YUCK! I have never been to a worse bowling alley in my life! The bathrooms were disgusting (humid, no vents, no locks, doors falling off) and the bowling pins danced on strings!!! I took a video, they looked possessed by ghosts. XD We got hit by the bowling balls while playing because the machines literally spit them out at you. It was a nightmare. At least my company was rad otherwise this night would have sucked.
Smelly, dank, poorly-maintained garbage zone populated by a weird mixture of longsuffering scowlers and dude-bros who hang out drinking with customers and then wander behind the counter to chit-chat with people triyng to do work. The bowling equipment is not maintained at all – overzealous ball return literally knocks balls onto your feet, pinsetters take five or six attempts to set up your pins – and the washrooms are humid, fecally-scented jungles with broken stall doors and no paper towels. Don't waste your time.
The bowling itself was tons of fun, spending time with friends being fools! But the service and environment was terrible. When our first round of ten-pin was cut short, we had to fight with the woman behind the counter to give us the rest of the time we had already paid for. We were then overcharged for our next game of five-pin, and though several of the lanes were open and unreserved, we were put in the darkest corner where it was harder to see what we were doing and harder to enjoy ourselves. The concession counter was ignored by the employees the entire night, even though it was open, and being the only one in our group that was of age, I had to go into the bar just to ask for a pitcher of water — but was not given glasses, and was told to ask for cups at the concessions counter. When we did that, we were flat out refused cups, even paper cups. It's frustrating, because on one hand we did enjoy ourselves, on our own behalf, but we'll definitely be taking our business elsewhere from now on, if we can help it.
They let you have food & drinks while bowling which is uber-cool, but the service is excruciatingly slow. I think I prefer smaller bowling places
Great place to bowl although to many tournaments going on while you are there
