Backpocket Pin and Pixel

It's fine. Good beer, food is solid, cool that they got games you can play. However, little pricy and generic decorations.

I loved the arcade. The bowling was neat to try. But OMG loud and flashy. Do NOT go here if you have any form of flash-related problems like migraines or epilepsy!

Also I wanted to make sure no one else is nearly as frustrated and confused as we were- this is a bar with a few (like 5?) tiny duckpin lanes not much bigger than skee-ball width and a small arcade in the back. Not an arcade/bowling place with a bar attached.

rude bartenders … they didn’t care that our food was in the window for 15 mins

Might look like a nice place ,,, terrible service. The trainee was nicer than the bartenders training him.

This place has the worst service. If I could leave zero stars for it I would. We went in for lunch Friday afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. There's no host at the front so you have to hopefully grab a bartenders eye to see where you can sit. After that unorganized debacle, we find a booth and sat for 10 minutes with nobody stopping by. No drinks - nothing. Mind you we have hungry kids at the table too. There was probably 2 other tables in there so it was not busy at all, yet there's a collection of employees just hanging out behind the bar. Apparently our server was some kid bussing a table for 10 minutes right next to us. We got up and left and I haven't done that in a long time. I've personally been going to Backpocket in Johnston since they opened. I joined their inaugural beer club. I used to love coming here, but this place has declined tremendously. Don't waste your time in coming here.

Decent priced food that does taste good for the price. Drink menu is over priced, even on the rotating beer menu. If you order mixed drinks, pay attention to how much they are filling your glass. They are supposed to be full glasses, if not something is missing from it (speaking from experience with the old fashioned).

Everything was really good! We played a couple rounds of the mini bowling that was fun! The only issue they accidentally charged us 4 games when we did 2. When I brought to their attention after getting the bill they quickly made it correct!

We started here for a bike ride and stopped in for beer on the way back. They have a good loaded fry basket and a lot of good beer on tap. It's kind of got a b dubs aesthetic with the ball game going

The service was a little slow and the food was good, but not great, just kind of "meh". I do want to give them huge kudos on the bathroom situation though- my husband thought it was great that the men's bathroom had both a changing table and a diaper pail. And I was was surprised with my period so I was thrilled with the basket of menstrual products. The selection of games were good, although $1 for pinball seems a little steep. If they can work on speed of service and the menu a little it will definitely be a favorite spot. Clearly they care. Just need to tweak some things

Came in at 10:15pm on a Friday night for their late night munchies…. I was looking forward to some tacos and wings.
But to my surprise; they closed the kitchen early and they had no food options. Please don’t advertise a Late Night Munchies menu, if you don’t plan to offer it on a Friday night.
