Pin-Up Bowl is a retro-chic homage to the game the '50s made famous. It boasts eight lanes of bowling, an extensive martini list and plenty of old-fashioned pin-up posters. Unlike a traditional bowling alley, it also doubles as a trendy upscale lounge. Shades of blue and red provide a fun feel, and four big screens above the lanes (along with two at the bar) pump out music videos and play cartoons. The combination of first-rate libations and bowling make Pin-Up great for a date, and a cherry pop tart for dessert is sure to seal the deal. In the spirit of Blueberry Hill -- also owned by Joe Edwards -- Simpsons' bowling artifacts, the vintage tin Rocket Bowling game and other bowling memorabilia are exhibited behind a glass case. Classic pin-up girls such as the Bettys (Page and Boop) are also displayed. The sparkly bar serves up signature cocktails such as the Stiletto Martini and the Dutch Harvest, while Bud Light and Schlafly are always on tap. The menu includes hot bowls of Campbell's soup to warm you up on even the coldest nights, along with plenty of appetizers, pizzas and sandwiches.

I live nearby, I like the atmosphere, but it's really not a family place(kids). Bowling has always been a place for family. Your place seems to have more of a sprite environment. One must be open minded & ready to see anything. Example my son & I was there around 6:30pm, two males all over each other right next to us. You advertisement should address family time. That way no gets surprises. Hello Joe, H Lee Willis Judicial Advocate

overpriced!
By bigred804 on 12/02/2004
Granted my family and I had a great experience at Pin-Up Bowl, it was way too overpriced. For two hours of bowling, in only one lane, our total (not including our bar tab), was about $108 dollars! The martinis were way overpiced, and the pitchers of beer were ten bucks a pop. This is something that you definitly should have money for!

Trendy Metro spot

Pin Up bowl is what it is, a martini bar slumming as a bowling alley. I went there some time ago on a thursday night and while the bar area was pretty full, the bowling lanes were half vacant. I give it credit for it's 50's styling, but in all honesty, what's the point if you're gonna have techno music and jumbo projection screens? Drinks are expensive, but it's a Joe Edwards place. Nothing he does is cheap. I didn't have the food, but when you're advertising cambells soup on the menu, you're not exactly touting the food as your draw. Personally, I'd prefer these places be in the CWE, Clayton or in downtown, places more upscale than the loop. I liked the loop when it was full of teenages angry at their parents who'd skateboard and get tattoos, not yuppies in shiny black outfits, talking on cellphones, gelling their hair while their "friend" gets them a pink martini. Please Joe, stick to nightclubs or restaurants, not both.
