PLAY PINBALL IN ILLINOIS. HELP KEEP PINBALL ALIVE COMMERCIALLY!!!
Site last updated 10/24/2009
Help: I started this list together to assist individuals like myself for finding places to play pinball in the Chicagoland area but have been expanding it to include other cities in IL. There are other websites where you can get this information but this is also to list the places that have one or two machines that might not be known otherwise. Also the quality of the machines is described if gameplay is less than desired. Please refer to the establishments’ websites when applicable for the latest information. Please help me keep this information up to date. If the pin is working less than desired, please report to the establishment’s owner. I have found most are accommodating. Mail any updates to Doug at doug_gaming@yahoo.com or leave a comment here.
Make sure to support these establishments and thank them for having pinball.
Note: You should always call ahead if you plan on bringing children with you particularly if the establishment sells liquor.
This following site is another representation of the data in alphabetical order by machine and is publicly updatable. I have however on this site included the yellow pages’ name for the establishment, additional machine and establishment information, and phone numbers here. www.pinballrebel.com
If no comment exists next to the game then the condition of the game is unknown.

Chicago
Currently I have visited most locations in the suburbs and city except for the college campuses which tend to only be open when school is in session which might mean only weekdays. Any help for those places and those on this list which I have not been able to verify would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Note: the web page administrator has never been there but when talking on the phone to the owners, they sound like they are very serious in keeping pins in good shape. This is demonstrated by their quick rotating of games out when informed of things that need repair. Thank you!

Other sites
Here is another useful link
http://www.pinballrebel.com I try to keep this site in sync. There are some locations like those on college campuses that I did not track down. Also if the location did not answer, I did not repeatedly try. There are also places that had pinball but I can no longer find a yellow page location. Also I carried over comments that were there before if the machine is still there. Anyone can update the site. Feel free to make changes to it.
