    A nice little place for you to have fun. They have bowling on one side and small arcade for kids on the other side. I was with my kid in the arcade space which we enjoyed and had fun. The entire arcade does not take more than 45-60 minutes to have fun but it's fun. It you are looking for some local winter fun, this is a great place. The bowling lanes are available for kids too. You can also reserve them in advance - I saw this option on the website but haven't tried personally myself.

    I came here during the day with my Coworkers for a team outing of duckpin bowling this past Monday. The place is really nice the only "complaint" I had was the temperature inside but to be fair it was one of our colder winter days. This was my first time duckpin bowling and it was fun. We took too long on our first game so the game shut down when I was making my comeback I got the bourbon bacon burger and fries for lunch. It was really good. Next time I'd get a side of bbq sauce. We checked out the arcade, I watched while they played. I probably would have played if I had more time. Im planning my next outing with friends already.

    Nice updates, love the balls all in one spot and color coordinated by weights. Gets busy you can reserve a lane ahead of time but it's costly. $70 for a Friday or Saturday and $40 for a Sunday. Staff was friendly although it was difficult to get a drink at the bar,Staff was slow to get to you. I recommend either a waitress or a QR code to order from while bowling, it's difficult to stand in line for 1 beer for 10 min when you pay by the hour for bowling. Overall I would go early and definitely try the food!!

    Pinheads in Brownsburg is an awesome addition!! The space is large and has bowling, duck pin bowling, a bar/restaurant, & an arcade! We ate dinner and had some drinks then went and played duck pin bowling. We had a blast and can't wait to go back!! We love their food and are always impressed by the quality and service!

    Took the kiddo bowling for mommy on Sunday and we had a blast. Because it was spring break there wasn't a lot of people and it was also pretty late at night so pretty empty but great customer service they were so accommodating. My son said the pepperoni personal pizza was fantastic and we like to lemonade as well. Friendly staff, fun atmosphere I really like what they have done with the makeover. Be for warned before going that it is usually Packed and busy rightfully so! So take some patience. They even have like a speakeasy bar that I have yet to try out, but it looks so fun and the outdoor area chefs kiss. And don't forget the Summer kids bowl for you in the program so sign up for some good rainy day fun or just any day.

    PLINCOOOOOO!

    SO much fun to be had here! There are plenty of lanes that are well spaced out with large farm tables at the end of each lane so that you can eat, celebrate or party while you bowl. I appreciate the fact that everything is digital such as being able to take selfies at the bowling registration board, and requesting bumpers for the not so experienced bowlers! The arcade is ridiculous!!! Somewhat casino like with bright lights everywhere and very unique and colorful games with fun to be had by everyone of all ages! The staff was very attentive and friendly also.

    The bowling alley in itself is huge, with an arcade, bar/restaurant, darts and the upstairs event space, including a more private bar/speakeasy!

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.

    My team and I had a great time at Pins! We had to wait forever for the candlestick bowling, but…read morethey were plenty of things to do while we waited. My guys played ping-pong, some game that was kind of like darts, and bocce ball while we waited. Our only complaint was that we waited forever and then we only got to play one game of candlestick bowling after waiting 2 1/2 hours to get the lane. We felt like we should be able to play at least two games. Cool thing about the weight was you can walk across the street to grab food at the food hall, which was amazing. Bartenders were great. They made an especially refreshing blackberry drink. Just wish I didn't have so much time to have so many drinks before bowling.

    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."

    This is a hidden gem at Purdue. It is a nice cute bowling place with many lanes under the Purdue…read morememorial union building. I really like the ambiance at night, when they turn on the neon lights and turn off the regular day lights. Prices aren't that bad at all too, compared to when I went bowling in California in my hometown. The workers there are nice, mostly college students. I didn't try any of the food there so I can't speak for that but overall a great place to have fun!

    The fact that the name of Purdue's student-run bowling alley is itself a 'double-meaning' is a good…read moresign. Wait, what? The Memorial Union's "Rack and Roll" is a play on the phrase 'rock & roll' (which they have playing through speakers), as well as describing exactly what you can do there: shoot billiards ('rack' the pool balls) and go bowling ('roll' the.....well, duh). So the name is (perhaps unintentionally) clever, big deal. But is it still worthy of a 5-star rating? Absolutely. Their pool tables are either in good or great condition, depending on which one you choose, but the lighting is perfectly appropriate for the nature of the sport. The arcade games are excellent as well--they have 2 pinballs, 'Family Guy' and 'Iron Man' (both newer Stern tables in fine shape), in addition to a Guitar Hero Arcade version, high-definition Terminator shoot-em-up, and several others. The bowling area is just as well-maintained, as I've never experienced an issue with balls getting stuck in the gutter, needing a pin reset, etc. The animations that are displayed after a throw (e.g. spare, strike, 7-10 split) are cute, sometimes funny even, and I'm fairly certain that they're student-made on behalf of the college of computery-people. I recall the price to bowl being very reasonable, and often times students can do so for free during special events. I loved coming here as a student to roll (just NOT on Shomer Shabbos), and I'm looking forward to many happy returns as an Alumni. The Union's Rack and Roll is a terrific place to relax in between classes or decompress after a 2-hour differential equations final. "Well, that's like, your opinion, man."
