St. Elmo Public Market Isn’t Happening in Austin Anymore | Eater Austin
"Planned for the South Congress space as one of two Rise Brands concepts, Pins Mechanical will be an activity and gaming venue featuring a large entertainment footprint for Austin: the space is slated to include 24 duckpin bowling lanes, 30+ pinball machines, 40+ arcade games (including Frogger and NBA Jam), four bars, a courtyard, and two mezzanines for private events; cocktails will range from classics to house drinks like a s’mores old fashioned and the Chai Me a River (with cold brew and rumchata), plus wines and beers. A company representative told Eater that “Austin aligns perfectly with the creative nature of the Pins brand,” construction will start this year, and the goal is to open in 2024." - Nadia Chaudhury
