4. There’s an arcade bar hidden behind a laundromat

Sunshine laundromat in Greenpoint

There are plenty of hidden bars in New York City, but Sunshine Laundromat & Pinball on Manhattan Avenue has to be one of the most unique. Up front, it’s a regular old laundromat, but walk through the “VIP entrance” and you’ll find yourself inside a dimly lit bar full of pinball machines. There’s a selection of craft beer on tap, including Greenpoint Beer & Ale Company’s Milk & Honey, as well as bottles and cans like Tecate and Evil Twin IPA.

The bar is currently closed due to COVID-19, but hopefully it will reopen soon. Drinking craft beer while playing pinball is certainly the funnest way to kill time at the laundromat while you wait for your laundry to finish the spin cycle.
