    Expresso martini
    Pam H.

    Fun atmosphere and we love playing music trivia on Friday nights but the food & drinks are hit or miss. On our last visit we enjoyed the nachos which were wonderful and a beer (okay but a little pricey). The most recent visit included an amazing expresso martini and a pretty sad sweet & spicy - super small premade drink. The loaded baked potato is excellent. Haven't had the chips & dip yet (been waiting over an hour).

    A group of friends and I went to Alley's Alehouse for music bingo! This is a hugely popular event that takes place most Friday nights from 7-9 PM, so reservations are a MUST! Every table was filled with customers. Music bingo allows attendees of all ages, so this is a perfect evening activity for families, friend groups, and even company outings. The DJ was fantastic, he was engaging, cracked jokes that made the whole restaurant laugh, and played themed music whenever someone won a bingo. This was a 5-star experience! As for the food, I would rate everything in the 3-star range. I ordered a Smash Burger, and it was unfortunately overcooked to the point where the meat was black and the bun was charred. I could only eat half of it. The fries were OK, not too greasy or salty, but nothing special. My friend ordered a shrimp taco, and she enjoyed the guacamole topping but was not a fan of the hot sauce that came on the side. My other friend ordered a strawberry milkshake, which was delicious but very small for the $7 that she payed for it. I understand it was a very busy night, but our service was very slow and it took 20 minutes to get our checks back after we paid. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very retro-chic, with concert posters plastered on the walls and leather couches to sit on. Overall, it was a great environment to enjoy a fun night out.

    Came here for Trivia night on Wednesdays which is a blast. Food is always good and service is great. Our waitress, Khareen, was awesome and very attentive. Even through it was a busy night as made sure our drinks were full and our food was delivered hot. Trivia night is a fun. They always play good music and it's never to loud so you can have a good conversation.

    This is close for me and service is quick. I've had the strawberry fields salad multiple times now. I really enjoy it with the raspberry vinaigrette dressing. It may have some hidden sugar with the toppings used. I'll pay more attn next time. They have a lot of beers on tap and they allow you to sample. I went with Blake's grand cherry; quite refreshing. It was described to me to be a cherry cider. The setting is casual and family friendly. During warmer months, huge outdoor volleyball play. There's also an outdoor bar during that time.

    Stopped in here for a quick bite on my way home from work, I've been to pinheads many times but never ate at Alleys so I decided to give it a shot. I was greeted and sat down pretty quick but it took my server a little more time than I liked to come to my table, once she did the service was fine, and the food came out pretty quick. Portions were good and I was happy with my meal. I also ordered the chips and Queso for an appetizer (not pictured) that was pretty decent size as well it also came with two sides of salsa.

    What a surprise! I've never had such good food at a bowling alley. In fact, its pretty good for any restaurant. My first visit was just for lunch and I really enjoyed it (I don't recall what I had). Tonight we came back for dinner and brought my parents. We had the medium "Dude" pizza and really liked it. The edge crust was a bit thicker than I would like, but it was so airy/fluffy that it worked. The garlic butter brushed over it was really nice. Even the side salads were impressive. Lots of tvs, lots of seating. Live trivia on the night we came. The arcade looks really impressive, and so do the bowling alleys.

    Try the Drunken Pig burger!

    Sometimes service can be hit or miss but try the Drunken Pig burger! Pretty solid for bowling alley food.

    Alley's Alehouse, next to Pinheads, is a wonderful huge bar and entertainment area with fireplaces and TV'S at all different angles. It is a wonderful place to watch sports and hang out with friends. The craft beer menu is excellent and the variety of food on the menu is superb. The servers are a hoot and very accommodating to the customers. My simple burger was very good, and the wings my friend ordered was great, but he said a couple of the wings may have been undercooked. I tasted one of the wings and it was good. It did not taste undercooked to me. They do have drink specials throughout the week which are very worthwhile and can save you money. Alley's is a great bar and would recommend this place to all of my friends. You will get your money's worth at Alley's!

    This Rainbow Unicorn is a lovely fruity punch with glitter.

    It's not a bowling alley it's my go-to favorite spot for food and craft beer; there are more than 65 beers on tap. Alex the bartender/ mixologist is a delight. He creates seasonal signature cocktails steeped in love. People love the tenderloin, it's huge. My favorite is The Big Cheese. It starts with grilled Gouda (just the cheese) combined with a generous helping of crispy bacon and a smear of house made raspberry compote then the whole sandwich is grilled to perfection. It's a heavenly delight. There is a fireplace with couches to snuggle up in the winter and a great viewing area for sand volleyball in the summer. Check out these drinks created by Alex:

From the moment you walk in, the vibe is upbeat, welcoming, and perfect for hanging out with friends or family. The lanes are clean and well-kept, the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and there's that classic bowling-alley energy that makes every frame feel exciting--whether you're a pro or just there for laughs. And then there's the pizza. Wow. It's the kind of pizza you don't expect to be that good at a bowling alley--hot, cheesy, flavorful, and exactly what you crave between turns. One slice quickly turns into "okay, just one more," and before you know it, the whole table's asking for another pie. Great bowling, great food, and great memories--Bowl 32 is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Total strike across the board!

    Top Golf is fun. That's the bottom line. If you want to get a small to medium size crew of people…read moreand simply have a good time, you should add Top Golf to your menu of activities. The greatest thing about Top Golf, in my humble opinion, is that it is so accessible for people who don't golf. I visited before I took up the game of golf, and I've been back several times since I became a scratch (nope, scratch that!) double-par golfer (LOL) and I've had fun every time I've been. And even though I've improved my golf swing, a friend or family member (my sister, Stacy, I'm talking to you!) would crush me at times on the score board with absolutely zero golf experience. Of course, this depends on the game you choose. There are several games with various rules that can either widen or narrow the experience gap. My favorite is the original Top Golf game where you aim for the colored circles. Other games, like Block Party (or maybe "bloc" party) give points for hitting it literally anywhere. I had my best shot of the day to the back net, and scored a fraction of the points an opponent scored for hitting it short and letting it roll. Oh well, what can you do?! The food is pretty good here. And they offer a full bar because what's golf without a strong drink to calm your nerves! I've had the flat bread pizza. Actually, after we finished our round, we went to the restaurant/bar and watched IU smack Oregon so hard it looked like DeChambeau on a Par 5 (mashed potatoes!). Oregon wished they had a mulligan, for sure! I digress. At the bar, I ordered the donut holes and the hot honey pepperoni flatbread pizza. That hot honey was great! The donut holes are good and come with two syringes filled with chocolate or Bavarian cream. There is also a raspberry option, and you can get all three for an extra charge. They give you a lot of little donut balls! Service is pretty good at Top Golf. You can tell they are busy, but the servers do a great job to make it to all the bays. And even when the bar was hopping during the game, our guy kept checking in regularly. The atmosphere is comfortable and chill. They know you are there to relax and unwind and maybe take out a little stress relief on their tiny, dimpled balls. The staff gets you checked in early, answers any questions you may have and will even teach you how to use the ceiling heaters (ours did!). Yes, they have heaters! Each bay has three large heaters in the ceiling you can control independently, so even in the winter, you can swing away. Just no Happy Gilmore approaches! Have fun out there!

They also have some pinball machines -- some you can play for an extra fee, and some seemed like they could be played with the price of admission. There are also some interactive games, like Dance Dance Revolution. Speaking of admission: You pay $15 for a wristband that grants you access to almost all of the video games, and you can come and go all day. If you're really into playing video games, this is a great deal. They don't sell any food or beverages here, so if you want something to eat or drink, you'll need to leave and come back.

They added some new games since the last time we came here. The games run on cards, which can add up pretty quickly, but they do offer some deals. We went with the $55 all-day play option (just note it excludes the purple games and has a 1500 ticket cap), and also purchased another card for $65 with 375 chips. It ended up being a good mix, and as a family, we had a really great time. Where things fell short was at the bar. My husband and I ordered drinks, and unfortunately the bartender wasn't very friendly. I felt rushed while ordering, and the overall interaction just didn't feel welcoming. I ordered the "Million Dollar Rita," and was honestly disappointed when I received it, it didn't look like the picture at all. When I asked about it, I was met with a bit of an attitude and asked if I had even tasted it yet, which felt dismissive. After trying it, I mentioned it tasted like a regular margarita, and that's when she told me several ingredients were out of stock. That definitely would've been helpful to know upfront, as I probably would have ordered something else. What made it more frustrating was that it still cost the same premium price. I ended up finishing the drink, but the service kind of killed the vibe for me, and I didn't feel like ordering anything else. It was awesome for the kids and my son had a great experience, but the bar service could use some work.

No workers, machines completely not working, a lot of games out of order and no one in the place says a lot!
