"Walt’s Bar in Eagle Rock bills itself as an arcade bar, but it’s really just an excellent local dive bar that happens to have a whole bunch of pinball machines. There’s a ’50s theme here that doesn’t feel corny, and an excellent selection of beer and wine. It’s a relaxed crowd, but you can still get a little rowdy here without feeling awkward. Grab some popcorn from the machine, and commandeer that Evil Knievel pinball machine you’ve had your eye on all night." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
