Wow! I had never been to Plainfield Lanes before, but came for my nephew's birthday party this…read moreweekend. I was very pleasantly surprised! Most bowling alleys (if not part of a chain, ie Brunswick), have a dreary vibe to them - dark, dank and unkempt - but not here. We arrived at 1pm for the birthday party, and all of the lanes were already busy. You can tell that this business books a lot of parties - and I can see why! The price per person for parties is fantastic! They have multiple tiers of both children and adult parties, as well as corporate and fundraising events. We had chicken fingers and pizza, and both were better than you'd expect at a bowling alley. The party even had a coordinator; he kept the time very on track, and was very accommodating. I'd definitely recommend Plainfield Lanes as a local outing or party spot!

This was my first time at Twisted Pin, and I was very impressed. The prices are pretty high but as…read morea non-bowler, I am not sure how they rank compared to other places. On the other hand, this place is also a little more high end compared to your old fashion bowling/dive bar places. The location was very easy to find. We used Google Navigation and it lead us directly to the place. If you miss the entrance, it might be a little annoying to backtrack but no big issues. Parking was no issues and it is very big compared to the size of the building. We showed up on a busy Wednesday where it is penny pins so you only pay a penny per pin you knock down. Essentially...the worst you are, the cheaper your game will be. Inside the building is very nice and clean. There are two entrances..one is a "restaurant" and the other is the decent sized arcade and bowling. There is a self serving beer tap. And they do serve food. They do a little star less due to the prices of the food as well. It is better than your traditional bar/bowling food but it is a little more expensive. Also, I do enjoy the service of the self serving beer tap. They had a lot of selections of beer, 1-2 seltzers, 1 cider and ~5 wine selection. Also, they do have a "limit" of ~32 oz where the bartender can allow you or less depending on how you act. I do appreciate that so while you can drink feely, no one is getting drunk. I think we were paying ~.60 cents an oz and it does tell you how much your drink will cost as you are pouring. Also, they do have a small water station will is greatly appreciated. The arcade is decently sized. They do have a lot of selections of games but it is not a place where I would go just for the arcade. The size is good for after bowling or while you are waiting for your lane. Overall, I am very impressed with this location. Food, self serving beer tap, and arcades... I am fan of Twisted Pins and I would be back in the future.

I've been a couple times for special events and it's always a positive experience. Strong customer service, the shoe rentals are in good condition, plenty of balls to choose from and the lanes all functioned well (e.g., no problems with the balls returning). The only drawback is that it is expensive...about $40 an hour and shoe rentals are extra.

Not just a walk through a metal detector but take everything out your pockets type of search. My Co Worker had a vape and they took that from him and stated that he would be able to grab it when he left. Once we got inside, we were told it was an hour wait for a lane. So, we decided to sit at the bar. When we walked up to the bar whoever was sitting there before us items were still on the counter. We ask the bartender was someone sitting there she said no and then proceeded to clean the area. We sat at the bar until an hour had come and gone. So I went up there and they had just called us. I grabbed my coworkers and we paid and grabbed our lanes. The pricing was average. I understand security is a needed thing for everything that is going on in the world but that was a lot just to bowl. Oh, and the Vape that was taken when we first got there was gone.

While I do not personally bowl, I go for the camaraderie and the overall vibe. The establishment is exceptionally clean, well maintained, and very family friendly.

Everything was fresh, delicious, and cooked to perfection. What truly set the experience apart was the service.

Between the superb service, delicious food, and welcoming environment, this location is a winner. I will definitely be returning. (The pics are only the first round of food that was ordered).
