    Part of the Arcade area
    Kelly P.

    I went to spare time for a birthday party. It was my first time inside and the workers assigned to us were attentive and helpful. The kids had a blast bowling and then doing laser tag. The arcade games naturally are pricey for little win back chance or prizes but I feel like that's everywhere now. I didn't personally try the food so I am unsure how it is. I can't give it full stars since I didn't try the whole place. It is a cute place for a visit or maybe a party. The security guard/worker was extra helpful to one of our kids as well which was sweet.

    There are two reasons Spare Time Bristol lost a start. They need more help in the restaurant / bar area. There needs to be a machine to buy the cards to play games on both sides of the arcade. The sign directed us to seat ourselves and we sat at least 15 min before my husband had to go up to the bar and ask for menu's. It was not at all the fault of the very nice waitress that helped us. This poor women was both waitressing and serving drinks at the bar. The bowling alley was packed and even though it was daytime it had a glow or moonlight bowling vibe. We did not bring our bowling balls with us so we did not get to check out the lanes. The video games were cool. Big versions of classic games such as Pac Man, Galaga, Space Invaders. The four of us had lots of fun at Connect Four Hoops and air hockey. There were plenty of games of skills for tickets. Of course like most arcades all the decent prizes cost Alot of tickets. We finished our day off at Axe throwing. They had rubber axes but the game was sort of broken. After we swiped our cards the belt that brings the rubber axes closer to play was not working. My sister in law saved the day by putting her leg out and pulling the belt towards us. After a few minutes of doing that the belt finally moved. Overall a fun time!

    fun place to come for date night or with friends. plenty to do: bowl, laser tag, arcade games. costed about $22 for a si gke game of bowling, plus $25 for a card to play the games. games can range between $1.50-$3.00 each. bowling is half off on Tuesdays!

    Birthday party fun!

    Sparetime is a great place to host a birthday celebration. There's tons of fun stuff to keep kids and adults entertained for hours. First is of course the new up to date bowling area with lounge seating and tons of lanes. They even had cute little dinosaur ramps to help the younger aged kids be able to participate in the bowling game. There is a full dine in restaurant and bar right in the same area which is perfect for ordering drinks and extra food. The party ordered a 50-60sliced pizza that was named the "Goliath". It was ginormous! I never seen a pizza that big and thought it was so cool. After we ate and bowled, the whole other side was an arcade filled with games and fun stuff for everyone to do. They had an area for virtual reality and even a seperate enterance for laser tag. After the kids were done with the games they accumulated points on the cards and shopped at a gift shop to redeem them. They even had a scavenger hunt to find the elf on the shelf and won a 5$ game zone card for the next visit. We had a great time!

    Arcade when you enter the bowling alley

    All I can say is WOW. I went to spare time today (a Saturday afternoon) for a kid's birthday party, and I expected your typical, dingy, run of the mill bowling alley. This was not that at all! Walking in, it is immediately clear that there were significant renovations. Everything looks new and is very clean, a word I never use in connection with a bowling alley. When you walk in the front door, there is a huge arcade in front with a laser tag area as well. This arcade isn't quite as big as say a Dave and Busters but it's pretty close! To the right is where you check in and beyond that is a very modern and clean bar/eating area. The bowling lanes on the left are just as nice with huge tv screens above the lanes playing music videos. The bowling was great, my son loved the arcade, and the pizza was good (excellent for bowling alley pizza). The atmosphere is five stars! So much better than expected and probably the nicest bowling alley I've ever been in. Highly recommend!

    Super fun but also very expensive. I do think it's with the hit to the pocket book every once in a while

    Staff is friendly. Pizza and Stromboli (all flavors) are delicious! Salads are just okay. . . Premade.

    Very family friendly location. Came here for the first time, which happened to be on a league…read morenight. I am not sure how often they do league but definitely call prior arrival and ask if they have league going as there is no available lanes during league. We played the mini golf which is very small and short, kinda bowling themed kinda full of some fake plants and a Christmas's tree??. Mini golf is cheap at about $9-$10 a person. Wasn't really sure what the par was on the course so it's pretty much a guess. Got a few drinks, bartender served people standing at counter before us. Seems like they need to update their software very slow service as the bar waiting for my credit card to process along with the 4-5 other league people who came in after that we had to wait for. Fun, old school bowling place friendly staff. Mini golf is pretty mediocre. Okay service. 3/5 Hopefully will return at some point to try the bowling and see how the lanes are.

    The team at Lessard lanes is professional, warm and incredibly well integrated with their diverse…read morecustomers needs. Whether its open bowling, league bowling, a senior league or Junior bowling, every person on staff understands the difference's and knows the customers. The facility is always clean, the lanes are well kept and the staff gets to know you if you are a regular. I sincerely appreciate Marcel and Allison and the staff create a wonderful experience for all! A special shout out to Dirk Ridley, Owner at Competitive Edge, who gets all my pro shop business!
