Food was half decent but the service..... ohhh the service ; or lack of it Do yoursf a favor and just don't read more

Refills on sodas on lemonade are $1! I was here for dinner... I wasn't here to play games. Long wait for my wings and then a longer wait to pay. Just very short staffed I guess. My wings were good though.... Looks like the place has potential and could be a lot of fun with a group of friends read more

Zone 28 - Wings - Bowling Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

So-so entertainment complex. The bumper cars are neat, and the bowling is okay (except when they're assaulting you with music videos and you can barely hear the people next to you). Not a great selection of video games, and they're all expensive. Kids burn through their cards super-fast. The prize area is always understaffed (or not staffed at all), so it's a hassle to cash in tickets at the end. We've been to a couple of birthday parties here and it's very hard to supervise the kids when they scatter through the video game area. Also the laser tag games mix kids of different ages even for a party group. My son got bowled over by a much larger kid once. Not a great experience. read more

Really fun place for the whole family. I was there for my sister in law's 40th birthday and my only complaint was that we put 2 birthday cakes in a bag and the staff threw them away. When I asked about it, they said that someone from our party took them. That was not the case. I would have rather they just owned up to the mistake. Laser tag staff seemed to have been run thin but did a great job of keeping things moving and keeping calm. read more

People hate this place but I actually enjoy it. It fulfills my need to gamble but it's with kids and the prizes are inexpensive Chinese plastic toys. I have no idea why this is appealing but it's fun. My daughter and I had a blast playing air hockey, giant Connect Four and a ski ball. I guess it just reminds me of going to Chuck E Cheese when I was a kid. They have laser tag and bowling too! My daughter loved it and we had a great time connecting. read more

I joined a bowling league recently where we go to Zone 28 every Wednesday night. We use the VIP section which is very nice, and allows us to have regularly lighted lanes when the other lanes turn to a glow-in-the-dark atmosphere at night which is also cool for a date night or evening out. Even on Wednesday nights the lanes are usually at least 2/3 occupied and people are enjoying themselves at the bar/restaurant as well. The service is also very good, whenever there is a rare issue like a pin stuck in the gutter the attendant will come over to help quickly. My only slight complaint is the lanes do not always have good "slide"-when you release the ball, it helps for your front foot to slide rather than just land in place- to them. Some bowlers in the league will bring powder to help with that. It's not a huge deal, especially bowling just for fun, but takes some time to get used to. I tried the pizza last time and it was good for a bowling alley. I usually eat beforehand but I was happy with how quick it came out, and the waitress brought it over to my lane so I didn't have to wait by the bar. The beers on draft are also good with a decent selection. I would recommend trying this place. read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU HAVE A LARGE FAMILY!! We paid $90 for a family of 11 to play in two lanes, only not to be able to finish ONE game!!! We even asked the lady when we first arrived at the front desk if we would be able to play at least 2 games and she replied "if we move fast enough". We were in the 8th frame, and our time apparently ran out. we decided to ask MOE the supervisor to allow us to AT LEAST finish the ONE game we paid $90 for and he informed us that we could add an additional 15 minutes if we pay ANOTHER $25!!!!!! ONCE AGAIN DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!! AND to make matters worse they don't even take cash!!! This place is a JOKE. read more

Place is garbage. The food is terrible, the waitress didn't ask if we wanted anything to drink in over two hours sitting at the table, and the trivia person is rude. Only semi redeeming fact is they have a good beer selection. Will never go back. read more

3 stars? BULLSCHEISSE. FUN FEST. And, that it is. With trepidation, daughter and I trundled up 28 to go to Fun Fest for her birthday. Booking was easy; a helpful person helped me decide what package to get. Deposit of u$25 got a reservation. We hit the road by 9:30 for a 10:15 party, with a stop to pick up cupcakes. We were early. We didn't do anything other than find a parking space in the copious lot, scout out the place, and wait for our guests. Our perky host dealt well with a dozen 5yos thru disco light bowling, laser tag, guiding the children to grab a bite betwixt corralling them from this venue to that. Pizza, more PGH style with thicker crust, but VERY edible. Wings, plain, but edible; parents made them disappear, as everyone did w/ the pizza. Vincents is still my fave, but this was what is available and it works, and works well. Our space was neat and tidy, as was the place in general. And, there is a bar. We hit the thing before it opened, but can DEF see slipping in for a quick one should an event be on when its open. read more

I took my daughter bowling tonight. We bought an hour. There were only two of us so we got three games in. At the end of the hour, the game shut off. We were in the tenth frame. We got no credit for the 7 minutes mid game when the lane broke and they had to go in the back to repair. But that is all fine I guess. It is a bowling alley. The part that annoyed me though was after I went up to ask why the screens shut off and was told my hour was over, I turned around and a strange family was asking my daughter to leave the lane. Zone 28 sold our lane to another group in a matter of 3 minutes. I left frustrated and unhappy with the experience. Good luck, not heading back any time soon. read more

To many crappy diversionary games for kids. I want to "bowl" not hang at a Chuck E. Cheese.

Very disappointed. We had a group of us go on a Sunday. Fifty dollars a lane for an hour. No bowling shoes needed. You wore regular shoes. Couldn't slide to bowl. Machine set the pins with 9 pins instead of 10. Didn't count pins right either. Expected more for our money. They just shut off game when time ran out. You need to make sure if you bring your own ball, be sure to not use it close to time running out. You are rushing the game to finish you can't have fun. Would not recommend read more

Ok, I have to admit it.. this place is fun! It's kind of like a low-key, less expensive Dave and Busters, but truthfully I had more fun here than I ever have at a D&B! We decided to stop in because it was my younger brothers 14th birthday and as many times as we had driven by on our way to and from Pittsburgh Mills, we finally had a reason to check it out! It was about 8pm on a Tuesday evening and when we walked in, there was a small crowd (mainly families and teens) with plenty of space to spread out. The bowling lanes are really nice and all of the equipment is new and in good working order. The bowling is updated and modern, and while you have all the classic fun of bowling, they've adapted to the times and spiced it up a bit (some bowling alleys have done this and some havent.. but this is the nicest we've seen and been to recently). They provide you with that fun, "cosmic bowling"-ish atmosphere, without having to stay out late or wait til the weekend. There's a full bar and a full food menu as well. The games are set up D&B style, where you load money onto a card and use that to play games (they don't charge for purchase of the card, btw!). They also offer bumper cars and laser tag, the latter of which we took full advantage of! We played 2 games of bowling ($25 for an hour per lane, including shoes.. not bad considering there were 3 of us), and then we played 2 games of laser tag ($10/ 15 min game for 2 games, $7 for 1 game). We had an absolute blast with the laser tag! I've never played before, but of course my 2 male counterparts were practically pros haha.. all 3 of us were sweating after the first game and needed a break because we played so hard lol! Now I don't have anything to compare it to, but it seemed pretty big to me! Lots of good equipment to choose from, clever theming, and thoughtful design/lay out! My 14 year old brother had a blast, as did my husband and I (in fact I'd say it's safe to say we had just as much fun as the kid!). We will definitely go back, with or without a teenager lol.. we liked the bowling alley more than any we've been to, and the games are an added bonus! What a fun way to spend a Tuesday night! I would definitely recommend Zone 28 to anyone looking for a fun place to go, regardless if your age or the reason.. the prices are just right and you'll have an great time.. what more could you ask for? read more

Our son had a friend's birthday party at Zone 28 this evening. The kids had a great time bowling!!! While we waited for the party, we grabbed an appetizer and dessert at the restaurant inside Zone 28, called Rail House Restaurant. Service was very slow but we didn't mind as we had time to spare. We will definitely come back and try the new Escape Room. read more

Ok. Before you are heading out, ask yourself a few questions.... 1) do I have children 2) do I like fried foods 3) do I want to step on a 3 year olds finger near the arcade space If you can answer yes to all three of these questions, this place is for you! Soooo many kids. So many unsupervised kids. This place actually made me very nervous. My husband and I ventured out to this location for our nephews birthday party. We have a 3 month old, so we took him along. I literally almost tripped over multiple kids. The staff were not saying to any of the children, don't run, don't lay on the floor...it was just a free for all. The food was o k. It is all fried. They have a couple of salads. I don't recommend coming too hungry because you will just eat a bunch of snacks. It's a bit messy as well. I believe I saw a couple gnats at the bar. Now the 8 year old whose party it was loved it. They have a nice party room in the back where kids can host functions. They assign waitstaff for your particular party and they are to help with everything. The young lady assigned to us did just that. read more

This place is such a racket. Every game is $1.00 or more and takes 30 seconds or less so if you load $20 on the kids card it's gone in less than 15 minutes. If you have 3 kids, do the math. It is so not worth it unless you're willing to spend $100 or more for 30 minutes of playing the same 8 games over and over. And forget it if they're under the age of 5. The food at the restaurant is atrocious. The whole place is a hot mess. Never again. read more

I have to say for looks this place is it. It's very appealing to the eye. It's clean and newer. The service was decent as well. Went with a group of kids and adults. We had a lot of issues with our lane which was kind of annoying, but I get it. I had to ask for time to be added back on our lane, and I was given a hard time the second time. The real reason im giving 3 stars is because an inhaler was left behind by one of the kids I was with and when I called first thing the next day, no one had a clue. Now I know most businesses are not responsible for lost items, but we left pretty late, and they clean each table as soon as the group leaves, because we watched this happen quite a few times next to us. It's an inhaler, like why would you throw it away, and why would someone it. I think they should get a better system at when kids or anyone for that matter leaves a prescription behind. read more

This place is so fun and there are a ton of things to do for all ages. I went with a group of girlfriends and did an escape room. Definitely the highest quality one I've done. We were so scared by the effects that we didn't make it out "alive." They also offer many other fun things to do like bowling, laser tag, and arcade games. We went mid day on a Sunday and it wasn't too busy at all. For the adults they have a bar with a ton of beers on draft at great prices. The new beer zone outside is awesome. Tons of seating, cornhole, outdoor bar, and fire pits. They have a huge tv outside that makes this space a great choice to watch any Pittsburgh sports games. The only reason I thought this place didn't deserve all 5 stars is that I felt like the food was subpar. You could tell it was made quickly and doesn't have much flavor to it. I will definitely return for a fun night out or to watch some games and have a couple drinks! read more

I wish I could give this place a higher review, but I can't. We went on a Saturday night, it seemed really promising when we arrived, it wasn't too busy at all. We sat ourselves and our server greeted us in the next few minutes. They took our drink and appetizer orders, brought us our drinks and didn't come back for another 30 minutes. When we did receive our appetizer is was the wrong item. Finally, after another 20 minute wait with no app, we decided it was best to pay for our drinks and leave. This place isn't lacking any potential, it just has lousy service. Our sever was taking care of multiple large parties by themselves. It wasn't entirely their fault they didn't come back for a half hour. I can't review the food because I didn't try it. I'm sure other aspects of this place are better but we didn't stay long enough to find that out read more

Fun time in the VIP room, but everything except the bathrooms is updated and they are gross!! Do your business before you come. Don't take the risk!! read more

By far one of the cleanest establishments we've been too. We have been here on a weekly basis for the past month and every time we're here during the day the staff is on their hands and knees (literally) cleaning and scrubbing every nook and cranny (the lights, the bar seats.) You can't beat the early bird bowling special with two hours of unlimited bowling for only $8 a person. Great for kids. The food is not the best but certainly expectable for bowling alley food . We will be back!! read more

Went in on a Wednesday for happy hour, Bartender Dominique was ON POINT! it isn't often u get a bartender who knows their craft beer so well, down to the different types of hops. the food could have been a little better but Domi gets 5 stars, we will be back to see her for SURE! Pay her well... she's a rarity read more

I cannot give this place low enough reviews. We were there on a saturday before a holiday and it was so short staffed. It didnt even have enough staffing for the birthday parties there let alone for walk ins. They had one person in each restaurant working. Dozens of people walked out. We talked to some locals who stated this was typical. We spoke to some sort of manager who seemed not only unapologetic, but also he seemed unconcerned. He was extremely unprofessional. I would never go there for any reason. read more

Previously known as FunFest, Zone 28 has a slightly new look and feel, with some familiar favorites. - Bowling, which has better computer systems than I remember and more kid-friendly features (e.g. automatic bumpers, tons of low-weight balls, etc.) - Bumper cars and laser tag - Brand new sports bar - VIP bowling area (can be rented for private events) - Snack bar - Three party areas (can be rented for private events) - Billiards too - Arcade, which is packed with games for all ages - and most dispense tickets (tickets are easy to keep track of on your game card) My chief complaint is the price as compared to other bowling alleys with similar amenities. Zone 28 is rather expensive for a small family. Expect to spend $40-60 just to bowl and grab a snack or play some games. read more

Great place for kids Party's. Had two party's here so far. Looking for fun in the Valley? This is the place.

this was the worst experience ever!!!!!...i had the worst birthday ever!!!!..staff was horrible management horrible!!!! ...party room horrible bowling experience horrible!!!!...i would not recommed this establishment to my worst enemy!!!!!! read more

Full fun, excitement and most importantly, felt like a little kid again. Considering where I grew up, I did not experience a true arcade. The closes thing to that was the mall. Later on in life, the casino. Now, since I have moved to the area recently, I finally experienced a beautiful and flashy arcade. Full of all kinds of games to play, including alien themed lazer tag, which I never played before. Not only is it great for kids, but great for adults as well. read more

PRICEY!! 28 bucks for 4 pretzels and small sodas. Most games are $0.50 - $1.00!! Even Dave and Buster's is cheaper! read more

Just went to the new "Beer Garden" at Zone 28, looks awesome, have corn hole and an abundance of games. However, it was an atrocious experience. Our food came out 10-15 minutes at a time (we had 10 people), my "margarita" was syrup with little to no alcohol. After I was asked how it was, I said, "very sugary", I was told, "that's what you get when you order a margarita" (clearly). It was disgusting. We weren't given napkins, and it took the table 15 minutes to get our first drinks. Service was bad in the first place, but it was also terribly understaffed. Hopefully they can clean it up and get it together. To end on a positive note, the trio tacos were good. The pulled pork taco was the best. read more

The service at the bar was not good. Very slow, waited 35 minutes just to get told "I'll be with you one minute". And the bar wasn't that busy. Other than that, the server that came to us at the bowling lanes was amazing. Laser tag and the arcade was so much fun!! read more

I tried to like this place. I went there for the 2nd time last evening and it will probably be the last. It's a shame, they seemed to have made a lot of upgrades and it's close to my home. The Good: the staff is friendly. They seem to employee younger folks, and they have always been polite and helpful. It's always been hectic and busy on my visits and the staff keeps up with the work. They seems to have invested a lot into the technology of the bowling lanes. Tons of nice new screens, terminals, and the like (although ours was giving us issues last night and we had to reset a few times, taking away from our bowling time which is a by the hour rate.). If you have a group of 5 you can split the cost and it's quite affordable. The Bad. FOOD. This place is ridiculous when it comes to food prices. Last night I ordered chicken tenders (I got 4 small pieces), a piece of pizza, order of fries and 2 fountain sodas...came to $21. These are frozen, throw in the deep fryer, fast food type items. To make matters worse, as the cashier was ringing up my items I noticed they were coming up at different prices that what are listed on their menu (it's a giant screen, digital-can be updated easily). My chicken tenders were listed at 6.99..rang up at 7.99. 2.75 pizza, rang up $3, and so on. $4 bottles of domestic beer, $3 drafts...this isn't an upscale craft brew artisan dining establishment, I have no idea what they are thinking. I can't imagine taking a group of children here for a family outing, it would be well over a hundred dollars to bowl and feed a family of 4 and bowl for 2 hours. *4/6/16-I should mention that I didn't bring the error in pricing to the attention of the cashier at my time of purchase. He seemed a bit busy, and appeared to be 16(ish), I didn't want to further burden him having to get his manager or add to to his tasks. I just wanted my food to be prepared (he had to ring it up and then go make it). I should have taken the time to bring this to the attention of the staff at my visit. Even if my price would have been adjusted to the menu pricing it was still waaaaay over what I'm willing to pay at a bowling alley. read more

I thought the pizza was decent . The bowling is good too... first time here. It's neat because you can take s picture for when your name pops up when it's your turn! the bathrooms ... are disgusting though. They reek. There is shit literally encrusted on the toilet seats... every single one. Also, a piece of shit on the ground. Mind you, we came at 11 am... so it's not like it was "after a long day"... I think if the bathrooms were more sanitary, I would be a bigger advocate for this place. Not sure if their prices are a good deal either. I wouldn't necessarily advocate for this place. But it wasn't terrible. Update : Bartender was nice Update: Toilet leaked on me read more

FYI the free game of bowling offered by Yelp is not accepted or recognized at zone 28- they young man behind the bowling counter even asked the manager who said no this offer is not accepted. I took my 6 year old daughter and 4 year old nephew- we bowled and it was a lot of fun and the lanes have bumpers accessible. Then we hit the game area where the kids played ice ball(skee ball) for about an hour. Only 25 cents per game! The place is a lot of fun and both kids left happy- I really wish the yelp free bowling offer was accepted read more

We had my son's 5th birthday party in the VIP Suite 28. Planning with Tina went great. She was very responsive and prompt. However, when we got to FunFest on the day of my son's party she was not there and the manager who was there had no idea what she was doing. We arrived at 9:30 a.m. to set up for the party but the manager kept telling us that we did not have the space reserved and it was reserved for another party. After I briefly panicked, I showed her proof that the party was booked and deposit paid for under my name. She did not know what to do and asked if I needed all of the lanes because the other party needed them. I said, "Yes, I need all of the lanes. I paid for all four lanes." She then proceeded to tell me that they needed to put up the separation wall in the party room but that we could start setting up. The floors were sticky, the trash hadn't been empty or cleaned from their last party. They were scrambling to get it in decent shape as we were trying to set up. We went to use the restroom and there was a spilled cup of beer laying on the floor (I guess from the previous night) and the drain cover was displaced from a drain in the floor causing a big hole in the floor as soon as you walked in. After we told them about this, they took care of it. I would think they would have a cleaning service come in before they would open for business the next day but, I guess not. I rented the VIP space because there was a bar with a soda fountain in that space but the unlimited soft drinks I paid for came in pitchers from a different location. I would not complain about this if I would have paid for a regular room but why are you not utilizing the soda fountain that is right in our space? I also ordered unlimited Icee drinks and thought that they would have the machine set up in that space since it was one of the options offered. Again, no. They brought us Icee drinks in pitchers and when we went to pour them they were frozen and nothing would come out. Our poor party attendant had to spend all his time going back and forth filling up Icee drinks for my guests in individual cups. The party attendant was great but was unprepared in terms of knowing what we had ordered ahead of time. Our party should have been relayed to the staff the day before so that everyone could have been prepared for our arrival. Also, I was under the impression when I booked the space that I would have the entire VIP space for my party. That was not the case as the other party was there. I did speak with Tina beforehand though and she let me know about the other party that was going to be there. But, you could tell by the faces of the people from the other party that they did not know that my party was going to be in that space at the same time as theirs. This should really be made clear on the website during booking the space. My guests didn't notice most of these hiccups which I am glad but I certainly did not appreciate what I had to go through that morning to make sure everything was right. Overall, would I rent the space again? Probably not. But, my son and his guests very much enjoyed it so it was worth the frustrations in the end. read more

If you're looking for a place to go bowling, this is not the place. this place sucks. don't go. management is not good or polite. I paid for an hour for a lane. when i asked to extend my bowling time i was denied because other people were coming in. at the end of my hour our food was just getting there and they were also kicking us out of our lane at the same time. also there isn't even a ball shop there, just a lot of people drinking. read more

Terrible service. Got severe attitude from both bartenders for no reason. My food got taken away and took over an hour for pretzels. Then one bartender told me she was done and couldn't serve me and then proceeded to serve a guy next to me! Either they don't like girls or they didn't like me, but I literally just asked nicely for food and drinks. Pretty weird. read more

I used to freq this place back when it was funfest. We use to have a blast. A few of us went on a monday. It wasnt overly busy (like its known to be). We started our games, got our drinks and ord ered food. Well, our food never came. Went to the restaurant, was told to sit where ever. Informed them i was checking on food ordered almost an hour prior. The looks were priceless. The supervisor (who looked to be maybe 18) took our receipt and went to the back and returned. They never nade our food. Now i could understand "maybe" if they were busy. But the place had 1 customer. And he was passed out drunk at the bar There were a GROUP of employees behind the counter, just talking. And obviously not doing what they were suppose to. Not a very good first impression. I was asked if i still wanted my fiod. I said no. I needed a refund. Our games were almost over and we were leaving ( not to mention the wasted time we had to investigate). Zone 28- get your shit together. read more

I'm from jersey, so I have experience with poor service, but this place hits a new low. On a Monday night 8/5, We sat outside in the "beer garden" and the waitress told us that the bar outside only had the standard domestics. The bar inside (about ten yards away) had a wide craft selection, but she sighed and said that she would have to go and get those from that bar and that she didn't have the beer list. I went in and got it myself, sorry to trouble you, lazy pants. She was a brilliant mix of incompetence and indifference Mind you, it was a summer Monday, three tables of people and three regulars at the bar. She only got four of our five food orders right. And when we had a sixth person join us late from work and we called her attention to the fact that he needed a drink and to put in a food order, we got at least three "I'll be right with you"s over the next half hour while she brought out one or two coors light bottles at a time. The light crowd clearly had her overwhelmed and under enthusiastic. After 35 minutes when she came to take our order (without the slightest apology or acknowledgment for how long we waited), our sixth guest decided that he was so frustrated that he no longer wanted to order and verbalized such to our server. She then brought the check again without acknowledging the wait. I'm sure not all the servers there are as bad as she was, but I don't think I will be going back on our next trips to town to find out. Unfortunately the outdoor setup and tv is nice but I'll be spending my entertainment dollar where the servers don't treat us like an inconvenience. Oh, by the way, The food was ok bar food and the craft beer selection was actually decent, but good luck getting it served to you. read more
