A few weeks ago, we had a birthday party for my husband here. He randomly wanted a bowling party,…read moreand neither of us have been for a long time. We ended up having a fantastic time, and I was really happy with how the party went. The man who booked it for us, I think the owner, was really nice and helpful and in the booking process. I was extra happy when, after I picked a package and gave him a number of people, he allowed me to only pay for the food of the people not bowling despite the package being a set price for food, bowling, and shoes. I expected to pay a flat rate for all, despite my parents not wanting to bowl, so I thought it was kind that he didn't have me pay for them for bowling. The party went off without a hitch! Everyone got shoes and they put us in a couple lanes on the side of the alley so it was more private. They also dimmed the lights so we got to have midnight bowling. Our food package included pizza, wings, salad, and pop. I also added on some nachos and fries, and I was able to have a tab at the bar for pitchers of beer. Speaking of the beer, they had a wide selection of them available for pitchers, including many local and some hard cider! The food was set up right behind the lanes for us so we didn't even need to leave them to eat. I wouldn't expect a bowling alley to have really good food, but we all loved it and my family, often picky about wings, were raving about them. Overall, the experience was lots of fun, prices very reasonable, and friendly and helpful staff. Best part - the 90s playlist they had playing throughout, giving us the most fun nostalgia boost!! If you are looking to have a great time for a party, I recommend!!

When we left I noticed they had a full restaurant on the other side of the alley, which explains they extensive menu for a bowling alley...well beyond the typical pizza and wings.

I've always wanted to check it out, so it was a real treat! The alley itself is on the smaller side, but it's decorated very nicely and has an arcade attached. There's a bar too which is always a plus! We ate dinner there - pizza and various appetizers. The chicken finger pizza was incredible, and I snagged a chicken wing egg roll as well, which was just as decadent. It's not cheap to bowl here. There's definitely more affordable options, so I don't think I'd necessarily list the Spare Room as a top choice if I were to have a bowling get-together in the future. But it was really neat, and if you do get the chance to experience it, you should take it. All in all, The Spare Room is a nice addition to 500 Pearl and Downtown Buffalo as a whole. I don't bowl often, but when I do, I love for it to be a unique, yummy experience. Let's not talk about what I bowled though.

The Southtown Bowling lanes had a great setup with plenty of lanes, balls and rental shoes. We were up and running in 5 minutes. Their convenient bar helped quench our thirst. After a great bowling experience we decided to stick around and eat dinner. The staff were super friendly and the restaurant had a variety of tasty selections. I went with the Reuben and my girlfriend had a pizza. If you're looking for someplace to take a break from the winter blues it is highly recommended.

Bowling machines are often problematic and regularly need manual reset or fixing during play which is very annoying. It's great they invested in new floors last year, hope they will do the same with the machines too if that is possible. Often there's just the bartender so service can be slow if you are sitting at a table and not at the bar. You'll have to go ask for a refill of water when you need more water.

I stopped in after seeing a review online of their wings, and these are…read moresome damn good wings. Limited choice of sauces, but the normal hot sauce is top-tier, probably behind Bar-Bill and Nine-Eleven, but not far behind. The cook of the wing was perfect. Crispy outside, juicy inside. The sauce is not runny, the wings are not swimming in sauce, but they are completely coated and the sauce sticks to the wing. The online review I mentioned notes that the house hot sauce is homemade from scratch from a family recipe. Gotta like that. It was a nice warm spring day with the front "garage" doors open to let in the fresh air. They also feature golf simulation. I can see this being a great stop in the Summer. Service was quick. They might be the best wings in Hamburg.

First, they have some virtual golf simulators in the back so you can work on your golf game and hang with friends year round. The other thing that's different in here is that they have 2 bars.

We noticed that they partnered with Yankee Bbq for some food options. Good idea, we will try next time.
