Came on Sunday at around 11:30am . The place is very open and spacious with bowling , ax throwing ,…read morearcade , food etc . Played the arcade games for a while and yes more expensive than Chuck E. Cheese haha but my kids enjoyed getting some plushies out from the claw machines and playing the virtual game . We reserved 1 lane for bowling the tables there were a bit too close together but that's probably expected since it's a small area with high stools and we have 3 small children so we finished bowling then went to the main area to get a table with regular seating to eat . The staff was really attentive and friendly took our order and the food was out pretty quickly. We ordered wings , fries and mac and cheese all very good . All in all we had a great time .

My first time at Strike & Barrel did not disappoint. My group reserved three lanes for axe…read morethrowing. I'm new to the sport but picked it up quickly after multiple rounds of practice throws. To partake in axe throwing, you are first briefed by a staff member on safety and technique. Once that's done, you are ready to pick up your axe and try your hand at hitting the target board. The staff member who oversaw our group is a great coach. There is a full bar available with menus at each table. Our group ordered multiple pizzas. As one who is picky with pizza, I can say that the pizza here is "good." I wasn't too excited about it, though I'm glad to have a slice. The weekday crowd was slim. I imagine weekends are busier. Overall, I had a pleasant time and would enjoy another round of axe throwing. Or I can sit in the lounge seats at the front, sit at the bar, or come when there's a major sports event on TV.

We decided to try CAPPS on a rainy Saturday and were pleasantly surprised! For two adults we got…read morethe unlimited fun pass that made all activities available to us except the VR room. Several of the axe throwing stalls were open so we started there. Then we did the pirate putt putt, and it was amazing! The effort they put into the decorations and hole designs was evident. Next we tried out the arcade area, which is much larger than you would think from the outside. From there we tried the second putt putt area with a retro feel; even the music was spot on. We wrapped up with mini bowling and had a blast. The food is reasonably priced but nothing special. We would have spent more if they had a kitchen/ grill like you would find at a bowling alley. The drinks ranged from bottled water to sports drinks to soda to alcohol. Overall the building and equipment were clean and well maintained. The staff were very nice and helpful. The majority of the building is accessible, including the multi-stall bathrooms and activities like mini bowling. Other than the gendered multi-stall bathrooms there are several single stall gender neutral bathrooms but only one was in service when we went. The single stall bathrooms are located inside the entrance to the retro putt putt, inside the arcade area, and just before you get to the VR area.

Such a fun atmosphere for a kids party or a day with the family. They have Two different rooms for…read moremini golf. We did the pirate one, it was so nicely put together to go with the theme. We also did the mini bowling and axe throwing. You're able to pick what you want to do and there's even a package deal if you want to do a little bit of everything. They have a variety of beers and food options. From pizza to popcorn and ice cream. We tried a cream cheese stuffed churro. They are also setting up a whole VR room we were chosen to test it out. It's still under construction but once they finish I know it's going to be a popular choice. Lastly they have a huge set up for cornhole tournaments. We really enjoyed our time. But for parents to be aware it can be a little pricey to do many of the options they have. So do your research before going. Overall we had a wonderful time with the family.

My husband and I went to Rainbow Lanes yesterday afternoon with our baby girl and had a great time!…read more Rainbow Lanes is a no frills, spacious bowling alley and arcade that gives 80's or early 90's vibes. We loved it. I am so used to a "fancier" spot such as Kings at North Hills, but I would come back here over Kings now that I have been! Everyone that worked there was friendly. The space is huge, and they have many lanes. You don't feel like you are on top of each other, which is nice. I believe it was about $30 for all of us to play two games/get shoes, which is not bad at all! They have a huge arcade type space with plenty of games and even a small ride that mimics the Himalaya at the N.C. State Fair! You can play games, earn tickets, and they have a full force prize booth! It's pretty cool! There is an incredibly extensive food menu, and they have decent drink options as well; beer, wine, soda, juice, water, etc. The only food we got were the chicken tenders, and although frozen I actually asked the woman the brand. These were some of the best chicken tenders I have ever had and did not seem frozen at all. Eager to try some new foods next time! We are already planning our next trip back!

On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.

We came here for the first time last Sunday afternoon. It was a very cool spot and a great value!…read more The arcade is pretty big, with a wide variety of games. Tokens are reasonably priced and older style arcade games only take 1- the more interactive or multi player games (think air hockey, basketball, dance dance etc) take 4. They have free popcorn, daily drink specials, and drinks were very reasonably priced. Despite being fairly busy, service at the bar was friendly and fast- I was impressed! Not much else for food here from what I can tell, so don't plan on having your meal here. I brought two teenage boys and we hung out for almost 2 hours- I think I spent about 40 bucks including tokens and a couple of drinks for myself. I really liked the street art vibe, especially all of the murals and the Instagram wall. They've done a great job with ambiance! The outdoor patio adds a lot of additional chill space. When we were there they didn't have a band playing, but I think they do often. I almost want to give it 5 stars, but several of the games were not working properly and ate our tokens. That say you can grab someone to fix them, but nobody appeared available, and I wouldn't have wanted to bother them multiple times anyhow... Would be great if they were proactively checking and fixing them. More snacks would be great too! Other than that it was a really great experience, I would definitely go back.

This place is a perfect mix of upscale lounge and playful hangout spot. They have bowling lanes,…read moredarts, foosball, shuffleboard, board games, and karaoke room. The place is huge and great for big social gatherings. I had high hopes when I first got inside but got quite disappointed with the food. I wanted to love the Mushroom Al Pastor tacos, but they're too salty. I found myself reaching for water after almost every bite. I asked for more limes and the ones I got seemed to have been sitting on the bar counter for a while, not freshly cut at all. The menu says it's supposed to have cilantro and charred pineapple salsa. Interesting, I didn't taste any. My friend who opted for the Chips and Salsa said that wasn't good either. Too bad!

I was so excited to try out what looked to be a fun place for a group outing on a Sunday early…read moreevening. I regret that I was very disappointed in the food and the service. The ambience with the bowling and other games was great but no staff person helped us understand or introduced the options. Also several areas were corded off for two private events. The drink wall was almost empty, the fountain sodas were inoperable and the kitchen was closing early on a Sunday night. The staff also used tape to cover 1/4 of the menu items as unavailable. Pagers for food did not work. It was as if the restaurant had just opened and was experiencing new location jitters. Food was ok, drinks were marginal and service poor. I won't return.
