There's a pretty cool "barcade" here in Grand Rapids, MI called Stella's Lounge. They have a handful of pins, and probably about a dozen cabs. Lots of cheap beer, and a nice vegan friendly menu.

Glad someone might be able to use the info. I've been to both arcades and the Mille Lacs version has all the recent DK all in ones, Galaga/Ms Pac Space Invaders and another machines that has a bunch of games like Robotron, Defender ...and a boatload more. Here's the catch though...you cannot purchase any alcohol on the Mille Lacs reservation or Casino. You would have to bring your own to your hotel room and hit your room whenever you needed a bump lol. Hinckley on the other hand has drinks everywhere. |

I was in L.A. last month, and stopped by the Santa Monica pier arcade (three classics, and a few decent pins) mentioned elsewhere on the forums......if I'd known about Blipsy's, I would've gone there instead! Especially because the SM pier arcade was so loud you could barely hear the machine in front of you. --- Quote from: gabe on August 11, 2011, 03:25:46 pm ---There's a pretty cool "barcade" here in Grand Rapids, MI called Stella's Lounge...and a nice vegan friendly menu. --- End quote --- That's just weird. |

I couldn't hear any of the games but they were dedicated and there was a decent amount of them in working order. |
