Pins Mechanical Company Dublin

Pins in Dublin is a great place. I have been there many times and always have a great time. Even if we can't bowl, there are various other activities to keep us entertained. Between the pinball machines, bocce ball, and patio pong we can keep ourselves entertained. The themed mixed drinks are an absolute favorite. The staff is also a pleasure to be around and create a positive atmosphere there. I highly recommend this Pins.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pins Mechanical Co. This atmosphere was very family friendly. I loved the pinball machines. Definitely bring your own quarters. They cost $1.00 a game. We were super competitive. There was a 2 hour wait for duckpin bowling. Gotta get there early for sure to play that. We enjoyed foosball. There were so many other huge sized games to play too! It’s connected by a patio to the 16-Bit Bar and Arcade which was super convenient. Definitely make this a spot to check out in Bridge Park. Expect families and kids of all ages there with their adults. They serve alcohol.

Pins Mechanical Company is essentially an arcade for adults though children are allowed during the day, and it can be a fun, family outing. Offering pinball, arcade games, bocce ball, and the Duckpin-Bowling they have become locally famous for, they have a full-service bar and seating with big-screen tv's with a variety of programming mostly sports. They also have outdoor seating, and a hot-dog restaurant in the middle of their establishment the original location often features food trucks, instead. They also offer rental space for parties, and with the size of this location, it's a great place for a large party. The arcade games are set to free play all quarters inserted go to charity. The pinball machines are $1 per game. However, they have somewhat become victims of their own success. Pins has become popular to the point that it can, at times, inhibit the fun I made multiple trips to the establishment for this review, and intentionally went when traffic would be light, to get good pictures. On the weekends, the wait for a lane can typically be 2 to 3 hours. There are numerous restaurants within walking distance, but the lanes still become so crowded, new players frequently walk up and sit down at a lane before the previous players have even had a chance to vacate. The friendly staff and fun atmosphere really draw a crowd, but almost too well. A bit of tweaking to the logistics would likely make Pins worth 5 stars, but as is, I can only give a 4. The Good: Great games, decent drinks for a decent price, and a fun, friendly atmosphere. The Bad: It's often too crowded with prolonged wait times. Definitely worth checking out, but expect downtime. Plan accordingly.

This Pins is fantastic! We got a lane on a busy evening as soon as we walked in. The vibe was pretty electric, lots of people hanging out for happy hour, it really felt like the coolest place to be. We had a waitress for our table while we played Pins and she was very quick and attentive for how busy the place was props to the fast bartender too!. In the middle of our game we all took a break to grab Weenie Wonder. It’s right next door in the same building which was super convenient. Afterwards we ventured further down past Weenie Wonder and played some games at 16 bit, which is also connected to pins. If you’re on a mission for fun, this place sets you up for success!

Awesome spot to grab a beer and play some games with friends. We enjoyed the fit pit out front and the wait staff were super friendly/attentive. The best part is you can bring food from the North Market or other nearby restaurants to eat there while you drink.

Came out to Pins recently for some time with my son and later on for an adults only birthday party in the evening. Both experiences were awesome and I’m already stoked to go back! Bartenders were helpful familiarizing me with the drink menu, service was prompt and incredibly friendly, I was unfamiliar with duck bowling and how to get the lanes going and they were kind and helped talker me through the process. An extra big thank you to Shawn for helping us out on the lanes! It was a great experience and an enjoyable night over all. We had a large group for the birthday party, we were a bit needy and I don’t think a waitress or two was ever not there, and I appreciate that service. When we arrived our space was ready and we were promptly brought to it. They were working hard and I’m happy to host my next event there again. Thank you Pins!

Fun place, but a bit noisy. The food is pretty good, but is primarily bar food. Lots of good Draft Beers to choose from. Lots of fun games to play. They have outdoor seating.

this place is so much fun it has everything you could want to do you can drink you can eat you can play all types of games great atmosphere fun people outside seating and you can walk around with your beers when you’re done on the streets

I had a surprise birthday party here. Abby was absolutely a life saver! She took my calls and made me feel comfortable and excited for the party instead of nervous! Abby answered all my stupid questions and worked with me on how to set up the party and the bar tab! She made sure everything was perfect for the party and reservation. Of course, she was working the night of the party and made sure to check on it and me. She is an amazing person and worker! She is so awesome at her job and kept a positive attitude throughout the night even though I could see she was very busy with other parties! I appreciated her kindness, patience, understanding, and care for my party before and the night of the event!

Pins was a lot of fun but extremely noisy. Floor is just concrete. Industrial feel furnishings with some leather couches thrown in. We were not able to finish our 6 player game of DuckPin within the allowed hour. Players 4 5 & 6 lost out. It's buy the booze and bring in the food.
