Pinhouse

Pin house had a little parking lot so we had to park on the street which was a short 5-10 min walk to the place. When we arrive at they gave us wristbands and explained what to do on how to get food and drinks. Pin house had a cupcake truck and a pizza truck which both located outside in the parking lot they both were good. Pinehouse had outdoor seating and indoor seating which was cool. When we went inside to grab drinks we had to give our card and the staff explained to us how to get the drinks. He stated we put on the wrist bands and when we want a drink we tap the wristband to the drink we want and then we hold our cup under the tap line. We serve ourselves. They had glasses laid out for anyone to grab. They have shelves listed clean and dirty. Grab a clean glass rinse it out by placing it upside down on these water fountains things to rinse it out. Then tap your wrist band and pour your drink. They had a digital screen that would tell you how much you poured and the about you paid for your pour. On the display screen it showed you how much each item cost for example they had one beer $0.68 per oz. the variety of prices were displayed for all of the items They had a variety of items on tap from beer, cider, wine and champagne, OJ which was free. They also had a full bar if you didn't want to drink those items and get a mixed drink or something else. Once we figured out the drinks and tasted a variety of items we ended getting some food at the pizza truck.To check out the we handed in our wristbands to the cashier. He printed out a receipt and we were good to go. This place was cool and we will come back. More...

We went to Pinhouse for a team building event and everyone had a blast. Great space and cool concept with the beverages on tap. Duckpin bowling was fun and we even enjoyed darts and pop-a-shot. The team was easy to work with to, which made my life much easier since I was planning the get together remote. More...

Definitely a hit amongst my friends! I love a self pour bar and Pinhouse has been on my list for quite some time. When you arrive you are given a bracelet - which directly linked to the card you provide upon entering. From there you get choose from a larger selection of beers, ciders, and wines. There is a bar at this location if prefer spirits instead. Glasses are on the wall - you have clean and dirty section. Downstairs are additional selections but games - bowling, corn hole, and varies section of board games. Oh and they do have wine slushy machine. The location doesn't serve food but you can bring you own food into the location. Overall, great location. I'll definitely be back! More...

I have hosted 2 company events here and it is the perfect atmosphere for a group event. We rent out the bowling lanes and have our own couches and tables to mingle. Each time there was live music upstairs which added a nice touch and the musicians were AMAZING. The staff is friendly and helpful. The space is clean, and the beverage choices are great for all!

Was invited to karaoke by a friend so went on a Thursday night. There was a pretty good crowd. There are plenty of beers and wines to choose from on tap. You register at the door and get a bracelet that's linked to your card. More...

I went to this amazing venue for my cousin's wedding reception. It is a self pour tap house. They have beer and wine on tap with 50 varieties on the top level and 22 downstairs. The upstairs patio is huge and overlooks the grounds below. The inside bottom area hosts four bowling lanes, a dart throwing area, and arcade basketball. Its set up like a lounge in the center with comfortable couches on both sides. There are bar stool partitions to separate the floorplan a little which provided extra seating and table space to dine. There's a huge patio and spacious lawn with a fireplace.This place worked out great because we have a lot of kids in our family. The bowling and basketball keep them busy the entire night. It also kept the adults entertained as well. More...

I went to my friend's birthday party here at Pinhouse and it was good times. This is a great venue to host a party.This is a self-serve bar with duckpin bowling, hence the name Pinhouse. Duckpin bowling isn't "regular" bowling (a.k.a. ten-pin bowling) as most people know it. Instead, both the pins and balls in duckpin bowling are smaller. With a name like Pinhouse, I thought this place would have more bowling lanes, but there are actually only four lanes and they're tucked away in the basement. Overall, this is definitely more of a bar than a bowling alley.When I saw my buddy was having his party here, it immediately reminded me of a similar place we have in Atlanta called Pin &amp; Proper. Pin &amp; Proper has the bowling-football hybrid game Pinfall. Both Pinhouse and Pin &amp; Proper opened around roughly the same time: July 27, 2019 for Pinhouse and August 24, 2018 for Pin &amp; Proper. Anyway, it was hard for me not to make the comparison. The repurposed interiors look kind of the same too. In Pinhouse's case, the building was formerly occupied by Midwood Cleaners. An old Midwood Cleaners sign hangs on the wall next to the bowling lanes as neat decor and an homage to the business that came before.Pinhouse has two levels and multiple outdoor spaces. It's just a really cool and versatile hangout spot. We visited on a Saturday afternoon when the weather was nice, so most people were outside in the back, hidden from street view. There's an elevated patio, covered lower-level patio, and an artificial greenspace with lawn games like cornhole. During our visit, there was also live music and a food truck. This was a popular, busy, and happening place.The interior design has a modern and industrial look. There were lots of big, bright TVs playing sports, which I always appreciate. Several board games lined the shelves next to the check-in counter. Downstairs, along with four lanes of duckpin bowling, there was an official NBA basketball arcade game. There was seating and tables of all types, from cushioned, lounge-like chairs to stand-up, bar-height surfaces. The lower level had garage doors that opened up to the green out back, so there was a sort of al fresco feel.Inside, there were 72 self-serve taps. Most of the taps dispensed beer, but some had wine, one had kombucha, and another had orange juice. Cocktails could be ordered at the upstairs bar. The way the self-serve taps work is you check in at the front counter and link your payment card to a Pinhouse wristband. From there, you use your wristband (RFID) to access drinks from each tap. What I like most about this format is you can pour as much or as little as you'd like. You don't have to commit to full pours/glasses. It's a great way to sample many different types of beer (and wine).How the birthday party worked was the host had a single tab for the entire party. Each party guest got a wristband. Each wristband had a dollar limit. However, each wristband could be reloaded with more money from the party tab when the initial limit was reached.When you pour, you see the ounces and dollars go up in real-time on digital screens above the taps. The drink prices varied. You're supposed to return your wristband to Pinhouse before you leave.My favorite beer was the Red Oak (lager - amber) from Red Oak Brewery in Whitsett, NC. I also enjoyed the Orange Creamsicle Sherbet (sour - fruited Berliner Weisse) from Triple C Brewing Company in Charlotte. A couple of my wife's favorites included the Blueberry Wheat (wheat beer - American pale wheat) from Pisgah Brewing Company in Black Mountain, NC and the Plum Cherry Cinnamon Blender (sour - fruited) from Hopfly Brewing Co. in Rocky Mount, NC. As you can see, Pinhouse carries a lot of beers from in-state breweries, but they also have beer from out west (e.g., Stone Buenaveza Salt &amp; Lime Lager, California) and overseas (e.g., Sion Kolsch, West Germany). My wife didn't like the Blackberry Wild (cider - other fruit) from Ciderboys Hard Cider in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.Note the beers on tap upstairs are different from the beers on tap downstairs.The staff was polite and attentive.There's a free parking lot on-site, though it's not very big. I got lucky and snagged a spot right in front of the building. If you can't find parking on-site, you can park for free in the Veterans Memorial Park parking lot, next to the tennis courts, just around the corner.Pinhouse is pet-friendly. In fact, judging from one of their Instagram posts, I think pets are even encouraged: <a href="/redir?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fp%2FCaA2MD0JeJh%2F&amp;s=dcd6fc41441858e77fe8d00c2d9a0983ce2280aa5678da32ec54292abf6b85b1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">instagram.com/p/CaA2MD0J…</a>.Enjoy.

We selected Pinhouse for a welcome event for our wedding weekend and it was the perfect choice. Our guests loved the space (which needed minimal decorations because of how great it already looks). We knew we wanted some sort of activity for our guests and the duckpin bowling was a hit with people of all ages. The vast array of options for drinks was also perfect and kept everyone happy without having to wait to be served by a bartender. We booked the downstairs and outside spaces and found the price to be reasonable for what we received. I would definitely recommend considering Pinhouse for any event. More...

I reserved space at Pinhouse for a surprise birthday party! The entire process, location, and staff far exceeded my expectations. Booking the space was a breeze with Ashley, Adam the manager was so kind helping me setup and helping when needed, and the space was perfect for my 40 guest who migrated throughout the upstairs, outside patio, and reserved bowling lanes!! I'd book here again without a doubt!! More...

Pinhouse is located in Plaza. I was looking forward to checking it out. We had eventbrite tickets for crave but I wasn't very impressed. The parking is limited and the cars on the street block from moving in and out which is annoying.The place was not very busy when I went. Since they only have four lanes to play pins, I can imagine there would be a long waitlist. The patio would be great on a nice day but that is really the only aspect I liked.Not sure I will be going back but I may be convinced to give it one more try. More...

We previously came here before for a Yelp event and then the pandemic struck and we haven't really been to any bars. We came here for the food truck that was here and grabbed a couple of drinks while we were here. We got the PinHoused &amp; Sour Patch Margarita cocktails. They were ok, but nothing special to me. I'd probably stick to the self pour stuff. I love that they have duckpin bowling, though we didn't play on this visit. They have a really nice outdoor area too. This would be a great place for a happy hour since they have something for everyone. More...
