    Finally got to check out Primrose Lanes and had a great time! Lots to do and really great vibe. Space was clean and lively and Service was excellent. The bowling is old school with old tired balls, but you're not going for an excellent bowling experience, your going there to bowl and skate and eat food and have a good drinks. The bowling was a little expensive, but I understand they have happy hour deals. Food was bar food, slightly better, and the drinks were on point. This is a great spot

    SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
    Alyssa M.

    This bowling alley is definitely more than just a bowling alley! There is also an arcade, a skating rink, several other activities, and a sports bar! We came in and had some food in the sports bar first. I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was super creamy and tasty. The chips were also very crunchy and fresh. The food was a little pricey but expected for this type of place. We then went over to the bowling alley and it was really nice! You pay per hour (again a little pricey but not anything crazy) and the lanes have a really cool look to them. The staff was friendly and the place was pretty clean.

    Hosted a team bonding event here and we were blown away! Amazing service from the Primrose Staff and very attentive when it came to our food and drink orders. We were also lucky to have arrived on the opening of one of their new offerings... the Skating Rink! The design/decor of this area gives you old school neon skating party vibes and the music definitely sets the vibe. And don't get me started on their karaoke rooms! Bowling has the same type of retro vibe, but updated score boards that let you get a little more interactive (photo avatars) and comfy seating in and adjacent to our lanes. So much to do that I can't wait to go back! (We stayed inside for this event so we didn't get to hang around their outside area much or try the arcade area)

    This was my first time at primrose and immediately saw there was a lot to do here and it's very aesthetic. They have two different bars in the main area, bowling lanes, arcades, and a skating rink. We had a reservation for a bowling lane and have sufficient bowling balls. Unfortunately, it seems as though the lanes themselves are on a slope and veer toward one direction so we had to start accounting for that. Secondly, the computer kept miscalculating points throughout the night which took time away from our game time. We tried different food and drink items. I'm partial to skinny fries so I enjoyed that. The crispy onions were a little burnt but the drinks were all enjoyable and there's a few specials you can find on their menu. The staff were friendly and checked on us throughout our stay to ensure we were good on drinks and food.

    I loved this place, we actually came here by chance just on an adventure day out and about and i'm so glad we did. It really was the most adorable, most Y2K vibe place that you can find around here. The options are endless here, you cannot be bored lol They had lots of bowling lanes of course which looks super cute & fun with the neon / glow light vibes, there's a karaoke room which you pay hourly for, they have an incredible rollerskating rink area.. and walking into THAT section is gorgeous because they have an entire archway that is made up of colorful skate wheels!! They also have a lot of arcade games and an area that honestly looks like it would be the best spot for game days because it has several TVs on the wall with ample seating and it's homey over there almost like you're at your house... if your house was boujee and you had a cool "man-cave" like that lol We had a few things off the happy hour menu - the mini pretzels were SO good!!! Highly recommend those, FYI. There's 2 bars to choose from and the bartender we had was super friendly, she had had great recommendations and good conversation. 10/10, we loved it here and will be back soon with more people! You do just have to loosen the purse strings a bit if you want to do everything. From looking at the options / deals etc - it looks like Monday evening is probably the best bang for your buck to come!

    Pornstar martini

    I really enjoyed Primrose Lanes. I was invited here for a Galentine Night out for Karaoke. This was my first time here so I was excited . This place has a nice ambiance. The bowling area isn't huge which I love. They have more than one bar & you can rent the karaoke room for 2 hour increments. My friend booked the room from 8pm-10pm. She was also able to decorate. We had so much fun. The food and drinks were delicious. They have HH and daily drink specials . You cannot mix and match so I decided for drinks to order the pornstar martini which was 2 for $20 instead of one for $14 . For food I ordered the chicken Cesar salad wrap which came with fries. The pornstar drink was def strong so I didn't need ANYMORE. The wrap. Is huge so I ate the fries and one 1/2 of the wrap and took the rest to go. I also tried my friends wings they were just ok ( I would have liked the wings fried harder) . I also had mozzarella sticks & spinach & artichoke dip. The customer service was great there was always someone checking on us and taking new orders . We had such a great time , I will def be back for bowling.

    martinis and darts

    Love that there is parking close by. We popped in to check it out after a coffee date on a Saturday. First things first, it's not a big place and if you don't have a reservation for a lane, it will be tough for you to bowl. We opted instead to play darts and take advantage of their martini special (2 for $20 I think it was?). The drink was boozy and tasty. All the games, photo booths, etc. are pay to play which is expected. We played a few rounds of darts which was super fun! They do have a karaoke room that was complete with costumes. I will definitely have to do that at some point. I feel like this place gets busy and is often booked for corporate events. I tried to reserve a couple of lanes for my birthday in December and they had no availability for the times. When I called they had a buyout. So the key learning is RESERVE RESERVE RESERVE!

    A group of 6 of us went to Primrose for a Love Island watch party and had the best time! The food was delicious, the service was attentive, the sports lounge was comfortable and built for entertainment. The TV stacks were like a mini sportsbook, with booths along the back and comfortable stadium style seats on the floor. The room was packed for the event, and the food and drinks were fresh and prompt. The seasoning on the fries was amazing, and the steak sandwich was perfectly tender (with the sauce on the side so no soggy bun!).

    I love this place! It's catty corner to Festival Park. This is my 2nd time in after an event at the park. Jason, one of the managers, was great, and gave us a full tour the first time around. He also told us a bit about the history of the place. It dates back to the 50s as Colonial Lanes. It is much smaller than it was previously but 8 of the lanes are original. The wood for the bar was made out.of a couple of the original lanes. The whole bar overlooking the bowling lanes. They also offer a karaoke room for rent. The outside is very retro looking and I was surprised by the ambiance and decor inside. Although it is retro inside, there are many modern aspects to it. I was expecting a smoke filled place but it is so clean with not a hint of cigarette smells. They offer food and drink. Ive tried their burgers and the dry rubbed wings. Both were excellent. The wings were crispy and served with a delicious blue cheese. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. They offer a full bar. Martinis are 2 for $20 and the bartenders are awesome and very personable. Bunny took great care of us the first time around. We didn't get a chance to see her tonight but the male bartender there was also very good. If you are near the Milk District, trust me on this, just stop in.

    ALL BEEF HOT DOG
    Genevere S.

    Was out having a girls day and went in for a drink. As you walk in it's very nicely decorated and spacious. The bowling areas looked fun. We went to the bar area and our bartender Bunny was AMAZING!!! Super friendly and attentive. I had the Martini special which is probably the best deal I the area. Tried the porn star and French bowler both were very good! One was sweeter than the other but were good sweetness to alcohol ratio. Also had mini pretzels and all beef hot dog. Both were good and portion was on point! We had one of the employees ask if we wanted to try a new drink they were testing and it was delicious! I believe it was pineapple and tequila with something else I can let remember. But it was so good, hope it makes it on the menu for the next time I visit!

    The food and drinks aren't bad here. The HH menu also is from 3-6pm on weekdays, which offers 50% their cocktails. I got the purple gin (not too sweet) and the margaritas. Also tried the martinis: espresso is good and strong (could use more espresso flavor but that's my preference), dirty (way too much brine for me), and french bowler (sweet and fruity). I got the chicken Caesar wrap which was decent, and the burger was decent too. Sweet potato waffles and shoestring fries were all good. Potato skins are a little different in using pimento cheese and pepper jelly - I liked it. They also have a karaoke room inside as well that we tried and had fun in.

    They've got some janky junkie lanes that needs to be restored. Got the worst end lane where a lot of the wood has been beat up and chunks of it were missing Seems like they put in money for their multiple bars and game areas because it did look cool but I thought this was going to be a upscale bowling alley The lane had issues 3 times during the hour which ate up the hourly charge. The pins wouldn't get counted correctly on the scoreboard and kept putting the wrong amount of pins for the next throw or restarting with the incorrect amount of pins. Had to wait for help also but they needed to see it happen in action but it stopped messing up once that happened, of course Also the shoes were terrible, no slip and slide action so I got stuck and almost face planted on my first throw. The 2nd pair were a little better but not much. Lighter balls were hard to find and didn't seem to be much available which made us stuck having to share the lighter balls with the neighboring customers I can see how people can be attracted to their 2 for 1 martinis deal & the Sunday and Monday $10 per person, per hour bowling deal but this place needs to fix their lanes up. I would look for other places for decent bowling instead of here. This was a terrible experience and would not come back for bowling here

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list. Go after 9 or 10 PM and plan to stay for at least two hours. That's when you really see the scene develop and come alive. Bring your ID: they card at the door. Even at my age, I still get carded.

We looked over the happy hour menu (good all day on Monday nights and Tuesday through Friday 5-7pm). We ask Mel about the "Bartender's Choice" selection under happy hour drinks. She said the bartender will mix a drink of their preference. The customer cannot choose the alcohol or any mixers as the bartender makes the decisions all by him or herself. Mel asked if we had any allergies or any other issues that might affect the drinks the bartender would like to make. We said we did not and we decided to take on this "choice" experience. Serena was the bartender of the evening and she did an amazing job. She mixed up various concoctions for us throughout the night (we ordered a second round after the first one) and we enjoyed every drink she prepared. The presentation of the drinks were also well done. Serena's cocktails consisted of bourbon, rum, and various ingredients which could include bitters, lemon, agave or other cocktail mixers. She was the bartender extraordinaire of the evening. For food, we ordered the half dozen chicken wings (2 orders since they were so good) and the pizza empanadas to start. The two empanadas had mozzarella cheese stuffed inside and were served with a warm marinara. From the main menu, we ordered the Faroe Island Salmon, which was served on a bad of risotto and tomato butter, with capers. The portion of the salmon was somewhat small for the price of $28, but it and the risotto were cooked perfectly. We ended the night with their signature drink, "Death in the Afternoon" which contains absinthe and is one of my favorite drinks here in Orlando. It was another five star experience and my friend found a new restaurant she now loves. All in all, a great night thanks to the attentiveness and easy-going attitude of Mel, our server, and the exceptional cocktails from the bartender, Serena. Thank you both for a job very well done!

The pork belly was braised nicely and tender, with the marshmallow adding the sweetness. The homemade crackers were very nice, and the jalapeno added a nice kick. The main dish was the bourbon chicken. It was nicely tender and had a hint of sweetness from the bourbon. The rice went well with the chicken, and the broccolini was perfectly grilled. For dessert, the bread pudding with ice cream was a perfect end. Moist and delicious. It was getting full, so I was able to save some and enjoy at home too.
