This place is so much fun. Pinball, arcade games, and duckpin bowling. I think it was 3 or 4 floors if I remember correctly. Huge place. Good variety of beer. Great service. Friendly atmosphere. Just lots of fun for everyone
Really fun place!! They had my favorite game. High score on Mappy! 🥰
This is a must visit for anyone. They had a vast array of classic arcade games they will take you back in time. These games were free to play. They also have a good variety of pinball games which cost only a dollar. It had several floors at this location all with different activities, along with a bar on each level. Make time to visit!?
They don't serve food here but you're welcome to bring food in and eat it there. There are four levels but there is am elevator. This place was amazing! The arcade games are all free. You do have to pay for the pinball machines and duckpin bowling, which is so fun! We had such a good time on our trip that we came back the next day!
The listing is confusing until you get there and realize it's the greatest thing invented. This is the listing for Mechanical Pin Company. Over the Rhine barcade with duck pin bowling, 🐕dog-friendly, plenty of (mainly Stern) pinball--very well maintained and friendly staff. It's worth the paid street parking. Five floors of stuff better than any casino.
