We were originally going to takeover the lease for the old Cloak & Dagger bar on Gloucester Road and turn it into a barcade, which would have had a dedicated pinball section. Sadly the lease holder wouldn’t give up the lease without a significant payment to payoff her debts, so negotiations broke down after that. I’ve looked at a few places in Bedminster that look promising, but central or Gloucester Road is where we really want to be.

Nice I'm really hoping you find somewhere because I'd love to see a pinball community take off here
Loads of empty property on Clifton Triangle at the minute; prime student land!
Incredible work from you. Do you think you'd be interested in hosting a tourney sometime?
Unfortunately Ghostbusters isn't currently playable for those in the Bristol area. The coin door buttons have stopped working due to a fault on the board (anyone else ever encountered this on a Spike game? There isn't actually anything wrong with the physical buttons) so I can't set it up for coined play currently. I'll report back when it's ready to roll
In terms of machine numbers I think this means you are now currently the 6th largest public pinball venue in the country (behind only Pinball Office, Special When Lit, Tilt, Arcade Club and Medway).
Going to see if I can swing coming down for a couple of hours on Saturday…
Great work, will defo be along soon to see if i can put a high score on DH and FT 
If you can keep em playing well then all the better ( sure everyone here appreciates the work involved with that!! )

This is something we would definitely be up for once all our games are ready
Myself and Craig we have about 50+ games between us, so it’s not outside the realms of possibility that we could have 30+ games working by this year.
Myself, Craig and his dad Kev spent yesterday trying to get as many games working as we could.

Fixed the opto issue with AC/DC kicking out two balls. It’s now fully working and set to £1 per play.
Getaway is also fully working and ready to play.
Spider-Man just needs a coin mech then it’s ready

Was in Brewdog last night and had a few games on the Venom there. All seems to be working fine and playing really fast, £1 for 1 or £2 for 3. I was in the place for about 2 hours and I was the only person who played it that whole time, despite it being reasonably busy.
Spiderman and Roadshow now ready to play
