Recently visited Fowling Warehouse for a work team building event. I had no idea what to expect…read more Parking was a bit of a mystery. There was a sign in front of the business pointing you to turn down a steer for parking; next block there is a huge parking lot but no signs saying you can park there for fowling, BUT, it was abundantly marked that cars will be towed. Since there was nothing else around, I assumed it was the right place and parked. Of course I briskly walked to fowling to inquire if I was in the correct space. I was, whew. Those towers can really work fast. Fowling is in a warehouse with other businesses, hence the name. It is huge. We were on lane 32, I believe so there's at least 32 lanes. There is also a corn hole area. There is a bar where they have a decent variety of adult beverages. I went with 3 Floyd's warpig, a hazy ipa. It was really good. The important aspect of fowling is not eating or drinking there, but to interact with the people your with. Sure you can win a game, but the fun is the game itself and the camaraderie with a drink. Our leader looked up the rules prior and explained them. You take turns throwing a football at bowling pins, one set of pins on each end of the lane. There are two lines to throw from, our group guys threw from back and women from front. I watched a group next to us, both men and women threw from front line, it didn't appear to give anyone an advantage. I don't know if the pizza place is part of fowling or a separate business, but we got pizza from Bonk Pizza. It was ok, it was enough to say we were fed. I'm glad I did this and would go again.

Fowling (noun) fowl-ing: The hunting or trapping of wildfowl…read more Google "fowling definition" and this is what you'll find. Google simply "fowling" and you learn about this odd sport where you combine football and bowling. Just now. Right NOW as I'm writing this, the word fowling finally made (sort of) sense. Football + bowling = fowling. Now I'm even pronouncing the word different with a long "o" sound versus the "ou" diphthong. I had to Google that, too, but once I saw diphthong, I knew it was going in my review. You're welcome for the 5th grade grammar lesson. Please redeem your Pizza Hut personal pan pizza for your hard work. Ok, fowling. It has nothing to do with trapping birds or teaching birds of prey to land on your arm (that's falconry). Nope, it's a game you play with friends and beer. The setup is more like cornhole, but you use bowling pins and throw, that's right, a football. Someone was clearly drunk when this game was invented. But what a great way to bring a group of people together! The Fowling Warehouse specializes in the game of fowling, but has several other activities to enjoy as a group: pool, darts, a few arcade games and a golf simulator. I may go back just for the golf simulator. This is the real deal, a full Trackman set up. It was pretty sweet. Those simulators can be a little intimidating at the PGA Superstore, but it's tucked away in the corner at the Fowling Warehouse where you can shank balls and not feel like a fool. Mostly. There are also two bars and you can order pizza and boneless wings. The bar has a nice selection of beers on tap. They use the magnet cup system where the cup fills from the bottom. My favorite thing was seeing multiple signs on the bar that warn you that if you push the bottom of the cup, you will get wet! And I smiled devilishly thinking about curious people testing their luck with the cups and losing every time. For me, I enjoyed a couple glasses of this blood orange IPA. Delicious and refreshing. The Fowling Warehouse isn't exactly my jam, but I think it's the kind of place that is perfect for a certain crowd who enjoys games and likes a new challenge. And they can handle a large party! If you are looking to try a new sport that feels like it was invented by someone who lost a bet, this place is for you! I kid, but the Warehouse is nice and clean and large! The service was good and everyone seemed to have a great time. Seems like a pretty good spot for your next party if games are your thing!

Our team recently had a team building night out at Pins Mechanical for duck pin bowling. It's…read moreregular bowling (no special shoes required) but on a smaller scale. The pins are on strings and the balls are hand sized. We had two lanes and a dedicated server to come take food and drink orders. She was speedy and very attentive. I had the mocktails and they were tasty but just a bit too sweet. The bartender was able to pour over ice and top with soda water which helped. Along with bowling they have pinball, jenga, cornhole, and other yard games. It really started picking up and getting busy around 7:30-8pm.

I've heard about duckpin bowling, but had never gone. I was…read moreinvited to an event here this afternoon. I was excited to check it. The experience starts as soon as you board an elevator that is probably close to 100 years old. When you step out to the venue, it's like you are in the 1930s. Everything here I was told is from original alleys that were rescued. The staff and service were great. Everyone was friendly and super knowledgeable. The bowling took some time to get used to. The staff was helpful for the kids and let them know they could bowl from further down the lane. Since all of the lanes are original, there are a few issues. One lanes ball return system stopped working while there. Another likes to shoot balls onto the lane. The lane I was on, 2, had a pin that you would knock down but when it reset for the second or third attempt, every time it was back. Overall it was still a fun time. We had pizza, wings and cookies. The pizza was pretty good, nothing fancy. The wings had some spice to them and had the sauce got everywhere with its color. The cookie I had was one of the best I've had. Better than Crumbl. Fun and unique place for an event.

All of the throwback decor & look of the place is super cute but it is very dusty inside. The food was a 2/10. It's a very straight to the point menu but I still wanted to order basic items that you typically can't mess up- I got wings & onion rings. The wings come in 10 & 20 count (I got 10 dry rub) the flavor was ONLY on the outside of the wings once you bit in, you tasted straight unseasoned chicken which is enough to make you nauseous. The onion rings were pretty good though! Perfectly seasoned & breaded. I'd have to go on a limb and say I won't be returning. Sidebar: pinheads has a full bar & restaurant and now has quite a few duckpin lanes- go there instead!!!

Too many crane games which are always at full price. Tried playing a few games but am still learning how to play and win. My go-to is now the Wizard of Oz because I can play for a long time on the bonus game (4 pays). Arcade card costs $1. I filled my card with $20 plus a $5 bonus. Wednesday is half price arcade games, which is the only deal I believe they offer. Lots of exchange options but what would I find useful. We needed help operating the card exchange machines. I wish they offered more deals or coupons.

A Strike for Fun--and the Pizza!…read more If you're looking for a place where good times roll as smoothly as a perfect strike, Bowl 32 absolutely delivers. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is upbeat, welcoming, and perfect for hanging out with friends or family. The lanes are clean and well-kept, the atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and there's that classic bowling-alley energy that makes every frame feel exciting--whether you're a pro or just there for laughs. And then there's the pizza. Wow. It's the kind of pizza you don't expect to be that good at a bowling alley--hot, cheesy, flavorful, and exactly what you crave between turns. One slice quickly turns into "okay, just one more," and before you know it, the whole table's asking for another pie. Great bowling, great food, and great memories--Bowl 32 is the kind of place that makes you want to come back again and again. Total strike across the board!

Lol They were only closed for another 30 minutes so I went to the Mexican restaurant next door for a drink then came back to Tappers. Tappers is free - except for their pinball. Not a problem. They just ask that you buy a drink for cover charge. They had a great selection of draft beers, bottles, cocktails, and more. Staff apologized that we came by earlier when they were closed, but it was no problem. Great staff, great selection of machines, NBA jam, n64, and some new machines too. Overall awesome experience. Will be back!

Another thing I extremely appreciate is that they have wipe stations throughout, so you can clean off the games if you'd like. Ps-- Harry Potter playing on the screens that day was a major bonus.

It's a solid spot for a group hang or a birthday party, and I'd go back again for another casual night out.

All staff we encountered were kind, and helpful (I got lost looking for my family!). They have a couple bars located inside, I believe one on each side. I actually learned about a new to me canned spritzer I had never heard of or seen before. Food orders are placed via kiosk, and they surprisingly had way more than the typical concession stand options. I mean, a frisco melt at the bowling alley? Sign me up, I suppose! My brother ordered it, and I had a bite or two. Not too bad. Don't leave without stopping by the arcade!!

I had to pay for shoes and for 5 kids it came out to a little over $21. I have not been here since April, and I noticed they renovated the seats. Instead of chairs and tables with chairs that swivel, they now have couches and cushioned stool chairs. It looks more modern, but it does make the bowling area more compact. They were comfortable. My kids enjoyed playing, they get competitive so it was fun to watch them really focus and trying hard.

Walked in and immediately got the vibes hmm we're probably not welcome here mind you it's 4 of us and one of us were white. From the cop to the workers everyone was acting weird. I had some water in my purse it was Saratoga so I can see how someone unfamiliar with the brand would think it's something else he told me I can't drink outside drinks in the establishment I said it's just water and tried to show him he said again no outside beverages...I continued to drink it because it's WATER you can't tell me not to drink water. I spent over $20 on their version of a touch tunes music system and they kept turning all my songs down. TF is that about? All the music was edited and it's 2 in the morning with no music playing at a 24 hour bowling alley. The final straw was one of the workers coming over and telling one of my friends "the orange ball was for women and children only"...MIND YOU none of us ever grabbed this ball to bring to our lane it was already there! Literally was one thing after the other my friend who drove said let's go we didn't even play our entire hour.
