You'll start picturing the inside of this Division
Street dive from the sidewalk, where a chalkboard advertising skee ball
sits below primer-gray wood siding that's lined to accentuate the
building's boxiness. Inside, yup, it's what you pictured. A cozy front
bar crammed with bar stools and a Camel machine opens into a Scooby Doo
ghost arcade of forlorn pinball cabinets (Congo, Addams Family), a
pupil-busting new Big Buck HD and two skee-ball lanes. In the back,
three men sit on green pleather office chairs that Gordon Gekko might
have sat on in 1987 (and passed down to his assistant in 1989) watching
college football. There's a jukebox with a "No Music During the Games"
sign stuck to it. The clinging, clanging skee-ball lanes also appear
annoying, but these guys aren't the type to complain. The board is
smooth and in solid working order, there's plenty of room to throw or
drunkenly make out against a pinball machine. Yup, this is pretty much
the best bar skee-ball experience in town.
Happy hour: 4-7 pm. $2.50 wells, $2 domestics, $3 craft. Food specials.
Entertainment: Much pinball, much lottery, a juke, Big Buck, and oh yes, skee ball.
