In Ada, Ohio, community, craft beer, and modern entertainment now come together under one roof. Old Route 69 Brewery, known for its welcoming vibe and house-brewed beer, has taken its guest experience to the next level with four brand-new duckpin lanes powered by Funk Bowling. It’s the perfect place where pins meet pints.
By blending rustic-modern brewery charm with the excitement of duckpin, Old Route 69 has created a destination where guests can eat, drink, and knock down pins. At the heart of this installation is the Funk Nexus scoring system, delivering an interactive, seamless, and engaging way to play. This project shows how even small venues can embrace high-tech bowling to boost foot traffic and customer engagement.
Project Details – Duckpin, Pints, and Performance
This project exemplifies Funk Bowling’s ability to deliver space-efficient, high-impact entertainment. The brewery’s compact layout was no obstacle: Funk installed four duckpin lanes designed to fit seamlessly into the venue while maximizing the fun of chasing pins.
The installation includes:
- Funk Nexus scoring system for intuitive play and efficient operations
- Compact duckpin lanes tailored for small to mid-sized venues
- Seamless integration with the brewery’s rustic-modern design aesthetic
The result is a perfect balance of handcrafted beer and handcrafted fun—an inviting entertainment space that encourages guests to stay longer, return often, and celebrate every set of pins with friends and family.
