In the heart of a newly established entertainment district northwest of I-25 and Arapahoe Road is Pindustry, a cavernous venue that sports a vast array of interactive games, inventive drinks, chic-yet-tasty menu options, and one-of-a-kind rooftop views of the Front Range and Rocky Mountains.
When Pindustry opened on June 27, the public got its
first taste of a concept that combines the best elements
of entertainment venues across the country. The 54,000-square-foot fun center features traditional
bowling, duckpin bowling, billiards, cornhole, shuffle board, Skee-Ball, ping pong, darts, 10-foot-high basketball hoops, an expansive arcade with pinball machines and retro video games, and full-size beer pong that uses trash cans as targets.
Pindustry is most certainly a family friendly gathering spot, but after 8 p.m., patrons need to be at least 21 years old. On Friday and Saturday nights, there’s a palpable buzz that reverberates throughout – the sound of connecting in person with friends and family – and often a live
band, too.
An AstroTurf “arena” with five sets of cornhole and stadium seating is a particularly popular spot on the second floor of the building. Located on the ground floor beer garden is ping pong, darts and more cornhole, and three garage doors that open to the inside for a harmonious marriage between indoor and outdoor attractions on warm days.
Shannon Silva, sales and marketing director for Pindustry, said the venue is centered around “social gaming,” meaning any game can be played with a drink in hand.
