Second location planned for Pins Mechanical Company

In spite of the fact that the first Pins Mechanical Company doesn’t have so much as an opening date, a second location for the throwback gaming bar has been announced at Dublin’s Bridge Park.

Owner Troy Allen, who also runs 16-Bit, is capitalizing big-time on nostalgia, envisioning a space for pinball, duckpin bowling, shuffleboard and ping pong, in addition to schoolyard games like tether ball and four-square.

The second location for Pins Mechanical Company will be at the corner of Riverside Drive and Banker Street, set to open at the end of next summer.

3/4/16: Pins Mechanical Company: new concept from 16-Bit owner

16-Bit arcade bar has been a hit with fans of retro video games, but the newly announced Pins Mechanical Company takes a different approach by showcasing even older analog counterparts.

Complete with pinball machines, duckpin bowling, and shuffleboard, the new concept from 16-Bit owner Troy Allen takes old school to a whole new level at a huge $1.5 million, 16,000 square-foot venue on 141 N. 4th St., to open late this summer.

There are set to be 10 duckpin bowling lanes, between 35 to 45 pinball machines, shuffleboard, four-square courts, tether ball, foosball, and ping pong.

That’s what I call good, clean, American fun.

The building, which was most recently a National Tire and Battery shop, is set to undergo extensive renovations to convert it into a hip, modern space with a full-service bar.

With a projected capacity of about 750 people, Pins Mechanical Company is Allen’s biggest Columbus venture yet.
