Coincidentally, “slingshot” is also the term for the triangular nodes above the flippers that ricochet the heck out of unruly balls.

With a mean happy hour and booth-filled dining area, this is a family-friendly haven that welcomes kids until 9:30 p.m.įor a decade, this divey Foster-Powell staple has served stiff drinks and an array of excellent food options. Fan favorites like Elvira and the Party Monsters intermix freely with old-school electro-mechanical gems like Mousin’ Around.
