While this is a fun place to go play games and bowl. overall it does not have much of a variety of video games. Mainly set up for little kids. They do have a Rockwall bumper cars and bowling to go along with the few games they have. The place is vastly understaffed and some of the games don't work and there are not any out of order signs on them. we wasted a lot of money on games that don't. But if you're going for bowling and some snacks, it's not bad once you get service. read more

My son and his wife paid over 300.00 to have my sons birthday party there. The parking took too much time and while my daughter tried to find a parking spot they would not let us in to decorate. They said my sons name was not on the reservation which is her husband and the one who paid! so the party started late. We were rushed to leave the room after we were not let into our room on time. It's all about money and not customer service! I manage a restaurant in another state, this would never happen where I manage! Never again! read more

1st visit wasn't great. The staff registering to bowl wasn't very helpful. The young man at the desk plugged in my phone number wrong. 40 minutes later, I asked where I was on the list. The young man said he texted me twice. I asked him what number he used and he gave me a wrong number. Then he said that was the number I gave him. Next, I asked to bowl for 2 hours and he said I could only bowl for 1 hour because my lane already had an upcoming reservation. Once I challenged him, he changed me to another lane but tried to charge me for shoes even though I told him we had shoes. Next I went to the bar where I was greeted with a sarcastic "Yes", not Hello or how can I help you. Afterwards, my girls ordered shakes but had to wait 10 minutes for the manager to approve our military discount. Once approved, the server had to refill the shake machine but somehow the shake machine stopped working. 1 hour and twenty minutes later we were given our shakes and told that we would be credited but they never happened. Before leaving, I tried to close my tab for the beer but after waiting more than 5 minutes without even a hello, I left. The establishment is very nice and clean but the staff needs some customer service training. For the prices they charge, one would expect to be treated with some respect and quality customer service! read more

I'm a teacher's aid for an 18+ special needs classroom. We purchased a package for our class to enjoy lunch, bowling, games and attractions. Food was awesome, everybody got their fill and then some of some tasty chicken tenders and fries. We had a gentleman waiting on us named Christian who was absolutely amazing-- great with our students, incredibly helpful and wonderfully courteous. We all had a fun time playing for hours, and everyone running the attractions and bar/food area was super friendly and patient. Only gripe was the games; a lot of the arcade cabinets weren't on or they took our credits and did nothing. There were technicians running around the entire time we were there trying to fix something or another. All in all, though, a fun time was had by all. Lovely location, lovely staff! read more

Second time here. Love and enjoy the games and environment. Moderately priced for games/food. Bar and food service sucks, bartenders are slow and they honestly look like they don't want to be there, but whatevs. Hope they find a job they do like at some point (I get it) lol Shakes are great! read more

Dope spot. I love the kid free vip lounge. It's a dope spot for adults to play and drink. There is plenty of parking and the staff is super friendly. We will definitely be back to visit. Great craft cocktails and TVs everywhere. read more

EVERYTHING WAS AWESOME.... But 10 STARS GOES TO THE KITCHEN AND BAR STAFF!! WE....did everything the hard way. First time here and we ordered food at bar but wanted to sit at booth.... Should have done it the way designed, sat in restaurant area. Zee and Menko fixed all of our issues with a big smile! We felt bad but they made us at home! Thank you two! read more

This place is great if you're not the one paying haha Place is on the higher end side but it's fun. They have number cars, laser tag, bunch of games, full bar and kitchen. The staff was really great and attentive. Janai and Kerne was amazing to our party. We had drinks, desserts, chicken sliders, tacos and chips with salsa. The games on the other hand are on the higher end side, there's no 50 cent games here. The prizes are nice but you need to work hard on those tickets. Jolly rancher was 25 tickets... a little jolly rancher. read more

My niece had her birthday party here - plenty of space, two bars, bowling, tons of weekly specials, and late-night options. I ordered potato skins, and they were fresh, not frozen, loaded with all the fixings, and served with ranch! There's also a TV screen, so I would love to come here and watch some football, etc. Plus, there are many games, laser tag, and more. read more

Love this place - something for everyone !! Have had 2 parties here and both were a lot of fun Friendly staff too read more

I get that the staff might have been overwhelmed, but that doesn't excuse the rude and unhelpful attitude we experienced. At the end of the day, good customer service is part of the job. The way we were treated made the whole visit frustrating and disappointing. Definitely expected better. On top of that, the arcade area and bowling shoes had a noticeable, unpleasant smell . read more

Definitely recommend this place .. Good for everyone in the Family... u will find something to do here ... From drinking to playing games to eating.... The food was Good too. Friendly staff. Great service. read more

I hosted a party here for my kids 11th birthday and although we did have a blast and the host was nice, even the manager extended my room time. It's just not worth the party package. To only have the room for 45 min is very rushed. I felt rushed to eat , to sing happy birthday and when it was time . The room was crowded with like 10 people that worked there to get ready for the next party, all of the kids goodie bags were thrown away , our left over food was thrown out , even after telling the host I wanted to keep any food , the package came with unlimited drinks but we got no refills . The arcade gaming system is very confusing as well . My kids had the blue games unlimited for 2 hours but points was needed for all other games . It's more of the other color games than the blue that's included. The price is not worth it. It's a fun place for a family outing but for birthdays the setup is very poorly thought out. read more

I really don't like leaving negative reviews but this place needs a lot of work. The facility is beautiful and new and there are so many activities to do! Unfortunately, the people who work there are either over-utilized or just don't care about providing good customer service. I've been twice and my first visit was so bad I said I wouldn't return but I decided to give it another chance a few months later to see if things had improved. They have not. First time I went was late at night and there were very few people in the restaurant area. It still took over 20 minutes to even give our order and then had to track someone down just to pay after we ate. We could have walked out on the bill and I doubt anyone would have even noticed. Second visit was today during the day. Same type of service. I get it that places are short staffed, but this place takes the cake on poor service. Its a shame too because this place has some really fun activities. If you do try this place out, don't have too high of expectations. Maybe you'll have a better experience than I did! read more

I had such high hopes for pinstack and unfortunately after several meals and poor customer service interactions we will not be frequenting pinstack as much as I had hoped. We came for Father's Day and had the special tomahawk. Which was good. The kids liked their food. But since there is one kitchen servicing the bar, bowling and restaurant our food took a really really long time. Our server was super nice though. But for such a lovely building and atmosphere the service is lack luster. Our next visit we sat for 20 minutes before anyone came to check on us for drinks. Our food was just ok, kind of under whelming and our order was incorrect. We even enrolled in the premium membership account, which still has not been added to our account. My husband got feedback from the GM to contact corporate (as the local store was unable to remediate). That proved to be unproductive as he still never got any feedback after working through the channel. If we come back it will be for the early bird bowling. The games are ok, but they are also starting to show wear and tear. But a good option for entertaining kiddos or adults in AC. Sadly with each visit it has been a worse experience each time. I am hopeful though that with better workflows they can come around and be great! read more

These guys never wax their bowling lanes, only come here if the real bowling alleys are full

My adventures at Pinstack was pretty cool. I went to go and have some drinks. I enjoyed bowling, it's been a while. I had two big mugs of Ultras. They have rope climbing but I did not partake in that. After bowling we went to the arcade and it was cool. I got addicted to Willy Wonka coin game. It's got a cool vibe just watch out with all the little kids running around. I would definitely go back when I feel the need to bowl and have a couple of beers. read more

The service staff were really nice but they were really slow. Not sure if it was because it was a Friday. It seemed busy at first but there weren't not many lanes opened. They messed up on my order and the manager comped it, which is really appreciated. I would go back but probably during the day during the week to see if better experience. read more

Colin the manager was very rude. He carelessly sprayed cleaning solution near and on our food and drinks. When confronted, he continued to do so. We asked for a refund but refused to make it right. He's a terrible manager. read more

To avoid a long wait, we chose VIP bowing room ($60 ) as the regular lane ($40 +) has already booked up. It was a good choice with extra $20. Tried both a buzzer and other staff to ask server upon seating. But server showed up in 20 min. The bowling facility is a new and great condition though. read more

Pinstack - Bowling Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Man... For being out of towners... This was a great random pick. We ate lunch here and the food was amazing. Waiter was very cordial. I will say that the game room was very interesting. If you play games for tickets to buy things, be prepared to spend a fortune. If you go to just enjoy wha t they have for an hour or two... Which is what we did... It will be fun. We spent $75 on a points card for 2 adults and 3 kids. We had a blast for 2 hours. You can't split the points into different cards ( bummer), you just have to get them all on one card and share. Not a big deal for our family. Good for a rainy day or any day really. Kid for friendly, safe environment, and just overall chill. Never got to bowl due to the wait and our limited time frame. read more

Awesome place! Friendly staff and the pizza was amazing the onion rings were definitely my favorite!

A great arcade / bowling alley combo with a variety of fun activities for the family. read more

Pinstack - Arcade - Bowling Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

When we first walked in it was a little overwhelming to start (but in a good way)! We put ourselves on the list to eat and played games while we waited. The Nashville chicken sandwich and pizza were super delicious! Brisket nachos too! We didn't get to bowl due to the wait but we'll try it next time! Service was great and the place overall was super fun! We'll be back very soon :) read more

Pinstack is a new bowling amusement place that has made its way to San Antonio. It's a nice set up with an arcade area that includes games where you can win tickets for prizes, two bar areas where you can get top shelf drinks or a cold draft beer, snacks with huge milkshakes and two areas where you can bowl with friends and family. It's pretty clean. The food smelt amazing and very large orders of pizza. The picture shows an advertisement on the screen for a 36" pizza and it looks good. The prices are on the high end for something you can get cheaper elsewhere but your paying for the experience. We got the VIP area where you can bowl with a big group and have your own server come to you to take your food/drink orders. It was $50/hr per lane and for the same experience you can grab a lane in the general area for cheaper. Before noon the price in the general area was $10/hr per lane. Was a little disappointed with there being a big price difference between the two areas to bowl at but the experience was not any different. The servers were friendly and so were the people working the desks however, there was nothing that set the service apart from any other amusement area. Pinstack is a must try experience but if I am going to go bowl with friends, I'll probably go to a cheaper location since Pinstack's high end experience is really average compared to other amusement places. I had fun though read more

Pinstack - Bowling in the VIP Room - Bowling Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

My kids had been begging to check out Pinstack, so I made reservations online for bowling. We arrived right at opening, so I don't think I really needed the reservations. For evening or night bowling I would definitely book ahead. Pinstack has all kinds of stuff to do: bumper cars, VR, arcade games, ropes course, laser tag, and bowling. What I really like is that the kids can just use points for everything (minus bowling), which means I don't have to separately figure out VR, bumper cars etc. They can just do it all from the card. The place is super clean and well spread out. I never felt like there were too many people crowded together. There is also a large dining area for lunch/dinner. The bowling has drink and food service, with specials on appetizers certain nights of the week. The margarita I ordered was great. I tried to take pictures of the pricing because it definitely varies on the date and time you go. The service was very friendly and I never had trouble finding help with the rides. I prefer Pinstack to the other places that I have gone to in town. It just seems easier to navigate, and the kids loved it. read more

We had a blast at our company party, the food was good, the drinks were good. The service was wonderful and we had a blast bowling together in our own private bowling area, cool spot with lots of fun to be had by all! read more

We booked a VIP lane and the service was horrible for the price we paid. We arrived 745pm 15 mins early like the email stated. We went to check in for the attendant to tell us to come back closer to 8pm. We returned to the counter a little after 8pm checked in and were assigned a lane. When we arrived to our lane the area was a mess. There was trash and food leftover from the previous party. We sat an waited about 10 mins for someone to come clean the area no one showed up. I went to the front counter asked for a manager and explained what was going on. The manager told me he would take care of it no one ever came. We ended up cleaning our own VIP area so we could just start our game. We started our bowling and wanted to order drinks but there was no waitress. Waited and pushed the service button workers would come in and turn the call button off. I went again and spoke with the manager again said he would take care of it 10 mins later we finally got a waitress to take our order. We bowled an entire game about 40 mins before a drinks arrived. We ended up going to the bar and got our own drinks before the one we ordered for the waitress arrived . We also ordered apps which didn't arrive until we were done bowling and ended up sending them back. The entire party was just fed up and ready to go. We complained several times to different supposedly managers and nothing was ever done. All in all the experience was horrible not even worth 1 star. Don't waste your money on the VIP general lanes are half the price and the service is no different. read more

This place was pretty cool, had tons of games, the food and drinks were great. Staff was busy but still checked in. My only issue is we had a lane reserved but the group before us stayed and cut into our reservation and stayed in the lane and table area . We brought it to the staffs attention but there wasn't too much they could do but other than that the place is a good size and was good for our small birthday event read more

Avoid this place at all costs unless you want your vehicle broken into. Just came out from an outing of bowling with my kids to find my window smashed out...exact same thing happened to my law partner in the exact same parking lot two weeks ago. The place is fun but not THAT fun... I don't know whose responsibility it is (Pinstack's or the property manager, as that is not my field of practice), but until there is a security guard or guards patrolling the parking lot I won't be back. read more

Myself, my daughter & her 2 children went bowling. Other than it being pricey for 2 hours bowling. We ordered food & it was brought to the lane. Noise is loud but it was happy noise & we added our voices. Food was good. Other than the price it was a blast! read more

This was my first time visiting Pinstack because I passed by it numerous times. I decided to do my research and celebrate my birthday here with my friends. Pinstack is far cheaper than Bowlero, and has so much to do, even more than Main Event. While it was quite obvious some workers did not want to be there, we had the best server Daniel who catered to my party and was happy to help us! Our food (nachos, fried pickles, and pizza were delicious! I went here on a Thursday night and it was quite empty with no wait times and relaxing. The arcade games were also very fun with numerous choices. Thank you Daniel and Pinstack for making my birthday one to remember, and I will be back! read more

They only oil their lanes once a week. Not a place for bowlers, if you want to hook your ball go elsewhere. Straight garbage lanes

We rented bowling lanes for a team building event and overall it was a success. The staff was very kind and helpful. The only complaint I might have was that the service was extremely slow considering it is a newer establishment, with that being said the staff did apologize and explained some of their management did not arrive to work that day. Hopefully next time around they will be properly staffed, but with all of the factors involved I would definitely recommend going there. read more
