If you've been seeking a new go-to spot for major fun with top-notch eats and drinks, check out Pinstack — It's the ideal spot when you're looking for fun things to do. But even though it's bursting with games and other good times, Pinstack is not a kids-only zone.
The state-of-the-art entertainment concept from Dallas also boasts a modern American menu and extensive bar offerings, making it ideal for date night, happy hour, corporate events, girls' night out, and adult birthday parties in addition to Family Funday.
Plus there's even a free loyalty app that racks up points and dispenses birthday credits and exclusive offers.
Austin's location opened in 2020 and San Antonio recently bowled into town November 2022 — take a closer look at all the exciting activities that await you.
Spare a strike
True to its name, Pinstack is best known for bowling, including a more intimate set of lanes reserved for VIPs (or at least VIPs for a day). Go beyond tradition Ten Pin and try Angry Bird bowling, and don't forget to take advantage of the bumper guards and ball ramps for the "bowling impaired."
Still, if rolling strikes doesn’t quite strike your fancy, the whopping 50,000-square-foot space is packed with plenty of other diversions.
High above it all
Active types will appreciate the six-lane, LED-lit
rock climbing wall and high ropes course that hangs 20 feet above the video game floor.
Game on
Who says arcade games are just for kids? Charm your companion with your mad Skee-Ball skills or play a friendly game of air hockey with your pals. A wide selection of video games, from retro to of-the-moment virtual reality, presents a challenge for even the most skilled gamers. Stand in awe of the World's Largest Pac-Man, get nostalgic with Pong, or test your accuracy with virtual axe-throwing.
Beep beep
When was the last time you hopped into a bumper car? Relive those State Fair feels and safely let out any road rage in Pinstack's bumper car area. There's also a laser tag course where players dodge glowing pillars and tackle obstacles while fog and high-intensity music pump through the rooms.
Exceptional eats
No lukewarm nachos or stale popcorn here. Pinstack serves modern American classics that you can enjoy in its full-service restaurant, out on the climate-controlled patio, or lane-side while bowling. Delicious items such as grilled mahi mahi, the Twenty Dollar Burger (stacked high with black pepper sausage, an onion ring, and bacon-wrapped jalapenos), the giant KingPin pizza, and signature mac & cheese pops populate the menu, along with vegetarian-friendly options.
Crafty cocktails
Of course there are also two full-service bars — one in the restaurant and one near the bowling lanes — featuring an extensive cocktail list, 12 wines on tap, and 24 draft beers, including local craft brews. Order up A Grand Decision, the 21 oz. frozen margarita made with Patron silver, or indulge a sweet tooth with stacked shakes and adult shakes like the Churrochata, a Fireball and RumChata concoction that's sure to spice up your visit.
Time your visit
Daily specials abound, from Bowl + Bite Mondays (4-11 pm) where draft beers are $3 and appetizers are half off, to Wine Down Wednesday with 50 percent off all wine bottles. All video games are half price all day on Tuesdays, too. And don't forget about Happy Hour, with runs Monday through Friday, 4-7 pm, and features $3 domestic pints, $5 craft pints, and $5 margaritas and house wine.
