RedPin Restaurant & Bowling Lounge

We are regularly going to OKC for cheer competitions. This is the whole family’s favorite restaurant there. Absolutely not what I would consider bowling alley food. Best hamburgers I’ve ever had. Great shakes. Unique and modern atmosphere. I wish I would have taken pictures. Don’t miss this place if you’re visiting Bricktown.

Love this place!!! Mac and cheese, pizza, and nachos are delicious! Great service always on top of things. Love to come here for birthdays or just a night out with friends! Make a reservation it’s a lively busy popular place! Great cocktails too!

Atmosphere was awesome eat, drink, bowl food was great. Modern cool young place I am from ny and I could stay there all night. Good music awesome place original concept.
Not your grandpa’s bowling alley.

If I could give the bowling side no stars I would. We were there in a group on Saturday night. We had reservations for four lanes from 6 – 8. Even though we were all there by 6 we did not get our lanes until 6:20 and then they tried to charge us for two hours at 8. I talked with the manager and expressed our displeasure, not only with that but the several times they had to reboot the computer that controls pin setting and score keeping. The food may be good but DON’T GO TO Bowl! We did get a time extension but finally got disgusted when the computer went down again.

18% gratuity added to large groups on food/​beverage/​service which is expected but they also charge 18% the lane rental as well. Be prepared to pay an additional 18% for shoes/​lanes/​balls for no reason. These costs should be added to the cost of lane rental. Will not return — plenty of other bowling alleys in the area that are unique and fun!

My office had a Christmas party at Red Pin on a Tuesday. We arrived at 11:00 and there were already people bowling. By noon 6 of the 10 lanes were full. The bowling part of Red Pin was standard: electronic record keeping, plenty of bowling balls of various weights and finger sizes. There’s not a ton of room though, so if all 10 lanes were in use I can see how it could get crowded.
We had a few beers and shared some appetizers. They’ve got a good beer selection, I’ve certainly seen much better but also seen a LOT worse. They list Coop’s F5 on the list, which is one of my go-​tos, but they were out of it. For shared appetizers, we went with the chicken nachos, fried pickles, and onion rings. The onion rings and pickles have very crunchy breading, the panko was noticeable.
The breading was a LITTLE thick, but I’m splitting hairs here. They were both solid versions of these popular fried dishes. I will say I didn’t get any parmesan flavor in the onion rings or pickles, and the menu states they are fried with a «parmesan panko» breading. But, they were still solid.
The nacho platter is, as most nacho platters are, extremely large. It’s a ton of cheese, diced chicken, banana peppers, and the traditional stuff on the side: salsa, more peppers, and sour cream. They were good, but these suffered from a serious ingredient imbalance. The bottom third of the chips had no cheese, which is a pet peeve of mine. If these were constructed better it would be a great shareable appetizer.
For lunch, I went with the Urban Cowboy, which is Red Pin’s BBQ bacon cheeseburger served with fried pickles. First of all, it had very good flavor. But, there were some issues. The bun felt apart almost immediately, so I only got a couple of bites before I had to resort to the knife and fork. Secondly, the lettuce was wilted, which was disappointing. Third, and most importantly, the burger was overcooked. Maybe it said on the menu how they cook their meat, but I didn’t see it. Regardless, this was cooked all the way through and then some. No juiciness whatsoever left. If this was cooked with some pink remaining it would be a solid burger.
More than one in our party ordered the mac n cheese and it looked great. I’ll definitely give it a shot. There is a large seating area with some TVs if you aren’t in a bowling mood. Also, service was GREAT. We had someone from the bar and a server coming by frequently to see if we needed anything. I don’t know if this is because we had a group reservation or if this is how Red Pin treats all of its guests, but we were very well taken care of. I’ll return, but I doubt I would order a burger again.

Expensive, which wouldn’t be that bad, if it were a little more spacious, if the service were good and if the bathrooms were clean.

Maybe we caught them at a bad time but had a terrible experience. Waitress had too many tables. Had no silverware or napkins. Got a burger and it was basically burnt and dry. We also had pizza and the dough was leathery. The fried pickles were good at least. Won’t be returning here.

Went here for the first time tonight for a work get together. Immediately upon arrival I could tell this venue was really clean and the vibe of the place was pretty cool. Service was quick, within minutes of arrival we had our drinks and the buffet was ready to go. Honestly, I would never go here just for the restaurant side of things. The pizza was decent but far from exceptional. Reminded me of frozen pizza. However, add bowling to the mix and it spices the whole experience up a bit. The lanes are pretty awesome, with big screens at the end playing music videos and, while we were there, sports games. Loved the music that was being played. If you do decide to bowl make sure to make reservations ahead of time!
Enjoyable, nice bowling lanes, don’t go just for the food.

Super fun environment with clean facilities and friendly staff. The bar is well stocked and the food is amazeballs! It’s great for company functions, birthdays and parties. The staff will accommodate anything you need to make your event a fun time.

Decent place to go. Red Pin was once a fancy night om the town kinda place. It’s still cool to go to but pretty expensive. We went because we had a Groupon, $ 22 for 6 of us for one hour (regularly $ 35). My family and I went at lunch, we spent $ 50 on lunch. The food was pretty yummy. My husband and I shared chicken nachos, fried pickles. My kids got a cowboy burger and we had 3 dips of ice cream.
The service was about 2.5 our waitresses didn’t refresh our drinks and we could never find her.
The actual bowling alley is neat, big screen tv’s, and the hour was a blast for my kids! I will go back but only on a Groupon deal.

RedPin was once revered as the fancy bowling alley in Oklahoma City. It’s still nice, but there is less of a notion to dress up to play here. A good bowling alley for me has the hint of a smokiness, with an ample number of lanes and seating areas. RedPin is a little tight on the space — sitting and moving areas. The bowling balls have seen better days; they seem to be constantly dropped really hard, probably from how greasy they are.
Otherwise, the smoothness of play is actually nice — you walk up, get your shoes and tell them your name. A waiter will take your order after you’ve settled in. Large screens at the end of the lane — either for music videos or Thunder games were a good touch. The drinks come out quickly and sodas are replenished. The food we’ve tried hasn’t been so great, just your standard bowling alley fare. Overally, I don’t mind coming to RedPin, but I prefer a more rustic old school place to bowl.

I used to really enjoy the food here, but since they changed to «the basement» I’ve been less than impressed. The food is okay and fairly standard. Decent portion sizes. They used to have delicious desserts, but I was told that they no longer sell dessert (even though the server thought they did, was told what they had and wasn’t told they didn’t until I placed my order).

My husband and I decided to go bowling at the Red Pin. The atmosphere was interesting but made for a comfortable and pleasant experience. We had our bowling shoes and root beer floats delivered to us promptly. The bowling alley wasn’t anything out of the ordinary from what I have seen before, but it was fun. It wasn’t smoky smelling like many bowling alleys I have been to in the past. Haven’t had any of the food so I can’t comment on that. We also got a time limit put on us for how long we could bowl, which was a little odd. Any normal person would think a business would want you to spend time there. I guess they had their reasons for that, however.

Kind of hard to know how to rate this place. Since the reviews on here were so-​so, we decided to eat somewhere else before coming to bowl.
The atmosphere is pretty neat in that the bowling alley part is nicer than the typical bowling alley. But with that said, it’s not really big so on weekends or summers I can see getting to bowl being kind of hard if you don’t reserve ahead of time.
We did order root beer floats and the staff were friendly.
If I lived in OKC and wanted to bowl, I would probably look for a typical bowling alley. But if visiting with kids and needed something to do if the weather was bad or to kill time then check the place out.

The pizza was one of the worst pizzas I’ve ever had in my life, and if you read all my other pizza reviews (like 100 of them) you’ll see that I only give 4 – 5 stars for pizza! The pizza here tasted like pepperoni on Play-​Doh (and yes I’ve also tried that in my younger years so I have experience). That was the only food I tried here so I can’t rate anything else.
However, the whole experience here was very fun. Great party place, excellent bar, on the upscale side (compared to all those run-​down bowling alleys all over the city), and the whole place had a good/​fun vibe to it. I wish there were more bowling lanes though. I will not give the pizza another chance but I will try the hot wings next time.
Overall one of the better places to socialize and drink with your friends in OKC.

This place was horrible. My husband and I were looking to have some fun bowling and figured red pin would be a cool place to spend a few hours. We arrive around 415 and wanted to play at least a few games. We approached the counter and was greeted by a rude guy that told us we would only have forty five minutes to play two games. Ok not so bad right? Nope close to about halfway through our second game we were brought the check and felt as though we were being pushed out. We finished our game and looked at the check. It was 16.80 for the two games and shoe rental. Keep in mind this was during their happy hour other wise it would have been ten dollars more. We are not coming back to this place. The only reason it even got two stars was how clean and updated it was.

Neat atmosphere. Came here for a work team builder. We had pizza, nachos and fried pickles. The food was decent, nothing spectacular. The sweet potato fries come with a brown sugar marshmallowndipping sauce that was excellent. The bowling was fun. Our waitress seemed a little annoyed by us. I am not sure why, we were all just having some good clean fun. Overall a fun place.

Booked my son’s birthday party at RedPin sort of last minute, choosing the «Ten Pin» package, which allows 8 kids unlimited bowling and pizza. Not bad, eh? I decided this would be super easy. Just show up with the cake :)
When we arrived 10 minutes before the party, the host seemed a little confused about where we were supposed to go and where we could put our party goodies, which was a little weird because all lanes were booked for parties at that time. You’d think the host would have a game plan, no?
Once the event coordinator /​bartender came to greet me, things settled a bit into place. Were I a super A-​type personality, I think it wouldn’t have been as much fun; I ordered a drink from the bar (hmmm, maybe *that’s* why they’re so strong!) and focused on getting my son and his guests ready to party.
While the fried pickles and pizza and drinks were nothing to write home about, they were fine for a little adult mingling and snacking while bowling. Despite the odd service, we had such a great time and the prices were comparable to any other birthday package in town (maybe cheaper with the pizza included!). My son wants to go bowling again, right away. Glad we chose RedPin for his party!

Me and some friends decided to go out for a friends birthday, so we decided to go bowling. They told us that it was $ 45 per lane, and that’s it. They failed to tell us that it was actually $ 45 per lane, per hour. We had 3 lanes saved, but canceled 48 hours before we went. They still charged us for 3 lanes for 3 hours, when we were only there for 2 hours on 2 lanes. Along with that, the manager wasn’t working with us at all, and getting us attitude, and not helping us at all. So while having over a $ 300 tab, just because, they added over $ 200 to the bill because there was «unpaid tabs» that wasn’t paid. Horrible customer service!!! I used to love going there but now I will NEVER return. I will also tell people to never spend their money at such a crappy bowling ally!!!
