the front of Pins Mechanical Company

Where do i even begin….

My friend and I just happened upon the adult playground (kids are welcome too). We were driving down the street and said, what is this, it looks cool. We thought we would check out Pins Mechanical Company.


After finding a parking spot on the street (sweet), we walked over and encountered the bouncer/security guy (a sweetheart). We asked about the place and he explained. All the vintage video games are free, all the games outside are free, ping pong is free. The only games you have to pay for are the pinball machines ($1 per game) and duckpin bowling, a cross between bowling and skeeball ($6 per game per person)



What a great idea. Come in, get a drink and just hang out and enjoy yourself. The vibe is like being at a friend's house. Everybody is having a good time, encouraging each other and just talking to one another.


The atmosphere is great, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They have a solid selection of cocktails and beer (on tap as well as cans). The only bummer is, they do not serve food. While there is a food truck out front, you still have to go out.
