I made a quick stop at Pints& Pixels in downtown Huntsville during their opening night last week, after dropping off my son at the
prom nearby. Mainly, I wanted to see the murals painted by several local
artists, but I was also interested in seeing what this new bar/arcade has to offer.
It was packed that night, but I was able to get a look around. It is located on
the second floor of the historic Mason’s Furniture building. UG White Mercantile
opened on the first floor in November, and you have to enter that store to
access the elevator or stairs to Pints & Pixels.
They have over 50 vintage
arcade games and pinball machines. There is a restaurant area where Anaheim
Chili serves appetizers, chili, burgers (including black bean), hot dogs, wings
and more. There is also a rooftop patio.

Awesome tile!

My daughter asked if they
have Pac- Man.
Yes, they do and I also saw Ms. Pac-Man. They actually have more games than are
currently on the floor; they will be rotating them to keep things
interesting. They also have TVs that are “timewarped to 80’s music videos,
movies and television programs.” I’ve got to take my kids here! (Note: they are closed on Mondays.)
