Bowlski's Lakewood Theater

“The hours on Google do not match the website. Any local business today needs to ensure they match. My daughter and I showed up for lunch and bowling on a Friday expecting it to be open and were disappointed to learn they were closed, contra Google hours. When I have actually been admitted the experience is pretty good. It's much cheaper than other bowling and food combo options in town.”

“This place has sooooo much potential. It could be such a vibe and great spot. 6 years being open…… NOTHING works. None of the “arcade” games work….. the bowling is horrible. Not only are the balls absolutely filthy… my hands were black from using them. But the balls constantly got stuck, the pins wouldn’t work… the poor staff which was two kids.. were running back and forth constantly. The bar roof was leaking right where we were ordering our drinks.. the sewage is messed up as the entire place smells like sewer. Honestly really disappointed since there is so much potential.”

“This place was tragic. The atmosphere was great, nice details, but everything else was just abysmal. As soon as we entered, we were overwhelmed with a vile rotten sewage smell that proceeded through the entire building. The smell was so rancid that everyone in my group noticed immediately and quietly pointed it out to each other. Then they only had one employee running the front desk, who was clearly stressed out and dealing with a dysfunctional system that barely worked, and trying to micromanage everything at once. He told me he had only gotten there a couple hours prior, but he looked like he’d been stuck there the entire day. He was very apologetic and trying desperately to work through the diabolical conditions and smell, and I can applaud his efforts tremendously. The icing on the cake was the price and ending. 103 dollars for 6 players for one full game, instead they set up a 1 hour timer, which immediately cut all power to the game as soon as the hour was up, rather than just preventing us from starting a new game after our round was done. It cut off our game before finishing when we paid for a full game. I can’t even express how immensely disappointed I am that this place is in business at all, and the most rewarding part of it was the existence of a gumball machine that actually did work. I went out of my way to write a review despite never writing reviews for anything because the world needs to know just how much this place should be avoided.”
