Pins Mechanical Co.

Came for the "duck pin" ?? bowing. Enjoyed it but wished I could bowl more than one game, but when they have a wait list, only 1 game per person per lane. I respect but found that to be the disappointment of the whole experience. They will keep asking you if you want a drink if you don't have one in your hands. I understand the up sell part but have a memory that you asked me 2x already. Fun experience, but I don't see it as something I would do again. Too many children running around for my taste, even t

Our company recently got us there for our Manager's Conference and we all had a blast. The food was great, drinks were very deliciously prepared, and the service was great. The servers were constantly checking our tables and they were all friendly.

Pins Mechanical is the ultimate playground for grown-ups and kids! We stumbled into this place looking for a cold beer and a good time?and wow, did we hit the jackpot. From the second you walk in, it's all smiles and good vibes. The beer is ice cold, the music is on point, and the whole place is bursting with energy. What makes Pins a total gem? It's completely family-friendly while still feeling like your favorite bar hangout. Think duckpin bowling, giant Jenga, ping pong, foosball, and every awesome yar

Great place to hang with family and friends. Lots to do to keep the kids busy! Cocktails are great. Service is friendly. You provide your own food, Pins provides the fun.

What a great experience, other people must think that too. The place was packed and had a waiting list. When it was our turn, we enjoyed playing duck pin bowling. The only drawback was that due to the waiting list, we were only able to roll one game. (But understandable).

We had an AWESOME Christmas Party for our employees here! The staff was amazing, and we had an entire section rented out with our own bar and they provided security. Our company had a blast and I cannot say enough great things about the atmosphere and communication!

Looking for a place for the whole family to enjoy and relax? Pins Mechanical has activities for all ages, they have both indoor and outdoor seating with heaters, slides, arcade games, duckpin bowling which is so much fun, and a full bar and restaurant. They have huge televisions for catching sports games too. They host children?s parties and toddlers can even play duck bowling! That was my first time playing duck bowling and it was so much fun! You sign up for a lame and sometimes you might have to wait but

Such a fun spot! We randomly stopped by Pins Mechanical Co. while exploring The Gulch, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the night. The vibe is super laid-back but still energetic ? think industrial-chic meets adult playground. Duckpin bowling was a blast. None of us had tried it before, but it's easier to jump into than regular bowling and way more casual. You can grab drinks, hang out, and not take the game too seriously (though some of us definitely got competitive). There are also a bunch

I got engaged here last Saturday, and Faith and the whole team were seriously great. Aspen, Tony, and Carson were awesome. And Michelle was a key part of the engagement. Thank you for everything.

Really enjoyed this place: fun activities, good drinks and a great atmosphere. Pretty annoyed to see a 3.5% undisclosed BS "entertainment fee" added to every receipt after we left, tho... In spite of the response from the venue, this is not a "common approach" to manage rising costs and is certainly not "transparent." I have never experienced it before. What it is, is a way of hiding extra, undisclosed fees that will be passed on to the customer without explicitly raising the advertised prices at the point

Great date night spot. Wednesday night was perfect, not too busy to try any games we wanted. Really fun bar! Lots to do and a lot of games are free or priced very reasonably. Loved all the lawn games, mini bowling and arcade games.

We had a wonderful time! We came with a bachelorette party, and it was such a cool experience. The drinks are super unique and very yummy, the team was super attentive to us, and the atmosphere was so much fun. It feels like an adult jungle gym! Big fan, highly recommend this place.

What a fun surprise this place turned out to be. So many games, awesome cocktails and a fun vibe. We will be back!

Nicely set up arcade with plenty of activities, games and bar. Staff was engaging. However, please be aware, this is not adult only. Kids and families everywhere. This didn't necessarily hamper my experience, just observation for such an alcohol centric venue.

This place was absolutely awesome. Free arcade games!! Several free games & very cheap games to play. The giant slide that adults can fit was a bonus. If you plan on going for Duck bowling, go to the check-in first & get on the list. You can play 1 game & get back on the wait list, not sure if you can play 2 games when you check in, as we only played the one game. Bars with decent priced drinks. Bathrooms are separated by men & women but both bathrooms share sinks for hand washing. There was lots of confusi

No food served...NO PROBLEM! They give you the venue, drinks, and atmosphere. You bring the food. Pins is an absolute VIBE! Great venue, great service and great times. Looking for a good time to take folks and cut loose without feeling weird about doing so, this is THEE spot! The drinks were top notch. Games galore. First come first served. Very open with plenty of spots to post up with your group. Definitely coming back. Thank you to Marge and Dan for all their help.

I rented Pins out for a corporate party of over 25 people. I could not have better things to say about everything involved. From the planning process, to check in, to service all night, this team rocked it! Amanda and Kaitlin were so pleasant in the planning process. Dustin hooked us up with check-in and made sure we were happy. And don't get me started on Jayden, our server. She was so amazing and anyone would be lucky to have her and all of the rest of the team help them out. The games are fun. The drinks

Always had a fun times everytime we visited this place. They have various games (paid/free), and allow people to bring their own food.

Great fun! We go here every time we visit Nashville. This time however we got a rude bartender that seemed put out we initially ordered waters. I was waiting with cash in hand to order my follow up drinks to go with them but he took his attitude and walked off before I could finish. (It wasn't busy, we were there right after they opened.) We still played quite a bit but decided not to go back anymore this trip.

Took my son here, was so much fun! Love the duck pin bowling and ping pong! Great fun for kids, as long as you go on the earlier side.

Lots of fun, great place for games and drinks. Not great for food as they have food trucks and on a Saturday night, only one food truck, which was average Mexican food at best. Online said 3 food trucks but there was only 1 which was disappointing, but the games and drinks were great. Recommend for entertainment!! Just not the food.

This place was fun and pretty big! There are pinball machines, bowling, and other classics. The food was also great! I had friend green tomato sandwiches, fried sweet potato something, a chocolate mousse dessert and also tried the one with bananas. I only wish they had more NA options. I'd definitely go back!

This place is awesome! We played Bocce, video games, and pin bowling. I never played pin bowling before, and it was SO much fun! They have skee ball upstairs with corn hole also. Plenty of old school video games and pinball. Bring some cash with you if you want to play the pinball machines. (1$ each game) SO much to do! They don't have food here but there's a food truck outside the front door that you can get food and bring inside. Big bar with plenty of drinks. The only reason why I didn't give this place

They refused to let us bring in a hydroflask water bottle and told us we had to take it back to the car. In their FAQ, they recommend parking at the Whole Foods garage a couple blocks away. They say "we offer discounted parking underneath Whole Foods on Broadway for $12 (up to 4 hours)" - I asked the person at the front desk if it was okay to park longer than 4 hrs and they said they didn't know but assumed it was fine. We were with a large party and stayed just over 6 hrs. If you park a minute over 6 hrs,

I went with my girlfriend and a friend to spend the night, and it was a great time. The atmosphere is relaxed and they have lots of free options. The drinks were good, and I have to say, Sam is the best?very friendly and cordial. We'll probably go back.

Lots of options for things to do and spacious area which I appreciate because that's a hard quality to come across in most places in this downtown area. Staff were kind and efficient. Drinks were good. Kid friendly but something for everyone here!

Ordered the Carrie Fisher, Leap Frog, and Hazed & Confused. Not too bad. Favorite is Carrie Fisher!! Also got jello shots!!

Great time at Pins with friends! Lots of beer and free arcade games! Duckpin bowling wasn't expensive, and that third frame is a game changer!

It's loud as hell but the video games are free, skee ball is free and kids are welcome before 9pm. Doesn't serve food but the drinks are good. Tons of fun options and there's outdoor seating. I recommend it for sure. Oh, there's gravel lot paid parking across the street from it but it's pricey.

This place absolutely rocked! So glad we found this hidden gem in downtown Nashville. They have so many options for different games! From free arcade games that bring you right back to childhood, to pinball games that brought the competition to life! We had hours of fun for a great price. The miniature bowling aka ?duck ball? was a blast as well. Very fast paced and easy for anyone to play. Would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for something to do in the Nashville area

Great place to take the kids. So many things to do. Duck pin was fun and decently priced. Many games are free to play. Drinks are amazing.

Very family oriented brewery downtown Nashville. Bring the kids! Plenty of free arcade games, ping pong, jenga family fun. The bar is open with domestic and craft beer and specialty drinks, bring your own food in! We ordered from WacaMole Mexican food truck outside the brewery but I saw several different take out food restaurants from the area on other tables!

Super cool place with free arcades and $1 pin ball. And they have bowling. A fun hang out place that serves good drinks. Good place for adults and kids! We didn't order any food so I can't comment on that

We had a corporate executive group at the property and everything was fantastic, from the advance planning to the onsite experience. There was something for everyone, and we were able to cater Hattie B's onsite very easily. Thanks to the event staff for helping us all night!

Going to Pins was an amazing experience! There is so much to do and a good chunk is free. The old school arcade games are set to free play and a must do for video game fans. There is also Jenga, cornhole, skeeball, ping pong, etc. The staff is super friendly and the place was very clean. We spent over 3 hours there and could have easily spent the rest of the night having fun. There isn't any food inside but a food truck was available outside. For me, this is a must visit place anytime I return to Nas

Super fun place. It is much more family friendly than it was a couple of years ago during the day, and a ton of fun for adults only after 9. It's a fun hangout spot with good drinks and tons to do.

We are so glad we found this place on our trip to Nashville! Great way to entertain our kids ages 16,14, and 11. Loved the drinks, the free throwback arcade games, and free skee ball and corn hole. First time playing duck pin bowling was a blast!

Probably one of my favorite places in Nashville so far. Super nice and open. Drinks are reasonably priced. I would say the best deal is the pitcher of Sangria for 35 dollars. Edit: went back again and the sangria was different which was fine, but feel like it wasn't as alcoholic/had a lot more ice. Nonetheless it was good Arcade games are free, you can reserve your table as a home base, pinball is 25 cents I believe. Has nice outdoor area with decent view. Dog friendly outside. He said they used to be d

We brought a family of five in on a Sunday during the Fourth of July weekend for playtime. We were greeting by employees throughout our visit, each time offering assistance, drinks and smiles. We all noted how accommodating and friendly the entire team at Pins Mechanical was and what a refreshing experience it was to not feel like a burden. We had three children and five adults. We played every game offered and had a blast! Thanks for a great family fun day. We appreciate you!

Awesome hangout spot. If you want to get a beer and hangout with friends this is the place. Just get there and you will understand. Drink, eat and play arcade games almost free of charge. Great for large parties.

The most entertaining and engaging venue in Nashville for me! I was there this past weekend for the 10th or 11th time. There are so many games and activities in addition to duckpins bowling that you cannot be bored not matter what. Go with a group of adults and you will have an epic time! That said, my friends with kids find it to be a family-friendly option (before 9pm because after that only 21+ folks are admitted). Check out their site for more info but hurry on down and experience this place for yours

Such a cool place! Staff was incredibly friendly? especially Brooklyn out on the back patio! Games were fun. Beer list is incredible. Food truck was good. Great for a team building event or a date night. If I were to make a suggestion for improvement would be to replace the cornhole boards? they are made of metal so every bag hit gives a loud resonating ?DONG!? that is quite an assault on the ears and ruins the ambiance. I get that wood deteriorates over time so I see the appeal of metal. It's a conundrum

Great place for date night or with the kids!! Nostalgic and made us feel like kids again! Did not eat, but cocktails were fantastic!

Enjoy coming here with friends. Good drinks and a variety of games to play. The games range from arcade machines (free of cost) pinball ($1 a game) bowling (6 per person) and other games. Saturdays nights some of these areas are reversed for private parties.

Don't even get me started! This was the best place in Nashville I've been to in a while. Had the best drinks ever and chilled out playing Yoshis island . How cool and nostalgic! Nothing but fun times here

Special thanks to Faith and Pins Mechanical Team for making our company party one to remember! The service we received was top notch and the entire team was great to work with from start to finish. I recommend if you're truly looking to get the most out of the lanes go ahead and reserve a table. The staff did everything to ensure that we were comfortable, and all of our needs were met. Pricing was more than reasonable given our needs. We would not hesitate to book another event there and I'm planning o

Was a fun place for a staff event outing.Staff is friendly and helpful lots of different activities as well as alot of just chill options drinks are definitely pricey but your in downtown Nashville so that's to be expected. Bartenders are kind and helpful. Pet friendly! So that definitely made my day

It's fun. The vibe definitely isn't too friendly to minorities. If you walk around here prepare to get suspicious looks. If you're into that then this your place. After you get passed that, it's fun. The atmosphere is different. Prices are decent. Floor layout is cool. As a gulch resident...Would I recommend it, yes. Will I come back, once every other month.

Liam is literally the best!!! One of the coolest people me and my friends have met, he was super helpful as well and was really understanding when it was busy! A few other people were a little less kind but we will be back!

Pretty chill spot. Plenty to do as of games from pin ball to old school arcades and bowling in the back. The drink were also enjoyable but the game over was my favorite. Out door area had 2 fire pits that were nice when it was cold and a super sized beer pong game

We had a company gathering at Pins Mechanical and had WONDERFUL service and an even better time. The whole staff was super accommodating and drinks were delicious and unique. I highly recommend Pins Mechanical for any gathering or just to have a great time. The kids with our group had a blast and the adults did as well! My husband and I cannot wait to go back!

Super cool spot! We went on Super Bowl Sunday and it was almost empty which was super enjoyable. Most of the old arcade games were on free play and so were the sega consoles. We had a super fun time and we're there for a good 1-2 hours without realizing it or spending a ton of money!!! We will be back for sure.. and ps: order the Lisa frank!

Stopped by several pinball places while visiting Nashville, and Pins Mechanical stands out for being the most upscale and clean! The machines are in excellent shape and well-maintained, with a fantastic selection. including the latest and greatest, like Elton John and John Wick at the time of this review. The employees were friendly, and the drink options looked great too. Pins Mechanical is now my go-to pinball spot whenever I'm in Nashville.

Loved this place if you are with a group of people. They have amazing games and cocktail collection. They have pinball , foosball , duckpins and other arcade games which are free The food truck outside is really good . And brownie points for being a pet friendly place .

Pins is a great place to be, with many options for entertainment and drinks. My husband and I went there last week and were treated super well by the staff. We wanted to give a shout-out to the server, Julia, who gave us great recommendations (my husband loved the drink Smoke & Mirrors) and was super friendly to our friend's children. We will definitely be returning soon and bringing more friends with us.

I love this place! It's so cute, family friendly, and has a lot to do!

We were very disappointed in this place. We were looking forward to coming and enjoying some of the games. We asked about the bowling. They said there's an hour wait. When we looked there were a few lanes that were not being used. Then we walked around and grabbed a drink. The gentleman at the bar was very rude and seemed inconvenienced to be serving us. Then we went upstairs and saw there was corn hole. My husband went downstairs to pay to play. The woman told us theres a 30 minute wait. We waited up here

Fun place, huge space, all ages, lots of variety, bring out your inner child, take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, or play trash can beer pong

We didn't eat and honestly I don't think they serve food but the atmosphere was amazing! Great place to take the kids during the day!

My partner and I stumbled upon this place while in the Gulch and LOVED it. We went back two more times (in the same day). They have everything and the vibe is laid back. Service was great but we did not eat at the food truck parked outside. Highly recommend!

Plenty to do. Outdoor fire pit, a giant slide, mini bowling and yard games. Plenty of drinks but not much for eats. There is paid parking right across the road for 30+ (2 hour min). The staff was good. No issues.

Fun spot. Games galore. Pinball was $1/ game. This was an outing so I don't know food and bowling cost. Big space. Indoor and outdoor games to play. Fun for groups.

Fun place to kill a couple hours between plans!

They don't serve food here. It is a BRing Your Own Food place. There was a good truck out side. The duck bowling and pinball machines was fun. Nice little hang out spot. The drinks was good and I would recommend the game over (8 different liquors). The have beer pong with big trash cans, foosball, giant Jenga, connect 4, corn hole outside with heaters. After 9 it's adults only. But in all was a fun place to hang out with friends. Only down fall is parking is right next to it and it was $24 for 2 hours and

This is one of the mysterious "third spaces" I keep hearing we're missing these days. You don't pay to get in, video games are free, pinball costs a quarter, skeeball is free if you wait your turn. This is how an establishment should be operated. No notes.

Great adult fun atmosphere! Many games and activities, as well as a full bar. Even with opening at 4 PM on a weekday, it got real busy real fast.

Everything your inner child desires Arcade games are free, pinball is a dollar, big jenga, big garbage can beer pong, bowling, and of course - booze. There's a couple fire pits out front for those cold nights, also. It is an enjoyable place to spend the evening. Bowling and big Jenga are fun!

Fun place! Great atmosphere and lots to do. Came here with a group of friends and had a blast. Real retro vibe with the video games and pinball machines. The drinks were fresh and different, each had a different piece of old-fashioned candy to showcase the name of the drink. The mini bowling was alot of fun. Lots of outdoor games to play as well with fireplaces all around. Highly recommend coming by for a fun night out away from Broadway!

Always a fun time here! If you go on a busy night, be sure to reserve your spot for a game first thing. Also, maybe bring your own ping pong balls lol. They always seem to be dented!

Huge! Huge huge!... Plenty of space for you and your family to do stuff... They've got arcade games, mini bowling, and other games to choose from.... Pricing was reasonable. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend again.... Did not try the food.

We had a good time & things to do are reasonably priced. Lots of different places to hang out, plus retro video games & pinball (which we didn't play). Service was quick.

Popular spot for happy hours, open really late and that makes it busy throughout the week! Attentive staff that comes and checks on you for orders or you can also order at the bar. Prefer the beer selection to the cocktail menu. Activity - Jenga, Bocce ball, Duck pin bowling etc can be reserved upon walk-ins. Food - no kitchen on premise, have food trucks visit the place. Outside food is allowed, so that works well. Parking - better to find an open street spot vs what is offered.

What a cool place!! So much to do and well worth a visit for the plethora of pinball machines alone.

Came here for a company event and it did not disappoint! The staff is amazing and they made an already enjoyable venue even more so. The drinks are super fun (crazy straws, foam fingers, and rock candy as garnishes!) and the games are endless.

This is my favorite place is Nashville. We are from out of state but have brought our kids here twice and we always have a blast. Duckpin bowling is so much fun! The cocktails are fun and fantastic, the theme and decor of the place is funny - I always find some new little detail I had missed before and get a kick out of, and all of the arcade games are free! There's also a pinball room (those you have to pay for), skeeball & cornhole upstairs, old video game consoles, multiple bars, and other games and swin

They don't really do food, even bar food stuff, just drinks. There's only a food truck out front. Atmosphere is fun. Free arcade games are nice but a lot of them are in really rough shape. FYI: For large groups they don't really let you customize the bowling - just load in 8 players for your games no matter what you actually have playing. No names, no skipping/switching bowlers, no correcting scores, etc

Great Nashville vibe and sooooo many things to do! A wide variety of cocktails and drafts from several bar locations. Outstanding service!

In Nashville for a long weekend with a teenager, four year old and an infant. Came here two of the three days and everybody wants to go back. Duck bowling, pinball, and free arcade games! Plus drinks for mom and dad. This place is a hit. Plus food trucks change daily so you don't have to eat the same thing twice. Was told to avoid the ?pin? food.

This place was an absolute blast. Their signature cocktails were awesome and the environment was great.

There is no food except for a food truck at the entrance. There are drinks, though. The service is excellent and the staff is very pleasant and courteous. They willingly agreed to take pictures of our group.

This place is awesome! Great atmosphere lots of activities and Good selection of drinks. I would definitely recommend coming here especially for couples and groups.

A very popular Nashville experience. Make sure you get here early, the first time we tried on a Saturday afternoon we were told it would be a three hour wait! We returned the next day when they opened and got right in for some fun!

ITS FREE! Some of the games you have to pay for but its mostly free! When I went I found out they had a slide, sadly it was too cold for it to be open but I hope next time it's open. I went and got something from a claw machine there but it got stuck and I had to wait almost 10 minutes to get it. Worth it though! I will definitely be coming back.

Celebrated My daughter?s 30th Birthday at Pins Mechanical. We had a fabulous time!!!

A great date night spot! Everything was reasonably priced. We had a 25 min wait for pinball (holiday weekend on a Saturday night). While we waited they had so many free options! We played skeeball, arcade games, slid down a slide, played at a soccer table, and played darts! Duck pin was also great and easy for both my husband and I to play. Would be a great spot to watch a game or bring young kids if you wanted to take them somewhere with you. We didn't even drink but had a blast! Very glad we came!

I love this place. What a concept for a bar! Never did I think I'd ever get a drink with bacon as a garnish, but I did that night and wow what a game changer. From the host who greeted us at the door to the bartender who helped us with our drink selection, the staff is amazing. You gotta check this place out!!

Great fun, lots of old retro games from the 80s. Made me feel like a teenager again. I would highly recommend. I just wish they had one closer to me.

In terms of service, it was pretty poor. The staff seemed stress, which is understandable being as they were jammed pack. It took quite awhile to get drinks and after that we were neglected. The surrounding environment is pretty entertaining and the group thoroughly enjoyed the pinball machines. The drinks were delicious, huge plus.
