They charge you $ 0.50 to use a credit card. I know it’s «legal» now, but who’s actually cheap enough to do it? I guess this place.

They are a little pricey some days of the week. But if you want to go bowling they have I think 25 lanes. Try to get in early or during the week as they have $.99 games. On Sunday’s they need to open the bar up, I’ve been in there if a group of people who wanted beer and we probably would have had a healthy tab. I think they miss out of some review there. If bowling isn’t your game they have a dozen pool tables and video games as well. They try to have a lot for kids to do around there, which not having any myself is kind of a drag sometimes. I miss the days of the old smoke filled bowling alley that is more bar then athletic venue. But that’s more of a commentary on our times then an indictment of this establishment. All in all its a fun place to go bowl and the staff is very nice as well.

Outdated, dingy and dirty! Lanes don’t work correctly, bumpers malfunction and the shoes are falling apart. They don’t have enough employes to run the front desk and the snack counter let alone help with all the lane malfunctions. Very disappointing.

I threw a kid’s birthday party here. I feel the rates at the time were a good deal. Unfortunately the rates have changed in the last couple years & yet they haven’t updated their place to make it worth going back. We also paid extra for a party room that was supposed to be set up for us when we got there… IT WASN’T! Luckily I am OCD & very prepared. I scurried around frantically setting up tables, chairs, & prepping the room for a party. They didn’t even have plates, cups, napkins, etc. for them like they promised. I asked in advance to be sure since I would have bought theme ones if not. So we had to go up to the concessions & use whatever they had behind the counter. Really disappointing. Thankfully the kids didn’t notice all the confusion & enjoyed the party.
