Can we make reservations?
Lane rentals are made in person only and are first-come, first-served. A waiting list is available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, but joining it does not guarantee a lane. For birthday parties or groups under 25, email parties@thecityforum.com. For groups of 25 or more, email sales@project2231.com or call or text 931-220-6323.
Are there age restrictions?
There are no age restrictions at Varsity Pins. Bring the family, bring your friends, and have a great time.
Do you reserve space for events?
Yes. Visit our events page to review the available event options.
Do you have food?
Varsity Pins does not prepare food in-house. The City Forum’s Streatery kitchen serves the Varsity Pins area, and Dock 17 is another option inside the warehouse.
How much does it cost?
Duckpin bowling: $25 per hour for one lane Wednesday and Thursday; $35 per hour Friday through Sunday.
Pinball: $1 per game.
Do you have duckpin leagues?
There are no duckpin leagues scheduled at the moment. Follow Varsity Pins on social media for future announcements.
Do I need socks or bowling shoes?
Duckpin bowling does not require socks or bowling shoes. If you plan to ride the Go Karts at The City Forum, closed-toe shoes and socks are required.
How long does a game last, and how many people can play?
Each lane accommodates four to six people. Larger groups can split across two side-by-side lanes. A game generally lasts 45 minutes to one hour.
Can I bring decorations?
Decorations are only permitted with an event rental or birthday party. Contact the events team to plan your celebration.
