    Classic ball returns
    David P.

    This is a classic set of bowling lanes. What I mean by that is that they break, all of the time. They will break for you. You will have to press reset, get frustrated, then call for the bar staff to help fix it. You will wait. But they do have drawings of PBR on the wall, cheap prices for bowling, and juicy lucy's from the Nook upstairs. What they don't have is working bowling equipment, clean bowling balls, or room for more than 2-3 people per lane. The bathroom was one of the dingiest nastiest bathrooms I have ever seen. I would rather visit a trashy bar downtown Minneapolis for a bathroom break than step into this thing again. My hands were black from the bowling balls, my brain was fried from being in such close quarters to other patrons, and my gut was full of delicious Nook burgers. Will I be back? 'Eh maybe. Will I try to get a seat instead upstairs at the Nook, certainly.

    Old school lanes! Disco ball and Christmas lights. We loved it! You keep your own score here on giant sheets of paper. Thankfully, I know how to do this. Forgot fancy and think nostalgic. I have only seen one other Center like this before in my life. It may be small, but it's bursting with fun and charm!

    It's been awhile since this bowling alley has been running well.

    So much fun! A great neighborhood bowling alley with a vintage feel. The Nook menu is a major plus!

    We didn't have the best experience here; the staff was very rude and the bowling lanes kept malfunctioning.

    I had not gone bowling in 10+ years and Ran-Ham was the perfect place to try out bowling again.

We were seated right away but it took 10+ minutes for anyone to bring us menus or take a drink order. If a place is busy, that's not a problem but it wasn't that busy and they seemed to have adequate staff. There seemed to be a lack of organization- who was in charge of which section. We were there during happy hour and they have a nice HH menu with discounts on drinks and apps. We ordered beers and chicken nachos. The nachos were subpar at best and were lacking pico and the blend of five cheeses the menu states. The live music was very good and it is a fun place for kids and to watch games. Unfortunately I don't think we'll return.

Idk the last time i was in a bar where folks were playing pool? They were last night, so that was fun. Cool tap list on the "wall" below the second floor. Liked the retro Hamms signage/wallpaper @ the top of the wall. Had arcade games and some card machine, so you must not play on $ but $ you put on these cards. Acoustics were great for the music & it was loud enough that he wasnt drowned out by conversation. St Paul Tap is a chill vibe. This is my first time in as this incarnation. Ill definitely have to go back...for food & drinks.

All entrants pay an admission fee (kids under 5 years are free), and all video games, kids rides, and older-style games are free to play. Mini golf and some other activities are Ala carte. There is street parking and an underground parking lot, but, on weekends, parking can be tough to find. There is a cafe to purchase food. Options are flatbreads, baskets, tacos, and more. The food quality is pretty good, but pricey. I get it. The place probably has large overhead costs, so a business needs to make its margins. There is also a beverage wall with various kinds of drinks (mostly-all (?) alcoholic), which are self-pour. I forgot to take photos. Trust me when I say the place is very unique and is great to check out. Pros: - Great place to bring kids - The older-style games are very amusing Cons: - Food is on the pricier side

It was explained to me that the whole thing was run off an iPad in the back room. We went for New Year's Eve had a lovely time, food was great as usual. They even brought out one of my favourite pinball machines as a request. The only thing I could knock a star down for was I paid over $10 for probably the worst milkshake I've ever had. Seriously, the milkshake wasn't much thicker than water. And it was very small. Other than that, I'll just remember not to get the ice cream next time. The best thing about Can-Can Wonderland is the fact that it's a real arcade, not a kiddie ticket casino. And in the evening it becomes a very nice adults only place but still doesn't feel like you're gonna get in a bar fight but you can simply just have a good time..
