MILWAUKEE — Calling all Pinball Wizards! Bremen Cafe in Milwaukee's Riverwest neighborhood invites you to put your skills to the test at its monthly pinball tournament.

It's a casual pinball league that the organizers said is perfect for your kids, friends, brother, mother, and dogs. You don't have to sign up beforehand. Just show up before the games begin. It starts at 6 p.m. and happens on the second Tuesday of every month.

There is no entry fee. It just costs a dollar per round per person. So bring those dollar bills. The winner will get a 4-pack of beer from Black Husky Brewing.

Along with monthly pinball tournaments, Bremen Cafe has live local music almost every single night. If it's not music or pinball, there is a comedy open mic, bingo, and a musical open mic.

It's no surprise that there is a pinball league at Bremen Cafe. Wisconsin is actually home to some of the best pinball players in the country.
