"Elston Electric is a friendly tavern / arcade located on the corner of the Salt Shed complex. The bar is incorporated into the old boiler and has a patio to enjoy sunshine between game time. We serve great food and nostalgic drinks at hard to beat prices, inspired by all things games and boilers. The arcade features a high scoring mix of old and new games, and redemption games to win a prize for that special someone. So bring the kids or leave them at home, we promise that a boilermaker and a game of pinball is a really nice time."
