T & C Pub & Grill
T & C Pub and Grill in De Pere (right outside Green Bay) is a classic dive bar with a small selection of pinball machines on location. Go here for low fuss pub food (customers rave about the perch fish fry). They have pool tables a few classic arcade machines, and horseshoes in the back when the weather is nice.
Blackbird Bar
Blackbird Bar in Milwaukee's Bay View neighborhood is the dive bar of your dreams. Featuring five lovingly curated pinball machines—including modern Sterns and some classic Bally/Williams like Congo and World Cup Soccer—it’s more of a bar that offers pinball as an additional activity than a dedicated gaming arcade.
Blackbird Bar also has a photo booth to capture memory-making moments forever, along with an eclectic atmosphere that guests love. To top it all off, Blackbird Bar serves up craft beers, ciders, cocktails, wine and more to satisfy your thirst! So if you're looking for fun things to do in Milwaukee and you love pinball machines and a dive-bar atmosphere, then Blackbird Bar is the perfect hangout spot for you.
Mariner Theatre
Cheesesteak Rebellion
This one should be obvious! It's cheesesteaks (the best of the hot sub family) and pinball. If you can't have a good time here, then we can't help you. Of course it helps that they also have a full bar, as well as a small selection of classic arcade and redemption machines.
