No need to leave the kids or pups at home to enjoy endless fun in Pittsburgh this summer, as Pins Mechanical Co. in the South Side has got you covered!
Whether you’re looking for a happy hour spot with coworkers and friends, an adventure-filled afternoon for your family, or a relaxing outdoor space to take a fluffy four-legged friend, we’ll tell you everything you need to know to make the most out of your Pins experience.

Old-School Entertainment and Activities for All Ages
From an expansive arcade chock-full of gaming classics to duckpin bowling, bocce, foosball, giant Jenga, Hookie, ping pong, patio pong, and two giant slides, Pins Mechanical combines amusement park vibes with a city feel. Starting at $7 a game for duckpin bowling with other lower and even free activity options, you’ll get all the thrills without emptying your pockets.

Cold Bevvies and Sweet Treats
Quench the thirst of everyone in your group, with the return of fan-favorite boozy and non-boozy shaved ice (perfect for kiddos, non-drinkers, and even dogs) in flavors Lemonade Luau, Panther’s Blood, Blue Crush, and Guava Lava. Dogs get free shaved ice (made of ice and carrot juice, topped with a Milk Bone) all summer long!
Get the party started with a new selection of delicious color-coded shots inspired by the iconic ghost characters – Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde in honor of PAC-MAN’s 45th anniversary, or celebrate pride all month long with a new Pride Party Pack of rainbow jello shots with proceeds benefitting the LGBTQ+ advocacy organization PFLAG.

Plus, enjoy a jam-packed, refreshing summer cocktail and mocktail menu designed to bring out your inner child. Stop by on National Bomb Pop Day (Thursday, June 26th) for half off the best-selling Hulk Hogan cocktail that includes blueberry vodka, lemonade, and a full-size Bomb Pop!

Enjoy an Outdoor Get-Together on the Patio
Take a break from game playing and soak up the sunshine on the expansive patio overlooking Southside Works. Make your sunny day hang complete with a beer tub stacked with an array of cooling canned beverages. Share the good vibes with your dog and stick around after sundown to enjoy the warmth of a cozy fire pit.
