| - Five stars because this is a great bowling alley. Period. It seems like bowling alley's have resorted to the tired neon gimmick, they are all the same and none of them stand out. I used to work next door to Park Lanes, when it was still George Pappas and it was quite shady. The face lift they have put on it is amazing. It was my idea in the office to do bowling after work, everyone was shocked at how great the place looked in comparison to its old self.
We took a seat in the restaurant area. Ordered the spinach and naan for an appetizer. It was good the naan however was so baked that they might as well be pita chips. For my meal I had to get the BBQ in a mason jar, with moonshine. I had never tried moonshine before so it was a given as a foodie, must try! I wasn't going to get some lame mixed drink either, though I finished one of my parties mixed drink when she left. I had to try it unadulterated so I could get the full kick. It was a lot smoother than I expected and the waitress told me it was only 80 proof, which I think is weak for moonshine. I thought the average was 160 proof, then again Wikipedia is not the best source for information. My BBQ was good albeit having a lot of beans. I doused it in the coffee jalapeno sauce, delicious.
As for bowling, the lanes are nicely kept. We came on league night and everyone around us seemed like a pro and were so serious. I swear the lady next to us was annoyed that we were actually having fun. Also in previous reviews I mentioned I give extra props to establishments that play great music. What was strange here is that the music started off great, then went straight top 40 around 10PM. As for a music snob it was breakneck change in tune going from Jack White, Black Keys and M83 to LMAFO.
