Was very busy for a Monday night at 6pm. My group was the last to get a lane before a wait for a…read morelane started. The lanes were average, a little close together if anything. The bowling kiosk had a lot of games on it to change up the bowling experience. The venue has a restaurant and a full bar. The bartender wasn't the nicest. My friend tried to get her attention that the water ran out and she didn't give him the time of day. I ordered a beer during happy hour but didn't get the 1$ off for the happy hour. When our groups time was up, the employees were very fast in turning over the lane for the next group. Overall, mixed experience but would probably come back.

Schwoegler Park Towne Lanes has been a good spot for casual and new-comer bowlers like myself. The…read morevenue is quite large and you can usually always find open lanes even on Friday and Saturday nights. The rentals for shoes and lanes are very affordable and you have the flexibility to rent per game or by hour(s). My party and I went and did a 2 hour rental which included shoes for $14 a person. Overall, the atmosphere was casual and energetic. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. The lights and ambiance were nice in the evening as the glow lights are turned on. Will definitely return with friends.

Paper Source consistently delivers very creative and fun cards for any special occasion. The card…read moreselection is very good with cards ranging from celebrating birthdays to lifetime milestones. I do enjoy the attention to detail that is shown with each card. The paper source store on hilldale is very clean and well-organized. The price is a bit on the higher side ($6-$10), but the uniqueness and attention to detail make it worth in my opinion. Overall, would recommend for anyone who is looking to get a card for a special person.

You feel me? Yeah. Retail crack. Are you super into bullet journaling? THIS IS THE SPOT!! They have washi tape, washi stickers, hand-printed mulberry sheets, journals, planners, rubber stamps, clear stamps, greeting cards, party supplies, stationary areas sorted by theme, perfect gifts for paper and sticker misers of ALL ages, and a clearance section that's somehow just as pretty as the rest of the store. I think I was running a fever by the time we left--everything was just so darn CUTE! They even have a counter-height table for teaching new skills--and if I'm not mistaken, you can have PARTIES in there! Just imagine... a card-making party, where you invite ALL of the friends you'd send cards to! I love, love, LOVE this store. My boyfriend? Not so much. Leave the non-crafty people at home. But definitely check it out for yourself!

Truly everywhere you look there is something wonderful and unique. Party supplies, home goods, gifts, cards, candies, beauty and self care items and lots more. Throughout the day of their grand opening celebration they had a craft event, hot chocolate bar, and wine tasting. We stopped by for the wine tasting and also entered a raffle. The staff were so friendly and helpful. They had some really cool balloon displays throughout the store and have plans for more in-store options and ways to help you have them at your own party. Let's make this shop so successful that they open a Milwaukee location! ;) In the meantime, I can order from their website.

I purchased a few items because of so many super cute options (it was so hard to choose!) and with…read morethe help of a yelp coupon, I couldn't help but splurge a little bit. The first couple projects we completed were the string art kits. The curbside pickup was seamless and the staff was super friendly! I got home to find the wrong color board but the issue was addressed promptly and Revel went above and beyond to make sure their customers were happy! Picking up a new board couldn't have been easier. Also, when I was at the end of my project and about 15 nails short, they were gracious enough to mail them out to me so I didn't have to drive from Milwaukee to Madison. The customer service here is phenomenal and really made me feel like they cared about their customers. I will be the first to say that I'm not a crafty person but the "Love" design was one I was willing to put forth the effort for and I'm so glad I did. Hammering all those little nails took a little more time than I expected and I'm glad this was a project for home so I could work on it as time allowed. Our next project is the etched coasters and can't wait to see how those turn out. I look forward to being able to visit Revel during "normal" times and take advantage of their workshops and events. Thank you Revel for the at-home crafting experience and thanks to Yelp for the sweet savings! :)

Each person could choose their own crafts and get the supplies they'd like. They have several different thinks to choose from including a decorative tray, a beer carrier, a picture, glitter art, jewelry, etc. They also have a glitter and sequin bar, a yarn bar, and construction paper area to choose your decorations from. They have a bar area to order drinks or snacks from. You are also able to bring your own food in to snack on. There are instructors there to help you if you want any assistance with any craft. Overall, it was such a fun experience! Great for a girls night or for anyone who likes to craft and socialize. I would highly recommend booking an event at Revel!! :)

Don't expect them to cook it on site, they get everything ready and bring it to the event. They even arranged to get me table linens that I could pick up beforehand, so I could make the tables look nice. The set up person was quick and efficient. He did a great job of making sure everyone had enough food to eat before he started to tear down. He even helped with clearing tables and making sure that the trash was taken care of, that was above and beyond what I expected to him to do. The price was what I had expected it to be and is very competitive with other caterers in the area. The thing that I think sets TJ's apart from other caterers is the quality/flavor of the food along with great communication and service.

Anyone can actually buy items from the store or from their website or place orders if they are interested in something special for spooky season.
