My group and I went for a work team building event today . I have only been once before on a weekend (with Michigan people--not a good move seeing it's an Ohio State bar) and it was a complete 180 from the weekend madness. There were only a few people eating there and we were the only group bowling, which I thought was a little odd since it was lunch time and at the EpiCentre. Very chic bowling alley (if you've been to Lucky Strike it's comparable to there) with lots of tv, three full bars with high top and booth seating. They had a great selection of food from standard apps to pizza to entrees. I had the nachos, they monster and loaded with guacamole and cheese so I was a happy girl. Sadly I couldn't finish them but with some beer and a nap after wards I could've! Some co-workers had the veal Parmesan sandwich and buffalo chick wrap and they said they were tasty as well. Server was efficient, friendly and quick to fill refills, another plus in my book.
I'm happy we have this uptown, it's a nice alternative instead of going to Jillians or Dave and Busters and light rail accessible as well. Since work was paying for us to bowl, I didn't get a look at the prices but I hear it's costly for bowling so it may be a special occasion thing or go on a night they have specials. I saw they had a BOGO coupon in my Citipass book so that would be a great value to use that baby soon. They also show UFC fights there but that may come with a cover charge. I was expecting snazzier shoes but it didn't look like there has been much creative progress in the bowling shoe design world in the past 20 years. Sadface.
Some notes
Monday 9P-2A All you can bowl for $15 Bud and Bud Light buckets $12
