Pins N Pockets

I’ve never been here until yesterday! It was amazing and fun I loved it. The music was on point. I loved that it was cleaned and friendly. The only reason it only gets 3 stars was because our waiter sucked! She let us know she was our waiter and then disappeared! I had to go find someone else to order some food! Once she took my order I didn’t see her she came 15 min before our game was over to bring me my food and then I asked for ranch and she never showed up with it and my friends order food and they never got it instead I would see her at the bar chatting it up with those girls. It’s really pathetic to be looking for your own food and waiter. I should have spoken to the manager because obvi she doesn’t take her job that serious.

Have give a HUGE Shoutout to Pins n Pockets and especially
Carley — John — Ashely !!!
We had the BEST B-​Day event and it was for a 40 year old! 16 of us just had a wonderful time
The Pins Staff and Food was AMAZING!
This is a real Class place that CARES about their Customers
Lake Elsinore now has a place we can really enjoy

This place was a blast! They had all the top notch video games. The place is huge. The private bowling lanes for parties were awesome! We didn’t get to do the laser tag but we heard it was good also. Kids can’t wait to go back.

We went there for the first time. We had a great time. All the employees were helpful and very nice. It was clean. The food was good. We’ll be back. They even have birthday party events.

I really like this place, HOWEVER the staff really need to keep the music clean of any profanity, violence, or sexual conduct in the lyrics anything of this sort is completely inappropriate In a FAMILY establishment!
Please address this and the young staff trained In customer service. I really want to see this place thrive and not turn into a dump like it used to be!

Cassandra in the arcade is quick, efficient, knows how to calculate and process money and tickets better than anyone I have ever encounted at the arcade facility. (Usually have to wait for someone competent enough to come help my 6 children). Keep Cassandra around… she has leadership and management potential. Food, bowling, & bar service was great as always.

Clean place. Private bowing rooms are awesome. Kids loved the ‘juke box’ and did some whipping and naenaeing. Not my proudest moment. Regular bowling alleys are clean, easy to use, have tables with servers that you have to track down, but once ya do they’re pretty good about checking in. We used a Groupon discount on a Sunday afternoon and bowled 90minutes for 4 of us, shoe rental included, for $ 28. Otherwise $ 12/​ea… Kids liked the pizza, too greasy for me though. Arcade was clean and fun for my kids, ages 2 – 14 lol. Make sure you combine card points once they say insufficient points if you have more than one play card. Good place to chill with the family.

Went here for the first time on Saturday night and I must say that the renovation looks great! It’s really nice to not have to drive all the way to Temecula and have a place like this in Lake Elsinore. Everything looks new and there’s something for everyone! It reminds me a lot of Dave & Busters but more spacious and clean. The customer service was great, also, so I think they’re off to a great new start! If you’re looking for family fun, this is definitely the place!

OKAY new management/​owner new review.
WHAT a difference, just about COMPLETELY renovated with modern design and great dining/​bar areas along side new bowling alleys. If you saw the place before you might not recognize it now, seriously…
My daughter and I went on a Monday around 630pm, ($ 8.00 an hour per person per lane nice new shoes included) and all but 6 lanes were being used so the investment by the new owners is really getting people in the community to come out and play! We need a clean, fun light bright and safe place for family fun and now we have it. Got a really decent hot large pepperoni pizza (great staff and service) and a coke ($ 22.00) and managed to get in 5 games on the #1 lane, we will be back!!!

The place is nice and clean… BUT never do business with the event planner RENE! She is so unprofessional and rude. I went in to make a deposit for an event, she had wrote down a sheet full of info, 1 week later when I went to pay the remaining balance she had no record of what happened a week ago… she didn’t remember me coming in or taking our money… she doesn’t keep a record of any of her planned events! Who knows what she did with the page full of notes she took! If the place wasn’t as nice as it is I would have cancelled the event and took my business somewhere else! RENE sucks!
UPDATE:
After posting my review I was immediately contacted by management, they apologized and told me that how Rene conducted business was not acceptable. Last night was our event and before it I had the pleasure of talking to management and he made sure that our event would be great and he even made it up to us! All our girls were extremely happy!!! Our banquet room was beautiful and the food was great! Because of the great response and action taken to help us feel better about the issue we had I changed my stars from 3 to 5… looking forward to going back with my family! Thanks Bill

The front desk, Jeanelle, she is very helpful and nice. We had issues with our bowling lane, and she was very quick and helped our problem! She made sure everything we wanted was to our pleasing!

When I learned that Trevii had been purchased by new owners, I was excited; our kids might finally have a decent place to hang out, like the family fun centers and skating rinks of my childhood. Sadly, I still feel like this establishment is lacking, and I would not feel comfortable dropping off my middle schooler without adult supervision.
There is far too much empty/​unused space, which makes this building feel large and vacant, and almost looming. The lighting is poor, making the interior give off more of an old school, smoky bowling alley vibe than a hip entertainment center (which is fine, if that’s what you’re looking for). I think that the concept is great, and you can already see a very valiant attempt at growth and transformation, but I find myself seriously looking forward to the new bowling alley we’ll be getting on Haun and Newport in Menifee. With my daughter at an age where she and her friends will want to start hanging out places sans parents, I’m really hoping for an establishment in our area that will offer us just that – but without the dark, creepy feeling Trevi/Pins&Pockets still exudes.
As far as the restaurant goes, the Curry chicken flatbread was wonderful, albeit burned. I was honestly surprised the kitchen staff and bartender thought it was okay to serve it to me. Since I tend to never send food back, I picked off the burned edges and ate the rest. Let’s be honest, I wasn’t eating at a Temecula winery, so my hopes weren’t too high anyway. Restaurant/​bar staff is pleasant enough, but could be more attentive. The prices are fair for most of the menu items, as well as pints, but the chicken wing prices are ridiculous! Not to mention the calzones… A large is $ 21! You’re out of your mind.
Though this establishment still has a ways to go before it will be five stars, I appreciate the changes they’ve made thus far, and hope to see even greater strides toward making this a truly fun family entertainment experience. It’s still a bit too dark and seedy for my taste.

Great time on a Sunday. Was not too busy for a Sunday afternoon. Got a group in and saved lots of $$$
Perfect place to bring your family and friends. Will definitely come back again with more people and maybe book a party.

The cosmic bowling is fun and at a good price. We’ve come here quite a few times to bowl and hit up the arcade, but we finally came in for the cosmic bowling. The lighting is excellent, as well as the sound system.
I wish they chose more songs that made it have that night out feeling rather than the standard radio nonsense that’s played every 30 minutes. More variety and styles. It kind of felt like they don’t know much about music so they put Pandora on «how to be like everyone else» and didn’t come up with anything interesting unlike Brunswick or some other ones. It got old hearing the same songs over and over. R.i.p
Other than that it was fun. (I’m very music biased)

For me, it’s kinda like Round 1, but not as attractive. The building inside feels and looks old. There’s bowling, arcade games, billiards, party tables, bar/​food area. The place kinda has a gloomy feel even though there’s a lot of people here and kids running around. The floor/​carpet is old and wearing out.
Came here for bowling. We waited 1 hour until they called us. They have those pager thingy that would vibrate and light up when they have available lanes. We waited while my friends drank their beers. I guess it’s because it’s on a weekend and it’s sprinkling outside that a lot of people came here to have fun.
First order of beer, my friend found small dead flies floating in them. It was pretty disgusting. In addition, the beer they ordered tasted very flat. He had them change it to another one.
There are a lot of stalls in the women’s restroom. However, there’s not a lot of toilet paper or seat covers in a lot. A few stalls are very disgusting with seat covers and toilet paper still in the toilet. There wasn’t any paper towels when I went into the bathroom.
There are a lot of families that come here with kids. Bowling with kids is a bit of a hazard, if kids are running around uncontrolled. Might get hit with a heavy bowling ball.
Bowling was fun, especially with friends. I think there were music playing the Pins N Pockets, but it’s so loud and focused on your game that I didn’t really pay attention.

Family fun! Atmosphere it’s great!
The only thing bad is service for the food. The server never checked on us, we waited over 50 minutes. They didn’t have enough staff for spring break. It’s the only thing around here for kids, I’m sure we will be back or my kids will. I would of gave it all 5 stars if we got our food.

An amazing experience here. The staff is really friendly, and constantly asked me and my family if we were having a good time, and if there was anything we needed. The prices here are really affordable. We ended up paying $ 12 a person for bowling which included 2 hours of bowling and shoes included. This is a lot cheaper than other places i’ve been to. They also have an arcade, billiards, laser tag, and a bar area. Definitely recommend trying out this place if you want something to do on a weekend night, it has a wide variety of activities you can do, at an affordable price.

I came here yesterday with my boyfriend and his family for bowling. They had a special going on. It was two hours of bowling including the price of rental shoes for $ 12/​person. We got through three games in two hours so it was about $ 4 a game. It was a great experience. At 5PM, they had special effects party lights to celebrate halloween. I loved that the employees were dressed up in halloween costumes. It was nice that water was free as well. They have laser tag, pool, and a nice arcade. I can’t wait to come back and experience everything they have to offer. They have a really nice bar area for anyone 21 and up, as well.
Only thing is, it was hard to tell whether they were open or not because the parking lot wasn’t especially busy and their front doors are tinted black. My boyfriend and I drove by it a few months ago because we wanted to play pool but we couldn’t tell if it was open. I’m glad my boyfriend and I got to go.

Wow! Impressive. We spent my husband’s birthday there last night and we had a blast. The new owners did some great upgrades and added some great new arcade games and laser tag.
The bowling is always amazing. They have great food options. The server was really attentive and the bartender was also very attentive.
They have private rooms for private parties and events. They also have great prices. Check their website for daily specials.
I can’t get over what a great job they did in updating everything plus offering quality food and drinks. There is something for everyone here. The kids can play in the arcade, bowl, laser tag etc. The adults can play pool in the bar area or have some drinks at the bar our delivered to you by the server at your bowling lane! This place covers all the bases. Don’t forget to look for daily specials and Groupon deals. We highly recommend this place!

Amazing MakeOver! The Dave N Busters of Lake Elsinore!
My Family and I have been here several times and the remodel their doing is just amazing!!! We don’t know the area very well so we came across it by Groupon! It was an Amazing Deal, 2 hours of bowling for 5 people plus a pitcher of soda and shoes for $ 20! Needless to say we purchased a few more because we had so much fun. One time we visited our party was so big they upgraded us to a private room which was really nice!
Our children love the new game room but it’s a bit pricey if you ask me.
Overall a great place! I would highly recommend!
