Hello Fellow Peorians!
I was wondering if anyone could point me to some fine drinking establishments in the Peoria Metroplex where I could find a pinball machine in good working order. I know of a few machines and except for one in the MT Hawley Bowling Alley arcade I don't know of any where I could get a couple of beers and play. There is one in Aurellio's and if I don't find any more I suppose I will try there.

I'm guessing that the revenue bars make from the gambling machines have driven pinball out of most establishments.

The 8-Bit Beercade on State Street has a lot of video games, but I'm not sure if they have any pinball machines. I just saw one someplace last week, but I can;t remember where. 5th Quarter in E Peoria, maybe?

There aren't enough pinball machines in Peoria, that's for sure! If you feel like taking a road trip, check out CP Pinball in South Roxana, IL. It's a little over 150 miles south of Peoria, about a 2.5 hour drive. You pay a flat fee at the door, then all the pinball machines are set for free play. They have 3 buildings full of pinball machines. It's a BYOB kind of place. The guy that runs the place doesn't care if you drink alcohol. I've been there several times. It's well worth the drive if you go with several friends. I need to make it back down there again soon. It's lots of fun! The list of games on their website is nowhere near complete.
