Entry No. 46 — the Anchorage file — filed under: arcade-play

The Raven

Anchorage's longest-running neighborhood gay bar, open since 1982 and welcoming to everyone. Alongside the pool table, dartboards, jukebox, and big outdoor patio sits a Ghostbusters pinball machine for between-rounds play. It's an unpretentious, regulars-heavy dive where the games are an excuse to linger.

The move: Post up at the bar with a pool game and trade turns on the Ghostbusters pinball while the jukebox runs.

📍 Before you go 21+ bar that opens at 3pm; just one pinball machine, so this is a hang-and-play vibe, not a dedicated arcade.
