| - This is what you get when you cross a bowling alley, pool tables with good food, great beer, a game room and an accommodating staff - a great place to enjoy an afternoon or evening with friends, coworkers or just random new people.
The place sits in the Ayrlsey complex in southwest Charlotte next to the Indian restaurant and across the parking lot from Portofinos. They have plenty of seating if you want to enjoy a meal and 3 bars, 2 inside and one on the patio, There are 2 sets of 6 bowling lanes, pool tables in the back and a game room upstairs. There is comfortable seating throughout if you want to just relax and chill.
The food menu is broad and very diverse with salads, burgers, wraps and southern specialities like shrimp and grits and fried catfish.
The staff was amazing when I was there but it was their grand opening too.
But a couple of flaws that made this short of a 5 star review. First, in the mens bowling shoe selection, another group took all the size 12s and our group was forced to go smaller to 11 1/2 or much larger to 15s and 16s. Seems like they only have 2 of each size shoe.
Second, the casual play bowling scoresheet software does not allow you to add a new player to your game. They had to change your game to a league game.
And third, the beer prices are a bit pricey here. $6 to $8 for local craft beer that you can get elsewhere for $4-6.
Another bad thing is that parking can be a bear here. But I blame that on Ayrsley, not this business.
Still, I liked this place and I work close to it so I can see myself coming back here once in a while.
