The owner was incredibly personable. He was praying for people, greeting everyone, and genuinely listening to feedback. You don't see that everywhere, and it added such a warm, community feel to the experience. The bowling lanes were clean and operated smoothly the entire time. And we're definitely coming back for karaoke -- the DJ was a lot of fun and kept the energy high. Overall, Strikes & Bites is a whole vibe. I'll be back!

Whoopsie no. 1: You have to write the scores yourself on the sheet they give you. For goodness sake, South Holland, This is the present, not the past! Most bowling alleys I know have electronic scoring, you know! Whoopsie no. 2: All they have is 8 lanes to bowl on even though I have blank knowledge about the lane conditions. Most bowling alleys I know have a lot more lanes than this lackluster alley. Whoopsie no. 3: There used to be an arcade, but the bad, irking news about it is that the arcade has gone to heck now and the games are replaced with lockers. That's a truckload of throw-up for a bowling alley without games. And that's all the huge whoopsies I have to say about South Holland Bowling Lanes. Don't even come here! These guys just as worse as Lakewood Bowl. So in summary, South Holland Bowling Lanes & Lakewood Bowl are the 2 inner circles of heck and the just desserts you don't wanna be encountered with. Stay away!

There is also a section for axe throwing, laser tag, an arcade, cyber sport and a full bar. When we arrived, the employees were pleasant and helped us get the sizing right for our bowling shoes. There was a nice woman who came over to assist us in getting our game started. I'm so glad she recognized that we had no clue what we were doing. She also checked on us periodically and the kids can't wait to return. We will probably have food next time and might play some games.

She said with gift cards the order had to be placed with her. Ok great....she didn't tell us that the bar automatically charges bar gratuity! I noticed that additional almost $6 charge (on top of the tip) and questioned it. Her comment was it's automatic at the bar. I then said but I had to come to the bar in order for the gift card to be used. I'm then told there's a kiosk by the kitchen that could be used too!

I have heard of Pinstripes but haven't had a chance to visit until we had our workplace holiday…read moreparty here. I was skeptical but honestly, because of Pinstripes, this may have been the best work party I've been to. I didn't see a lot of the place because I didn't visit the bar upstairs, and we were downstairs for our meeting-party. The meeting room is quite large and accommodated our group of 50 or so people easily. The food was really good too; we had some chicken, Mac and cheese, ribs, and more. The sliders weren't my favorite because they were really pink inside, so I skipped that. The other stuff I had was quite delicious. But the best part was the games. I mean I'm a board game enthusiast but have never played bocce and now I am wondering why not. It was so much fun. I mean I'm ready to buy a lawn set, or join a bocce league or whatever. The rules are simple but it's fun. They also have a really gorgeous patio area that another group was apparently going to be using, and that space is along the riverfront. I would be super glad if we came back to Pinstripes, to the extent that I'm going to make sure our VP knows how much we enjoyed it. There's no dedicated parking so you'll need to take a taxi or find a spot in a nearby lot. Spothero was great for that, since my spot was cheaper than the validated parking that Pinstripes offers.

This was my first time at Twisted Pin, and I was very impressed. The prices are pretty high but as…read morea non-bowler, I am not sure how they rank compared to other places. On the other hand, this place is also a little more high end compared to your old fashion bowling/dive bar places. The location was very easy to find. We used Google Navigation and it lead us directly to the place. If you miss the entrance, it might be a little annoying to backtrack but no big issues. Parking was no issues and it is very big compared to the size of the building. We showed up on a busy Wednesday where it is penny pins so you only pay a penny per pin you knock down. Essentially...the worst you are, the cheaper your game will be. Inside the building is very nice and clean. There are two entrances..one is a "restaurant" and the other is the decent sized arcade and bowling. There is a self serving beer tap. And they do serve food. They do a little star less due to the prices of the food as well. It is better than your traditional bar/bowling food but it is a little more expensive. Also, I do enjoy the service of the self serving beer tap. They had a lot of selections of beer, 1-2 seltzers, 1 cider and ~5 wine selection. Also, they do have a "limit" of ~32 oz where the bartender can allow you or less depending on how you act. I do appreciate that so while you can drink feely, no one is getting drunk. I think we were paying ~.60 cents an oz and it does tell you how much your drink will cost as you are pouring. Also, they do have a small water station will is greatly appreciated. The arcade is decently sized. They do have a lot of selections of games but it is not a place where I would go just for the arcade. The size is good for after bowling or while you are waiting for your lane. Overall, I am very impressed with this location. Food, self serving beer tap, and arcades... I am fan of Twisted Pins and I would be back in the future.

The team working that day went out of their way to make sure we were all set and comfortable before we even hit the lanes. What really stood out was how clearly everything was explained -- super organized, no confusion, and they made the whole process feel easy. Even when we had a couple of questions about our reservation, they handled everything with patience and a genuinely positive attitude. The atmosphere was energetic in the best way, and the lanes were in great shape. It's the kind of place where you can just relax, have fun, and not stress about the details because the staff keeps everything running smoothly. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to. They turned what could've been a complicated visit into a great time, and that's something I really appreciate.

Communication prevents confusion. The bartender could have and should have communicated that to everyone there, instead of creating a negative atmosphere where people who spent their money feel rushed to down drinks and finish a pool game. We would have never stayed in there. SIMPLE. Not only did she make the drinks wrong, and was asked to correct them, she made a unnecessary mess of the situation with her attitude and story about how she couldn't remake drinks because of the machine counter and what time it was girl goodnight. Just Give me money back for All these drinks, Unopened beer and an unplayed game of pool. It bothers me when people assume money is the issue when you complain - when it's really about SERVICE. We paid for everything we asked for. She had an opportunity to correct her mistakes, be sensible about time and let people know she was closing, but she didn't - instead, had police officers present, with even worse energy, looking for somebody to have them fcuked up. Leaving me and my crew feeling uneasy about why we even went in.
