Probably one of my favorite places in Nashville so far.Super nice and open. Drinks are reasonably priced. I would say the best deal is the pitcher of Sangria for 35 dollars.Edit: went back again and the sangria was different which was fine, but feel like it wasn’t as alcoholic/had a lot more ice. Nonetheless it was goodArcade games are free, you can reserve your table as a home base, pinball is 25 cents I believe.Has nice outdoor area with decent view. Dog friendly outside. He said they used to be dog friendly overall until Covid, but that would be super cool.Like I said, this place is awesome. Great way to spend a Friday night/Saturday or any day really.

Im so upset to have to write a negative review, as I really enjoyed the atmosphere and love that it is dog friendly. However, a staff member at the end of the night completely ruined my and my friends experience. Last call was called at 10:30 so we all ordered 1 more drink. Right after ordering, they came up and said they had to shut off the fire (we were sitting outside because there wasnt room inside), and we were freezing since it was 40 degrees out. This is fine if you want to close 30 minutes early, but dont do last call at 10:30 then! Finally, they let us sit inside where its warmer. At 10:50 our drinks finally arrive, and 30 seconds after having them delivered a staff member comes up and tells our group that we need to leave now. He told us that we need to chug our drinks because they have to have everyone cleared out BY 11pm, so we need to leave NOW. We said that we will be out by 11pm, no problem, but were going to finish our drinks. He then proceeded to use a number of profanities and then picks up one of our drinks and splashes it on us!!!! Wow, I was appalled. After asking for a manager, she said he is one of their best employees. What kind of level of service do they have here?!After the encounter, a manager let me know she would review the video/audio and send me an email by Saturday. 3 days later and still no reply.

Fun place to hang out. Love that it is dog friendly. Very limited menu, there used to be food trucks not sure if they are doing that anymore. Mixed drinks are pretty pricey. Do not waste your money on any of the pitchers they are all ice.

Really cool spot. Got a ton of these mini bowling lanes, where the ball is no bigger than a 16 softball and has no holes in em. Pinball machines. Bacci ball. Their arcade was down, but the rest of the games the good beers and the atmosphere made up for it. Bartender was super nice too. 10/10 would recommend.

The atmosphere and games are great. However when checking out the bartender assumed I wanted to tip 25% and checked the 25% box on a check of $86 for just drinks. I personally dont appreciate that. Ill choose what I want to tip. If it werent for that, 5 stars but instead they get 3.ake sure you check your tab!

Fun place! Great atmosphere and lots to do. Came here with a group of friends and had a blast. Real retro vibe with the video games and pinball machines. The drinks were fresh and different, each had a different piece of old-fashioned candy to showcase the name of the drink. The mini bowling was alot of fun. Lots of outdoor games to play as well with fireplaces all around. Highly recommend coming by for a fun night out away from Broadway!

Great place for beer and fun. Make sure you dont forget your drivers license here. Love bowling

Review №12

Wow! Business must be GREAT guys; because the rudeness made us all believe there were ZERO regards. We finished our bowling game, and the “attendant” literally muttered “can you guys go back to your table, we have others waiting 30 seconds after bowling our last ball. We are natives and want to give back to our community but will not be back. It’s just the rudeness... we simply can’t support.! There is a way to address guests/patrons, and you all simply have not mastered that art. I was tempted to give zero stars, but every other time I’ve been here it hasn’t been miserable like this time. DONT BE RUDE!

Review №14

It’s fun. The vibe definitely isn’t too friendly to minorities. If you walk around here prepare to get suspicious looks. If you’re into that then this your place. After you get passed that, it’s fun. The atmosphere is different. Prices are decent. Floor layout is cool. As a gulch resident...Would I recommend it, yes. Will I come back, once every other month.

Review №18

Pins Mechanical is a really great spot to hang out, especially during COVID. They have plenty of space to space people out at tables, and take it all quite seriously. The bowling prices are great ($6/game per person) and the environment is very inviting and fun. It’d be hard to not enjoy yourself here, even if you don’t bowl or play Bocce ball. There’s also a huge arcade, but it’s been closed since March understandably. Most importantly are the drinks. We tried everything from beer, Old Fashioneds, to some of the specialty cocktails. Everything was great (and a little less expensive than Broadway).

Seriously the best place ive been to in nashville. Really brings back that 90s feel growing up with games and also some new stuff. Just like everywhere ive been I do wish they had good parking. Its downtown so I understand! Yall need to come check it out! PINS MECHANICAL CO is the spot!

Great place for a night out! Selection of pinball and arcade machines is decent. Cocktails we had were great and priced reasonably. Space is huge so it doesnt feel overcrowded. Expect to see a lot of dogs since it is a dog friendly place.

First time, pretty cool place for adult fun. Outside by the fireside was pretty cool too. Service was great for a busy night and I didnt have to wait at the bar to close my tab, a server had tablet with him. Impressive.

PINS IS AWESOME. Lots of games, and a great selection of cocktails! My favorites are the Carrie Fisher and the Lisa Frank. Im a regular, and one thing I really enjoy about this place is the overall atmosphere. Its so retro and old school. I love it, and Ive told all my friends about it! Perfect hang out spot for groups and date nights. They even have a gorgeous outdoor patio with fire pits. You should definitely check it out if youre in Nashville. I always bring visitors here.

Review №28

Way cool spot! If you havent tried duck bowling while enjoying a cocktail you need to. Its a lot less serious and a lot more fun than traditional bowling. Its a great place for kids before 8:00 pm. Its a lot of fun for adults after 9:00 pm. They usually have a good truck for grub while youre chilling and playing classic arcade games and pinball.

Place is huge with multiple bars and tables everywhere. The bowling is like mini bowling but looks fun and theres no noise and the lanes are very short. Lots of beers and cool cocktails to choose from. Only downside to the popularity is the wait to get a drink.

El
Review №32

Overall a fun place. The cocktails are good and reasonably priced. The food trucks are an interesting way to skip having a menu. The place is enormous but still gets unbelievably crowded on the weekends. Recommend being willing to stand and wait for pretty much anything.

Review №33

This place is amazing!!! If you need a night out, this is a great hang out spot. You can order food from other places to it, like pizza or any of the delivery services, and they also have food trucks and specials. Great pinball machines and nice arcade cabinets, along with duck pin bowling.

Review №35

Theres a wait list of 2.5 - 3 HOURS to do anything at all. Bowling, Bocce, or ping pong.Pins is well kept and has a lot to offer, but theres just no time. Parking starts at $17. We paid for 4-hr parking and just barely had enough time to wait and bowl 1 game. To make this work youre better off waiting until 8:00 at night, Sunday-Wednesday.

Cool place. Lots of things to do. Awesome pinball machines and arcade games and the duck pin bowling was a ton of fun. Needs more local beer on draft, but no other complaints. Staff was very attentive and everything seemed rather clean and well organized.

Great little hangout spot, especially for tourists. The barcode has an excellent assortment of video games, pinball, and yard games. Duckpin bowling is a must!

Review №38

This place is legit. Literally has something (or 10 things) for everyone! Entertainment is either free or affordable and the draft list and craft cocktail lists are extensive. Plenty of dogs to pet. Food trucks outside. People watching 101. We found our new hang!

Review №39

Cool place, plenty of things to do, I’m sure it’ll be packed in the summer but their prices are a lie. They have a large wall that has “$10 cocktails”, (well ignore the fact that they used to be $8 cocktails and they raised prices already after being open for a couple of months) but they aren’t. Ordered one drink from the wall and it was over $13 before tax, asked the bartender about it and he just kind of said “whatever, nothing I can do about it, I’ll mention it to a manager”. Don’t know if they’re being intentionally misleading because so many people will just order and not pay attention but it was really insulting and uncaring to me.

This place is soo dope! Superrr helpful and friendly staff, they took the time to explain all the games and things they had going. Even told me to go to the mens bathroom for some funny neons! This place has everything from bowling to pinball machines and everything in between. You can even play Super Nintendo and Sega! They also old school arcade machines which we thought was super cool! Our crew will definitely be coming back

Review №44

A lot going on...and it is cool...but the wait staff seemes somewhat disinterested in stopping at every table/party in attendance the evening I went. We were told servers would come to us, but more often than not we had to either go find them or just go from our seats to the bar. Again...cool place...but the whole every server waits on everyone thing needs some work

Review №45

This is a really fun place. Bring plenty off friends and a childish mentality. Youre going to have a good time... Unless youre a FUN HATER! Arcade games, pinball machines, mini bowling, and more. Plus, have some drinks, laughs, and keep your face off your phone.

Review №46

So much to do for everyone. Duck bowling is so much more of a group activity then regular bowling. Instructions for bocci ball can help even the novice become a pro. Try your hand at pin ball for $0.50 or any of the classic arcade games for free. The draft beer list is great but the cocktail list is even better.

Review №47

Five stars for allowing dogs INSIDE! This is a huge space and its always great when a bar has activities. Its set up so parents can have some adult fun with their kids, except you can only feed them from one food truck. I imagine it will be the go-to place for tourists, especially on bad weather days and Thursday-Sunday. Locals wanting their space will want to pick off-times.

We had an absolute blast here. We live in Chicago and dont know how were going to live without duckpin now. We stumbled upon this on accident and ended up coming back again another day. The environment is so spacious and wonderful. The games are a blast. And nothing was too expensive! Loved it and highly recommend!

First time here. A large space and they have every inch of it covered with entertainment. Vintage arcade games are free! The duckpin bowling was new to me but fun. Great for groups. Due to construction parking was tough but hopefully that will be over soon enough. I hope to take the family there again.

Review №56

Really fun vibe with candy-decorates cocktails on the arcade side, and a bit more grown-up vibe over near bowling. Great to have bar experience with something to do while you’re there! Good variety of activities at different price points including the free arcade games. Food trucks outside are a nice way of dealing with not having a kitchen.

We visited Sunday and my group wanted to playing the bowling game. One of the works came up and told me that I couldnt have my little pomchi dog inside due to the covid-19 rule they have in place. No where in the rule moon their website or on Tn.gov covid-19 laws does dogs come up. So I had to be separated from my group cause that rule was not stated anywhere. If you want to make it a rule put it on the website so ppl with dogs can plan to go to another place that is dog friendly.

This is a fun place to hang out. The sign-up list to play Ping Pong is intimidatingly long, but dont lose heart; most people bail before it is their turn, so the line moves quickly. I went from 42nd in line to 1st, in an hour and fifteen minutes.They also have a couple of Sega Genesis!

I really want to love this place. I live right next to it and am dying to make this my favorite spot but the cocktails need improvement so badly! They are so sugary and taste horrible!

What a great fun place to go. Dog friendly, great wine and beer selection, craft cocktails and lots of fun games! Definitely a great fun place to hangout, both for small groups and also large company parties.If youve never tried duckpin bowling, youre in for a treat. If bowling isnt your thing, they also have pinball, bocce ball, ping pong tables, and other games I dont even remember!Just a warning, depending on the night, you might be in for a wait on the bowling lanes. Its a busy place. If you can ride share, do it. Parking is tough.

Great place to go with friends to hang and watch the game on a big couch, play a few frames on their miniature bowling lanes, or challenge each other to bocci ball, ping pong, giant Jenga, giant beer pong, and more!
