Take your local bowling lanes, your big city lounge, and your friend that hosts your annual SuperBowl party -- take their living room -- put it all together, and let Cadillac do the finishing touches.
That's what High Rollers Luxury Lanes and Lounge is in my eyes.
I have been here numerous times since its soft-opening in late September. I have eaten here, taken friends here, had just a drink, and all out bowled as well. Its a mandatory stop for my frequent trips to Foxwoods.
The lounge area is amazing. A 103" TV is at the center, with leather couches and chairs throughout. Additional TVs are everywhere and club music plays throughout the night, while in the day is more low-key, but extremely relaxing. The piano is a nice touch.
The bar itself is huge and behind the lounge, its own area sort of. Which is nice. You can sit alone and relax, yell and talk loud with friends, and get some great drinks too.
The bowling lanes are beautiful. I have only bowled once there, but it was a lot of fun. The benches aren't plastic - they are full leather couches, with coffee tables in the middle. Nothing is more interesting than seeing people dressed up for the club bowling, while their friends in sports jackets and high heels watch on.
The food is great and reasonably priced. There is a full menu with appetizers, burgers, steak, seafood, and prices are everywhere. My friend and I, on Valentine's Day, got a burger w/sweet potato fries and a chicken BLT sandwich, and we were both very pleased. I've also had grilled cheese, calamari, and their amazing pizza in the past.
The food is served at the bar, and there are servers for the lounge and bowling alley. Drinks are great and allowed everywhere.
The service is excellent. I've never had a bad time there. The staff is friendly, the bartenders will talk to you but they won't be your new best friend, and even the food runners and cleanup people are great!
I went on Valentine's Day - two of us got 2 meals, 4 beers, 4 liquor drinks, bowled 3 games each, and got shoes, for $70 total. During the week, they run outstanding specials and its worth taking advantage of. On the weekend nights, they are more expensive (rent lanes by the hour), but its designed for groups and parties.
This is the most exciting place in either Foxwoods or Mohegan Sun. I say that, having gambled at the two casinos for 10+ years on a monthly (or more!) basis. Unlike Shrine (the club, whjich is great, but not everyone likes to club) or gambling itself, this can cater to everyone. There is club music and an upscale feel, but you don't need to dance. Ladies and gentleman, no matter your preference, there are plenty of patrons to stare at :-)
