Rise Brands Expands Ohio Presence, Bringing Pins Mechanical Co. to Dayton in Spring 2025

Columbus, OH - Rise Brands, a leader in creating immersive consumer experiences is excited to announce the upcoming opening of Pins Mechanical Co. in Dayton, Ohio. Known for its blend of old-school entertainment, handcrafted cocktails, and social atmosphere. Pins is set to open doors in the former Moeller Brew Barn location, directly across from Day Air Ballpark, in the heart of Water Street District. The 11,000+ square foot venue will welcome guests in spring 2025. 

"We’re excited to see Pins Mechanical Co. add to the vibrancy that continues to grow in Water Street District," said Brent Crawford, Principal at Crawford Hoying. "Rise Brands consistently delivers concepts that truly connect with the communities we develop, and we’re thrilled to continue our strong partnership with the Rise team."

Pins has become a popular attraction for those seeking nostalgic entertainment and a fun social outing. The Dayton location will feature two floors of games and gathering spaces, including eight duckpin bowling lanes, multiple bars, a patio with fire pits, and scenic views of the stadium. Guests can also enjoy a variety of classic games that Pins is known for, such as pinball, foosball, Hookie, and more. Adding to the excitement, there will be a slide that takes guests from the 2nd floor down to the patio, creating a unique way to explore the space!

“We’re thrilled to bring Pins to Dayton and be a part of this lively community,” said Troy Allen, CEO of Rise Brands. “We believe in creating spaces where guests can unwind and connect with each other in memorable ways. We hope to offer Dayton a place where everyone, from sports fans to families, can come together.”

The Dayton location will be the eleventh opening for the Pins brand and the sixth location in Ohio, opening just ahead of a seventh site launching in The District at Deerfield, less than an hour away. The Deerfield location is slated for a summer 2025 opening.
