This past weekend, I hopped in the car and made the drive down to our nation's capital, Washington DC, to check out the grand opening (well, technically REOPENING) of VÜK Pinball! While their official opening for daily operations was on Sunday, September 22nd, on Saturday they celebrated their grand opening with a large tournament, and a luncheon for all the players catered by the nearby Italian restaurant Maggiano's.

While it feels kind of like a ghost town, just walking into the building you can hear the pings and knocks from all of the games. The new location for VÜK can be found on the ground floor, down from the street level. It's right near the entrance to the Metro, as well, and has hours that ensure just about anybody should be able to fit a visit into their schedule, opening at 7 AM and staying open until 11 PM every night except Sundays. They have a
