| - It's not fancy, there are no disco balls nor cosmic light shows, and it's forevermore 1970 at Forward lanes. I hadn't been bowling since elementary school, but I'm positive Forward Lanes hasn't had a facelift since before that, so we're even. After being told that Arsenal Lanes had a ridiculous 3+ hour wait, we had a lane at Forward not even 20 minutes later (yes, including drive time).
There are 16 lanes. The shoes have velcro. The bathroom was surprisingly clean. The crowd was mostly non-drinking college kids on a Saturday night--definitely no serious bowlers. There are, however, locker room and storage rentals for those looking for a bowling league experience. FYI, ladies, the lightest bowling ball size was 9lbs, which I used okay--but was told that a lighter ball would have been better for me.
Concessions include 7oz mini beers by the bucket ($8.50 for domestic & $10 for Corona), Woodchuck Cider ($4), Mike's ($4), Slim Jims ($.99), and a full vending machine. Just about what you'd need.
CASH ONLY. There is an ATM inside.
