They are tearing it down. So enjoy it while it last.

The staff is the best, attentive and courteous, there's a terrific selection of arcade games including skee-ball, there's plenty of space for large events, and although they only have about 8 lanes there is enough room for everyone to bowl and relax comfortably. Highly recommend for locals and visitors alike!

We took our 9 year old in with a few friends, and the staff couldn’t have been any nicer. The server stuck by us even though we weren’t really drinking alcohol. Owner spoke to us and gave her a bowling pin cup for her birthday. This place deserves 5 stars.

So much fun going bowling - having a full bar and a delicious kitchen menu adds to the fun, and then there are also old school video games like Frogger and Galaga, and pinball and skee ball too ❣️

Went the other day with my family and I love that it is the age accepted is 21+ after 8 pm. Good music, good vibes, love the arcade games. Decent price drinks. We didn't try the food, but it seems like it would be good. We bowled for one hour for $45 for 3 people (shoes included). Wish we could have more time but I understood that they usually get busy around the late night and they wanted to give others a chance to play. Will be back in the future.

They made us leave as soon as we walked in due to them saying it was 21 and up only after 8pm. I had my 6 year old son and 12 year old daughter with me and there were not any other patrons even in the place.They weren't even remotely nice about it and that information was not posted anywhere

Poorly maintained pinball. Why have Stern Premiums and treat them with no love :(

Lanes are over oiled. Idk who had the audacity to do the oil job on the far right lane but my boys ball was going right gutter huggin to left gutter before any pins hit. Will want this checked out before I’m back

I went to the Alley for the first time last night, the lanes were all busy so I didn't get to play. But the whole place was so cool and chill. We enjoyed some hoops and arcade games with a beer! Definitely a good time when it's cold out side. Next time I hope to bowl but I would come again. Everyone was nice there.

I think most places in Charleston capitalize on the tourism, or at least the whimsy of smooth brained residents. The Alley is overpriced, the food is average, and parking is a nightmare. I'd recommend people come here once only to say they've visited.Otherwise, you're better off driving to west ashley or summerville for some actual affordable bowling.
Kids loved the place. Weds evenings has happy hour and free retro arcade games. Kids played trigger, galaga and nba jam. They weren't as enthused about the old school Simpsons. Cheese sticks, nachos, and Philly cheese steak egg rolls were good for bar food. Bartender was great and attentive. ambiance was fun and the retro arcade games bring back and made lots of new memories.

Video games need to actually work and they need more since it takes hours to bowl.

We went the other day for a different adventure. This place is amazing! We went on a friday and it wasn't too busy considering it was the holiday season. We boed one game and had the best time. The arcade was a huge hit with families! There is also a lot of food and drink options as well. It was a lot of fun. Can't wait to go back soon!

Cool as heck hole in the wall place.Bowling is a great price. Drinks a bit over priced, but I get it.
