    Tilt Pinball Bar in Minneapolis, Minnesota<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    The following is one example of what is growing increasing popular in metropolitan areas in the US; Barcades \u2013 the crossover between bars and arcades. <\/strong><\/p>\n

    In Minneapolis, Minnesota is a specialty bar\/pinball arcade called TILT – Pinball Bar<\/a>. We paid them a quick visit.<\/p>\n

    Tilt is open from 11am to 2am daily. We didn’t meet with the owner, John Galvin, or his business partners in Tilt, Jasha Johnston and Carrie McCabe- Johnston, however we were taken care of by our bartender\/hostess\/server\/waitress.<\/p>\n

    \"Many<\/a>

    With the games set for route play, they were all in great condition and priced at two tokens ($0.50) per game.\u00a0\u00a0 We only had time to play a few single-player games, so we don’t know multiple game pricing.<\/p>\n

    \"Token<\/a>

    There is ample seating in the pinball area and a full-service bar up front.<\/p>\n

    Back to the reason we visited; pinball, of course! Though we didn’t participate, the owners run both a pinball league and tournament<\/a>. The league is six weeks long. The tournament is held the last Sunday of every month.<\/p>\n

    TILT<\/a> is not some seedy, dimly-lit, backstreet pinball dive bar. It is modern, airy and clean with specialty local crafted beers at expected prices, centrally-located in midtown Minneapolis.\u00a0\u00a0With the many new and premium pinball titles, we will be sure to visit again soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
