Brought our own food. Service was great and prices were reasonable. We played duck-pin bowling up on the top floor, and it was a ton of fun, but it was a million degrees up there. Will definitely be back

We went here with 3 adults and 2 young kids on a Friday around 5pm. We were aiming to beat the crowd and we did. We parked in the garage right beside Pins. This was my first time here. You walk in and pay for the duck pin bowling. I was pretty shocked that they made us pay for a 2 yr old...who pretty much got a gutter every time. Also, they accept NO CASH, but at the same time make you pay a processing fee. Doesn't seem right. At that time it's $9/person/game...more than regular bowling. In duck pin bowling you roll 3 times per turn. We got a lane right away. We ordered 2 drinks from the bar for $12 each and the glass was less than a cup in measurement, filled with ice and barely any alcohol. I got the one with whiskey, amaretto and caramel and all I could taste was caramel. It's a pretty cool place with tons of nooks and crannies to sit and play games. Cornhole inside, bocce ball, arcade games, and more. They have a 2 story slide were excited about for the girls, but I went down it first and man it is aggressive. I'm 5'6 and my leg jolted on the side with my tennis shoes getting slightly caught. Freaked my 4 yr old out when she went down it once. I was pretty shocked they had no food of their own. How does an active bar/family/friend gathering place (with multiple floors of people) get away with no food? Have Mike's Slices of pizza next door with an entrance from Pins. So you can eat pizza if you want. We didn't not try it, so I can't comment on the pizza. They have lots of tables that are for big groups of people, so that's nice. Bar upstairs and downstairs. The employees never checked on us and weren't the nicest at the ticket/entrance counter. The bowling itself was fine...it just went quick when you only play 1 game. We didn't want to pay $18/person to stay for another game. The massive lite brite that they have on the wall is cool!

Super cool duck pin bowling alley and arcade. All the arcade games are free (including skeeball!) but the pinball costs quarters and you do normally have to wait for a bowling lane, but it really is a bunch of fun. There are multiple full bars and you can bring Mikey's Late Night Slice in, but on busier nights be prepared to wait in lines at the bar (they do move quick though). Drink prices are what you would expect in a more upscale bar atmosphere but there are good cocktails. There is also a two story metal slide. Great for wearing the kids out.

What's not to love about this big, beautiful barcade? Seriously - now that I live out west I'm dying for them to build one of these out here. No barcades can compete with all the free, and low-cost activities here. I'm pretty sure the only games you have to pay for are bowling and pinball, and there's so much more to do. They also have tons of beer on tap and they're dog friendly!! We come to pins every time we visit Ohio, love it so much!
