Description

The Silver Ballroom is a Southside haunt for people who know the three P's are all you need for a good time: punk rock, pinball and PBR. The interior is slick with bordello red walls, shiny black floor sprinkled with glitter and sparkly charcoal booths. The bar top was handmade by the owners with over 400 local show fliers from years past to create a one of a kind bar that you can read while sipping PBR and listening to the ping-ping of the pinball machines. The jukebox is hand-picked and purely punk, it may give The Bleeding Deacon's award-winning jukebox a run for it's money; they've got everything from The Cramps and Social Distortion to locals The Humanoids. It's the one of the only joints in town where you can play 17 obscure pinball games like Champion Pub and Apollo 13.







  • 2010 | Best Place to Play Pinball

    Pinball, beards and tallboys: None of these things ever actually went out of style. Their popularity might wax and wane, but each one has always been considered cool to some degree. (The Who didn't write "Skee-Ball Wizard," for crying out loud.) And so Bevo's Silver Ballroom has built a legion of cools we'll call "flipsters," those south-city-dwelling, PBR-drinking, facial-hair-sporting, hard-rocking, pinball-playing men with impeccable taste. It's with more than a shot of good humor that... More »

  • 2010 | Best New Bar

    You see it spelled out above the bar as soon as you walk in: Retox Center. Sobriety, like elevator music, serves an essential function in life, but inside the Silver Ballroom, it's hard to remember what that function is -- or, for that matter, why anyone bothers making elevator music when they could be playing punk rock instead. The Silver Ballroom pays homage to the Holy Trinity: Pabst, punk rock and pinball. It's got the only purely punk jukebox in town, and what better way to enjoy... More »

    "pinball, PBR, punk rock." this south side bar is welcoming and the bartenders are friendly. there are several pinball machines (play "dr. dude" first) and a jukebox that has many punk classics. $1 gets you three plays. they also serve pretty good food, which is a surprising departure from the frozen pizza heated and served in other bars like it.
