Wow! Weird vibes from this place. No one was in there on a Friday night, bar tenders were both trashed especially the short girl with the backwards hat. This place won't last long.

This place is fun! My husband and I don't drink but the bar seemed really nice. We tried the ax throwing. I didn't like how the employees had to interact with us the entire time...I would've enjoyed it more if they took more of a backseat while we enjoyed our date. But they're suggestions were helpful and my husband discovered a new skill. The place was very clean

"Family Friendly" doesn't really mean "Kid Friendly". We went because of the Kids Bowl Free program, but found our after we paid for shoes and 2 adult games that they don't have bumpers, which was a huge bummer. The staff was nice but my 4 & 7 year olds lost interest easily when they kept throwing gutter balls.

This place is great to take a family. Bowling, arcade, food. Our kids had a great time yesterday. Great place for brunch! Super fun for kids. Good food. NOTE: Not the same owners as Goodnight. We want this place to stick around. North Central families you need to go!

We went bowling on Thursday evening and was so impressed with the customer service. The staff was fantastic and very accommodating. I will be going back.

A nice spot for a good night out. Bowling, axe throwing, shuffle board and a patio for hanging out. Load of TV and they're happy to change the channel. Not a huge beer list but many locals and typically have a few IPA like electric jellyfish or Celis Juicy on tap at about $6-7 for a pint. Overall a nice spot in the area and a good spot for a night out with a group.

I liked the mimosa a lot and the pretzels with the mustard .it was empty and the servers are excellent as well. The Caprese sandwich had too much pesto but the atmosphere was great. Hubby liked the pinthouse electric jellyfish ipa okY. I got extra oj fir my Mimosa. I thought the severs were very knowledgeable and will be back for late night dining. If I was not so full I would have tried the fried twinkies or the salads . The brunch and regular menu looked good.it used to be the good night and the vibe is much better and friendlier under new ownership.I heard it was a local chain and if that is the case then I feel good supporting a local business.

Top Notch Place!! Had a company event at the Anderson location recently and Brooke, Adam and Maudie (sp?) took us in and made us feel like family! They made everything PERFECT!! Their GM, Joseph has the best customer service skills which explains how his staff follows closely behind! Their event coordinator, Johanna was also very helpful and responded to emails very quickly! The axe-throwing activity was a HIT and their arcade has great choices for games!! Their food was good as well but all in all, their customer service made us want to come back again!! Thanks, everyone- for your A+ Service!!!

Good food, decent bowling (no bumpers) HORRIBLE MUSIC!!! The worst music ever, I'm actually throwing up in my mouth as I write about this. Makes me feel like I'm in a bar in a shopping center in Dallas...barf.

Made a reservation here to go bowling for a friend's birthday. Went to dinner beforehand and we were running a bit late, so we called High 5 to let them know that we would be running late and to make sure we could keep the reservation. The woman on the phone assured us that things were slow and it would be no problem. When we arrived, we were all a bit off-put by the vibe, which felt a little sterile for our tastes. The price to bowl was a lot higher than we had expected, and since it was our friend's birthday we wanted to make sure it was the right place to celebrate. We asked the man for a couple of minutes to discuss, and instead of professionally asking us to give up our reservation, he mocked us for not liking the vibe and scolded us like he was our father about being late and how many people were waiting behind us, even though we had let the establishment know that we would be late to avoid this exact situation. By this point, we were sure this was not the place to celebrate a birthday, and decided to leave. He proceeded to aggressively follow us and lectured us about how many people wanted to bowl and how we shouldn't have been late and how High 5 was way better than a more traditional bowling alley. It was an alarming experience - I'm glad he didn't successfully pressure us into staying and spending our money there, if that was any indicator of the kind of service and experience to be had at High 5. Won't be back.

Poor service. Only people at the restuarant/arcade. They ended our bowling game and we hadn't even finished one game. We would understand if others were waiting but again we were the only people there. This was a game we paid $86 for... that is ridiculous. After the game abruptly ended, it took the waitress 15 min to bring us our checks.

This was a fun place to go to! Lots of drinks, bowling, arcade games, and good vibes to go all-around. A little pricey for the drinks but the Happy Hour deals make up for it before 7 PM. Definitely a fun place to go to if you are in a group of people.

This place looked really cool in the photos so my dad, sisters and cousins decided to try there bowling out (Do note bowling is our thing I'm 22 and my dad has taken us since Since I was a baby) we get there on Monday around 7:30pm and the place was empty only about 7 customers. My dad paid 90$ for 1hour for 2 lanes and 5 pairs of bowling shoes . My dad has been bowling for about 35 years and after his first bowl he wasn't happy with the lanes. The lanes weren't waxed and slippery like they're supposed to be, the lanes were crooked and all the bowling balls kept going to one side , and the pins and bowling balls kept getting stuck we had to keep pressing that button to fix the pins and to bring back our bowling balls. My cousin had 2 strikes and it didn't count them, I had 1 strike and it didn't count it. 35 minutes into the game our lane (the girls) just shut off , and all the lights were off like if our hour had passed. I asked the boy at the counter if our hour was up because we didn't want to keep playing because my dads lane for the guys was still going , the boy said we still had 25 minutes and used his Wallis talkie to call some guy to turn our lane back on and my dad had had enough and we told them we were going to leave. This man said "don't tell me y'all are tired already" in a joking Manner and we ignored him because we had only bad things to say. Once my cousin told him he told us "well we haven't heard anything bad, y'all are the first" and walked off. Being so empty we should have known it wouldn't have been a good idea to bowl there, because the main event was way packed and more affordable then this place. It was our lost but know we know not to go there again!

From the moment you walk in, they are trying to fleece you. Like, ridiculously. Like pickpocket ragamuffins with go-go gadget arms from the T2000 Terminator. The bowling is an eye popping $38 an hour -- before shoe rentals. With the right songs, an hour of lap dances is cheaper at the strip club. You literally have to pay $38 an hour to enter your email address for each player. And the bowling alleys are slow as molasses on a chilly day. Tots designed to punish you with the hourly rate. Scott and Jennifer Emely laugh as you struggle to access their purposefully conniving games. And they even use Christianity to justify their rigged games. Brilliant! A cavernous facility filled with the sound of emptiness and overpriced video games, it is understandable if your kneejerk reaction is to flee. Middling food, hit or miss service, and meh music round out the underwhelming ambiance. This joint ulimately feels like a Chuck E. Cheese managed by Donald Trump. But without the sexy je ne sais quoi. If you want to get hosed by entitled jagoffs, swing on by!

We had our company holiday party here in December (which I planned). I'm really happy with our choice, and will definitely host with High 5 again! The food is really good. The venue and vibe are fun, chill, and just the right noise level. The drinks are good (and the bartenders on their game). And the prices are fair, particularly for parties! Johanna and here team were incredible. Helpful, genuine, and fun to work with - I highly recommend!
