Tremendous experience. Had the game of a lifetime (not, not a 300,) and was treated to absolutely stellar service. Malcom, the bartender, took care of us and made sure the pitchers were filled to the brim. The people at this alley make the difference

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older kids who can overlook maintenance issues for the classic bowling experience and arcade games. Expect to pay premium prices and potentially deal with lane problems that may frustrate younger bowlers. Not recommended for families needing accessibility accommodations.

⏰Expect potential 30+ minute waits on weekend evenings

β€œStandard no frills, old school bowling alley. Good time and solid arcade options. Full bar with good drinks but pretty pricey in my opinion.”

β€œNot my first time coming here and no matter what I usually have a good time. Not sure if it’s just this time but every time someone would roll a bowling ball, it would keep rolling to the side.. I believed the lanes weren’t oiled. Therefore it wasn’t that fun since most of the time our bowling ball would just roll to the side, hitting no pins. Also, almost every time it was someone else’s turn and the pins would reset it would always never happen aka we would always have to ask the staff to fix it and it happened for almost every turn which was really annoying. Other than that we still tried to make the most of it despite of it. There was a mini arcade too.”
