I love this place, a family run business. I've been bowling here since the 60s and 70's when it…read morewas run by Bob and Audrey Lytle. Back them it was 16 lanes, I just revisited summer of 2012 and its 40 modern lanes, but still reminds me of the place I started bowling. The only negative thing I have to say is bowling isn't quite as popular in Erie (surprise) as Columbus where I live now and their summer hours are somewhat limited. Many alleys in Columbus are open 24/7 and the summer is a time for open bowling without having to worry about league night. We showed up here a couple of times this year, like Friday night at 10pm only to find them closed. I do like that they let you bowl as much as you want and pay after.

I didn't just get a workout; I got a front-row seat to the lore of the "King of the Gutter." The Encounter While helping my nan pick out a 6lb ball, I was cornered by a man who can only be described as "aerodynamically round." This local legend spent twenty minutes explaining that he once bowled a perfect 300, but alas, "cameras weren't invented back then" (or some such logic), so I'd just have to take his word for it. He informed me that he's the best bowler in town and runs a tavern, which I assume is where he practices his other hobby: telling tall tales. The "Unc" Factor The wildest part? He's apparently a local celebrity. Every five minutes, a group of teenagers would walk up, call him "Unc," and dab him up like he'd just signed a multi-million dollar contract. I don't know if he's actually their uncle or if he just dispenses questionable wisdom in exchange for respect, but the "Unc" energy was off the charts. The Great Betrayal The vibe turned sour when I accidentally got into a groove. I rolled three strikes in a row (pure luck, honestly), and "Unc" lost it. He couldn't handle the competition. He went straight to the owner and claimed I was using illegal bumpers. The owner--who apparently values Unc's tavern stories over physics--actually kicked me and my grandmother out! Apparently, at GreenGarden, talent is a bannable offense if it hurts the local legend's feelings. The Grand Finale As we were being escorted out, Unc pointed to the sleek black Mustang parked right in front of the doors. "That's my ride," he bragged, adjusting his belt. "Built for speed." It was a beautiful car, truly. It's just a shame that "speed" wasn't happening today because the front wheel had a massive yellow boot on it. I guess even the "best bowler in town" can't strike his way out of unpaid parking tickets. Summary: Go for the bowling, stay for the delusions of grandeur, but leave your skills at home if you don't want to be framed for "Bumper Fraud." Pros The Entertainment Value: You get a professional-grade comedy show for the price of a shoe rental. Watching a man claim a Mustang with a boot on it is peak cinema. Nan's Workout: My grandmother got some great cardio in while we were being chased out by the "Bumper Police." The Social Scene: If you're looking to get "dabbed up" and integrated into the local "Unc" hierarchy, this is the place to be. Easy Parking: Well, easy for some. There's always at least one black Mustang taking up a prime spot indefinitely. Cons The "Unc" Tax: If you bowl better than a turkey, expect to be reported to management for "technological interference." Strict Bumper Policy: Apparently, having a high skill ceiling is considered a "cheat code" by the local tavern owner. Management Bias: The owner seems to believe the word of a man who hasn't seen a 300-game since the Triassic period over the literal laws of physics. Short Visit: Don't get too attached to your lane; if you hit three strikes, your night is effectively over.

If you are planning on playing in the arcade area, go ahead to the customer-service area and purchase a game card, you could also get it easy from the kiosk, as you will need this card to swipe and play. We love their claw-machine (which we found it to be so much easier to win than the one in Asia, rip), if you stay there long enough on a good day, you will find some people with a big bag full of stuffed animals they won. So your chance is pretty high on winning those for your loved ones (including yourself!) When you have won enough stuffed animals, take a break and come to the other section where there are plenty of arcade games, there are ones for the sport-lover, anime-lover and those who loves to dance. There are also bowling alley, and karaoke party room which we enjoy going once in a while. Food and drinks are not allowed in there as you will be checked by the security when entered. Though, there is a little food bar that offer quick bites as well as pizza, ice cream and alcohols. Before you leave, go check out the photo booth, I recommend the Japanese ones, since you can decorate it how you like before printing it. Always have so much fun coming here, will be back again soon.

The guy working there, not sure if he's the owner or an employee, was very nice. He had to turn everything on for us to play.
