Biggest brewcade in central Ohio. Three floors of fun. TV's, bowling, bars, arcade games, ping pong tables, bowling, and much more. I was taken back by the size and potential this place has. There are so many spots here where you can have a little private party. Games are all pay; not free like the other locations in the city. I'm OK with this and feel like there's a reason for this. There was supposed to be 16-Bit but they just made the whole thing PIns. This place is great would be a destination spot for out of town friends. This new area of Easton is impressive and this is one of the anchor stores in this location. read more

Pins is a fun place to go! It is huge with 3 floors, including an outdoor area. Some games include pin ball, bowling, ping ping, giant jenga. Be aware that there is usually a wait for games on weekends. For example, we went around 3 on a Saturday and there was an hour and a half wait for bowling and a thirty minute for ping pong. We ended up waiting for ping pong. I loved the drink options! Specialty drinks are $10 and craft beers were $6 for a small and $9 for a large. I love the specialty drink options. We got the hulk hogan, which comes with a Popsicle in it. Other drinks that I saw people carrying around had rock candy on stick in it and nerds candy. Very fun! The reason I give 4 stars is that it was very crowded with a lot of children. Know that if you go before 7, the place will be filled with kids running around. Next time, we will go after 7! read more

Love the little pins bowling activity! Drinks are good, great vibe for a quick hang. Environment is inclusive for all ages.

This place is huge! I had been to the other two PINS and never realized how cool this one was until now. There are multiple bars so you do not need to stop at the first one by the entrance. I also like how the bowling and arcade games are spread out. Multiple giant jenga games and a slide I almost considered trying. read more

We had a party of nine for a 13 year olds birthday and we'd been there for nearly 3 hours spending money and waiting to bowl. Suddenly and without warning we were told we had to leave our table with the place packed. They said our table was reserved for a party in 15 minutes. (but when we had gotten there, we picked the table specifically because it DIDN'T have a reserved sign - while many others DID have reserved signs). I asked him if he would help us find a new table since we had such a large party - he said he wouldn't do that. The employees here have no clue what's going on. They kicked us off our table with a large group with no remedy whatsoever and acted like it was our problem. We will never return to any Pins locations. EVER. read more

PiNS is the place to be. Great Drinks and Awesome games. I highly recommend you check it out. read more

Pin's is a lot of fun! I'm in my mid 30's now and I'm not use to loud environments anymore but that's not anyone's fault once I was able to drink a few drinks the noise didn't bother me so much. After 8pm it's 21+ which is nice! It's a big location with two floors and a giant slide. The bartenders are attentive and friendly. It was about a hour wait for bowling. In the meantime we played arcade games and jenga. If you get hungry Condado Tacos is within walking distance! read more

We had a team-building outing for remote workers from all over Ohio, and the staff (especially TJ, the manager who went above and beyond) was helpful in booking our event and making sure we had a great time. We reserved a duck pin bowling lane easily in a great location for the adults attending. Everyone easily ordered drinks on our group tab and food from the adjoining hot dog stand. Although not a place you'd want to take a team for a deep conversation (that is, quiet and subdued), Pins Mechanical was perfect to let loose and have fun with coworkers. read more

Good drinks, good vibes, and good crowd You can bring your dog too Lots of good restaurants close by read more

I've been in Columbus for my whole life but yet just visited Pins. I've been to 16-bit downtown, but this Easton location is HUGE. 3 floors!!! There is so much to do, it was very cool. The drinks are funky and fun, and not too pricey. I went on a Thursday night and it was mostly young adults, group gatherings, or office functions. Kids aren't allowed after 8pm and we watched them enforce that rule which was nice. read more

Came here for an after work good bye. Opened a tab at the bar; the draft beer choices are in the extreme light side, vanilla porter was as dark as it goes; cocktails are listed and wife liked the Carrie Fisher. Server did roam the floor; we used the bar since I tried a couple of the drafts. Food comes from the hot dog place next door, it was good. The arcade and table games are free. Bowling was a charge, we didn't bowl. There were a few children since it was 4:30. Couch pit was ideal for our get together. Did about everything in the 2:30 hours we were there. It was enjoyable enough. read more

Love this place and so did the kids! It was perfect for a little afternoon activity. The kids really enjoyed the bowling, arcade games and of course the slide. We'll be back very soon. read more

I guess I never knew the concept of this place! But this is a GREAT idea to go to if you wanna throw a big birthday for any age. Only bad thing you aren't allowed to bring balloons, but you can bring in any food you want and then order drinks and play all the games they have to offer. They have a ton of space for seating and tables you will have no trouble finding a spot! Even have a fun slide for all ages if you want to go from the highest floor to bottom quickly. read more

I always love coming to pins!!! One of my favorite places to take people when they are in town visiting. So much to offer for fun! Lot's of arcade games, mini bowling, ping pong, and much more. They have many cocktail and beers choices to choose from, I recommend the "Hulk Hogan". Great staff, and lot's to do. Pro's: Fun place with lots of fun games to offer. Con's: No food or snacks. read more

I just found out that kids are allowed before 8pm!! What better way to entertain kids than free games and bowling! This was a hit for our kids and we enjoyed drinks as they played around and went down the slide. Couple tips- Bowling line is always very long so if you want to play get your name in as soon as you enter. I think it was $6pp which is reasonable and more fun than regular bowling They have amazing outdoor space that you can enjoy I even saw smokers which you never see that anywhere around here so a nice place to drink & smoke & chill if thats your thing They dont have ANY FOOD OPTIONS so bring your own food/pizza whatever you like. Plan ahead and you will enjoy the whole experience way more! This location feels the most spacious compared to downtown & Dublin so I would recommend you try out this one at Easton if Pins have been on your list. read more

Absolute fun for the whole family. wish they served food of their own. also difficult getting up and down stairs

I've visited many pins locations and this one is my favorite! It's almost never over crowded but also never uncomfortable empty. This location has a much larger collection of games and duck pin bowling then most locations. Offering such a large footprint made of areas designed to accommodate a great conversation! The outdoor top patio is heated and a great place to get fresh air and away from the music and game machine noise. The slide is so fun and coupled with the arcade it really brings back the nostalgia and care free feeling of being a kid but without the kids and adding alcohol! Their is multiple bars offering great selection of drinks and service. There is no food offerings... YET. ( they are adding at the Dublin location so fingers crossed). Definitely an amazing place to kick back and enjoy some company! read more

We've visited the other locations previously but wanted to check out the Easton one because I believe it's bigger and has more variety of activities. We went on a Friday at 7pm. First impressions were shock at how many kids were running around. Kids are great but not ideal to me in a drinking environment (I did learn that it's a no kid zone after 8pm). There was a 1 1/2 hour wait which made me hesitate but I'm so glad we stuck it out! This spins has a 16 Bit arcade section with plenty of arcade games, a giant light bright, skee-ball, a lounge area with Super Nintendo and Sega, bocce ball, giant beer pong, ping pong, connect four and Jenga. There is no shortage of things to do! We had a blast playing the games of our high school years. There's also a stunning patio upstairs with gorgeous views of all of the lights in Easton, heaters and multiple fire bowls. They don't serve food BUT I saw that plenty of people had brought in pizzas from other local spots. What a great idea! Eat and play while you wait. The arcade games are mostly free and the duck pin bowling is only $6 pp so you can't beat the value for a super fun date night or nights out with friends. read more

Tried to come here on a Saturday evening for a date night. (Love the downtown location) but there were so many kids it felt more like a Dave and busters than a bar. The bar tender didn't know how to make the drink I ordered but offered to try it. That would've been nice if she didn't then charge every ingredient in the cocktail as a separate drink totaling $36 for something that turned out AWFUL. Won't be coming here again. read more

My 10yr old son and I LOVE Pins...specifically the Easton location! Super kid friendly, lots of space to socially distance, great cocktails and mock-tails. Several bars, and your tab is open at all of them, which is really nice as you move around playing different games! Something for everyone from Duck bowling to skee ball! The kiddos bowl free on Sundays with an adult! After 7pm it's 21& up, so take your kids early for a family fun day! We like to go when it opens so we have our pick of duck bowling lanes and machines! All the activities are reasonably priced, they do have change machines bring small bills! read more

can't believe we hadn't checked out this place sooner! we stopped by after our dinnerdate just to check out the scene and were really impressed. we walk by this place all the time but had no idea how huge and fun it was inside. immediately slid down the obligatory slide (everyone should do it) and then found out most of the arcade games were free! since they don't have a kitchen, you can bring outside food in and enjoy their full bar. there were plenty of tables and seating available. the very next day we brought our kids back with us. our toddler looooved the arcade games. Love that there were people of all ages, from kids to teens to millenials to grandparents all enjoying the whole space and so many games. read more

Pins Mechanical - grand mimosa (on the left) tasted so good! - Bars Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Fun place to hang with family and friends. Does get a little loud and can be hard to hear when talking.

Came to Pins after our wedding service and made some memories! It was the perfect choice to wind down OR crank up the night up as we were all smiles and fun playing games and shootin the shed. The bartender named Kyle even helped us grab some great photos for which my wife is so grateful to her!! Overall a great experience through and through. Pins Mechanical Co is a gem read more

It is quite busy with a wait usually to bowl, however there is a ton of fun things to do! It's busy because it's a good time.

This place is so trendy and a great hangout. It's so much to do that even when it's busy it's something for everyone to do. read more

Very nice environment!!!! The atmosphere is great and the staff there was very courteous.

OMG, you must try this place. So fun! We played ping pong, duck pin bowling, pin ball and arcade games. Took our teenager during the day. Football was on the many giant televisions, and the beer was good. Great place! read more

Expensive drinks, really loud, long wait for pin lanes, no food offered. Comfy seating with tvs were the only thing I really liked

Yes, we love Pins, it's an amazing concept. It deserves 6 stars if there weren't the flaws with how it's ran and how the people in this area treat their facility. Where else can you have hundreds of screaming kids running around and breaking the arcade games? Chuck E Cheese!! Parents, please stay there if your children have worse ADHD than Billy Madison. It's also frustrating that there's a 3+ hour waiting list for bowling when not even half the lanes are open. Then if it only takes 2 hours but you miss the text for your 5 minute window... the people at the counter put you on the list for another 3 hour wait, no exceptions. We had our group there 6 hours in total and didn't get to bowl. It seems like a missed opportunity for them to make so much more money if you had better procedures and people who actually cared working that counter for you. All in all, great vibes after 7pm and if you don't have to talk to the people at the reservation desk. Drink that Sunny D Seltzer and enjoy (at a different location that's not kiddie birthday party central.) read more

We've loved coming to Pins for years. So it's disappointing to report our recent experience. Our party had a toddler with us. We were there for 3 hours & was having a great time until our toddler needed changed. There was a private party going on upstairs & no one from the public could go upstairs. Unfortunately, that's where the only changing table is located. Our daughter was turned away from being able to go upstairs to use the changing table. Needless to say she as frustrated & upset. She spoke to the assistant manager who was nice & professional, but didn't have a solution. So he referred her to the head manager, James Stevenson V. James informed her that the party upstairs paid $16k to rent out the space privately & she couldn't take the baby upstairs, not even with an employee going with her. She asked where he would suggest she change the baby, "on the bar counter?" His rude response was to take the baby to her car or to Macy's a couple doors down! Seriously?! So how exactly does Pins advertise that they're family friendly?! Hmm..... We'll Mr Stevenson V, you need to brush up on your professionalism & take some pointers from your assistant! He did give us a full refund. Kuddos for that! Other than that our experience with everyone else & the entertainment provided was great. Too bad James didn't take lessons from the rest of his staff. read more

It's a great place for the whole family! There is something to do for all ages, and the food and drinks are excellent!

The review is pretty self-explanatory. If you enjoy gaming and drinking, you can't really go wrong with Pins. I especially like their Jukebox Hero cocktail. read more

Great service, amazing ambiance, and family friendly during the day. Also loved the swings at this location!

Went to Pins Mar 13, from about 7-9. I've been to the one downtown, the one in Dublin and the one in OTR, and I usually have a BLAST when I go. Here's some observations: This place is HUGE. Probably one of the biggest nightclubs I've ever been to. Tons to see and do. Great drinks. Most beers are $7 or $9. Signature cocktails $10ish. There's a decent selection of old school arcade games and pinball. I'm a huge fan of pinball and play competitively. The arcade games are free to play, and so is bubble hockey. Pinball is $1 a game per person. ( other Pins locations its 50c a game per person) They had a LOT of late-model machines, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Stranger Things, Alice Cooper and other "hot" titles. At least nine of the tables were not working properly, which made me sad. I get it, its crowded, its a weekend... one of the things I really liked about rhe downtown location is the machines were impeccably maintained... The change machine was also not working although they fixed that quickly. It was SUPER loud, they play pop music at crazy loud nightclub volume. Its almost impossible to have a conversation especially with masks on. There were a TON of children in the place which makes for a whole different vibe. Its 21 and over after 8pm. They don't serve food. Easton has about 100 dining options. You can bring food in. Overall a lot of fun. It doesn't feel like an arcade with drinks, it feels like a nightclub with games. Five stars because I want them to do well. read more

This is such a fun place to hang out. They have great drinks! My favorites are the GameOver and the Cherry Whipped Vodka Slushie. They have fun life size Beer Pong, Jenga, Connect Four and other games. All of their video games are free and they also have super fun mini bowling. read more

Great place to go have fun with friends but they wouldn't let our friend in because he was 20 and they don't have a stamp system. Other bars I understand, but a place like this? They shouldn't have such a strict policy that takes effect so early. read more

We had so much fun here on a Wednesday evening and we look forward to visiting again in the future. The space is HUGE with ample bars and hang out spaces throughout. Kids were cruising around but promptly at 7pm it became adult time which was nice and appreciated. We enjoyed all of our drinks and the bartender was super knowledgeable despite a large draft list. I love that you can either hang out and chill or play various games on the different floors. This is a great addition to Easton. read more
