Love Pins Mechanical Co. but sick of fighting Downtown traffic for a little happy hour fun?
You’re in luck. On December 20, 2017, Pins Mechanical Co. opened the doors to its Dublin location for the first time. The new spot, located in the up-and-coming Bridge Park district, is nestled in an area full of restaurants, bars, and more.
Although the employees assured me the space is basically the same size as the downtown location, it feels huge. Light from the walls of window pours in from all angles, perfect for selfies if not for focusing on a ping pong ball flying at your head.
The bar offers all of the fun fans have come to expect from Pins, including duckpin bowling, pinball machines, ping pong, and giant Jenga.
The bar is also serving up a huge draft list, wonderful cocktails, and wine.
The Brown Derby, pictured below, was a delightful combination of Four Roses bourbon, honey, and grapefruit juice. It’s no longer on the cocktail list.
If you’ve never been to Pins, the concept is pretty simple. When you get there, you can grab a drink at the bar or head to “The Cage” to sign up for a game.
At The Cage, they’ll help you figure out what you want to play, get you signed up and checked out, and the supply you with the goods you need to have fun.
This was the second location for the bowling themed bar, with openings then planned in Cincinnati and Nashville. Both have since opened, and Pins now lists a dozen locations.
Pins Mechanical Co. is located at 6558 Riverside Dr, Dublin, OH 43017. They are open Monday through Thursday from 4 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., Friday from 12 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2:30 a.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Want to see more photos of the new location?
