Wessie’s Den Arcade Bar in Westbrook, Maine to Close on October 31

If you love pinball, video games, jukeboxes, live music, and live comedy, Wessie's Den is the place. I've played several pinball tournaments here, and the staff and the atmosphere are just perfect.

Sadly, though, the end is coming for Wessie's Den.

Wessie's Den in Westbrook, Maine, Is Closing

Wessie's Den is named after the 10-foot snake skin found in the woods almost 10 years ago in Westbrook in August of 2016.

The debate is still out there about whether this was the real deal or a hoax.

Wessie's Den is located at 212 Brown Street in Westbrook, Maine, and recently announced that they are closing the doors for good after their Halloween party on October 31.
