Description

Pin-Up Bowl is another Joe Edwards establishment that, like all Joe Edwards establishments in the Delmar Loop, is an insanely popular mainstay with both locals and out-of-towners. The bowling alley and bar draws the post-Pageant and typical Loop crowd: Wash U students, scenesters, misfits and everything in between. Blue neon bathes the handful of lanes, and whoops and hollers can be heard from the bar, but you'll enjoy drinking here even if you don't feel like swapping your heels (or Chucks!) for bowling shoes.

It's 1 a.m. and your standard watering hole just closed its doors. Your BAC broke double digits long ago.

But where You nearly nodded off sitting on the last barstool. What you need is some... More »

But it's a bowling alley. No, it isn't, any more than Blueberry Hill down the street (also owned by Joe Edwards) is an amusement park. Yes, there are bowling lanes at Pin-Up Bowl, but that's just one slice of the pie. There's the awesome retro décor supplied by Kiku Obata & Co., featuring an Art Deco look and red walls plastered in Vargas girls. (Some of the babes were commissioned by Edwards and come courtesy of artist and sometime RFT illustrator Joe Keylon.) There's the drinks,... More »

The King of Beers, or maybe just beer in general, definitely has a frosty-mug handle on this city. But when St. Louisans need to escape the hops-and-barley chains and break out of the easy-to-hold-glass mold, where should they turn We say try the pioneering Pin-Up Bowl, proudly situated on Delmar just east of Skinker in the Loop. The '50s kitsch-style bar/bowling alley serves up all manner of drinks (don't worry, beer included), but the real specialty here are the cocktails served up in... More »

What do you call a bowling alley with no bowling? Those present at the December 12 grand opening of Pin-Up Bowl -- the latest addition to the Loop's burgeoning east-of-Skinker scene and to Joe Edwards' burgeoning entertainment empire -- would have... More »
