Tavern bowl looks like s fun place to hang out. I took my gf there for the first part of her birthday gift and it was a fun time... the catch? $$$
We paid for an hour of bowling before 3pm on a Friday which was $20 + $4 each for shoes. We both played on a single lane with no-one else and got in 3 games with a little time extension from the hostess (Sierra our server, was awesome).
Bowling is timed and minutes are provided in the top left corner of the screen and time starts 5 minutes after the front door clerk takes you to your lane.
Drinks (alcohol) we ask a bit pricey at $8 each and didn't taste like much alcohol was in the drink.
Pizza was slightly better than typical bowling food... but not by such a margin that would make me want to eat dinner here.
The other thing about the bowling experience is that it may not be for the serious bowler. The lighting cast a glare on the lane to such an extent that one couldn't see the arrows on the lane.
Overall 2 drinks, 1 pizza and an hour of bowling + tax and tip was close to $60 and that was before the pricing increased $10 to bowl after 3pm.
Fun, once, but won't be a regular spot unless really good deals or discounts are found.
