Happy hour deals are good. $5 beer and some amazing food choices. The burger was flipping fantastic. Like seriously so good. The chicken strips were some of the best I've had. We also ordered the pretzel and it was devoured. Hence no photo. Great service, atmosphere, and a place to hang and play pool, table tennis, or even some pinball. Safe place for families too.

If I could transplant this place into my town, I would steal it in a heartbeat…read more There is everything in this place - EVERY thing - you have the main large bar area as you enter, a dance floor with small stage in the back, a small pool room (2 tables) on the right and then past that another room with band stage and dance floor. And they do goth nights on Sundays (weee!). The cue sticks are crap, but who cares? It's a fun space to roam around and make your own party. Grab some friends and go have some fun - you could seriously lose a few hours here and in all the good ways.

They have an amazing outdoor patio, a pool table, and their front bar is perfect for a quick drink and a chat about the days activities. My wife and I stayed here for about two+ hours and just soaked in the local conversations. Drinks here will set you back about $5 each, which is a steal in today's rough economy. I've only been to Santa Cruz once, but I feel like this will be my go-to spot every time I'm in the area.

Then when our lane was ready a woman working there tells us they have a height limit to use the bumpers and the 9 and 11 year olds were too tall. They threw gutter balls for 4/10 rounds before being so discouraged they decided to leave. I complained about their policy as we left and the woman simply shrugged rather than offering me any kind of compensation for the six rounds we didn't bowl because of their dumb policy. I'd be surprised if I will ever get those kids into a bowling alley again. Terrible experience. Response to your comment: that is the same stupid response that you gave to the last person who made this complaint and probably the one before that. Do you just copy-paste? Get multiple complaints about the same stupid policy, change the policy. Don't tell your customers to complain to the manager.
