First, I want to say I was so excited for this! I was excited to have a nice place in town with some fun food and brews. But a complete disappointment. Let me explain.
The setup is a little weird, especially the bar area. No big. The menu is small and there are only 12 lanes for bowling. Okay, I can deal with that. My husband and I went with two friends to see this new place. They have a nice seating area outdoors completely redone very nicely with a fire pit, pergola, and some yard games (some that were already breaking) but not too much to do. We go inside and and sit at one of the tables above the alley. We're chatting and looking over the menu. I get some beers at the bars so let me start here. The "bartender" was so frantic and uneasy....and it was literally only me ordering a draft beer and a bushe can. She didn't know how to open a tab (she told me she didn't know how to do it, so each time, my card had to be ran- you lose points there and the establishment will loose more business and money). It was very uneasy watching her and I felt so bad she was so nervous.
We decide to bowl and were told to go to a lane (note- we were there a total time between 4pm and 730pm) and I noticed there are kids EVERYWHERE. Like two birthday parties going on, and everything. I expected it to be not so ChuckyCheese and be more adult grown up. Blah. We ordered food (nachos with pulled pork, and two pizzas, the Hawaiian and Deluxe). We notice that ALL (with the exception of ONE waitress and the barista) are all under the age of 18. And all carbon copies of the same meh looking blonde curly haired girl from your local high school with toooo much makeup on. There were 7 or 8 of them working when we went and they obviously don't know anything about customer service....between their attitudes, and no service, explains enough. See, the thing is when all your "waitresses" are under 18, they can't handle or bring you any alcohol. And you know what that means? You have to walk to the bar each time...for every beer or every pitcher. And yep, the barista has to run your card each time too.
Anywho, they brought the food out and it was...okay. Just bowling alley food. Crappy food if found somewhere else. Everything out of a can or bag. One of the pizzas was barley done. Just meh. Wasn't expecting gourmet, but damn, at least try. The pulled pork was really just okay. I really wanted to like this food, I just didn't. Especially because their motto is "bowl, brews, and food" or whatever....all the beer they have is a draft bud light or Coors (that's it! Nothing you can't find at the gas station!) and their food, a bit lower than mediocre.
Bowling was the best part about it...until you realize how the lanes are set up and the couches corresponding to them, it doesn't make any sense. First, the couches they chose for this place are TERRIBLE. There is a reason why all bowling alleys have those hard plastic chairs- they're durable. These guys chose very cheap ikea fake pleather two to three seater couches for each lane and in between them a cheap fake wood table. If your one has more than two people bowling, well one or two people have to continuously stand. And it awkward being seating across from another couple that you don't even know.
It was just facepalm after facepalm with this place. Because of the many reasons above I will not be bake but especially because of the terrible service. No check ins, no "can I get you anything's (I had to go up to the main table next to the kitchen three times and ask for napkins and silverware), just awful. The girls weren't even busy, they were just standing their on their phones! That's what happens when you hire all 15 year olds.
