Gently
I pull the plunger back with the tips of my fingers
Let the ball fly
It bounces around the playfield
Flippers on point
Whodunnit?
Quick with the save
Light ’em up
Pick my target
Solve the case
Nail the bonus shot
High Score

I love pinball. It has been a hobby of mine since I was a boy. I grew up playing Space Mission and have always sought out machines wherever I lived.
However, I was disappointed to find that once I moved to Washington, D.C. there seemed to be an absence of pinball culture. The “pinball museum” was even forced to move to Baltimore. That leaves only a sporadic gathering of games across town. With this in mind, I decided to create an unofficial database of pinball machine locations so that others like myself might be able to enjoy this game of skill. I will update locations and machines as they are brought to my attention.
Machine : Location
Big Buck Hunter Pro : Solly’s Tavern – 1942 11th St N.W. – At $1 a play, this is a pricey, but clean machine.
Medieval Madness : Board Room – 1737 Connecticut Ave. N.W. – Machine is in excellent condition. Machine was removed for repair.
The Lord of the Rings : Penn Social – 801 E Street N.W.
The Getaway : Black Cat – 1811 14th Street N.W.
The Sopranos : Iron Horse Tap Room – 507 7th Street N.W. – Weak left flipper that freezes on you occasionally.
Rollercoaster Tycoon Pirates of the Caribbean: Rocket Bar – 714 7th Street N.W. – New machine, but $1 a play makes it pricey.
Family Guy : Kelly’s Irish Times – 14 F Street N.W.
The Sopranos: MIG Bar – 2226 18th St NW
I will provide updates as needed.
