Ohio bar/arcade Pins Mechanical is opening another location in Greater Cincinnati, bringing its unique blend of retro-inspired entertainment and craft cocktails to Mason later this summer.
Pins will open soon at The District at Deerfield on District Park Drive, next to Fifty West Brewing Company and Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams’ Mason locations. The bar/arcade was one of the first businesses to sign onto the development in 2023. This is the second Pins location in the area and the seventh in the state.
“This marks our seventh Ohio location, and we couldn’t be happier to keep growing right here in our home state,” Troy Allen, CEO and founder of Pins’ owner Rise Brands, said in a press release. “We were excited to join The District at Deerfield from the very start, and now we can’t wait to officially open our doors to the Mason community.”
Pins says it’s all about turning nights out into unforgettable experiences. This Mason location will offer guests activities like 16 lanes of duckpin bowling, classic arcade games, pinball machines and even a two-story indoor slide. The bar will serve Pins’ fun, signature craft cocktails, beers on tap, THC beverages, and low- and no-proof options. There will also be spacious patios with firepits; outdoor games like patio pong, Hookie and giant Jenga; and semi-private event spaces.
Pins Mechanical will hold its grand opening on Friday, Aug. 22, starting at noon. For updates on the grand opening, plus special offers, you can follow the bar/arcade on its Instagram, @pins.cincy, or sign up for its newsletter on its website.
Pins Mechanical, 1124 Main St., Over-the-Rhine and opening soon at 5272 District Park Drive, Mason. More info: pinsbar.com.
