How cute is this table?

Made it to the brand new bar Rack & Pinz last weekend!
Matt and I were inspired to stop by on Saturday afternoon after finding coupons for a free game of bowling, a free game of pool AND a free order of wings while browsing the Reno News & Review that morning. I am a girl that just loves coupons.
The Pinz
We rolled in mid-afternoon to a very laid back atmosphere featuring sporty decor, 6 lanes, a slew of billiards tables, biggie wraparound bar and flat screens throughout. Rack n Pinz reminds me a places I’ve been to in other cities that are bars that happen to have a few lanes versus the other way around (as it is obviously intended to be.) The staff were all quite friendly, especially our waitress. I really appreciated that, as my previous experience with the Cadillac Ranch staff (I’ve discovered Rack & Pinz and Cadillac Ranch are sisters) was horrible. I’m glad this Legends conglomerate is redeeming itself somewhat to me.
82. I blame it on lane 6.
We bowled one game, neither of us breaking 100… Something to note is that we got lane 6–you do not want lane 6. Because the bowling area is so small in comparison to the entire bar space, the outside lanes are crammed right to the walls. Therefore, avoid also lane 1. I maintain that I bowled an 82 soley because with every ball toss down the lane my left hand hit the half wall to my right.

Matt the Shark
Not wanting to miss the RACK of Rack & Pinz, we redeemed our coupons for billiards and wings and got a couple of games in before we called it an afternoon. I can now say I HIGHLY recommend all things BBQ at Rack & Pinz–oh my, the BBQ wing sauce was delishish.
To conclude, I hope Rack & Pinz does well! I will fo sho be back! But I make this recommendation to the owners of Cadillac Ranch and Rack & Pinz: Keep the coupons coming–love it…but PLEASE hire an agency and get a marketing strategy. Your ads are a mess. You can’t be everything to everyone…And that’s A-okay.

Update 12/11/09: Went back to Rack & Pinz to grab a drink and play a game of pool after shopping last weekend. Found out that Rack & Pinz charges (or attempts to charge) patrons $10/hour to play pool. WTF? We left annoyed without buying anyting.

Go there. (But maybe not at night or alone.) For an extra special treat, visit the Mexican market next door–the meatery has full on dead pigs roasting.
