With locations in Downtown Columbus, Dublin, and Easton, Pins offers a mix of duckpin bowling, pinball, arcade games, ping pong, and massive outdoor patios, all paired with a full bar and food trucks, or option to bring in your own food.

The venue is 21+ after 9 p.m., but family-friendly during the day—making it a great daytime stop for families, and a social hub for adults in the evening. It’s also ‘good’ dog-friendly, so bring your well-behaved, leashed dog! Kids (and dogs) must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

Celebrate National Bomb Pop Day on June 26, 2025 with all Pins Mechanical Co. locations and a one-day-only deal.

Get 1/2 off the #1 best-selling cocktail, The Hulk Hogan!

The Hulk Hogan

Made with blueberry vodka, lemonade, and topped with a Bomb Pop popsicle, The Hulk Hogan has been on the Pins menu since day one—try it on the holiday that honors its star ingredient.

This cocktail is SO good. You’ll be popping Bomb Pops in all your drinks at home after this.

Fun fact: the Bomb Pop turns 70 this year! First created in 1955, it’s still a summertime staple—and Pins is celebrating with a throwback and a seriously cool cocktail discount.
