| - Updated review: After a couple months' experience with this bowling center I felt the need to upgrade this review.
Staff: Friendly, helpful, competent. There are a few younger staff members who could use some "mentoring" but for the most part everyone seems to be on their game. A special commendation for Ben, the league coordinator, who very diplomatically, helped resolve a scoring situation with our team that resulted in our team losing a large number of points. Turns out there was a mistake when they entered my average at the beginning of the league. None of us were happy. Ben explained and re-explained the situation several times until we all understood. He apologized for the mistake and handled the situation with a lot more tact than someone his age normally has.
Lanes/facilities: When I wrote my first review, it was because I had a bad experience. The air conditioning was broken, it was hot in the bowling center, the lane oil and overall lane quality was poor and as a result, my scores were low. This has since improved. No complaints about the lanes.
Food: Best bowling alley food I've ever had. I mean, *really* good food. There is nothing on the menu that isn't delicious.
Prices: Very reasonable. Lowest prices of any bowling center in the valley, that includes AMF and Brunswick, whose prices have gotten ridiculous. Considering the overall quality of the experience, Flipside is a great value.
Overall: A very nice, family oriented bowling center.
Why not five stars? The bar currently only serves beer and wine. When they start serving liquor, I'll upgrade my review.
