This place has the potential to be great! Location, live music, games, prizes, bowling etc. however! The MOLD smell is horrific. Honestly, I should have walked out but my kids wanted to play games. The mold smell is so over powering, I don't get how the staff can stand it. We were there less than 1 hour and could barely handle it. Health department needs to shut this place down. Or make them get the mold taken care of. read more

Finally made it here on a nephew and Aunty day! Woohoo! Lol This is such a cute retro little place. Love the vibe and MUSIC! Came here on a Sunday afternoon, hardly no people. The place is definitely older but the vibe and music is great. I want to come back here on a Friday or Saturday night when they have live band playing. Price of bowling was good. We played approximately 1 hour and 15 mins for 4 games with 2 people. The staff was nice. My nephew and I had a lot of fun. I broke a hundred points first time ever in bowling! Woohoo! And my nephew owes me a hamburger next time we hang out, because loser's gotta buy! Lol Definitely a cute place. I didn't try any food here as we had lunch elsewhere before coming here. Most definitely coming back here to bowl and groove to the 80s. read more

This place is pretty fun. With that being said, I think it is one of those bowling alleys that "knows what it is". It is a cheaper bowling alley for families and teens to go to. You aren't getting anything grand here so look elsewhere. I have been to this bowling alley three times in my life and the experience has roughly all been three star worthy except the last time, which I actually enjoyed a bit more but I think this location still deserves three stars. During this last time I went for a birthday party. We did the arcade and the laser tag as well which I hadn't done at Chippers before. The arcade though not as big as a full arcade obviously was actually really nice. All the games seemed up to date and in working order. Nice bowling arcade. Maybe this is coming from someone who hasn't played laser tag since they were a kid but that was a nice hidden gem for this place. Not a lot of hiding spots and the area wasn't huge but the game was fun. Nice experience. Hadn't really experienced the food before this trip but the pizza was good and the price seemed right for the bottled beer we ordered. Once again, this isn't a GREAT place but it is a good place. Not everywhere has to be 5 stars and I think in the case of a family friendly outing, 3 stars is suitable. read more

Had a good time here catching up with an old friend. Had attentive service and care from Jaden the bartender He was really wonderful, he was manning the bar but he was helping out others wherever / whenever he could. Seemed like he was the rest of employee's go to when they weren't sure about something. All around great experience. read more

We attended here as a field trip for the summer program I work with, and I am highly impressed! This is a great location for big groups and birthday parties with affordable prices and decent food! The staff was so accommodating in setting up our screens, shoe organizing for those without the proper set up, service, and retrieving our balls, as it was many of our young ones first time bowling. They did all of it kindly, with a big smile. We were especially impressed with Alyssa who showed so much patience and understanding in an obviously busy time. Give the girl a raise, she deserves it! read more

Soooo wonderful today! Brian at the front, Monica at shoes, Elisha at laser tag, girl with heart earrings (waitress) were all top notch!! They were so attentive! Great customer service! Made it fun & safe for our kids... We will definitely be back read more

Good time, lots of fun. I loved playing bowling and laser tag. Good Shirley temple. Their laser tag system is very old though

Just went bowling tonight. Got there at 4:30PM. Had a great time bowling. Until we went to close out the bar tab, the bar tender was a very nice employee but he charged us full price during happy hour. We pointed out the error after they charged our card, he offered us "fun bucks" or the equivalent of a card loaded to only spend money again at the bowling alley...not cash, not credit back to the card, just a bowling gift card. He fixed it after we asked for a proper refund multiple times. Then they charged us separately for our lane...again they charged us wrong. I have 2 young kids, one was crying and after waiting on the bar mistake we were ready to go. I pointed out the pricing was completely wrong. Sara behind the register said, well our GM says they have changed the pricing during "Christmas week". I said this doesn't match the website pricing. I asked her to fix it. She said they are running different prices not listed anywhere. She said I should have asked before swiping my card also. She refused to fix it, she refused to apologize, I asked her how a customer would know you had new secret prices right now and she just shrugged. She refused to give me her GMs name and told me to get out and have a nice night. I have her on video confirming this. My family will never be returning, sadly we would have given this place lots of money for years to come but their service is awful and the customers were treated like trash after employee mistakes and secret pricing by management. They literally stole money from us with a false pricing scheme leaving the customer no way of knowing this change had been made. Beware of this place! read more

Although the staff was friendly, that was the only positive thing I can say. Too hot - very uncomfortable. Food was disgusting. Free refills, but staff takes your glass and dips it in the ice bin. Who knows what germs are in that ice bin. USE A SCOOP or a CLEAN GLASS. read more

Just finished our 8 year old's birthday party. The service was amazing, the pizza was pretty good and the overall value and vibe was superb. The staff was very courteous, constantly coming over asking if we were doing ok or if we needed anything. We did the laser tag package and had a blast. Highly recommended. read more

I have been there twice and the place is clean , family friendly, and all around great. The staff is 100% great in every way. Living 265 miles away , my gkid and kids will make this a fun day every chance I come to visit them. Keep up the great service and can't wait to come again .See you soon. read more

We had our 5 year olds birthday party here in July. Jeni, the event coordinator was amazing. She was easy to communicate with and made sure everything was planned out exactly as we wanted. The staff was very polite and helpful during the party. The prices are exceptional for parties! We got a large party room right next to our 2 lanes. The pizza was great. The arcade was clean and all the games worked. The young girl working our party even gave the kids extra game cards that were left over. Definitely plan your party here! 10/10 was easy, fun, reasonably priced and clean!! read more

So all-in-all it was ok. Bowling was fine, staff was attentive friendly,& the food is insanely overpriced, as is everything else. Our 2-hour Friday night included 2 games of bowling and 1 round of laser tag. Including 3 beverages one pizza and a chicken sandwich. The bill was just shy of $200 for the 2 adults & 2 kids. You can't pay per person/per game, but either 90 min or 2 hours. Sure we had fun, but when the effing bill arrived I felt taken advantage of & mourned that a business wouldn't be more upfront of the costs. We won't be returning ever again & we will certainly alert everyone who mentions going there at how expensive & non-transparent their pricing is. It's not like we were told what prices were, nor were any costs advertised other than food prices. We figured the inflated food costs were how they made their money, but it was the obnoxiously high price for 4 people to bowl 2 games. Our hope is that the establishment goes out of business & the owner is jailed for crimes against the good-natured families looking to entertain their children. Obviously this place is owned by a scuzz-bucket. read more

In the past I've greatly enjoyed my time here. This recent visit really bummed me out. My partner and I joined another couple for a fun filled Saturday night of bowling. With my partner in grad school we were elated to take advantage of a ValuPak deal found by a friend ($10 ea. for shoes and bowling for 2 hours). After a brief wait (the place was slammin') our lane was finally ready. Our first few frames went off without a hitch - and then the pin setter upper machine went down for about a half an hour. Over the remainder of the night our lane continued to act up and the staff had to be approached in each instance of the problem. I was very disappointed that we not only missed about an hour of bowling we'd paid for but the staff were also non apologetic nor did they offer to switch us to vacant nearby lanes. To make the situation even more bothersome my partner got 3 strikes in a row and was initially awarded (we ran up to the desk and were told we could claim our turkey after our game was over), and was then denied by another staffer at the end of the night because of corporate rules (must pay full price for lane/shoes) that were not clearly stated on adverts/posters for bowling alley. As much as I've enjoyed this location in the past I will be bringing my friends and funds to another establishment moving forward. read more

If I could leave 0 stars, I would. This place is disgusting. Teenagers running it, didn't check ID, googling drinks because they don't know how to make them, food service workers... Don't even get me started there. Lanes were terrible, too many problems, told us they couldn't move us, wouldn't let us (party of five) get two lanes, and then put another party of 6 right next to us, so there were 11 of us on one shared lane. Just awful. I would never come back to this establishment in life. NEVER. read more

Wow, what a bummer. I hate to leave negative reviews, but this place is just severely depressing. I have lived in the neighborhood for many years and after it changed into sort of a music venue, I wanted to come check it out. I came on a Friday night when there was a band playing because I wanted to check out the music, and it's nothing more than disappointing. No one seems to be in charge, the place is seemingly run by high school kids. The bartender, although super nice and friendly, might have been 16yrs old. Place is full of high school kids, which is fine, but as far as this place being a "music venue", it's not even close. That being said, there is another show coming up in a couple of weeks that I might check out just to see if the experience is any different. I was really hoping this place was going to be a lot cooler than it is read more

10 of us descended upon Chipper's this weekend and we had a blast. The place is totally retro and the equipment is old. The pin setter did not want to cycle after a strike was thrown and we quickly learned where the reset button was. I happy to report no other problems were encountered. I admit I was a bit leery of the place after reading some of the reviews. The pricing must have changed as it was a flat fee per 1.5 hours or 2 hours. After we divided it up it was $13/pp + shoe rental. We were on two lanes and were able to bowl 2 games. The over achievers were able to bowl 2 full games while our timer timed out while we were in the 8th frame. We asked if they would let us finish our game and they did so. We did have to wait about 30 minutes to get two lanes together but we knew that we would have to wait a bit for that. They do have a Groupon, however, it is not valid Dec. 22 - Jan. 5. Chipper's also has a game room and laser tag (which I didn't get to experience), maybe next time. read more

Not the newest facility but it is a cool spot. For one, you can always find a suitable bowling ball which is major. Two, they have specials that help out on the price (bowling gets expensive). Three, the customer service is awesome. They are always real friendly and knowledgable. They also have a fun laser tag room and arcade. read more

My grandson and I bowled four games and he scored hid first 150! Lots of fun. The staff is attentive to customers' experience and very, very nice. The pizza was yummy! read more

I called a week in advance to make sure that I would have a lane available. I scheduled an event had 15 of my client showed up on a Monday night just for them to tell me it's reserved for bowling league that no one had showed up for yet The only thing they said on the phone. It's half off Mondays. The place is always dead. No need to schedule. The place is ran down. The live music is trash. Devante and Monica are both managers. Super unpolite knew nothing about customer satisfaction don't ever come here. I've taken three company trips. Here will no longer be using this ever again absolutely terrible. read more

Came here last night definitely was not for young kids. People were vaping and there were woman wearing VERY short shorts with just bras. The music was not remotely close to music aproprate for kids. More like a club than a bowling. read more

"we promised them we'd let them... surprise.. the laser tag is also broken. We asked for a refund for the $50 we paid and they were unable to honor that. Luckily for Chipper's they have incredibly nice people like Derek working for him who apologized repeatedly and compensated in games instead. It was very sweet, although most of the games are broken too. We left not nearly as mad as we could've been because of the team working and their honest embarrassment and sincere apologies. I get bad for them honestly. But definitely do not come here. read more

Old but awesome, they have modernized and they really treat there guests well. I highly recommend going here.

You ever leave a place and just HAVE to see the reviews to laugh? What you're reading is actually true, it DOES seem like this place is run by teenagers. The laser tag gun was broke, my nephew came out crying. The cheeseburger I ordered to go took 30 mins, I asked twice to have it checked on because I was worried it was just burning and YUP, totally burnt, I didn't notice until I got home... didn't even eat it. Definitely wouldn't recommend this place. (Oh yeah NO refund on the laser tag gun not working... they didn't even care). read more

Brought our young grandkids for a weekday of bowling. Very nice employees that appreciate your business. Ordered a pizza will low expectations but ended up with a very good pizza. They have the string pin system now which is fine for most people but I'm not a fan as a league bowler. I'm hearing that this is the wave of the future for recreational bowling and USBC is approving this system in August 2023 so it's here to stay due to lower cost and fewer breakdowns. read more

We just had the most amazing time at Chipper's! My partner and I are 30ish year olds, had not been there before and we were a bit apprehensive because of a few previous negative reviews, but we arrived on a Saturday night to an incredibly warm, welcoming, fun and awesome atmosphere. Every single one of the staff members were beyond friendly and helpful, especially Samantha, and it made the night that much more enjoyable. It exceeded our expectations so much, to the point where we were still talking about it on our way home to boulder. We can't wait to come back next time for another great evening! read more

This place place is HORRIFIC we waited for 45 minutes to bowl and got told that we needed a reservation; nothing about that online. Then we bought a $25 arcade card and it is annoying as hell in terms of the sound and the overall atmosphere, it sucks. We spent $2 (as a tip) and got nothing. They do give refunds though, that's why they get a single star review from me. read more

We used our Kids Bowl Free passes to get out of the hot sun (and out of the house too) for a few hours and have some fun! The inside of this place is pretty nice and has your normal bowling decor, my kids' kept insisting that we had been there before, I kept trying to tell them that we hadn't and that all bowling alleys look the same! The lanes were kept up and were really nice. They have the electronic bumpers, which is great for kids, it helps them to not get a gutter ball every single frame (it doesn't let them get one at all... hopefully they won't have some inflated ego and go around thinking they are world class bowlers now ;) ). The customer service people were super nice and didn't make us feel bad for having to try on a bunch of sizes of shoes to find the right size. It was a great experience, the kids love it and it was air conditioned, we will be back. read more

Last night we reserved a lane and when we got there they had a sign saying masks required. Which was correct given local mandates. But upon entering no employee wore a mask and not one patrol was wearing a mask. We canceled our lane upon seeing this obvious disregard for the community. They mentioned they had a deaf employee which we appreciate and understand, but we have deaf employees as well and they navigate the mask mandates with ease. Truly disappointing to see them use a disability as an excuse to operate outside the rules and safety precautions of their community. We will no longer support chipper lanes in any of or communities we live or work in. read more

This place is WAY too expensive for the quality and condition of the equipment. Shoes are $4.50 to rent and are falling apart. Half of the lanes are broken. We came on a Sunday and paid by the hour, and spent half of our time waiting for them to come fix things. Gutters falling apart, the guards didn't work half the time, and pinsetters were constantly knocking down pins. For the price, you'd expect them to keep the equipment up. Not worth what we paid!! read more

My family and I have visited this place twice in the last two months. Both times were a great experience. We were taken care of by Davonte, Justin and Jasmine. They were on top of all of our needs and sweet to the kids. The prices are very reasonable for bowling and food. We will be returning! read more

Perfectly nostalgic. Head there if you want to travel back in time a few decades. Keep moving if what you want is a 2022 black light dj'ed lounge experience with truffle fries and a bunch of other BS. One of the few left standing that provides a safe place for high schoolers to flirt it out or get an after school job. In fact, shout out to Davonte for keeping our sodas filled and generally making our night. This place holds up year after year. read more

We decided to have my sons party here with reservations! When we arrived 15 min early like reservation said they informed us we now have to wait for 45 minutes because they decided to let walk ins to take our lanes. Again we were on time at 12:15 for the 12:30 reservations. The lanes were broke. The fans are all not working and the bumpers didn't work for 80% of the time! Then when we were leaving we requested a discount and the MANAGER Brian told us we were impatient!?? We waited 45 minutes to bowl and then another 30 minutes for the second lane? They didn't even offer anything to us. Then when we wanted snacks they closed the kitchen because they said they were short staffed but .... There were four workers there!!!! Very disappointed and won't ever go back. The reason we went there my son worked there when he was in high school and it was his 40th! So disappointed with the staff and the RUDE comments we got!!!! This was bad management all around and it needs work. Bathroom no hot water to wash hands!!! read more

Bowling is always fun and our experience here was mostly very good! Made a reservation on-line which proved helpful and the prices were very reasonable. People helping us were all very nice. The only bummer was the overzealous mask policy. Had no one within 20 feet of us the entire time, yet we were told more than once to keep masks on at all times. Although we understand this policy isn't their fault, we won't be going back until we can choose to bowl without useless face coverings impeding our ability to breathe. read more

We had a blast at Chippers! The burgers were really good. We had 2 frames left on our 50 minute bowling game and they let us finish it out for free. When my grandsons didn't have enough points for a arcade prize Davonte gave them each a little toy. They were giving out a Turkey for 3 strikes and announced it on the loudspeaker when people won. So fun!!!The service was amazing and Davonte so attentive. Such a great time for the family! read more

No stuffy mixing & mingling in a dull banquet room and no awkward dancing with your co-workers. Our group was having so much fun with unlimited bowling, laser tag, karaoke and other games, we extended the party another 90 minutes! We had our company holiday party at Chipper's in Broomfield and reserved the whole place for our private event. Chipper's set up a casual dinner buffet and our guests were each given drink tickets to redeem at the bar. We paid for what they ordered at the end of the night, so no committing to top shelf drinks when everyone ordered draft beers! They have a full bar and staff, so no having work through expensive caterers with limited choices. We are definitely booking another event here! Shauna and Kati, the Chipper's event staff, were easy to work with and have the experience to set up and execute a great event. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!!! read more

The service is BAD not good the bowling ball kept getting stuck the Bumpers would not come up.

While Chipper's decor and equipment is a little dated, we really ever haven't a bad experience. There are always Groupons available which makes it more affordable for our large family. It's one of our favorite places to go. Our kids love the arcade and we always do a round of laser tag. The bowling is of course, always fun. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. It's a fun spot for families and friends. read more

I host a weekly bowling group here. The staff is very friendly, safe, and helpful, and professional. Wouldn't go any where else.

After filing a complaint with the staff, Sue came out and decided that insulting a customer was the way to go. We came here to enjoy bowling with a 5 year old. Your staff and management was rude to both the adults and the child. A simple apology would go a long way. Instead you degrade your customers and insult them. We will not be back. I honestly hope Sue is in the unemployment line tomorrow for her attitude. I never asked for anyone to be fired. But a simple apology goes a long way. You have ruined a great night with friends. I hope actual managment responds to me regarding your staff as Sue refused corporate information. read more
