We are at this place all the time spending a good amount of money to bowl here mostly the two hour special. It is sad that I paid over 37 dollars for me and my daughter to play and have a good time just to have to sit and waist most of our time with a broken lane over and over again. The workers see us there all the time and don't move us or say sorry here's added time for you or nothing. We lost probably half our time waiting for them to fix our lane, ball stuck returns, and dead woods over and over. This was absolutely ridiculous to me this time and I lost all respect to pay and play here. The fact that they just sat back and allowed this to continue over and over knowing we paid by the hour and did nothing about it.

Great price, great way to kill a few hours on the weekday or for a get together or birthday on the weekend. However service in the restaurant/ bar is hit or miss especially on the bowling side.

My husband caught the bartender and the server with pink hair stealing. They charged him double for his meal and when he brought it up they did not reverse the charge but gave him cash back. When he brought it up to his teammates one of them remembered being charged double last week and then having a second charge the next day.

Check your receipts and don't trust the staff. They're clearly shady.

I’m disappointed that the upstairs party room is not family friendly or disabled friendly. No where on the website does it state their party room is not accessible to handicap people or strollers/wagons. So with that being said after driving in two hours alone with twin 1 year old for a family party you can imagine my frustration of having to ask people to hold my babies while I dragged their 100lbs+ wagon up the stairs because the website failed to mention this party room is not handicap or family friendly. It’s 2025 we have to do better than this. There needs to be something added to your website that there is no way to get children accessories or wheelchairs/walkers to the second floor unless planned on dragging it up a flight of stairs yourself.

Advertised Kentucky Derby then show up no live gambling on the Derby only on an app. Nope. Never again. No mention of this on social media or website. Boooo

Great local bowling place.

Larger bowling alley compared to others in the area. It's an older facility, needs a little updating for signage.

Bowled a few times and ate there before. Decent but nothing that really stand out to me. My biggest gripe I have is the use of AI art on their pages rather than finding a real artist/graphic designer. Consider finding local high school students and give em free bowling for that season.
