Hey STLdorks- question for ya.
What are the main coin op hangouts in the area? I'll be moving to Edwardsville (I've been told its only about 25 minutes from STL) next fall for college and I'll need a place relatively close to blow off some steam once and a while.

Its mostly pinball but he has multicades and a Mame machine or two there as well. For $10 you cant beat it and the best part is you can bring in your own booze. Its actually very close to SIUE. Probabaly wouldnt take you more than 20 minutes to get there depending on where you are living in Edwardsville. Welcome to the area BTW.

Ya CP is the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, #1 in my book....several multicades & lots of pins like Flake said.
You can also be a sellout & go to dave & Busters to play Daytona USA, pool, shuffleboard & a few modern shooter & racer games. The food there is pretty good, they sell booze.
Welcome to STL, now get yourself some Lions Choice, Imo's & White castles.

Agreed. You should have all those in Edwardsville if I remember correctly. If your into finer dining for a date or something I would recommend a place called Bella Milano's. Its located by the High School. Pretty good italian food.
Also, another place you are fairly close to is Fast Eddies Bonaire. You should definitely check that place out, its in Alton. Here's a Saturday recommendation for you. On a Saturday that CP Pinball is open, go hit up Fast Eddies around noon or so. Stay till about 5-6pm (or go across the street to the Alton Belle for a little afternoon blackjack) and then on your way back to Edwardsville hit CP Pinball for a few hours. At that point in the night you might not be very good at pinball or videogames but you should have a helluva day. 8)

Awesome! I'd rather be playing a pin than any vid any day. I won't be in the area until next fall, but I'm pretty excited to be going down there.
Re White Castle: I've had some baaaad experiences with WC. Granted that was one in Indianapolis, but still...
