I am so impressed with this bowling alley, we cannot wait to go back! There were a lot of families with small children there which was nice. It was also our daughter's first time bowling and she loved it! The best part, though, was that when my daughter pinched her fingers between two bowling balls and started crying (ouch!), the owner came over with a squishy bouncy ball from the claw machine for her to have which instantly made her smile and that sealed the deal in my book for a quality establishment. :) The burgers and fries were very good, too. Cannot say enough great things about this place! Will be our go to bowling spot for our next family night out.

Even worse, I paid for songs on the jukebox and staff paused the music and turned the volume so low you couldn't hear it. If you're charging people to play music, at least let it be heard. The place has potential, but the attitude toward customers makes it hard to recommend.

Also a giant bug flew onto me while standing.

This place was getting better until the actual bowling season started. 1. The management is run by people who think spraying the approaches would fix them and barely put oil on the lane. They change the oil pattern to not cater to the bowlers, but to themselves. And they constantly change the pattern every week so you never know how it's truly gonna be. They change the pattern because they think changing the pattern every week is gonna make everyone happy. They never take proper care of the oil machine itself, when I look at the lane, every time it's dirty, when the oil machine should be cleaning the lanes.

You can enter from a separate door than the bowling alley. The food is priced similarly to other places, but is not cheap. The wings were delicious, the fries are crispy, the meals always come out well. They did forget bacon on my dad's food this last time, but we have come to expect a mishap sometimes. They did not charge for the bacon on the receipt either, so maybe a case of the order taker did not hear the request. They do have an ice cream shop attached, as well. Cash or card is accepted. They have a parking lot that can get quite full on bowling league nights. Throughout the year, they have quite a few food specials. It can sometimes get quite loud during late night events, or league nights. They have an arcade when you enter to the left. Money goes onto a card to be used to play. Pay attention to the machine as it does like to eat your money and provide nothing on the card. The games are fun! We definitely enjoy eating here, both while playing a game of bowling, and sometimes just to stop by.

She had 34 lanes open but wouldn't let me get a second lane. I understand the need to hold lanes on a Friday night but during their slow time? When I asked to refund my bowling but keep my sons she replied with, "I can refund you both and you can leave". I hadn't said anything beyond a simple request up to that point. We will never come back. Edit: there were no incoming leagues. There were 34 lanes open and after we were there for the 2 hours there were 2 additional lanes taken. They could have easily accommodated.

Came here with the Miss Sarit and her friends…read more The manager / owner (possibly) was super friendly and accommodating; we prepaid for 3 games each, but stuck around for two since it was late and we had been driving all day from NYC to this area-ish. He offered a full refund for the missed game, and even comforted us that it was "no problem! It's perfectly fine!" along with a warm smile. I mean, I would have been satisfied not getting a refund (it was only about 8$ per person for three games total so the refund was like a dollar each.) The bar was understocked, but that's understandable since most of the people here were underage. They do have 7.50$ pitchers of beer which is awesome. Left to my wiles I would have had 2-3! Get drunk and cause great concern for safety at this fun little spot.

Drifts of cologne alternate with sweat, smoke, and antcipation. Should I bowl, should I eat, should I drink, or should I cold step to the honey who clocked me the second I walked in?

I send a Rumplemintz to the honey and my other neighbor Dave says he likes my style. Book half nods with approval and the game is on.

The decor is all pretty dated but I actually expect that in bowling places, just the same as I would at a dive bar. It was fun bowling with my family! We all found balls for ourselves, enjoying the process of wandering the alley, picking up balls until we each had the right ones. There was a mix of adults and kids and everyone found what they were looking for. Aside from our group, the lanes were really busy with the leagues in town who all gave off a kind of hardcore bowling but relaxing in the man's club vibe. The most shockingly awesome thing about this place was the food. You ever just have an unexpectedly godly burger? That happened to me here! I thought I'd be getting regular greasy spoon but then I bit into the most perfectly toasted, slightly crispy bun with soft burger and cheese. I mean, damn. Totally normal but the texture blasted me! Aside from that food was cheap and fast, served in baskets, again what you'd expect. There are other places in the area but if you don't feel like driving over to Cortland then Hi-Lanes will suit you just fine.
