Places to Play Pinball – Retroids Arcade Bar – Worcester
Continue reading...
We’ve been and played here today for lunch, cool ‘hip’ place with a tattoo parlour above. I looked distinctly uncool hopping about in the front window whilst playing Jurassic park. All nice machines playing well: JP/DP/Star trek/LOTR and metallica, though World Cup soccer awaiting repair. Fella let me pay a tenner on the card machine and gave me £10 in coins to play.
Thank you for finding it/writing the article; much better than stopping off at services on the m5

I just thought I’d add to this thread and give Retroids bar a shout out.
I have finally made the trip to Worcester with @Sam C to check this place out. Thanks @Kel86 for the recommendation.
I can highly recommend this place for great selection of modern pro pins supplied by @philpalmer. All the games are top notch condition and play great and all connected with Insider Connected for collecting achievements and unlocking extra content (mainly jaws for that).
Priced at £1/3 games £2 for the pins it represents great value for the money and most of the games have achievable replay targets to aim for. We went on a Saturday and were there for most of the day. It was pretty busy with a lot of families there who were enjoying themselves.
There are also plenty of retro arcade games to choose from as well to play over two floors.
It was quite easy to get to, situated just off the high street opposite a huge lovely church and right next to a 24 hour multistory carpark. It isn’t too far away from Birmingham so it as an alternative to going to Tilt for pinball.
They serve a good selection of beers and other drinks. They don’t serve food, but just around the corner there are plenty of restaurants and eating options.
It’s a shame they don’t have a Stern insider high score screen, but maybe @philpalmer could think about adding one at some point?
I look forward to visiting again in the near future.

I have tried to get them to get a screen up!
those cab sides look familiar!
But an insider leaderboard screen would be better use of the wall space!

Heading to Somerset on Friday, so might call in on the way and check it out

I used to go there every single week about 6 months ago (before I had a child).
Love it, great staff, great beer selection - Big fan of the Mash Gang Cult 0.5% they've got if you're a fan of low/no alcoholic beers.
Although all of the high scores on almost every machine is 'Jay' and some decent scores on there, I was GC on Venom for a little while until he knocked me off but I've still got a couple scores across the machines I bet.
