Pin-up Bowl | 6191 Delmar Boulevard, pinupbowl.com
The most important part of an adult’s birthday party is the drinks, but having your birthday party in a bar is played out. It’s hard to keep the party together because everybody scatters and then you might as well all just be random people at a bar, not people who are all there to do the same thing. That’s why the best place for a grown-up birthday party is at Pin-Up Bowl in the Delmar Loop. Open until 3 a.m. on the weekends, Pin-Up Bowl is not just a bar, it’s also a cute little retro bowling alley with just enough lanes for you to host your birthday rager. If bowling isn’t their thing, your guests can also play pool while enjoying the full bar and ordering food off of their limited (but delicious) menu. —Jaime Lees
