LA Pinball Map

It's been a while...

Just wanted to share this link that was sent to me several months ago. Kind of the same idea I had going on here, but it's very comprehensive. Keep playing!

All Star Lanes: 4459 Eagle Rock Blvd. North

I recommend coming here for the karaoke, drinks, and bowling. Play this machine in between games/songs as it's little shoddy. First replay is 6,000,000 which easily makes up for condition of the game and it's overall game play.

PJ's Pinball Museum: 4350 Sepulveda Blvd. (Culver City)

(<-- my high score) This place is fantastic and run by the nicest dude. He occasionally opens his pinball museum up to the public on Fridays around 8 PM. Call ahead to inquire about the next pinball night.

House of Billiards: 1901 Wilshire Blvd. (Santa Monica)

Three machines. They've got a bar, which is always a plus for me, and BANZAI RUN IS ONLY A QUARTER A GAME! Hopefully, they'll fix the lower playing field's bumpers.
