They sold me the "all day" pass, which was $60 for 4 people and shoe rentals, including 2 kids. Seems a bit pricey, but okay. Our first lane had technical issues but they moved us a lane over which seemed to work fine. I've seen bowling alleys that have electronic bumpers, but this place still had the manual ones. After we started our third game, we were suddenly cut off without explanation. When I went up to inquire, I was told that the "all day" pass ends at 3pm and they were so generous as to have given us an extra hour before cutting us off without warning. We arrived at 2pm, and I can't understand why I was sold something they knew was supposed to end in an hour. That aside, I saw no signage and was not informed. The girl behind the desk claims the GM who sold this to me "must have told me." I walked away because I could feel the anger rising. My wife came back and argued that I hadn't been told and that it made no sense to end an all day pass at 3pm. We were given a coupon to redeem 2 free games (expires end of year), so at least they did something to try and make it right. Just be aware about the all day pass because it ain't all day! The pizza we had was fine. Better than expected for a bowling alley. I'll probably come back to redeem that coupon and play some billiards.

They have several bars for drinks and they even serve food. There is a VIP bowling section that could be rented out for special events. According to their menu they offer daily specials on bowling, drinks, food, and arcade game fun! I ordered a couple of margaritas to sip on while we bowled. The first was tasty, the second had too much sour mix for my preference. The arcade has lots of gaming options and it is simple to add funds to the game card which gets swiped to play. We personally did not order food this visit. We plan to go back! It was fun for the whole family!

There was a special for $11.50 unlimited bowling until they closed at midnight. Shoe rental included. We were put on lane one. The instructions on the screen doesn't match the buttons on the machine. It's outdated, honestly. We figured it out and got it set up and started bowling. We were hungry and decided to get food. We went to get food at 9:50pm ish. Jane was snack bar staff. She stated that she's was supposed to leave at 10pm. She added that the oven was off, so that took away pizza, cheesy dippers, and pretzels. 8 wings come with the classic wings and 5 tenders are in the regular chicken tenders order. I ended up getting Alley sampler which comes with 5 moz stick, 5 wings, 3 tenders, 9oz fries and 5 cheesy dippers. I also got beverage called Berried Alive Lemonade (alcoholic). The total for it all was $38. My food came around 10:15pm. It was hot and fresh. At 10:23pm, I heard final order announcement for food/drinks. At 10:34pm, my friends food arrived. He said it was hot. He was supposed to have garlic parm fries with his chicken tenders and they were regular. They tried to give it on the side but friend said it wasn't good. I checked on my drink at 10:36ish and was told that someone else was making it. My friend and I went back around 10:44pm to check on drinks. My friend got a blue Long Island and it was sitting there since the last time we check about 10 minutes ago but no one said anything. There was another drink sitting which was supposed to be mine but apparently someone else took my drink. What was there was a mai tai. The staff began making my drink around 10:46pm and she brought it to me about 2 minutes later. It was tasty. Overall, bowling itself was fine. We had no issues with the lane. The biggest downfall was the wait for food and drinks. There was only one staff in the kitchen. Another lady, who i assumed was a manager didn't help until later on. This bowling alley is definitely not the best in Greensboro. I would say possibly better than Triad Lanes but Spare Time is definitely the best. There is Bourbon Bowl downtown but it's expensive and I haven't been yet. This would be a good spot if you want a chill and not so busy atmosphere. They can get busy though. Personally, this wouldn't be my first choice. I had planned to drink and bowl and it took almost an entire hour just to get my drink. Then there was no time to get another one.

I was disappointed when I joined their mailing club to get a coupon and then the coupon said it could only be used if printed. The whole point of mobile/emailed coupons is convenience. I didn't have time to find a printer, so I ended up paying full price. It was $4 per person for each game and $4 for shoe rental. This seemed like a lot for a weekday afternoon, so we only decided to play one game. I was pleased to discover that they sold a socks, which I desperately needed. The bowling balls seemed older and heavily used. We were assigned to a lane right next to a large party, when there were numerous other lanes opened. In spite of all this, we made the best of it and had fun. When we were done with our game, we were ready to get out of there. The attendant was MIA, so we left our shoes and peaced out. Overall, it wasn't my favorite bowling experience.

Located on the south side of High Point, High Point Bowling Center has been around for as long as I…read morecan remember. Bill Cornell and partners assumed ownership from Michael Amos in 2010. I remember coming here in middle school in the mid-90s. There used to be cigarette vending machines at this bowling alley (not anymore). I ran into one of my schoolmates one night and I watched as she casually inserted money and bought a pack of cigarettes, even banging on the machine loudly to get the pack to fall out. Our sixth grade social studies teacher was in a lane not far from us. Funny how that's the one thing I remember most about this place growing up. 20-some-odd years later, I returned to this bowling alley to meet up with some old friends. We met last week over the holidays. We originally were going to meet at Tar Heel Lanes (the old Brunswick) on North Main, but it appeared to have closed permanently. This is still very much an old school bowling alley with some enhancements here and there. The building hasn't changed from the outside. Purple High Point University flags now fly outside the main entrance. There's a spacious parking lot. There's a pro shop just inside the entrance followed by the lane and shoe rental counter, a pool and arcade room, and a bar and grill. There are 32 lanes total. The arcade room has a few pool tables and games such The Fast and the Furious arcade racing game (one of the screens appears to be blown out), skee ball, a jukebox, dance rhythm games, claw games, and more. The bar and grill is called Sidelines Sports Grill. The sports bar is quite spacious with many big, bright, and crisp TVs playing sports. I like the giant Coors Light / Wake Forest football and men's basketball graphic on the wall. I bought a Pepsi at the bar here for $1.99 ($1.86 + $0.13 tax), served in a Styrofoam cup. According to my receipt, the sports bar is open until 2am on Friday and Saturday nights with a DJ and karaoke after 9:30pm. Games of bowling are a good deal. Shoe rentals were $3. We paid $2.75 per person per game. Rates vary depending on day and time. I took a picture of the pricing which you can find here: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/high-point-bowling-center-high-point?select=F9XSGxG-jLRfPZcki7iBBw#F9XSGxG-jLRfPZcki7iBBw. $2 games and $2 shoes all day Sunday. $1 games and $1 shoes all day Monday except between 6-9pm. Be sure to check out their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/High-Point-Bowling-Center/135155726510999) for even more specials. The communal bowling balls, rental shoes, and bowling lanes all seemed to be in adequate condition. Widescreen displays above our lane kept track of scoring. There was a keyboard stand in front of the bowling ball return which we could use to edit our names and scores if needed. Plenty of seating is available at each lane consisting of both four and six-top tables along with bar-height four-tops. The carpet reminds me of a 1990s kids party: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/high-point-bowling-center-high-point?select=F9XSGxG-jLRfPZcki7iBBw#B7V5S6b2nYnU6m10uS_x7Q. Service was A-OK. The lockers and restrooms are located on a far end of the bowling alley across from lane 32.
