If you're looking for a place where you can easily lose track of time (in the best way possible),…read morePins Mechanical is it. This isn't just a bar with a few games tucked in the corner--it's an entire experience. Everywhere you turn there's something to do. Whether you're feeling competitive or just want to laugh with friends, you'll find duckpin bowling, bocce ball, pinball machines for days, patio pong (think giant beer pong), ping pong, foosball, billiards, and one of my personal favorites... Hookie, a surprisingly addicting ring toss game that had us saying, "One more round..." more times than I'd like to admit. One thing I really appreciate is that the atmosphere works for just about everyone. You can come for date night, celebrate with a group, bring coworkers, or just grab a drink and wander around trying games you've never played before. It somehow feels energetic without being overwhelming. The upstairs patio is a hidden gem. There's plenty of seating, colorful décor, and a fire pit that makes it a great place to take a break before heading back inside. (I still miss the adult swings they used to have--they were ridiculously fun... although I can also understand why swinging and cocktails may not have been the safest long-term business decision. ) There are several bars throughout the building, so grabbing a drink is easy, and yes... they serve Jell-O shots if that's your thing. They don't serve food, but that's honestly not an issue because you're welcome to bring your own in. We grabbed food from The Garage next door, and it paired perfectly with an afternoon of games. A few tips: * Don't skip the upstairs. * Try Hookie at least once. * Wander around before settling on one activity--you'll probably discover something you didn't know was there. * Plan on staying longer than you expected. This is one of those rare places where the atmosphere is just as entertaining as the games themselves. Whether it's your first visit or your tenth, it's hard to walk out without saying, "We should come back."

Our team recently had a team building night out at Pins Mechanical for duck pin bowling. It's…read moreregular bowling (no special shoes required) but on a smaller scale. The pins are on strings and the balls are hand sized. We had two lanes and a dedicated server to come take food and drink orders. She was speedy and very attentive. I had the mocktails and they were tasty but just a bit too sweet. The bartender was able to pour over ice and top with soda water which helped. Along with bowling they have pinball, jenga, cornhole, and other yard games. It really started picking up and getting busy around 7:30-8pm.

I've heard about duckpin bowling, but had never gone. I was…read moreinvited to an event here this afternoon. I was excited to check it. The experience starts as soon as you board an elevator that is probably close to 100 years old. When you step out to the venue, it's like you are in the 1930s. Everything here I was told is from original alleys that were rescued. The staff and service were great. Everyone was friendly and super knowledgeable. The bowling took some time to get used to. The staff was helpful for the kids and let them know they could bowl from further down the lane. Since all of the lanes are original, there are a few issues. One lanes ball return system stopped working while there. Another likes to shoot balls onto the lane. The lane I was on, 2, had a pin that you would knock down but when it reset for the second or third attempt, every time it was back. Overall it was still a fun time. We had pizza, wings and cookies. The pizza was pretty good, nothing fancy. The wings had some spice to them and had the sauce got everywhere with its color. The cookie I had was one of the best I've had. Better than Crumbl. Fun and unique place for an event.

It is upstairs so those unable to climb stairs may not be able to participate. It was 9 holes of black light ,dark, dinosaur themed fun. You can tell that it's a little outdated as there were lots of pieces broke and the air was one of them, so hot!! We then went into the bar for some drinks to cool down and a couple appetizers. Pretzel bites with nacho cheese and fried pickles. Both were good. The pretzel bites were so greasy that the cheese kept sliding off though. In the area they have axe throwing and table top connect four. Then we bowled. $50/hour/lane. That was a lot of fun! There are robots who bring your food to your lanes - all while jamming to the beach boys surfing USA - which was neat and terrifying at the same time, ha! They have an arcade but we didn't try that out. Plenty of parking and restrooms. Would recommend!

Too many crane games which are always at full price. Tried playing a few games but am still learning how to play and win. My go-to is now the Wizard of Oz because I can play for a long time on the bonus game (4 pays). Arcade card costs $1. I filled my card with $20 plus a $5 bonus. Wednesday is half price arcade games, which is the only deal I believe they offer. Lots of exchange options but what would I find useful. We needed help operating the card exchange machines.

Another thing I extremely appreciate is that they have wipe stations throughout, so you can clean off the games if you'd like. Ps-- Harry Potter playing on the screens that day was a major bonus.

All staff we encountered were kind, and helpful (I got lost looking for my family!). They have a couple bars located inside, I believe one on each side. I actually learned about a new to me canned spritzer I had never heard of or seen before. Food orders are placed via kiosk, and they surprisingly had way more than the typical concession stand options. I mean, a frisco melt at the bowling alley? Sign me up, I suppose! My brother ordered it, and I had a bite or two. Not too bad. Don't leave without stopping by the arcade!!

I had to pay for shoes and for 5 kids it came out to a little over $21. I have not been here since April, and I noticed they renovated the seats. Instead of chairs and tables with chairs that swivel, they now have couches and cushioned stool chairs. It looks more modern, but it does make the bowling area more compact. They were comfortable. My kids enjoyed playing, they get competitive so it was fun to watch them really focus and trying hard.

It's a very small bowling alley and the parking lot looked full, but we took our chances and thankfully we did. The worker told us there was a very long wait, but since we only had 4 people, he said he would move us up the line, and we were able to get a lane right away (we felt very lucky). We have member cards, but since it was so busy, there was no discount on this day. This day was very crowded inside, but we did get a table close to our lane that had 4 seats, perfect for us. These lanes seem smaller than other bowling alleys, and the pins are on strings. The workers put the names in for you, unlike other bowling alleys we have been too. We had the choice of bowling for 1 hour or 1.5 hours, and we chose 1.5 hours. The cost for 1.5 hours of bowling time and shoes for four was $91. Even with the business, they had balls available to use. We were able to bowl two full games to completion in this time. They have food and drinks for sale. My husband purchased a tall mango cart can for $5. They have a machine to purchase songs, so music is played in the building. We enjoyed our time!
