Announcement | July 17, 2013
Earlier this week the pinball machines at Satellite Lounge were removed. Last night that bar served its final drink. Satellite Lounge is no longer with us. While at first glance this is troublesome news for the New York City pinball scene, however, this is simply not the case. Our friend Rob wanted out of the bar business, but our friend Jon, from Reciprocal Skateboards, wanted it. After many months of back-room negotiation, Satellite Lounge has exchanged hands. Of course, Jon is a HUGE fan of pinball, so expect the same number, if not more, pinball machines when he reopens, but also expect other changes as well. I don’t know exactly what’s in store, but when the new bar (with a new name) opens, there might be a larger beer selection, better lighting, and an entirely new lineup of pinball machines. I’m looking forward for the grand (re)opening!
