    This is a great bowling league with tons of cool people involved. Extremely affordable and convenient to get to.

    Do I recommend this place? Ummm... yeah…read more Whether it's date night, entertaining out-of-town guests, or just looking for something fun to do, this is the spot. The food trucks outside are always a nice bonus, but the real draw is the atmosphere and games inside. Duckpin bowling is a blast, the place stays busy with great music and a lively crowd but never feels chaotic, and the staff does a great job checking in and making sure everyone's good. The restrooms are clean too, which says a lot for a place this big and popular. Parking isn't great, but that's just South End for you. Overall, this is consistently a 5/5 Charlotte hotspot.

I saw the huge slide that they have for adults outside on TikTok and thought I might give it a twirl. The environment was awesome, the inside was pretty clean. They have fire pits, huge tvs, bowling, anything you can think of, the ambiance is pretty great and the service was also pretty nice as the bartenders were very attentive. The only thing I didn't appreciate was the extra "holiday tip charge" which I believe was only 2% but they added it I guess to pay for the ambiance and maybe decorations, I'm not sure. I'm a big tipper and have no problem tipping, that's the only thing about this experience I didn't appreciate. Other than that, it was nice, didn't order any food so I can't speak too much about that but the drinks were delightful.

    Bowlero 10 has more than 10 lanes, 32 to be exact. The inside has gone through a major facelift…read moreeven though the outside is old, probably from the 1970s. Bathrooms are clean, and touch screens allow scoring and ordering food or drinks from the snack bar. The arcade is decent, and parking is ample from the outside.

    Made a reservation online for Sunday at 4:30 pm. Upon arrival, they had all my information ready…read moreand got us ready to go with shoes, everything in less than 10min. We had an awesome time! For 2 hours, we were able to play 3 1/2 games with 4 people. We ordered their Barbacoa nachos, garlic parmesean fries, and their honey hot pizza. It was ALL VERY DELICIOUS! The pizza had just the right amount of sweet and hot to it. It was very flavorful and delicious. The fries were crispy, not soggy and very fresh. The nachos were the best! They give you a generous portion with lots of meats. I honestly was impressed and very filling. We were all able to share the nachos and fries among us evenly and even had leftovers. The pizza we did have to order 2 just because it was so delicious that one regular size was not enough. Overall, we had a great afternoon of bowling. Not crowded at all. We also enjoyed a few rounds of games in their arcade spot. Not much games to choose from, but you will definitely still have fun. Also, the bartender Lidia (hopefully that's how you spell it) was amazing! She was super polite and efficient and was just a vibe. They do have a parking lot on both sides of the building with side street parking.

    Pretty decent spot for bowling. Ultimately, we had fun and it was pretty much what we expected. But…read moreI'll say some of the organization could use some improvement. We only knew our lanes were available when I went to check in on them. And while the online ordering system is great, it's pretty sporadic. We received 2/3 of the drinks from the same order (the one missing being a beer so likely the easiest to compile), which the bar was happy to give us as soon as we went to it, so I do wish I had just ordered at the bar. The bar staff were super friendly and attentive. We grabbed a pizza which was fine but I did appreciate the plates/cutter/etc that it came with making it easy to distribute. The location is great, easily walkable if you're in the area. And the wait time for two lanes itself was maybe 10 minutes on a Friday night, so definitely pretty accessible. I do wish there were a rack of available balls, as our lanes had a random variety of weights with no discernible rhyme or reason. They were out of socks the night we went, which is partly our fault for not wearing socks to go bowling.

    A group of my colleagues and I decided to make a reservation at Bowlero for our team event in…read moreCharlotte. As there were 20+ of us, we reserved 5 lines and planned for the full food catering with drink tickets for all. As I was helping to coordinate, I arrived right on time and found the check in process to be easy. Once we were shown to our lanes, I was excited as the place looked fun. Our waitress quickly walked up to me and asked if she could get me a drink to which I asked for an Iced Tea. She then asked if I meant a long island iced tea to which I said, no a regular unsweetened iced tea. She quickly shot that down and told me they didn't have that. When I then asked what non-alcoholic options they had, she told me that they didn't have any and I'd have to either get water or order a drink and just ask for light alcohol which is ridiculous. I walked up to the bar myself to ask a bartender and was luckily helped. Once the food package started to come out, I think we were all disappointed in the quality of the food. Many of the options had to be sent back from either being cold or just being so terrible they don't meet a basic acceptance criteria. The manager ended up coming out to apologize to our group for all of the issues and worked to make things right. The venue itself is fun and could be great but a lot of work needs to be done around service and quality of food. Until these fixed happened, I wouldn't be back.
