Hey Belles!,

Just a quick follow-up on our epic night at Double Tap Madison! We had 9 players in total, including 3 awesome newbies who jumped right into the action. Huge shoutout to Dori and Tiffany for getting everyone setup with tap cards and covering the games.

If you haven’t been to Double Tap Madison yet, we suggest you take a look. Not only were their nerdy-themed drinks tasty, the pinball setup was pretty cozy. Machines were in their own corner with tables and chairs nearby, making it easy to relax between rounds. While some machines had tight tilt bobbers, we all enjoyed the space and felt the layout was perfect for our group. Definitely recommend checking it out!

Winners’ Circle

Congrats to our top 4: Alley, Dori, Leah, and Tiffany! They battled it out on Jaws with 3 intense rounds to crown the night’s champ. And let’s not forget another highlight–Dori absolutely crushed it on Star Wars, scoring over a billion points on ball 1 and claiming Grand Champion on the machine.

Save the Date!

For our next event on October 19th, we’ll be playing at The Kickbar Bar for the first time! There are over 40 machines and they come from the Craft Beer Pinball League router. You’re sure to find one of your favorites there! Can’t wait to see you all there!
