I've never really eaten there since the new ownership, I Will be honest. I'm writing my review solely on the Bar portion of this establishment.
I went in on a Friday and there were what seemed to be teeny boppers running around everywhere to hear their "favorite band ever" playing music. That part for any adult would normally be a turn off but Mahalls did a good job placing the stage on opposite side of building from the bar and bowling.
I'm a 'normal upper 20 something lady. I was dressed in jeans and an Express sweater with a shaw over and as soon as I walked into the bar I stood out. Hipsters everywhere! I love hipsters that accept others for their own views and beliefs and the ones that don't...well they make things uncomfortable even for those who don't judge them......like me.
Bartender looked at me, Turned away, waited on 12 other people including the guy standing next to me whom walked up 15 minutes after me. That customer laughed and said 'good luck getting service from him. U aren't hipster enough.' Finally 17 minutes later....the bartender came up to me and just pointed at me, didn't ask what I wanted, just a point. It was an uncomfortable interaction as I didn't even get my whole order out of my mouth before he asked me with a crappy look if I had asked for absinthe. ...I was trying to ask for absolut! I hated the idea of even taking the drinks and paying for them, let alone tipping! But I did!
This place could be good if they were more accepting of people that are just looking to have a good night out, bowling and laughing with friends.
It sucks that there aren't many other options for bowling around town. It Really bummed me out this weekend i wont lie. This place used to be a true gem! Disappointed :/
