    Libertino Lanes - Look for the sign. Parking in the back

    Libertino Lanes is an excellent place to stop in when you want to spend some of your evening…read morebowling in Chincoteague. You walk in the alley seems like a place frozen in time. The carpeting has that classic bowling alley pattern ubiquitous in every bowling alley ever. The scoring machines are still kicking from 1985. There won't be any fancy animations on the TV screens when you win save for an X for a strike and slash line for a spare. But you don't need that; you're just here to go bowling. There are 8 lanes available and they get the job done. There rest of the inside has that classic bowling alley carpet and while there aren't many arcade games anymore, there is a claw machine and a "Cruising USA" available. The roof is very old and in need of repair, so you will see some tarp covering a few spots and a few ceiling tiles with a few water spots. Mr. Libertino himself welcomed us as we walked in and got us set up with our shoes and even set the lane up for us. Child #1 and Child #2 were happy to have the bumpers up. Child #2 also appreciated having a bowling ramp since even the 6-pound balls are a little unwieldy at his age. There is a snack area with Pepsi product fountain sodas available for $2.25. Several snack food options are listed, but it seeing as the whole place was a one-man operation, so I really don't know if he is going to run a fryer for chicken tenders or if they're microwaved. Hours are limited. Mr. Libertino said he does this in addition to his regular day job at a garage, hence he's only open from 6:00-9:00 in the evenings (Tuesday through Friday) and 4:00-9:00 on Saturday. When I asked why it's closed on Sundays, he explained that so few people came on Sundays, so they're closed that day. This is clearly a labor of love by a man with a passion for bowling. He added that he'd be up anyway or would otherwise go to bed early enough that he'd wake up so early, so he figured he might as well keep offering the chance for folks to bowl. He said most folks come when it's rainy or when mosquitoes are so bad. Just be aware of that when you might have a wait. As of this writing, it's about $6 per person per game and shoe rentals a little over $3. So not too bad an experience. Libertino's is nothing fancy but a nice respite from the usual entertainment in a small beach town. Come in and enjoy life at a more relaxed pace and have fun knocking down some pins.

    Not sure if this is a recent issue, but my family and I visited recently and noticed a strong mold…read moresmell. It was apparent as soon as we opened the door. Although the atmosphere seemed nice, the smell wasn't pleasant and ultimately we weren't able to stay. Hopefully this issue can be resolved in the future as Chincoteague Island is a beautiful place to spend vacation and deserves a beautiful bowling alley.

    Very quaint bowling alley. Once checked in they weren't…read morevery attentive, but it's a bowling alley. It could use some renovation, but like I said...it's a bowling alley...lol The lane did malfunction a few times. They gladly just switched us to a new lane... As long as you aren't looking for new ages bowling alleys with all the "things"... This is the perfect simple date night spot.

    unfortunately i had a pretty bad experience here. so to start our night we asked for one lane, we…read morecame during the off season so it was pretty dead which was great at first. they charged us $8 at the door and gave us a lane. we saw they had a deal advertised "spend $15 at the bar and get 2 free games". we played our first game before deciding we wanted some food so we asked about the deal they offered. the older, shorter man told us if we spend $20 (not 15 as advertised) that we'd get two free games. i spent $25 on food and then proceeded to ask about the deal & the "manager" told me and my husband that if we spent an ADDITIONAL $20 that we'd get two games for FREE. i continued to spend another $22 and me and my husband played an additional 2 games. as we walked out the younger boy yells at us to come back and pay (after paying for the first game plus almost $50 in food) we asked to clarify about the deal and he didn't explain anything he just claimed we owed another $28 (two games worth that were supposed to be free and advertised and communicated by the manager) i asked if i could pay the $14 for one game and he proceeded to call the cops on us and cause a scene being disrespectful while me and my husband tried to calmly and respectfully explain what was communicated to us. the "manager" was nowhere to be found at this time he claimed he didn't wanna deal with our "shit". i ended up paying the $28 ontop of the $55 for food and shoes, etc. overall they were very disrespectful, terrible communicators and scammed us for our money. i don't recommend coming here if u don't wanna be convinced and scammed out of ur money. i also don't usually write reviews but the cops actually recommended it since we couldn't do much else.
