This is the best bowling ally in the Portland Vancouver area. It is an old fashion bowling lane, low key atmospher, family friendly, and worn around the edges. It is half the cost of all the other bowling lanes. I will never go to another bowling ally. I cringe at the fancy high cost spots near downtow.

Once a year I agree to pretend I know how to roll a ball down a lane.. not bad this time lol

Never been disappointed coming here. Lanes work most of the time - and they fix a glitch really quickly. Prices are great. 20+ lanes. Nice bar area, bowling alley food fare - personal Pizzas ok. Billiards area snd small arcade area for rugrats. We come here whenever we are in town.friendly staff.

You can change your background which is fun for he kiddos

Not bad for an older bowling alley. Sunday's are where it's at. They have $1-2 games and comic bowling on Saturdays in the afternoon for $5/game per person. Along with Friday/Saturday nighttime cosmic bowling. I've been coming here since I was a kid and it hasn't hanged much. It's a chill place to come in Vancouver especially if you have kids. They offer pizza and a small bar. Typically bowling alley food which isn't terribly. The staff are pretty friendly.

The pro shop was pretty cool. I love the bowling ball "history" on the top back shelf. They seemed cool & friendly. And I got a good double-roller at a good deal- $76! Most are like $100+. Pretty solid retro bowling alley. Nice website. Great typical american cafe fix. Cool bar for those folks. The ball rack and UG chute were kinda noisy and the place lacks a bit on the maintenance side. Cool scoring monitors and system, though. This also happened to remind me that Brunswick's Great Universal Furnishings are SO 90's! And all too common... The scoring system was neat, though---er, the characteristic animations i mean. :) Oh, and the lanes weren't bad, either.

This bowling alley is absolutely awful. it's riddled with mold. The ceiling looks like it's about to cave in. Do not go here as I left feeling so sick.

Everything is busted or in its last leg. Staff are jerks and not helpful when issues pop up. Won't be back.

The place was clean and I felt like I traveled back to 1991 (which is what a bowling alley should be).

3.5 stars for just the arcade - it's clean, organized, and full of enough bright lights to attract…read moreanyone passing by. Lots of "prize" games but very pricey & of course, the kids we brought wanted to win the big stuff like a brand new Nintendo Switch or PS5. Unfortunately one kid walked away with nothing (as a mom, totally expected that to happen. These games don't allow winners.) but my son spent probably 20+ dollars on a stuffed animal so I guess for him, it wasn't a total bust. The parking lot was pretty full, and I learned walking in that there was a bowling league there. Busy lanes! I can't speak to the food but did get a Bloody Mary which was decent enough. It's a sketchy area, if you aren't Portland-familiar. Don't leave valuables out in the open, blah, blah, blah. You know how the rest goes.

Perfect rainy day activity…read more What to do on a Sunday when you have nothing to do! Well, bowl it is. We were told there was a 30 minute wait for a lane that we could only have for 90 minutes since a league needed a few lanes. The wait was just enough time for us to go to the other side to order a pitcher of cerveza and some grub. We had just poured a pint when the front desk called to say the lane opened up. We ended up waiting less than we initially thought. A win. The food we ordered was brought over to our table. We were starving. Let me tell you something, the food was amazing. Let me give you a rundown because we ate ate. We got the wings. That mango habanero was wow. We got dry rub for the other option. Also very good. The garlic parmesan fries was perfectly cooked. I kilt that dipping sauce. The corndog bites reminded me of my childhood. We also got a pizza. I'm not sure if it was the combination of my high from doing so well plus the two bowls I hit on the way over, but the food slapped. We ate everything. Killed all the plates. The foods slapped so hard I forgot to snap picas. The service was great. Everyone was nice. I specifically loved that their pins were free. I'm in a bowling league in LA and the pins at the spot I go to are held by strings and I firmly believe I'd have more strikes if they were free. Also, random but I loved their setup - a huge table with seats that slide back. It was great for when you got too comfortable yapping and forget it's your turn to bowl so you spring back. There was ample space for you to turn. I dug it. We ended up playing 3 games. Now I know where to hang whenever I'm in town.

The service is consistently rude, cold, and unprofessional. It's the same group every time, and nothing ever improves. There's no sense of customer service. Just short attitudes and a clear vibe that they don't want to be there or deal with people. On my most recent visit, I had an issue where my phone number was entered incorrectly. When I pointed it out, instead of simply fixing it, the response I got was irritation and attitude. Like I was the problem for asking them to correct their own mistake. That kind of interaction is unacceptable anywhere, especially in a place that markets itself as family-friendly. At this point, it's not a one-off, it's a pattern. When multiple visits consistently come with the same poor experience, it reflects a bigger issue with management and expectations. We enjoy bringing our kids here, but the ongoing lack of basic professionalism from the bar staff and the wait staff in the bowling alley, is seriously dragging down the experience. It shouldn't be this hard to get decent service. We all know it all starts at the top.

We came here for lunch, approximately about noon, we're in the neighborhood. It has a dark taverny…read moreatmosphere, as we expected. It was quite, about 3 patrons already seated, eating, and a few more at the video games/casino room. We've known about this restaurant for 13 years, since I've been coming in the area to do my market. This is actually the first time, we stopped inside for food. The booth where we sat, was too worn down, that I sank way low, the table comes up to my chest, we decided to sit ourselves on the dining table. The table we picked and already seated by then, was sticky. After my order, I mentioned our waitress, about it, and she came give it a nice clean. We waited awhile for our server, but not too long. Football games were playing on the large screens. From the menu we ordered, BLT sandwich with Beef & Barley Soup (I asked), and French Dip Sandwich with a side salad and Ranch Dressing. All the food were pretty good (since we didn't fix it ourselves), except the au jus which we found a bit salty. Our server was pleasant and checked with us several times. However, at the end, when we were waiting for our check, she went out for smoke. I went to use the restroom, came back, and still waiting for her to finish her smoke, sitting there waiting, bored! The chairs were pretty worn down, the restrooms need a good scrubbing, and re-painted the writings on the walls. In other words, a good make-over!
