Same as the other Taco Macs with a huge beer selection, lots of sports on tons of TVs and good food including their signature wings. Give the TMI (Three Mile Island) flavor a shot which isn't really all that hot but has a really good sweet and spicy flavor. (Ha, I just saw that Susan W. agreed with me just two days ago so now you have a quorum on TMI)
The big difference of THIS Taco Mac is their Pinball machine nestled right next to the bar.
Pinball Review as of 3/22/09: Batman - The Dark Night by Stern. This is one of the best machines I've played in recent memory. Lots of multiball, a really well concieved 'crane' and good flow. Machine is in great shape and the proximity to over 400 beers doesn't hurt.

Haven't done much here exept enjoy a few pints and play pinball but they've got a great one at last visit and a good vibe.
Pinball as of 2/1/09 - Spiderman. This is a great machine! Terrific flow, effects and multiballs and a center post make this one of my favorites. When last I was here, everything was in great shape mechanically (unlike Rocky Mt Pizza with the same game).

Always a solid menu and great beer selection as with other Taco Macs. This one stands out with an excellent version of Family Guy Pinball!
Pinball Review as of 5/2009: Family Guy in great condition. Lots of good flow, multiballs and even a mini "Stewie" sized second pinball field. Judging by the fact that I have all the high scores, I'd say it's not used very often! http://www.ipdb.o...

Decent pizza, you can smoke if that's your thing, and usually a decent crowd of mostly GA Tech folk.
Pinball as of 3/15/09 - Spiderman. This is(was) a great machine! Terrific flow, effects and multiballs and a center post make this one of my favorites. Unfortunately some mechanical glitches have rendered this frustrating and unplayable in the past month. Hopefully a tune-up or rotation is in the works soon! Head over to Gravity Bar in E. ATL if you want to play this one.

There is also a really old 80's machine that has something to do with the Dodge Viper and black lights but isn't worth a quarter.

I dig this place. Good slices and cold beer. ...and they seem to usually have a pinball machine.
Pinball Report as of 12/2008 - The trouble is it their machines seem to either be out of order or not functioning at 100%. The last time I was in there was late December 2008, and there was an Austin Powers machine. It seemed like it could have been fun but some sticky flippers made it difficult to enjoy.

I always find something lacking here though... maybe it's just the wide open square space. Maybe a half wall somewhere to break up the space?

The taps had a good variety of ecletic imports and micro-brews. Their website lists a Pinball Brawl on Tuesdays and Trivia/Karaoke on Wednesdays. I was there on a Wednesday and there was neither and I was informed that the Pinball Brawl hadn't happened for over a year.
Atlanta Pinball Review as of 3/26/09 - Family Guy by Stern. This is a fun, though pretty common machine. Flippers were in good shape. One of the best parts of this game is the TV Mode, though the 'Lois' spinner is not working so it's virtually impossible to activate this short of visiting the Drunken Clam.

On to the Pinball - as of 2/1/09. They seemed at one point to rotate fairly frequently, though they have been stuck on Shrek and Pirates on the Caribbean for a while. PotC is starting to show a little age in some of the mechanics but both are solid efforts from Stern. Shrek is a little lame in that it is exactly the same as Family Guy, just with different characters.

Pinball Review as of 3/1/09: Indiana Jones. Not to be confused with the Williams machine of the early 90's, this effort from Stern is about as bad as the 4th movie. Some of the lights on this machine are out, but the flipper action is okay. The Local usually does a good job of rotating machines through so hopefully we'll see a new offering soon!

Pinball Review as of 3/15/09: Sadly they have recently lost their crowning glory, a Midway Twilight Zone machine, currently ranked #1 on http://www.ipdb.com
They still have a bizarre videogame/pinball hybrid from Sega called Revenge From Mars. It is not without its charm as you destroy wise-cracking aliens, but pinball purists will be disappointed.
