Brad is well positioned to make Pinball Garage a "must see" on the North American pinball road trip map. He has embraced "car culture" by hosting many car show/cruise-ins weekly which pairs well with the pinball player demographic, imo.
Amazing craft beer selection. Bourbon selection is far better than most bars as well. Weller Antique? Yes, please.
The pinball lineup is full of A-list titles. I visited during Covid, and was absolutely blown away. The thought that there are MORE pins in storage that are not on the floor (so Brad can keep patrons socially distanced) is mind boggling. Go visit Pinball Garage ASAP so you, too, will have the bragging rights to say you were there in the early days. You'll be glad you did.

Fabulous pinball bar!! A pinball buddy and I went on a perfect Thursday evening and enjoyed top tier games and had great discussions with owner Brad. Full bar with many beers on tap complement an even better collection of pinball machines. Rick and Morty was a definite favorite, along with TMNT, AFM, BM66, ST, and GOTG. As mentioned above, some games we’re not available, but so many good ones were and 4 hours for us flashed by. We bought the $50 bag of tokens- took home most of them. Brad is a fabulous host- runs a virtual pinball company as well and knows many of the names in pinball and has access to new rare games. Masks were highly recommended, but not absolutely mandatory. Small Thursday crowd mostly wore them, but of course needed to accommodate eating and drinking! No food (except cookies and maybe some snacks?). Next door pizza and calzones- bbq down the street and you can bring the food in and eat at the bar. Brad kept the place spotless and was cleaning a lot of pinball glass. Definitely worth the trip!
