New management has been doing an excellent job in breathing new life into Century Lanes!! It feels absolutely alive again with tons of people coming out again to bowl. read more

Another great time to unwind. Great food and great service! I had a NC bbq sandwich with cole slaw and onion rings. My son got his cheeseburger with the lettuce and tomato on the side and fries. Nothing beats the taste of food like this at the alley! read more

On 11/10, I called Century Bowling to ask if they could reserve two lanes for a party of six, and the manager was extremely rude to me. His tone was aggressive for no reason, and when I told him he was being rude, he backed off a little but the attitude was still unnecessary. I simply asked a polite straightforward question, and it did not require the nasty response I received. I had him on speaker phone, and the two ladies in my office overheard the entire conversation. When I hung up, they immediately commented on how rude he was, so I know it wasn't just me. I've used this place before for a party, but after this experience, I will never patronize them again. read more

We were looking for something fun to do on a Monday night and decided hey let's go bowling. We haven't been there in quite a few years, it's definitely had a facelift. The decor is very americana and has a freshly look. Fun atmosphere, fun food, clean overall. The staff could be a bit friendlier. Will definitely back it was a fun time. read more

Amazing price for the night! Played 2 games. Staff is friendly, even joked with my 8 year old on shoes. Go in there with a smile and the staff with treat you right. The food was fast. Wasn't even done bowling the second frame before it was ready. Specials were appetizing. For a family of 4, it was under $50 for 2 games and food. You cannot beat that price anywhere else in this economy! Will definitely come here again! read more

I called in for a reservation for a party of 8 at 9pm. They said "it'll be no problem" and said we would have two lanes.When we arrived they said they were full and couldn't take anymore people and we had to leave. Everything else was closing at 10 so we had nowhere else to go, very disappointing after being promised at least 1 lane. read more

This bowling alley is very old, but for a cheap and fun times with friends this is the place to go in the area. I admit I was a little apprehensive when I walked in, but everyone was extremely friendly. For people who are avid bowlers, the charm of a few decades ago might be valued or might be a turn off. Choice is yours on that one! I myself had a good time with a friend and would go back again. read more

We had some time to kill moving from one hotel to another and I found this place right in the middle, and only 15 minutes away from me currently. I love the atmosphere of locally owned ma and pa bowling alleys and this one did not disappoint. Games and shoe rentals are cheap, the facility is kept clean, and not only is the food amazing, but it too is inexpensive. They run daily specials and have the best and most friendly staff. Definitely looking forward to coming back when I can. Thank you century lanes! It's been a while since I bowled and am glad I came here rather than AMF or SPARETIME! read more

Century Lanes - Me bowling... I got a 209 - Bowling Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Always a good time for affordable bowling. Good food and great people. Never too packed. Great local spot!

Grew up in this bowling alley, amazing atmosphere and friendly staff. If you get a chance drop in say hey to Danny(if he's working) and roll a few games. They just redid their lanes recently and they are super smooth. read more

$2 a game per person and $1 for shoes. Unbelievable! This is a really old school bowling alley. Service was good. The people working were really nice. I'm pretty sure it's the closest one to the beach so if you're looking to take a break from the beach, go bowling! read more

Century Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

I don't understand why this place would be closing early on a Saturday night while paying customers are streaming through the doors. It makes no sense and certainly throws a wrench into peoples plans. I wouldn't drive all the way here again. read more

This place was straight up ass. The service was terrible, they took 30 minutes just for the food to arrive. Not only that, but the the bowling balls took too long to come to us. And to top it all off, I was going to buy myself a snack from the vending machin, and when I got it, it was 2 months expire. They need to rebuild these places, replace these retarted servies, espcially this white lady and mix dude. They were both acting retards. read more

The front counter staff are kind and very courteous. The snack bar staff are very attentive, and the food items are cooked to perfection. The manager, Cris Negron is nice and very helpful with pricing and setting up parties. Great fun and great bowling on old fashioned style wooden lanes. read more

This place is a diamond in the rough. They are priced EXTREMELY competitively and have the nicest staff ever. Their food and drink selection is rather extensive and their prices, again, are awesome. If you're looking for a spot to bowl, this is it! read more

Century Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Hampton, Virginia

Contacted Century lanes to inquire about their hours and pricing and was hung up on twice by an Eric. When I called back to ask for a manager or supervisor I was met by an attitude and hung up on yet again!! Then I was called by Eric who handed the phone off to Bill who asked me what my problem was and what I needed and where I was located. Here I am, a disabled Air Force vet, trying to take my family here, and these people with their very rude customer service will NOT GET A RECOMMENDATION FROM ME FOR THIS PLACE EVER! I'm glad those calls were recorded so I have the proof of everything that just took place. I'm also glad I found out how they were before even stepping foot here. They just lost money from me and mine. read more

Nice local bowling alley. Not expensive either. Ball selection was fairly skimpy. It was a good experience. Thank you!

Definitely the most affordable bowling alley in the area. Seems to be family owned and the staff is SO accommodating, patient, and friendly. =) Very kid friendly. The alley is slightly outdated, but I say it simply adds to its charm. They have a snack bar and serve an 8-slice pepperoni pizza for $6.15 - awesome! Their bowling balls are organized, and weights are identifiable by color. That made finding the light weight ball easy - just look for pink! =) We were just visiting the area, but I'd definitely go back. read more

First of all...I've always seen this from Pembroke but never bothered with it. Till, our date night a few nights ago. It was our first time. The place, although looks old, it was for the most part well-kept. The food prices were reasonable. We were able to do unlimited bowling with shoe rentals for $13/person. That was fantastic. They have this PINK pin, that if you strike with the PINK pin in the mix, then you can go up to the front desk and claim your free prizes. I won a free large drink and free onion rings. How cool is that? Although our lane 22 kept acting up, we did not let it bother us...we just used the downtime to enjoy the scenery and mingled with fellow bowlers. This is a very neat place, they have an arcade area as well. They have lockers and restrooms. The staff were wonderful and pleasant. Shocking, since most of the youth I've encountered in my day to day life are sort of rude and stuff. But these young kids were superb and pleasant. :) This is a family oriented venue; we got there and there were tons of families with littles ones as well playing. We will be back! read more

Umm yea I'm here wit my cousins, I ordered the food before I started bowling and it wasn't done for anther 30 minutes (they did not say that there would be a wait at all) , i bowled 7 times so I go up there she said okay 6 minutes I set a 10 minute timer it's still not done !!! Atp i wanted my refund but I was hungry .. food still took like 10 more minutes after the timer went off ... this why I don't go bowling now , also food is not great at all , def wouldn't recommend unless your on a budget lol. read more

Fun cheap bowling beer and good food. The lady working at the food counter is so friendly. She takes care of you and makes you feel like one of the regulars. read more

We moved to the area and wanted something to do. We decided to join a bowling league and Century is only a mile from the house. We were invited to join the league and are now on our third. The place is family owned. Everyone is awesome, learn your name immediately and you feel like you belong. The food is great! On Fridays there is a senior social for anyone over 55. We get a snack, drawings for money, red head pin strike money and so much more. It is great to meet so many other people like you and become friends in a new area when you are older. If you ever get lonely, come on down. Make friends. Don;t tell me no because you have never bowled before, because i hadn;t and I am having the time of my life. read more

Are you looking for a great place to hang out with your friends or family? Century Lanes has 32 lanes that are just waiting for you! The establishment is spacious. The lanes are well maintained! There is a arcade area games and a pool table. They also serve food and beer. The menu is good and the prices are fair! They have a bowling shop if you need some equipment. They are able to accommodate birthday parties! A great places to spend quality time with family, friends and coworkers! read more

The owner is the kindest man I met since moving here. And the bowling is quite great I might add!

Simple, friendly, oh so cheap. This place is a hidden gem. It is no frills bowling fun. Don't expect lasers and music like you might at the typical AMF but this place offers the basics. For me, that's all I need. This place looks frozen in time in the year 1990, but I actually kind of like that unintentional retro feel. The prices here have to be AT LEAST half the cost of going to AMF. Highly recommended. read more

Cold beer, cheap bowling, basic and not flashy. Always have a good time here. Staff is friendly and the food ain't bad either. Sometimes you gotta search for a ball that fits, but I have that problem anywhere I go bowling. They have plenty to go around if you don't have your own though! read more

I bowl there at least once a week, sometimes twice. It's outdated inside, but the lanes are real wood, not synthetic, which seems to give you better pin action. It's affordable, and you won't find a more conscientious staff. Especially Joan! She's the best! read more

The worst place I have ever been for a bowling party. My son's birthday party was booked a month out for 1:00 on a Saturday and we got called at 9:00pm the Friday before saying it had to be changed to 4:00 on Saturday. Seriously? The manager conveniently just left before we got there. There was not one single 6 pound ball in this place, which is standard for kids. We received two people to check on our group...one to deliver pizzas and one to deliver soda, otherwise nothing. The only positive was the kitchen staff behind the bar which were very pleasant! read more

Wonderful family owned bowling ally. Staff was wonderful, pizza was great and not the typical greasy bowling ally food you think of. Went with 4 adults and three kids 5 years and younger. Prices were fantastic. Checked out another bowling ally nearby and prices were almost double. Had so much fun I even bought a bowling ball! read more
