We came here for the first time with family from out of town. There were 8 of us we rented 2 lanes…read more31 and 32 for the hour we payed for we got to play 30 mins of play. We could not even play a fool round. We continued to have issues with both lanes and all they would say we are working on them. 30 min we were down and when we asked to get that time back I was told no. I am not one to complain about 10 min but come on we paid to play for an hour we should have gotten an hour or at least compensated for the down time. I have never been so embarrassed with family after I was told this place was great. The management need to understand customer service.

Game prices can get expensive if you're just swiping and not watching. They use digital everything. Cashless payment and no tickets all on a card. I didn't play any virtual games but looked like golf simulator, bowling alley and others. It is fun and something for everyone. This is not the kind of place you drop a kid off with 20 bucks, it would be a boring night.

This place seems abandoned and understaffed. We chose to book the "VIP" for my daughter's birthday…read more It was $200 for two hours. The fee wouldn't have been bad but the VIP didn't have any extra perks we couldn't have gotten at the regular lane. The host couldn't see my reservation in the system. We even showed him the receipt from our email. The bartender was nice and was the only person (besides the janitor) who came off like she actually worked there. The building has lots of fun looking accommodations but they aren't operating to their potential. The arcade games were very gimmicky feeling. There were strings on the bowling pins. So much can be done to improve the customer experience. They probably just need someone corporate to visit this location to rectify the issues. There isn't a whole lot that needs to be done to correct the issues, but something needs to happen or else this place will go out of business at the price point. I'll be back before I just write this place off. It definitely has potential.
