Pier Pins has been created as an 8,000-square-foot destination, with VR sports simulators, table games and a full bar and lounge in addition to four full-size bowling lanes.
As for virtual sports experiences — guests can try out golf, lacrosse, soccer and more by using one of three sports simulator bays.
Air hockey, ping pong and pool tables have also been included as gaming options at the entertainment lounge at 20 Melrose Terrace — not far from the Pier Village Carousel.
Pier Village as a whole attracts roughly 2.3 million visitors a year, according to its owners, Kushner Companies.
A public grand opening event for Pier Pins has been set for Sept. 7, from 6 p.m. until midnight.
The full bar also serves up high-end bar food, overseen by the team behind Pier Village’s Salt Steakhouse.
Pier Pins is open daily — from noon to midnight Sunday to Thursday and noon to 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
