Beehive Tavern (Dayton's Bluff, St. Paul)

Bar #5 of our St. Paul Tour brought us to The Beehive Tavern, and based on the amount of police cars we saw, I think this part of town may be a little rough. When I called ahead and asked them if they had a pinball machine it went like this.

Me, "Do you have any pinball machines?"
Owner, "Yeah. We have a pinball machine."
Me, "Do you mind if I ask you which one?
Owner, "What?"
Me, "Which pinball machine do you have?"
Owner, "I don't know. Its Pinball!"

At first we thought it was closed. The front door was locked, and being a 3.2 bar and a Sunday we thought maybe there was some sort of "blue law." I peaked through the barred window and saw the machine in the corner, but couldn't tell which. We walked around back to look in another window, and discovered the back door. It was open and we went in. There was only one other person there with the bartender. The machine, "Street Fighter 2," was off. We politely asked if it worked, and if we could play it. The owner was kind enough to turn it on.

We noticed some advertising  making "Street Fighter 2" the first of two games that we would run across from the "Say No To Drugs" era. Remember that? The machine had been there so log that the was actually dust on the play-field below the glass top. It costs $.50/1, $.75/2, and $1.00 for three games. We put in our $.75 and began. At one point, BT got confused when it appeared that nothing was happening yet noises were going on. I then noticed that there was a secondary game sunken in the middle of the play-field. It was so dirty that we could barely see the flipper and ball in it. Multiball is very dull as it only has two balls go at a time. One great thing was the replay score...49,>?0,000

Replay: 49,>?0,000
BT's high score: 14.9 mil
My High Score: 33.5 mil
