    I went bowling with the kids this afternoon at Beaver - Vu. The bowling alley is quite nice and very kid friendly. They have different bowling options. You can either buy a family package "by the hour" or pay per game. The bowling shoes we rented where on good shape. Thanks God! I hate nothing more then outworn old ones.. lol We got some fries and drinks while we where bowling from the snack bar. The snack bar was very clean - big plus. I overheard the two staff members talking about having all the dishes done for the oncoming shift to make it easier for them. I thought that was really nice and tells me that there must be a good team work. We had a good time and the kids really liked it.

    This place is pretty big, so even when it's busy there are always lots of lanes open. Usually there are lots of parties here. When that happens all the lighter balls are taken and you're left with the heavier bowling balls. The price for a shoe rental is less than $3 and the type of shoes they rent out are the kinds where you tie instead of the velcro kind. It was easy to navigate the computer to add in your names. And we had fun here. If you're interested they serve pizza, beer, hot dogs and more here. All for a fairly low price. There's a whole bar too. And a pro shop. Tons of parking.

    I had a CLOSING scheduled at 1:00 PM and wanted to celebrate with a BADA$$ grilled cheese before we started! There is no better place to get that sandwich than the bowling ally... ALANA was on the grill and did not disappoint. That grilled cheese and french fry combo was one of the best I've ever had!!! Thank you so much!! That's how you celebrate a win!!!

    Fun bowling alley. We came in on a Saturday afternoon around 1pm. The place wasn't very busy so we were able to get a lane pretty quick. The lady Wendy behind the counter was great about running through all our options since we had a big group (about 11). We opted for the normal pay by game option but she was right if we had all paid together and gone with the family 2 hr special it probably would have saved us some $$. The lane had some issues (the bumper kept getting stuck up for all the bowlers not just the kiddos) and they didn't have a kids ramp (it had been borrowed and not returned yet.) The food was decent and it was prepared pretty quickly. I really enjoyed the pizza (so much so I almost forgot to take even the photo I snapped. We also tried the tater tots (a must) and the cheese curds. The cheese curds were okay but they had a little too much batter and a little too little cheese curd for me. All in all it was a fun time for the family. We would come again if the family wanted to.

    This placed is AWLAYS packed- or looks it from the outside. Seriously, I always thought this was the go-to spot for bowlers in Beavercreek because the parking lot is ALWAYS packed brim with cars. In actuality, it's only decently busy. On a Friday evening, my party of 4 was one of three- maybe even four if I'm being generous- parties. The lanes were clean, the chairs/tables were comfortable enough for a 9 months pregnant behemoth (me!) and the machines used to track scores were kinda dated, but still in good working order. The staff were hospitable enough and the bathrooms were decently clean!, despite the green stuff on the ceiling. The only really annoying thing was that EVERYTHING we wanted to order was unavailable. Literally. Couldn't even get pizza. Overall, the experience was underwhelming.

    Crowded, money pit. Overall we did have a good time. We were able to walk from one game to another…read moreand not feel like people were all over us. Can be expensive especially on your first visit. They have a lot to offer with games, bowling and food. It was a little dirty, but giving the nature of the activity it's a little understandable. The location is pretty convenient. Lots of stores, hotels and eateries around. Parking is plentiful.

    I'm writing regarding an extremely disappointing experience we recently had at your establishment…read more Unfortunately, the level of customer service and professionalism we received was unacceptable from start to finish. We were charged for an extra hour of pool even though the area was completely empty except for us, and not one employee informed us that our time was ending or had already expired. Every other billiards establishment we've been to gives customers some kind of warning or reminder before charging another full hour, especially when staff are literally standing around and the place is not busy. Instead, it felt like the employees simply allowed the clock to continue running so we could be charged more money. The male employee working the front counter around 10 PM 5/18 who were responsible for billiards seriously need better training and need to pay closer attention to the times assigned to customers. It came across as careless, irresponsible, and honestly felt intentionally overlooked just to squeeze extra money out of us. Customers should not have to constantly monitor the establishment's timing system themselves while employees fail to do their jobs properly. On top of that, we were also overcharged for drinks due to another staff mistake. We ordered one drink, yet the bartender made two. Before the drinks were even handed to us, we clarified the mistake, but instead of correcting the order, we were told that "refunds aren't allowed" and still charged anyway for something we did not ask for and never intended to purchase. Charging customers for an employee's mistake is unacceptable. Between the lack of communication, poor attention from staff, refusal to correct obvious errors, and overall unprofessional handling of the situation, this experience completely ruined our night. It's frustrating to spend hard-earned money somewhere that clearly does not value fairness or customer satisfaction when there are plenty of other places nearby that are cheaper, more organized, and actually respect their customers enough to communicate properly. I would appreciate this situation being taken seriously and reviewed by management. At minimum, I believe compensation is warranted for the extra hour charge and the incorrect drink charges, considering both issues resulted directly from employee negligence and poor service. As it stands now, we do not plan on returning, and I would be very hesitant to recommend your establishment to anyone else unless this situation is appropriately addressed.

For $20 per person each week we bowl 2 games and get a pitcher (4 people for one pitcher) it also includes a large two topping pizza. We were told no league games on holiday weeks. Then, they decide to bowl anyway the week of Thanksgiving. Our team missed the bowl due to holiday plans. We were told we could come make up the games another day. We go in Sunday, pay our $80 and are told no pizza since it's a make up day. THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT if you want to piss your loyal customers off then so be it! The new owners have JACKED THE PRICES WAY UP who wants to pay $17 per pitcher and $5 per beer? This is a freaking shitty ass bowling ally struggling for business. No happy hours, food quality has gone down, I'm sure they pay their employees shit for wage but want their loyal customers to over pay while they under deliver? Seriously for our last league night there was ONE employee in the entire place. The "cook" quit the week before and the bartender didn't show up. The new owners need to get their shit together and stop ruining what used to be an awesome place.

Upon entering, there is small bar on the right where you can order drinks, food, and play Keno. The bar is small but the drinks and food are reasonably priced and the food tastes good. Service was good and the bartender/server was friendly. The patrons, likewise, were friendly. There are lottery machines conveniently located just outside the bar where you can purchase lottery tickets and Keno tickets. We were told it was easier to get out Keno tickets from the machines rather than the server trying to enter them for us. The bowling alley itself is well lit and nice. It has regulation lanes and a few bowling balls, but the bowling ball selection is limited. My girlfriend and I were able to play one hour, which included shoes, for $32. The price seemed reasonable. The scoreboard machine has a variety of themed options. For example, there was an Angry Birds option where you could play five frames. There are also just straight up options with scoring only and 10 frames of play. It had been awhile since either my girlfriend or myself had bowled. However, we both had a blast and our hour of time went by quickly. This bowling alley is older looking but it is nice, clean and all of the employees were very friendly. I know I've went by this strip mall many times and didn't even know a bowling alley was even in there. It's kind of a hidden gem but I would go again. Service was great and it was not overcrowded. I highly recommend. My girlfriend and I had a lot of fun!

My boys love to bowl! I'm hopeless but I have fun doing it, and Bowl 10 has been a place we've been very curious to try. I am so glad we did! What a gem this place is! We ended up having an amazing night, and cannot wait to go back again. I have a feeling we will become regulars here, as it is close, the food is great for a bowling place, and the staff are truly warm wonderful people to interact with. Their facility is surprisingly modern and well kept. You can really tell somebody put a lot of love and vision into this business within a few minutes of looking around. The sofas where you sit as you bowl are done in a plush velour-esque fabric, and overall, were in great condition. Their bathrooms looked like something I'd expect of a fancy restaurant with their recessed lighting and beautifully done mirrors and new fixtures. I can always tell a lot about a business by the condition of it's bathrooms! If the bathrooms are neglected and dirty, imagine what the kitchen, behind the scenes where you cannot see, looks like! This place passed the test. Their full bar was done tastefully in black and white tile, had ample seating, with a wrap around bar and many flat screen televisions playing sports. Football season anyone? This place would be a fun place to bring the whole family, kids too, for a sports night out! Their cute little arcade room in the back seemed like a fun hangout for middle aged children and for birthdays while they even have a gathering room set aside for small informal meetings that looked like a cozy place to socialize in semi-private. They have lockers available (for purchase I assume) and vending machines if their bar menu doesn't do it for you, but with options like Burgers, Grilled Ham and Cheese sandwiches (with thin sliced ham) and unique options like their signature Funnel Cake Fries served with REAL Maple Syrup from a local farm or how about some Deep Fried Soft Pretzels with Cheese Sauce, you'll be sure to find something you're interested in. Their food is very reasonably priced, made right, and according to my Husband, absolutely delicious comfort style food. They have 20 lanes available for your bowling pleasure. Their lane prices were very reasonable; our bill came to $40.00 for three of us to bowl two games, shoe rental, two appetizers, one entree and four drinks, three of which were alcoholic. My Husband was impressed that they had good beer available (he had a Blue Moon) served with a wedge of orange, and I had a glass of White Zinfandel. I wish they had better wine options! I bet, with how awesome this place is, if I asked or suggested it, they would probably listen though! This place is a hidden gem, and as I said before, we all cannot wait to go back. A great night was had by all! Thank you Bowl 10! I give this establishment five enthusiastic stars! Sure, you can find fancier joints with twice as many lanes and cheaper prices with specials considered; but honestly, if feeling welcome and relaxed, a fair price for fair service, great comfort food, outstanding service and overall enjoyment were the only criteria here, I would give them six stars if I could. Highly, highly recommended. I've heard on the weekends they have "cosmic bowling" too, and judging by the vast array of lights and neat reactive paint on the walls, I'd say it is a gorgeous display!
