We were hesitant after reading some of the reviews but really didn't have another option and much to our delight this place was great! Counter staff was friendly and quick, place was well lit, clean restrooms and working equipment. We could not have asked for better. Don't hesitate! Go have fun and enjoy bowling! read more

Love it! Recently moved to the area from Northeast NC. Prices for bowling are less than half what we would pay in Chesapeake, VA (just like back in the day on an AF base). Service was quick and great. Both weekends we went, there were plenty of open lanes. We will be going back! read more

This is a nice little place to have fun, they have an arcade and bowling, they have a grill inside I have not eaten here. It looks like they had a carousel at one time it was not working when we were there but it looks fun. They have shoe rental and the price is nice. read more

The old guy at the front desk is rude and racist towards people whose skin color is not white. we had to wait over an hour for a lane and we were not allowed to sit down on the extra tables. They had multiple lanes open, we were the only ones that had to wait for a lane. Cash only and rude customers service read more

Walked in asking for two lanes and the staff was very short and stated 10 people minimum to play even though our party had 8. I asked again and they pointed to their paper and didn't say another word. To say the least we walked out. Will not go there again. read more

Their ancient bowling ball return system kept getting stuck for our 2 lanes. After asking for help, they had the gall to blame it on us, saying we had bowled too many balls at that lane, although it was getting stuck with only 2 bowling balls. After waiting 30+ minutes for them to fix the lane, they still wanted to charge us full price for the game. Hope they spend a little bit of money to fix up their lanes read more

Very bad customer service. This jon was not worth. It's cheap and fun half the time but the other half were dealing with ridiculousness

What a dump. Closes at 9:00pm?!?! No debit or credit cards?!?! Understaffed and dirty. Glad I was only visiting and don't have to bowl here regularly. read more

Great place but- no oil no lanes until evening and kids on both sides of us. I understand that the oil might be a danger for the kids who don't know to stay behind the floul line. If they would just reserve one section for those of us who bowl it would be greatly appreciated. The place is beautiful, the food is good and the people are friendly. read more

I haven't been bowling in a while, and had forgotten how much fun it can be. So when my daughter suggested midnight bowling at Pin Station for my Bday, I said I was all in. Located in Newton, less than 30 minutes from my house, Pin Station is not one of the newer or fancier bowling alleys, but its kept clean, the price are reasonable and security doesn't let anyone get out of line. From 11pm-1am the light go down, the neon and disco light spin and music roars from the loud speakers and every one has a good time. They have a concessions stand with decent food and beer prices as well. My daughter and I shared a couple of pitchers of beer and some mozzarella sticks. Good for all age groups, my daughter and were bowling next to a family of 5. Neither of us are great bowlers, but we had a good time and some great father daughter time. Thanks, Laura for a great night. read more

I have been to Pin Station for years, although not on a regular basis. My children had birthday parties there and went to other friends' parties. I went today with my family and was so disappointed that they won't allow the gutter guards up except for children 8 and under. I am 68 years old and needed to use the gutter guards as my first game I bowled a whopping 13. My son asked about my being able to use them since I am a senior citizen. They did allow them for about 2 frames, but then they stopped. When he asked about it, he was told someone told the person to stop allowing the guards. TERRIBLE!!! I will not spend my money to go back unless they allow gutter guards for children and senior citizens. The food we got was tasty, but having to use the ATM to get cash instead of taking a card is ridiculous!! I hope management will look into these issues and make a change, especially the gutter guards. It would have been an enjoyable afternoon if I could have actually knocked some pins down, but throwing a gutter ball every time is definitely not a fun time. read more

This is a large and nicely maintained bowling alley, that also has several billiard tables and an arcade (and also a carrousel!). This was my first time visiting, and I only played billiards. The tables were in decent shape, but they were not brushed. There was a lot of felt "lint" built up under the rail edges. The chalk provided was almost spent, and their bridge was "broken." I wanted to ask in what year it got broken, and why they hadn't replaced it! Also, one of the lightbulbs in the overhead was missing, but since the other tables weren't being used, I moved a bulb from another fixture into this one. Again, in what year did the bulb get removed, and not replaced? LOL This place is O-K. It beats driving hours to a real billiards hall, but if any better options present, I would not return. read more

They wanted to move us after we had started a game next to a bunch of school kids.

Nice, clean place and always lanes available. Only takes cash! There is an ATM by the door but will cost you some $$. Lanes are clean, crowds are good. Nice place to bowl a few games. read more

This place used to be a great bowling alley. Went there this past weekend. They only take cash and the ATM charges a fee and takes about 10mins to withdraw cash. The lanes are still good however there is a lack of options when it comes to bowling balls. Tons of balls over 12, none 7 and below, and the 8-10 range were scarce. This mind you was the case with only 20 people blowing in the entire place. They have taken over the putt-putt place as well. When they didn't give us a score card and then we asked for a score card they said they had already given us one and they wouldn't give us another one. We got through 3 holes and it started to rain, they refused to give us a rain check or refund our cash. Granted we should have had some foresight with the weather on our parts but come on... no rain check??!! We basically walked out and walked back in. They also got angry when we asked for a rain check. So if you want to go bowling and can handle poor customer service and limited ball selection this place is an option. read more
