What\u2019s Brewing? is a coffee roasting company in operation for over 40 years. They have their roasters on site, a lounge with board and card games, and 27 pinball games that run the gamut from the 1975 Gottlieb Atlantis<\/em> to the 2019 Stern Jurassic Park<\/em> (Pro). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All games appeared to be in excellent condition, they encourage patrons to report malfunctions to the Pinball Map<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also host tournaments and other pinball-related events such as the Women\u2019s Winter Classic Pinball Tournament, and the Youth Pinball Tournament. This coming February 14th they will host the Table for Two tournament featuring romantic door prizes, cash and romantic prizes for the top four! Check their Facebook page<\/a> for more information on their events and tournaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the games are coin or dollar bill operated (there is a change machine nearby), while a few such as the 1976 Williams Grand Prix<\/em> are set to 25 cents per credit – Score!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the games have a summary of the game’s features printed on a small card attached to the head unit – a great idea that I wish more arcades would adopt. Most of the games have either drink holders or tables nearby for your hot or cold liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game rooms have framed game backglasses displayed as \u201cart\u201d. It would be better if they were backlit, but it is a very nice touch anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Brewing?\u2019s game rooms (two of them plus the game in the storage area) offer boosters for the vertically-challenged players out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I freely admit to being a coffee snob and rate their coffee among the best that I have enjoyed. If space in our luggage wasn\u2019t at such a premium, I would have bought a few pounds to take home. What\u2019s Brewing? carries a wide variety of single origin, organic and Kosher-certified 100% Arabica beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you visit What\u2019s Brewing? early enough in the day, they have pastries available for purchase from The Cake Thieves<\/em> bakery. Be forewarned, they sell out quickly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vibe in the coffee house is hip without being hipster – the music choices are outstanding and both the employees and the patrons are very welcoming. The coffee house is inviting with various seating options – high tables and tall chairs, comfy sofas and coffee tables, and small dining tables with matching chairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If coffee makes the world function effectively and pinball brings out the best in people, then What\u2019s Brewing? is certainly the most effective and functional place in San Antonio, Texas, if not North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are in the Greater Harmony Hills area of San Antonio, give What\u2019s Brewing? a visit. Be prepared to stay longer than you were planning though! It\u2019s at least a ‘two-cup’ kind of place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
