I found out on this visit that I am terrible at duck pin bowling (which obviously did not effect my…read moreview of this place) and still had so much fun! Even after growing up in central Ohio, where pins started, I had never been to one before. This one in Cincinnati looks small on the outside, but has three floors and a basement once you get inside. The bowling is on the first and second floors, and there are many arcade games on the third floor and basement. My group all ordered drinks from the bar. I had a cocktail and found it very well made. It is not often you find a place like this with good entertainment and good service. We bowled two games but the second got cut short due to an event that closed the 2nd and 3rd floors. To compensate us, the team gave us all a coupon for a free game, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, I am happy I finally got to try duck pin bowling and would love to come back (to practice of course). This is a great place for meeting friends, having and event, or simply relaxing after work.

I wish this was set up like batting cages where there was netting in between lanes. Maybe it was due to a very large party of teenage boys next to us, who had already knocked our pins down when we arrived and I had to ask to move a few times.. just not a great start searching for a lost pin in a mess of pins all over. When I went to use the restroom there were probably close to 20 bags of trash just piled by the dock door right in front of the restrooms which is pretty gross. Like I said... a lot of potential to be a cool spot, but for the price point I expected a lot more cleanliness and organization.

The facility was chaotic, unorganized, and clearly understaffed or poorly run. No one appeared to be in charge. Despite having a scheduled, prepaid reservation, our pool tables were not available because none were set aside. The manager's response was to "email and hope" for a refund. That is unacceptable and shows a complete lack of accountability. Main Event took our money knowing they could not honor reservations. This place should not be selling prepaid schedules it cannot manage. Do not waste your time or money.

For example, we were supposed to start at 1, but most of the time we ended up starting around 1:30 because of practice time and any resets we had to do. The alley staff had to reset our lanes multiple times due to the aforementioned scoring issues. The only reason this isn't getting a worse rating is that when things were working, it was a fun environment to be around.
