| - I came here for my birthday party, and the place looks nice (more like a nightclub than a traditional bowling alley). However, my fiance and I did not feel welcome at all for our party of 16.
First of all, we called ahead to see if lanes needed to be reserved. We were advised to just show up at 7:00pm on a Friday night and ask for two lanes. Upon arriving, we were met with a very standoffish manager, who flat out sneered when we asked if there was a chance of getting three lanes next to each other (which again, we had called ahead to ask on the best way to get them). When we settled for two lanes, the manager rolled his eyes and said that it would be a 30 minute wait, and then went to doing something else. We asked if we needed to give him a name, as we'd all be hanging out in the bar section. He said "no, I'll come get you when we're ready."
After an hour of waiting at the bar and having other people's names (again, they took names for other people) at the bar called for their lanes, we went back over to the manager to ask how much longer it'd be, to which we got the condescending reply that "oh, they have lanes ready now." We asked why he hadn't notified us of this, and he replied again "well they're ready now."
Fine.
He asked how many people were bowling, and at that moment there were six, to which he said we could only have one lane if that were the case (again, not new information for him). So we got an extra person to bowl so we could get two lanes. Again, an eye roll from this guy.
Afterwards, the wait staff and service from the rest of the establishment was acceptable to great (hence the two stars, not one). Our lane did keep glitching and knocking over random pins on the reset (which is OK for us- we're all casual once-in-a-while bowlers and not extremely competitive). It was also a little weird that the music videos playing on the 12+ screens never once matched up with what the DJ was playing.
We were very surprised about the price. For appetizers, three pitchers of beer, and three games of bowling amounted to $375. For us, being used to AMF and Brunswick-style lanes, this was much more than expected.
Overall, it was a good time for us because we had each other's company, beer, and food. But it was definitely in spite of some staff management that treated us like lepers (and none of us were leprous... that I know of).
Don't come here unless you want to pay way more for bowling than you ever have and want to be looked down on as a big inconvenience while you do it.
