Always a good time… great food and love the bowling and live music!

I came to support my band, who was playing that night (I wasn’t performing myself), and I grabbed a water from the band cooler—something I thought was fine since I was invited by my band. A staff member approached me and, instead of calmly explaining that the water wasn’t for everyone, he ripped it out of my hands, cussed me out, and accused me of stealing. He then went on to complain loudly to other staff, and I was pointed out and watched by security for the rest of the night… all over a bottle of water.
Had someone simply explained the policy, I would’ve gladly put it back or paid for it—no issue. But the way I was treated was completely unnecessary and over the top. After that incident, other staff were dismissive and rude as well for the rest of the evening.
Needless to say, I won’t be coming back, and I definitely won’t be playing or booking anything here in the future. If you’re looking to have a good night, this is not the place—unless you enjoy being disrespected

maybe get a better manager who doesn't run customers off. I use to like coming here and eat lunch. take this one off my list.

Went to a concert and opened a tab, when ready to leave I closed the tab. When I got home I had 2 charges one for the tab and one for $35 even. I called the venue the lady said it happens everyday and the money will be back in 3 days. 3 days later still no money. I tried calling phone was busy. So I show up and talk to the owner he was no help blamed my bank. Now I’m disputing charges and jumping through more hoops. I’ll be filing a claim with the better business bureau, a police report and a civil suit. If the money is not back in my account. Also will never be a returning customer.

Touring musician/drummer/hired gun here. When I walked to for load-in I didn’t see any staff so it was under obvious assumption that the stage I see when I get inside is where the bands are potentially playing. Instead of being told “Hey the stage is here instead,” I got scolded and unnecessarily lectured by the bald guy with the tattoos about how to communicate and do my job. He further said how he’s never seen anyone in his career do something like that. Never felt so unwelcome to play a show. Was told by other bands that they were getting the same cold vibe from this guy as well.

It's a bowling alley.

I’ve been playing there for years, and I’ve had nothing but good experiences. It’s truly a special place in Youngstown. Nate and his crew has always looked out for the community as a whole.
Can’t recommend this place enough, whether your local, a touring band, or just somebody from out of town you should definitely check the place out.

The pickle pizza was good! Nice atmosphere and friendly employees. I just didn't like that there is no automatic scoring.
It's a fun place to go for music, drinks and bowling! Theonly reason I'm giving 3 stars is because your some of your employees need to learn about hygiene! All of the bowling balls i touched were so sticky and dirty I had to wash my hands multiple times. I also witnessed one of the employees go to the restroom and walk out without washing his hands because he didn't want to wait for the person in front of him.

got kicked out of a show i drove hours to for vaping. i’ve never smoked a cigarette or vaped in my life, and i don’t smoke weed in any capacity. even the people around me were arguing that i didn’t do anything. ruined my weekend and wasted a bunch of money. i really enjoyed being at this venue for the first time until this incident and was talking to my friends about how i wanted to return. the bartenders and rest of the staff are great, venue is super cool, but whatever security they’re contracting ruined all of that.

Cool vibe. There was a group of drunk people. A couple were quite rude and tried to take our belongings along with other people's. The business took care of it, pretty quickly, after it was brought to their attention.

I didn't care for the place. I went to see a band instead. I saw fights. No return for me. 3 strike I'm done
Bob Darnley
The place was fun and we had a great. But the bowling pricing is outrageous. 10 dollars a person that 120 dollars they per hours for the 12 of us on 2 lanes. We played 3 hours for 360(seriously). The next had 4 people could play many games, we bearly made 3 games in 3 hours.
