    A great way to meet new people and make new friends. Also a good time bowling on the lanes.

    This place has bowling, drinks and food! The food is from the bar Nextdoor, The General Public. I…read morereally liked their ginger spritz. It featured ginger beer, lemon juice, and yuzu syrup. It was delightful! You could really taste the yuzu. They added a mint leaf for garnish too. The food included a caesar salad, bread and pistachio crisp, and this super yummy spinach artichoke dip. The dip was my favorite! The baristas were very friendly! There are complimentary socks if you need them to bowl.

    Save your money - do not order the pizza! I ordered the cheese pizza for $22 along with a couple…read moreother items from the menu, but somehow something was lost in translation over the music and I received a slice of cheese pizza for $7.50 (I didn't know this was an option because it's not on the menu). The staff offered to try to bring the whole pizza that the slice came from (a half cheese and half pepperoni pizza). I agreed because paying 1/3 of the cost of a whole pizza for just a slice didn't make sense to me and it wasn't what I ordered. Once the whole pizza came out, I tried a slice and it was bad. The cheese was waxy and flavorless. That's when I regretted not agreeing to just a slice and only paying $7.50. That being said, they offer a large soft pretzel which is a good option, however I'm not a fan of the cheese sauce that comes with it (and I love cheese). The building is great for bowling, which is $32 an hour and shoe rental is $6 per person for VERY worn down shoes/laces. A party of 4 will pay $25 and change for shoe rental that was uncomfortable for two out of the four of us. I would recommend bringing your own bowling shoes. Lastly, we were celebrating my daughter's birthday on this visit and learned they don't do anything special for birthdays. We will definitely try somewhere else for a future celebration.

    Overall, this a pretty nice place to get your bowling on! We usually buy the bowling pass during…read morethe summer so everyone in our household can take advantage of the fun and you seriously can't beat that deal (2 games + shoe rental) and also depending on what pass you get, the regular one or the premium one (you get an extra discount for food when you bowl, also everytime you go you get a $5 arcade credit as well!). This location specifically is pretty clean overall, wait staff is a hit or miss, there's usually maybe 3-4 when we go right when they open so we get the space for ourselves until the rush starts coming through at around 2-3. We usually get pretty good service whenever we go overall, we just had only one rare moment with a front check in person about some of the rules that we weren't aware of that changed all of a sudden. I understand that if there's some changes with how things are done, totally ok with that, but there's also a way to explaining it to us as we were accustomed to prior to the bowling alley. Just tell us without having some attitude about it - That's my only rant, otherwise it's a great spot! Parking: plenty shared with a bingo spot.

    Family gathered for the holidays decided to try an afternoon of bowling at the place near our…read moreneighborhood. It was easy to make a reservation online, but we were astounded by the $56 person price! We called and spoke to a very friendly, very helpful sales rep who offered several specials to consider. We chose 2 hours of play with shoe rental, unlimited soft drinks and 2 drink tickets per person. Final price was $13/person cheaper than the online booking version. We had a blast! We had two lanes side by side at end of the alley. A friendly server brought menus over, answered any questions we had, and took our order for fun specialty drinks. The drinks served were really good! Also available is a nice selection of food options, but we didn't try anything as we had dinner plans after bowling. It was easy to set up player and team names (Dominators and Gutter Cousins) on the digital scoreboards, then we got the balls rolling! None of us had bowled in a very long time, and our skills varied widely. We laughed and cheered and trash-talked our way through the games. It's loud enough in the place that we could yell and cheer without disturbing anyone. Center table between the lanes held our drinks, and the cushioned bench seats were heavily padded and comfortable. Two hours of play passed quickly! We all had a great time despite the occasional gutter ball! Everyone said they'd forgotten how much fun bowling is. We'll definitely be making plans to come again!

    40 lanes. Went on a busy night and waited about 30 minutes. Worth it, even though our lane was broke. We got a free game :)
