I visited South Gate Roller Rink this evening around 9 PM with my mom and her two friends. I was…read morereally looking forward to showing them this local skating rink for the first time. When we walked in, the bouncer was sitting just inside the door. I had my ID ready expecting him to check it. We told him we were thinking about going into the rink but wanted to take a look first. He immediately got dismissive and said there was a cover charge. When I asked if we could just peek inside before deciding, he sarcastically said "would a night club just let you take a look if they were charging a cover?" Like that was not already obvious enough, he then went out of his way to mock the way we asked the question and told us he would have let us in if we had just asked differently. We were not trying to get in for free or cause any trouble. We were a group of women just looking to have a fun night out. To be spoken to that way, especially in front of my mom and her friends, was completely uncalled for. I will not be returning as long as this person is working the door.

Such a fun night at Southgate Roller Rink! The rink is attached to a bar and opens at 9 PM, which…read moremakes it perfect for a late-night hangout. Parking was easy -- plenty of spots both in the front and the back If you're just visiting and not skating, the fee is around $19. Since skating was only a little more, I figured why not try it -- especially since it was my first time We went to celebrate a coworker's birthday and it ended up being a great experience. After about 9:30 PM it got pretty packed, but the vibe was still awesome. Everyone was friendly, doing their own thing, and very respectful. I held onto the railing most of the time and definitely fell a couple of times , but people gave space and were super encouraging Overall, this is a fun spot even for beginners. Good energy, great crowd, lots of laughs -- would totally go again!

We decided to come here and while he was doing his tournament we would bowl and maybe skate and play some billiards. However, for two lanes, the total for 7 people it cost us $350 in total to bowl. What a total rip off! My son didn't even get matching shoes, the balls provided had many chips, and one of our consoles was not even working properly! When we told them of the problem they were not helpful at all. We just dealt with it. The skating rink was also very smelly and smelled like feet and the billiards tables were poorly kept as well as the sticks provided. For the price we paid the bowling wasn't even exciting as it wasn't even cosmic bowling. I can't believe people actually go here! We will not be coming back here to bowl, skate or play billiards!

My kids have been coming here for years, long before the new ownership. I hear they're doing some…read morerenovations, which are long overdue. Very good family friendly spot and they do what they can with the space they have. The only downside is the consistent lack of food/snacks/games. 1/3 or or more of the very few games they have are ALWAYS out of order. The food is not always good and very often sold out as they don't make much during sessions -they mostly reserve the pizza just for the rooms. The candy machines are awful - all the decent stuff is regularly empty and the full sided candy they offer is about 3-4x the size price (i.e., the really small bag of lays is $3). Plus I once bought a candy bar there for my kid and the chocolate looked and tasted old, which means their stock rarely moves. Also, would be great if they offered some adult beverages on tap. FYI, it's never a "true" experience here unless u catch a glimpse of the older white gentlemen casually solo out dancing everyone on the rink. I think I will nickname him "White Lightning".

This is a seasonal pop up ice skating rink in the heart of Port Angeles - typically open from mid…read moreNovember to early January. It also has fun Christmas decorations to enjoy, with lit up ornaments so huge you can walk around in them! They rent ice skates on site if you don't have any and they also have a "Snack Shack". The village is run by local volunteers which I thought was really cool - the ice rink was full of kids and families having such a great time - Their website even has an ice rink webcam haha! It's free to enter in general but there's a charge for the skating. Prices are very reasonable and include the skate rental - and a ticket lasts you all day with in and out privileges. There's also a discount if you have your own skates. The volunteers provide "safety monitors" on the ice and there are benches/bleachers on the sidelines for family/audience viewing. We didn't skate but had fun watching briefly and walking around all the decorations. Parking seems to be all street parking in the surrounding area with time limits so be sure to read the signs. There are lots of cute shops and restaurants in the surrounding area so it makes for a fun outing!

I have been taking my son every season since I moved here, but I'm already quite tired of the…read moreinconsistent staff attitudes. Once I buy the season pass, why do they still make me get a wristband and wait in a long line? Some staff told me to bypass the line, others said I still needed the wristband, and some even said I had to stand in the same line just to get the wristband. Also, like today--when my party walked in, one customer was trying to find the ticket prices, and we already had our passes ready and hanging around our necks. Another staff member was sitting behind the check-in staff. Why couldn't he help us get the wristbands and ask for our shoe sizes? Isn't that how you excel at your job--by noticing customer needs and stepping in, rather than staying idle and only doing the tasks assigned to you? That way, the line would move much faster and everything would run more smoothly. Honestly, it feels like they're just enjoying the free ice-skating perks instead of focusing on customer service.

I went back to change my size, and I noticed a bunch of mismatched skates just lying haphazardly throughout the skates rental area.

If you're looking for fancy/good food options/tons of attentive staff/skating aids, then this might not be your place.
