I recently visited this bowling alley with some friends and unfortunately, our experience was less than pleasant. I didn't have an issue with the bowling experience itself, but more so the lack of professionalism from the staff. The first issue we encountered was that the coat check had been moved without any notice to the customers. We were trying to get staff's attention at the coatcheck before the bartender rudely came up and said, "Can't you see the signs, you can't sit there." And the security said "All the coat check stuff is upstairs." UMMMM First of all, we were not sitting at all, just leaning over the counter to find a coat check worker. Secondly, there were no signs that said coat check had moved to upstairs. This was frustrating and time-consuming, especially since some of us came from work and had bags to store.
The bigger problem, however, was with the food check-in policy. We were told by the staff that we had to check in any outside food or drinks we brought in, which is reasonable. However, when we went to retrieve our food later, we were shocked to find out that it had been thrown away! Apparently, the staff that moved the coat check things from the first to the second floor didn't bother to inform us or give us a chance to retrieve our belongings.
To make matters worse, when we tried to retrieve our checked items, the check-in lady was incredibly rude. She didn't even bother to hand us our bags and instead plopped them on the complete other side of the counter, 10 feet away! It was as if she wanted to make it as difficult as possible for us to get our stuff.
This was unacceptable and unprofessional. We had spent money on that food and expected to be able to eat it at home (they were leftovers). When we complained to the staff, they were unapologetic and dismissive, which only added insult to injury.
Overall, I would not recommend this bowling alley to anyone. The lack of communication and disregard for customer property and satisfaction is simply unacceptable. Save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else where you'll be treated with respect.
