Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia

This bowling alley is a great place to spend a fun evening, and the prices are reasonable. However, I found it a bit inconvenient that they automatically add a 20% tip to food and beverages, even though I would still tip the server. It’s not very professional to add the tip without the customer’s consent. On the bright side, their root beer is delicious!

This is a great venue to see a band. I love it here. It's nice and intimate but also large enough to hold a good amount of people for a show. Pretty big acts come through here on a regular basis. I would recommend this place to anyone 🤪🎸

Great venue. Chicken sandwich great. Good drink menu both virgin/non. Fried pickles great. Merchandise pretty neat. Sound system amazing. Went to see Will Wood

Amazing show, great experince. My fiance and I will definitely be back to this venue.

I recently visited Brooklyn Bowl Philadelphia to see Matisyahu and had an excellent experience. Having also been to the Williamsburg location, I’d say this one feels a bit more compact, with slightly smaller lanes and stage space, but it still captures the same great energy. The sound quality was outstanding, and the staff were friendly, courteous, and attentive. The crowd was fully into it—the vibes were strong, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Drink prices are on the higher side, but comparable to similar venues. The bathrooms were clean, the operations felt smooth, and the visuals during the show were fantastic. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely return when an artist I enjoy is performing.

Saw a musical performance and the stage lighting was so horrible I couldn’t pay attention to the band. The house lights were incorporated into the light show so I could see the people in the crowd better than the band. The stage lights and house lights were frequently angled into the eyes of the audience members; and regardless of where I stood it was a huge distraction. I am going to avoid this venue as a result.

Great venue. Excellent sight lines to stage, surprisingly good food, good drink menu. Staff and servers friendly. VIP experience-reserving a lane is the way to go with a group. Made the night even better. 2nd time there, hope to return soon.

Made me hide my vape in the parking lot and go back to get it after the show because i’m not 21. Wouldn’t let me hand it to my friend who is over 21. Went to 61 concerts across the world in 2025 and this was the first time that happened to me. How incredibly stupid. I know you’ll probably respond and say it’s “illegal” but my point is that you aren’t law enforcement so enforcing such a stingy rule makes me not want to return to this venue.

We love coming here. They have drink and food you can order too while you bowl. It's walk-in only half price bowling on Wednesday evenings. The table in the middle is shared with another group so it can feel like you don't have your space, but other than that it's great!

How did it take me until 2023 to get to Brooklyn Bowl?! I was literally in awe of the esthetics. The lights, the industrial feel, and the space was impressive. It was really easy to get around the venue. I moved from side rail to bar to bathroom pretty easily before the headliner. The sound was great. The beers were reasonably priced. I can't wait to go back!

One perfect item that you can get someone for the holidays is access to an experience like a bowling night, a meal at a restaurant, or tickets to an awesome concert. or, when it comes to Brooklyn Bowl, you can even get them an experience that involves all of the above. Like most Yelpers, I first officially came into contact with Brooklyn Bowl when Gabby hosted an incredible Elite Event that gave us full access to the food and downstairs bowling. Being one of the people to win tickets to the show upstairs that evening gave me a full preview of how impressive the music venue portion was. But as I gradually went to more shows here the more and more I started to appreciate it even though I was originally wrong about it not being a Ticket Master venue (and I covered many times how I feel about that Ticket Bastard overall). The downstairs bowling venue is comparable to the likes of North Bowl in NoLibs, and since its a Brooklyn-based venue, I appreciate the murals dedicated to Coney Island carnival vibes. The Blue Ribbon restaurant downstairs also ensures that it has some of the best music venue food out there with its fried chicken, french bread pizza, sliders, and then some! Concert options here have run the gamut between old-school hip-hop, heavy metal, punk rock, indie folk, goth industrial, foreign electronic, tribute bands, and then some ensuring that it has the best variety of concerts to check out. The upstairs bar carries on the Coney Island carnival theming and you can even splurge on a private group ticket where you and your friends can share a bowling lane while you wait for bands to come on. But when I saw Gogol Bordello and Wolfmother I just enjoyed wandering among the crowd and had no problem finding a spot toward the front. With shows like White Denim, KMFDM, Tinashe, and Matisyahu on the calendar there's plenty of reason to look ahead to shows in 2024 here.

Came to see a country music performance. I'm an older guy, so was not thrilled at having to stand but was willing. Worse yet, they keep everyone who's drinking in a very crowded pen, separate from the other customers. Beers are $15. I'd have stayed for the music, but the venue's an uncomfortable ripoff. Now I know why the tickets I got were being given away on Do215 - in my opinion no one in their right mind would pay to see a show here.

I have never been to the 2nd floor during the Elite event I was at because I didn't want to see L'Imperatrice and had to get ready for work the next day. The bathroom stalls and urinals available are clean and excellent in number (what you wanted to hear first thing in a review, right)? Space and lighting is hip and some bowling to enjoy the madness up here potentially. Came here for Skeletor Karaoke- first time at Brooklyn Bowl. They weren't able to let me in 9 minutes early and tear down from a prior concert (metal concert I think and a band called Ripe?) as I saw many people in black and chain gear walking out: 50 minutes in and not able to start. This plays only opens till 1 am? If skeletor karaoke is only 1 hour long, that is not enough time. I did like it at the World Cafe Live but maybe the WCL vibe doesn't fit Skeletor Karaoke as well as Brooklyn Bowl. Brooklyn is on to something, baby, and it looks like you can even order food at 1151 pm but the vibe of the lack of starting is not helping me want stuff from here. Plus I plan to get more stuff a few days later elsewhere. So, there is that too. And I am alone and that isn't always fun. No time to make myself a fool wearing this Bjork t-shirt. No Skeletor to rile up the crowd but they can let him break with the drinks available for sale and the background music. I enjoyed coming hear to check out this venue for this event, but I am not enjoying myself currently and thinking about leaving. 1h and 17 min later, the madness finally starts. Haha The song programmer will thank you if you show her your song through karafun beforehand and your name on a note on your phone. The line to find for the karaoke songs was hard to find and too random. I think an announcement saying to look up music on karafun and have name on cell beforehand would have this process go smoothly. Granted this is a skeletor karaoke thing and not Brooklyn Bowl. Thinking about a drink and was hoping for Some non-alcoholic listed options aka mocktail. Nothing of the sort. I don't want a soda or water. A slushie I'd go for but not surprised that isn't up. Probably could be used with such a great crowd here. Oh well. Maybe next time I'll try actually asking and see what they come up with. Being after the metal concert, some singers did a great job and picked metal numbers. With the number of people available, some of the songs seemed to last too long and not everyone could get their chance to sing. Venue is staying open past their normal closing time. Apparently some people liked my horrible rendition of Take It Off by the Donnas. I was cut off before I could express my "D cup". I have to admit with some of the people cheering me on for the ridiculous, I wanted to befriend them more but it probably would have been too awkward. I was also disappointed that there were no Yelpers I could connect with. I don't think I have the best voice but if I know the song, I can do alright but I tend to sound more like the original artist rather than holding my own. If you look at the humor I attempted w the context of the karaoke event, then I guess you could say I did get high marks without thinking about it. I just did what felt right being totally out of my element.

This place will forever be famous for me and my girlfriend who came all the way from Atlanta to see Bon Entendeur. I'll start off with the positives- great venue and nice staff. It was a super clean and great environment with everyone so friendly. Physically- no issues at all. But besides that- holy . I've travelled in 9 counties and across 4 continents, and somehow this was one of the most expensive places I've ever been. The cheapest alcoholic drink on the menu was a phased-out beer from months prior ($6), and shots of anything started around $9, with a Jack and Coke going for $16. I was hungry before the show and I had a Pizza Banquette, and it tasted like it was preheated and served to me. The horrible food and drink prices are what ruined this whole experience for me and I'll remember it for that exact reason. If someone in management is reading this, I'd rather pay a cover than this, because even drunk me gasped at being told that a Jack and Coke was $16. Once again- bless the staff and all their hard work, but everything else was pretty ridiculous. Unless another show is there, I won't be coming back!!

Imagine paying $60 for an event that barely had enough people to fill a minivan. The ticket got you nothing except entry to the most pathetic excuse for a throwback EDM party I've ever witnessed. The "crowd" was laughably small--maybe 10 people, tops--and the whole thing was so poorly advertised that it felt like a scam. As if that wasn't bad enough, the security guard had the nerve to be pushy and intrusive--seriously, why the attitude for such a tiny, dead event? Oh, and the bartender? Completely rude and unprofessional, as if I was the one ruining their night. But the best part? I've tried reaching out to Brooklyn Bowl multiple times, both by phone and email, and nothing. No response, no apology, no refund. Save yourself the misery and the money--you won't get either back.

You'd think it would kill them to wash and disinfect the metal barriers at the front like, ever. Union Transfer cleans their barriers, the silver rail barriers there aren't almost black with layers of filth caked onto them from years of shows like there are here at Brooklyn Bowl. Can their staff not ever clean them along with the floor area in the photo pit? So gross and sticky. Huge oversight on management's part. You clean the bar. Why not the stage barriers, some of the filthiest things in the building?

Love the bowl! Great music venue. Packs in a good crowd but doesn't seem to jammed. Good food too. Bit pricey for a soda at $4 which is a disservice to your designated drivers, but it did deter me from having a second sugary drink. Lots of good site lines, and the traffic at the bar moves quick with many bartenders. Parking and traffic in the area is a bit if a problem but if you are patient you will find something. Downstairs is the main bar/bowling alley area while the music venue is upstairs with some VIP lanes. These are available at a premium in addition to the ticket price. Half the lanes have a view of the stage, the other half are obstructed view, but everyone has access to the vip viewing area which is side stage and raised above the main floor. Definitely a nice spot to watch a show for 8 people in your party. You also have waitress service, your own couches by your lane, some tables to sit at, and shoes are included. At my most recent event, Steal Your Peach, tickets were $12 and a VIP lane was $100. They sold out of lanes before I could get one, but definitely see the value at this price point. Other shows, the VIP lane ranges up to $455, with many around $273 and $339. Bowling is interesting here. I am a league bowler and find they don't use much oil on the lanes so it is hard to adjust to the bowling conditions. They also use string pins, which are literally pins connected to strings which are easier to maintain, but you don't get the same action as you do with regular pins. All in all a fun place and I highly recommend you check it out. And that the venue considers dropping the price of a soda!

Brooklyn Bowl, widely known in the Metro NY and North Williamsburg area of New York. Already known as a multifaceted venue for music, entertainment, bowling, and food, the Philadelphia venue keeps the charm of its origin and ups it game. The location can be difficult to find, as the street that the entrance is on is closed to cars, thus your GPS might leave you driving in circles on your first visit. The reason for mentioning first visit, Is because what Brooklyn Bowl affords doesn't disappoint, and there's few places that offer so much in one building. The venue is two levels, situated next to The Fillmore. There's two large bars on each floor. The lower floor where the entrance and box office is provided and open view of sofas and lounge chairs, a sizable service bar to the left and across from the bar are a series of rectangular tables tops for people to gather, drink, and shmooze. Then comes the bowling alleys, with circus like vintage tapestry posters aligning the walls. Each lane provides a sofa and large coffee table for you and your guest to have food delivered and place your drinks, silverware, etc. The lanes are controlled with the latest technology with simple usability. Balls are aplenty in weights and sizes, and the rightfully wood lanes each have LED screens above. The menu has nearly something for everyone. On the second level are additional lanes adjacent to an open square shaped venue for live music. The acoustics and lighting are excellent. Any visit to Brooklyn Bowl assures to spare you anything but a great time, and regardless of the score, this fun venue affords a guaranteed strike.

Brooklyn Bowl is an exciting addition to the hub of venues in Fishtown. When you first arrive, IDs and vaccination cards are checked at the door. There are metal detectors and security guards that check purses and that has always been a seamless process for me and friends upon arrival. The first floor of Brooklyn Bowl is an open to the public, upscale bowling alley. They offer a great food menu with a lot of variety and have attentive and friendly servers. My favorite part of Brooklyn Bowl is the upstairs. If there is an event the evening you attend, you can buy tickets ahead or at the door and go upstairs to see the show. There's a large space, decorated almost like a carnival with "AMUSEMENT" signs and fun lights. There's also a large bar with multiple bar tenders and somewhat of a "pit" with a disco ball and stage. Adjacent to the stage are some additional bowling lanes. The price point is what you would expect at a concert venue bowling alley, and comparable to neighboring venues. I think the food stands out as much better than you'd expect from a space like this. Friends and I decided to celebrate a birthday here and we had a blast. Brooklyn Bowl is a great host for any occasion!

I heard people talk about this place so I had to try... My sibs and I were looking for something to do in celebration of my brother's bday so we came here. Booking was super easy, I was able to do so online; I also pre-ordered food for us online too. The food ordered was chicken burger sliders, Blue Ribbon chicken (fried chicken), tater tots and churros. After booking online a follow up email was sent confirming the reservation and providing details about what to expect during the experience so the day of our gathering went smoothly. We were notified of our lane availability shortly after our reservation time and once at our lane a server came over to confirm when we wanted the food to come out and took our drink orders. Overall, we had a great time and pretty good experience. I thought the food was just ok; the burgers were just warm, the chicken was fried perfectly but didn't have much flavor neither did the churros. The serving sizes of each item were ample. Although I did not care much for the food, the atmosphere, service and the lanes were all to my satisfaction. I definitely recommend this place in spite of my 3 star review (I took away a star because of the food)... Also, the website states that there can be up to 8 people per lane but I think no more than 5 is appropriate... If you have more than 5 in your party, I suggest booking 2 lanes because you will not fit comfortably in the couch at the lane; plus, given the way the seating is arranged at the lanes you will most likely be facing people that you don't know if your party only occupies 1 lane.

I like the venue I just needed to put in a short message I ate the pork sliders last night and now I have food poisoning. The concert was interesting and I had a great time as far as entertainment. But I am sick as a dog!

Very thankful to experience Brooklyn Bowl. The service was very good. I'm very happy they have this establishment in the Philadelphia area. There's lot of bowling lanes with interactive pads to enter names. Not sure about having bowling shoes, but it worked out well with sneakers. Overall, this is a great place to visit if you like bowling, hanging out at the bar, or enjoying one of the live music events upstairs. Im looking forward to telling friends about Brooklyn Bowl, and also coming back again myself.

Top of the line modern concert venue. Haven't had food or bowled here but the shows on the 2nd level floor have been well run. Always on time m, a lot of space and great acoustics.

I'm here to only rate the food. I went to see a show and it was great. Bowling is bowling. It's also nice that they have water coolers. But what's UP with the low grade food? I get it, it's a music venue and bowling space so the expectations are low. But I felt like the tater tots and chicken popcorn was fried, put back in the fridge, then re fried. I think that's the best way to describe stale oily chicken and tater tots. It's really hard to mess up pre frozen fried food. But Brooklyn bowling did.

This review is only for the bowling experience. It was terrible and expensive. We went for family day in the Fall and it felt like a money grab scam. First, it's $30 per half an hour plus $5 per person shoe rental. I arrived a few minutes after my family and checked in and requested shoes. They don't give them to you when you ask, they have a shoe person who collects the entire building's order and delivers to the lanes. This is a terrible model. It took 25 minutes to get my shoes, zero exaggeration. When I asked the front desk for an update, the host was spicy with their answer, downright mean. It's definitely understaffed and overpriced with zero regard for the customer. Shows there are great and I like the sound.

We saw Tea Leaf Green at this venue last Saturday night and I have to say, the sound in this venue is great! The staff is so helpful! From the management = Scully and Bob and all the door folks, I can't recommend this venue enough.

Awesome area for music and an amazing show. Lane prices are good. Drink prices a little high.

Went post comedy show...Empty by all means. We got carded, walked in, and THEN were asked to walk back through security as their inadequate staff forgot to ask us to walk through the "security parameters". We OBLIGED willingly - walked all the way back to entry and THEN back to the bar. We were a party of 6. The bartender ignored me and my partner. Went to the other four- accrued an $80+ tab with them, closed out and then turned to us and said to my partner (who she had NOT spoken to yet- that he was "slurring words"and would not serve) LMAO. Preface: I have been in the service industry for 12 years. He was not slurring, visibly intoxicated or "disturbing the peace" as many bartenders use an excuse to claim when they want to close up early. If you don't want to work- or AREN'T PROPERLY TRAINED- go the hell home. Pathetic excuse for a Fishtown spot. 6+ 30+ adults walked 1500 feet to Barcade where the staff was accommodating and we left a fantastic tip.

I came here for a Saturday night party upstairs, but me and my companion decided we'd eat downstairs first. My first impression was that it was a cool-looking space. We came during a Sixers game and were relieved they had it on 2 large screens at the front of the lanes. The only thing about that is people and objects are in the way if you want to clearly see the televisions from a dining table. The only other option was sitting at the bar where they didn't have it on. I suppose it's not a big deal and I could've asked the bartender to put it on, but just a heads up to sports fans like me. It was a little weird to come in and not be immediately greeted, which left us to assume that we had to order food at the bar. But, no, there's just no hostess, and it seemed the one waitress stood for several beats trying to figure out why were hanging around the tables looking clueless. I guess it's not immediately obvious. She was a good server though, it just was kind of weird. The food didn't blow us away. I had the fried pickles, which were the best thing I had for the night. The aioli they served with it was wonderful. I also had the pulled pork sliders, and those left a lot to be desired. I was kind of surprised by how the meat was cold. It did nothing for them with the slaw also on them. In terms of the chicken that I shared with the person I was with, the lack of flavor was an offense to chicken. Good texture and hot, but scarcely seasoned to be sure. I can say the party was fun. The venue upstairs is smallish, bisected by a few more bowling lanes, situated horizontal to the stage. I assume they leave them open during performances. Overall I'd come back. I'm not sure I was wowed by the late night menu though.

Was excited to attend the opening of this new music venue, bowling facility, bar/restaurant that's the newest branch of Brooklyn Bowl in Philly, located yards away from the Fillmore and comedy club. Opening talent was epic Meters member George Porter, Jr from New Orleans and NY funk band Soulive. General admission standing in front of stage (my preference) wasn't uncomfortably crowded and the audience appreciative and attentive to the music. A minimum of chatting and cell phone taping (yay). Good acoustics, however there was no bowling going on at the time. Staff very friendly. No hassles checking in. Covid cards required (also yay) but mask wearing not enforced. All staff were masked, however. Bartenders very nice. Good selection of craft beers, according to my son. Did not eat anything so can't comment on the food. The DJ did an excellent job of curating the music before, after and between sets and lots of people were dancing. It was a very nice vibe. A shout out to Nate who assisted me with a ticket glitch that was entirely my fault. Thanks, Nate. My only concern is that the roster of bands is very similar to Ardmore Music Hall's usual roster, and I don't want AMH to lose any customers as they are a locally owned business that has weathered the Covid storm and kept its staff on salary the whole time.

Certainly a fun place for a group to bowl and maybe catch a show upstairs on their small stage. Unfortunately, the food and drinks are not much to write home about and neither is the pricing. That being said, service with a smile from everyone I ever interact with and in a location that is not too difficult to get to means it is worth keeping on your list of potential party places.

The most Brooklyn thing about this is the price. Drinks start at $9 for a Miller light can (bowling alley). If you can ignore that then you will have a great time at this upscale bowling alley / venue If you only book 1 lane they will make you share a table with a random group. 2 Lane rental ($100-$120 per hour rental fee is required for a private table) rental fee does not go towards food or drinks

I went to the Brooklyn Bowl for the first time the other evening and saw Old Crow Medicine Show with Molly Tuttle. It's a great venue for a close intimate concert. The staff was very friendly and accommodating-the crowd thoroughly enjoyed the show. We had drinks, which were fine, but didn't eat.

The people who work here have to be the stupidest!!! Either that, or they hate older women! Went to Fishtown Fest 7/29 to see Grouplove. In line at 9:30am; time of show unknown. Was helping vender paint 104.5 logo and missed BB people giving out green wristbans to meet and greet GL. When I saw and asked for one a few minutes later they told me I missed it, was too late, tooo bad. I saw a woman and her two kids, 5 and 7 with wristbands. why put wristbands on 5/7 year olds??? How stupid can one be? Was also told that at the "MEET AND GREET" !they were allowed to walk by the group and take A PICTURE!!! No MEET, NO talk, NOTHING..!!.ONE PHOTO. I already had a photo of them arriving. They were very friendly, allowing pix and hugging people. What the hell is wrong with the Brooklyn Bowl staff????? I got so upset that I had to leave!!! (Heart problems...fear of heart attack due to stress) Never got to see one of my favorite groups, who were really nice!!!! Brooklyn Bowl, you don't need my1) money, or my 2) patronage. You have my sharing your shixxy staff with everyone I know!!!! Grouplove, I had such great expectations of happiness to see you!

Went to Brooklyn bowl for girls night for their Disney Night. The performance was great and the vibes were fun. There's bowling band other games for you to play or you can just hangout and drink. There is a restaurant but we actually didn't try it that night. The drinks are overpriced for pretty average drinks. The bartenders were nice though and very efficient.

A fun place to watch a show and I'd love to come back to bowl. The staff were all kind and everyone had a great time! The VIP area had a few seats, but otherwise be prepared to stand if you're not playing a game while there's a performance. It's also a convenient location and you can walk to other spots before or after coming here.

I feel like you have to go to Brooklyn bowls with a certain evening in mind. If you go for a concert it is so much fun and would definitely recommend getting a VIP bowling lane. If you're going for a birthday I feel like you can go any night and have a great experience. The food is pretty decent and the drinks are relatively strong. I would definitely go back but again with a specific event in mind more than just for a random Tuesday night.

Seen Me First and the Gimme Gimmes there and had a great time. It's a very cool venue.

We had a great time at Brooklyn Bowl. They were very attentive and great host to our party of 22. Food was excellent. Whoever cooked those ribs did an amazing job. The manager was also very helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time.

RACIST OR INCOMPETENT??? The bouncers need to be fired or retrained. I was denied entry because the bouncer was confident my Penndot issued REALID drivers licenses was fake and bent my ID in half on night of Saturday 1/21/2023. And yes the REAL ID that you need to board a domestic flight in America. He told me I needed to go home and bring back a passport even thought I also have debit/ credit cards and a vaccination card with my name and birthday that proves I am who I am and I am of legal drinking age. Or maybe he just did not want my kind to be there. See my last name and you know what I mean. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Amazing place to see a show!! Serving staff are super friendly, vegan items on the menu, really great cocktails (I recommend the gutterball). Great addition to the entertainment hub in Fishtown.

The venue was cool but the food was SO BAD. I got the chicken sandwich. It was served dry (no sauce) with pickles, damp lettuce shreds, and a pile of funky cheese on top (maybe parmesan). It was simultaneously bland and smelling like a sweaty sock. Totally bizarre thing to put on the menu and easily the worst fried chicken sandwich I've ever had. Also their ordering system was wack. They give you a little stick with a number and then try to find you in a crowd of several hundred people. Not a place to eat.

This is pretty cool spot for concert venue because for vip tickets you can bowl and listen to the concert at the same time at their upstairs space. Didn't try their food though but I imagine it should be ok

Brooklyn Bowl exceeded my expectations. Having to compete with the amount of venues in Philly is not easy feat but what makes this place stand out is how different it is. Not many places can you go before a show, eat high quality food, bowl with friends, then catch a show. For that reason alone I'd come back. Bands they have coming in are fire also.

Brooklyn Bowl is the hottest new spot in Philadelphia. Already a legendary status from its other locations, what better place to drop a bowling alley venue that hosts extremely cool shows and events. I was lucky enough to catch Pigeons Playing Ping Pong in January for my first show at the space. It was super clean, safe, and tons of fun. The staff is so cool and was really happy to see me and my buds making our first show at the bowl. We had plenty of standing and dancing room, even in the sold out room. Seriously spectacular space to see a show. Great atmosphere, people, bands, drinks and food. Great Location. I will definetly be coming here as my main spot to catch the best Jam Bands and all sorts of other cool events soon!

Came to Philly for a weekend away with my husband and we realized our favorite band was performing! So happy we accidentally got the show time wrong and ended up being able to bowl and eat in the restaurant downstairs. Food was I recommend the ribs. It was one of my favorite parts of our weekend.

We came for the Abba night, but we found that the DJ was lacking. He did not play to the theme at all and we were very disappointed that we paid for the event. It was very much below expectations unfortunately. We were expecting a really fun themed night but it didn't live up to what we wanted :(

I came to Brooklyn Bowl on a Friday night with my best friend cause I was craving fried chicken and heard really good things about this place. When we got there we saw that is was Doja Cat Dance night so obviously we had to stay and throw ass.

I was between two and three stars. I wanted to give it three but the service here is less than mediocre. The bowling was fun of course but bowling is fun anywhere you go. From the moment you walk in the door service is iffy. We got a lane and waited almost 10 minutes for shoes. my boyfriend then got yelled at because he didn't put the bowling shoes on when the lane next to use had 5 plus people who none of them had bowling shoes on. they don't have many options as far as sizes of bowling balls. They have mostly balls that are 10 lbs plus which is very large for a small woman who usually uses 6/7 lb bowling balls. We ended up forgetting about the nonsense and had fun but towards the end ordered a draft beer that took 15 plus minutes to get, which we were done bowling at that point. Overall, place is okay. Not sure if it'd come back. I would definitely check out other bowling in the area such as North Bowl before wasting money here again.
