The Pinball Cafe Brings Back Old-School Games

— February 12, 2012 — Business
The Pinball Cafe is Toronto’s first hangout that brings back the joy of this old-school game.

The Pinball Cafe is operated by a husband and wife team who felt inspired by the video arcades and pool halls of the 1980s.

Bringing back the pinball machine is a great way for youngsters to experience something new, and for nostalgic hipsters to indulge in their past gaming habits.

Vintage machines from private collections are spread out in a bright and lively room, and the flashy lights of the electromechanical classics to the fresh ACDC Pinball Machine will keep anyone entertained.

If you are a coffee, candy, cookie or cake aficionado then this is the place for you.
