UPDATE: Sorry, people, Grumpy is NOT coming to town. Landlords suck, and hopefully our friend Grumpy will find a better one and get his place going again at an even better location. Look for updates as soon as we have them folks,
Opening very soon in downtown Glendale is Grumpy’s Ice Box Arcade-Lounge, a retro arcade with more than thirty classic pinball machines and old-school arcade games like Tron and Galaga to boot.
Grumpy has a soft spot for late-70’s to early-80’s Bally pins so he’s filled his cool spot with vintage titles like Flash Gordon, Paragon, Space Invaders, and Xenon.
He’ll also have some pinball art for sale and treats to eat like hot dogs and sodas and popcorn. No beer, though, this is a family arcade.
The arcade is only a half-block from the Glendale civic center complex. It’s at 7031 N. 57th Drive in a huge corner storefront.
We’ll let you know when it opens officially, but get ready!!
