Their Story
Pins & Ales is a unique concept developed by Brad Shepherd, owner of All Star Bowling & Entertainment, in partnership with Bonneville Brewery. The concept was created to provide an adult-oriented bowling experience, combining craft beer with bowling in a sophisticated atmosphere. The space is separated from the main bowling alley by a threshold where patrons get ID'd, featuring comfortable luxurious seating, dimmed club-like lighting, adult music, and a prominent bar. This concept represents a partnership between All Star Bowling and Bonneville Brewery, which Shepherd founded in 2012 after purchasing the former Tracks Brewing Company building in Tooele.

Walking into Pins and Ales, the first thing you notice is the warm, inviting atmosphere. The lighting is perfectly balanced—bright enough to feel lively, yet soft enough to feel upscale and comfortable. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted promptly and professionally, setting the tone for the rest of our visit. As you enter the main area, you’re met with a beautifully designed round bar that immediately gives the space a high-end, modern feel. Everything is thoughtfully organized, and the ambiance is exceptional—stylish, clean, and clearly well-maintained. We enjoyed a couple of games of bowling, and I was genuinely impressed with how spotless and well-presented the lanes were. The equipment was in great condition, and the overall environment felt far more refined than your typical bowling alley. Our cocktails arrived quickly and were mixed perfectly, ice-cold and refreshing. The food was equally impressive. Our order came out piping hot, and the carne asada pizza was absolutely incredible—rich, flavorful, and definitely a standout item worth coming back for. Overall, our experience was a true 10 out of 10. We’re already looking forward to returning, and we’re seriously considering hosting our company Christmas party here. It’s a huge step up from Fat Cats—plus, we won’t have to dodge a crowd of toddlers while we try to bowl. 🤣 Highly recommend Pins and Ales for anyone looking for a more elevated, enjoyable, and well-run entertainment venue.

Love this place. From Liz at the front counter, to Kyle the security, also Colby my favorite bartender and dont forget Lindsey. They are all amazing and make this place great. Thanks for taking good care of us. They deserve a raise! *Edited It is always to damn hot in pines and ales side. I come almost once a week and it's always sooo hot. Please turn on the A/C! People would stay longer and eat/drink more if it was more comfortable

Always been the go to for my friends and I. This spot has only got better over the years. Love coming here, they remain dedicated to improving and it shows. Grab a beer or mixed drink, food is the best! The only small suggestions I have, music on the speakers can be too loud to talk with friends. I would like more whiskey drinks on the menu, old fashioned is a classic and should be on the menu. They made one for me but it was not the best. I will continue coming back, great staff. Awesome environment!
