Break a Sweat
Nearly forty pinball machines, beer, and pizza in Chinatown, where competitive instincts emerge one quarter at a time.
516 Fisgard St, Chinatown
More infoPinhalla has figured out what a first date needs: loud enough that silences aren't awkward, distracting enough that you can't overthink. Nearly forty pinball machines fill a Chinatown room, the bar is fully stocked, and the pizza oven is going, so when your wrists give out from the flippers you collapse into a booth for a slice. The bumpers do the social heavy lifting. Bring small bills for the machines.
Bring competitive energy and small bills, then drift between nearly forty machines trading high scores and quarters while the beer and pizza handle themselves. Collapse into a booth for a slice when your wrists give out. Budget about 90 low-pressure minutes, keep a tab going since it's fully licensed, and let the easy Chinatown vibe roll right into a nightcap or a wander down Fisgard.
