Local bar with decent food and cold drinks
Nice local bowling alley
Fun stop for the family. We bowled a game, and spent the rest of the time in the arcade. It was surprisingly quiet for a weekend.
Bowling is fairly priced, but don't forget socks or you'll be paying 5$ a pair.
The arcade is expensive, but everything was working and the kids had fun. The coin drop games are a crock, and the pool table will take your credits if ya don't do it perfectly.
Overall, got what we came for, and we would visit again.
Friendly staff. Busy place so obviously well liked! Everything was clean and well maintained. The only thing is we wanted to bowl but noticed they had bowling leagues most of the week when we could go. No big deal, they have tons of other games! Just would've liked to bowl. BUT that will not stop us from going back. Our waitress Samantha was super awesome and attentive. The games were fun, and prices were reasonable. I definitely recommend this place!
I had a grand time bowling, playing pinball and such.
I go here from time to time for the bone in sweet chile wings. They are so good. I always I’m enjoy the stuff here as they are attentive and fun to be around. You can expect a fun crowd when going here
Lots of pinball machines bowling and an arcade and bar.
Always loved Blaine brook. Grew up here as a kid and its pretty much stayed the same. They've added a TON of pinball machines in the recent years and I enjoy going there to play them. Bowling prices are very fair and the lanes are nice.
So the place looks old but the prices are great. There was some renovating when we went so this may change. There are ways for kids to bowl for free during certain times which is nice. The arcade is pretty decent and prices are great there too. When I went $20 gets you 100pts and most games were around 4pts per game. We went through about 50 pts in a half hour. Highly recommend.
Bowling staff and waitresses are super nice.
Very cheap/reasonable prices, and little to no wait the earlier in the day that you go. Pricing and Calendar Info is easy to find on their website.
Was very clean the last time I was there, with plenty of lanes open. Would recommend.

First time here but loved it
Boring
Sadly I think it's kinda understaffed I believe and the bar tenders are a lil rude... I used to love BlaineBrook but not so sure. The large pizza was a 2 out of 10 definitely would rather eat Casey's pizza. Bowling on the other hand fun great. The waitress as well ooof pretty rude. I feel as if the staff is unhappy an underpaid probably or just understaffed...
Good place to bowl. Bowling, video games, pro shop, and bar.
Bowling is fine. The service is unfortunately wanting. This bowling hall has potential, although I would not say it is family-friendly. The bar area was packed with few people in the bowling area and less in the arcade. I can't talk about the food as it took 40 minutes to just receive a pitcher to drink for my group. And was not checked back with for anything else to order. Also, the fact that the server gave my card back to a person in my party as opposed to me was very questionable.
