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.
