fun! Thanks for the suggestions, folks!

    Going to hit Roxy's after, then Underground on Friday while the wife shops. dannunz can't wait to play a different di than the one I'm used to. And thanks for Pintastic!

    Nice... I sold them my Doctor Who and Demolition Man. Good to see them open.
