First time experience of this kind of fun!! This is totally for group fun! Nothing serious and don't need formal Bowling strength and techniques. I did enjoy great fun and wonderful time. In case that people don't like Bowling, there are also classic arcades and pinball machines. This is really a place where you can have fun and relax!! The cost? It's inexpensive compared to Bowling!! Love it!!

This place was jumping! There were a couple of different social groups I was meeting up with on separate occasions, and I was able to bounce back and forth with ease! There were a couple of food trucks out there, great atmosphere. It was raining, but it didn't stop the drinks from flowing and the people from having a good time! Parking was easy to find, well lit area so safe walking to your car, definitely recommend, and most definitely coming back!

MY FAVORITE BAR IN CHARLOTTE! that said I am a gamer and a large part of my excitement is due to the Nintendo 64s, the pinball machines and other games available to play there (only the N64 are FTP) HOWEVER this bar does get quite busy around peak hours. They have a rooftop, fire pits, duck ball and more to appeal to everyone. Great spot all and all and personally it brings me so much happiness

This was my first time here. I came alone on a Sunday to play some pinball. Crowd was definitely 20 something's wearing yoga pants. Several people were roller skating (?), it was pretty busy for a Sunday evening. Pinball machines were a dollar and most of the arcade games were free. There were quite a few games. Pinball game were in pretty good condition, a few games needed some tweaks/minor repairs. Lots to do here, a few people had brought their dogs. The mini pin bowling was popular. Cool place. Lots of parking in the area. Beers were a bit pricey and had a nonsensical flat-rate per size pricing structure that certainly leans towards increasing revenue. There was a food truck outside called "Taste of New York" where I ordered the worst $13 philly cheese steak ever created.

Pins was a lot of fun. The games are always fun to play with your friends and chill with while having a few drinks. Definitely enjoy this place as it's spacious and laid back. The rooftop is always a really cool view and fun place to chill as well if you're looking for just the bar scene.
