Cumberland, BC · Take off, eh
Hoser Pinball Lounge
A classic pinball hangout. But with beer.
The finished-basement rec room you always wanted, parked outside the village on an acre of Comox Valley. Pinball, BC craft beer in a real glass, and zero pretension. Toques optional.

Black Knight (Williams, 1980)
Steve Ritchie's magna-save classic. Two-level playfield, that growling speech synthesizer, the most satisfying lock shot of the era. Doug paid too much. Worth it.
