NEWS: Electric Bat is Coming!

Posted on by

Tell your mother, tell your father, tell your weird cousin’s neighbor’s friend. It’s almost here, and we could hardly be more excited for the opening of the Electric Bat Arcade! There’s a lot of places to play pinball in Phoenix, but none of them will be quite like this.
Check it out!

The Electric Bat will open in a newly renovated portion of the venerable Yucca Tap Room, at 29 W. Southern Ave., in Tempe. Nearly 20 arcade and pinball games will grace the space.
The arcade has a soft opening this month and will begin permanent hours in October. Did we mention it’s inside a cool bar that regularly hosts some awesome local and national acts?
Games will be token-operated and have been specially minted for the arcade. See if you’re lucky enough to get a Free Beer token in exchange for your quarter!
The Bat’s amazing proprietress, Rachel Bess, and her crew of assistants even have their merchandise game on point. Check out these cool pins!
Yes, they glow in the dark! That’s how cool this is going to be. So reserve basically all of October to spend at the Electric Bat. Hopefully we’ll see you there!
