Great atmosphere. A little spent but overall happy.

The is mostly for the arcade. Half the games didn’t work or were partially broken, no water, they said there were drinks upstairs but bar was closed. No soap in bathrooms.

Great location and facilities. Nice bowling lanes. Food was great as well.

Bowling here is rough. The lanes are so dry. If they own a lane machine to oil the lanes, they are neglecting to use it. The vibe of this place is super casual, everyone uses a house ball, kinda thing, but that shouldn't excuse not maintaining the lanes, especially for the premium price they're charging. Also, it's impossible to slide up to the lane with bowling shoes. We own our own shoes and never have a problem sliding. Just go to a Kingpins or really any other bowling alley. If you're management, please add a cleaning routine for the area before the lanes. This really shouldn't be an issue. And oil your lanes more.

I really like this place. The food is really good. They've got pretty good beer and the service is pretty good as well. Some of the lanes kept messing up , but that's about all that wasn't great!

My wife and I had our wedding afterparty at Grand Central recently. It was PERFECT! Haley was so helpful with the planning, and more than willing to work with us to create something special. The staff is excellent, the food was great. I would highly recommend a full buyout of Grand Central for your wedding afterparty (or any private event!) if you're looking for something that is unique and fun!

This place sucks so bad. Go to King pins, you’ll get a much better experience. Okay so we went a few weeks ago. The total was over $100 , so we tried paying with cash and they said they couldn’t take our $100 bill because they’ve had a lot of fraud issues lately. How the hell is that my problem? Money is money there is multiple ways to check bills. There were a lot of ball weights unavailable. They literally don’t have enough balls for everyone which is ridiculous. Our lane broke down halfway through so they made us move over. This place is run down, over priced and when they didn’t take our money we should have just left right then and there.

Extremely disappointing experience. We waited a long time without being acknowledged or served, and when we finally voiced our frustration, we were told to leave if we didn’t like the service. That kind of attitude says everything about how this place values its customers.

I’d recommend thinking twice before spending your money here—there are plenty of other sports bars that actually appreciate their guests and understand basic customer service.

Great service! Jessica was our bartender and was so fast, and went the extra mile for us. If Jessica is taking care of you, you will be in great hands :)

It's a nice place but bowling, the lanes were completely dry, like not just dry conditions, no hint of oil at all. I threw a urathane ball down just to be sure, came back completely dry :( Nice place though, nice staff, bowling is pretty expensive for gimmicky dry lanes

$13 for a margarita with an undetectable amount of tequila in a short glass and a table salt rim is crazy. One of my friends got a cocktail as well and also couldn't taste any alcohol and neither of us got a buzz. I literally also overheard other people complaining about the drinks. Don't waste your money on the drinks here, you'll just get ripped off.

Great spot to watch sports and play arcade games! Wanna give a shoutout to the employees at the bar Sam, Ashley, and Jessica. They served me and my friends during the Oregon - Montana State game and it was top notch! Will be back again for another watch party soon!
