| - I've only been here once, but I think it's a cool concept, having a bowling alley/bar/restaurant downtown. Obviously you're not going to expect gourmet food here, but I think you can expect to have a pretty decent time overall. Rates are pretty reasonable, ranging from $40/hour for a lane (8 bowlers max) to $80/hour on a Saturday night after 5 pm. Basically if you can get enough people to fill a lane, at most you'll be paying $8 for an hour of bowling, plus $5 for shoe rentals. Not bad for downtown entertainment, I think.
I ended up eating here with a large group the last time I was here as well, and we sat in the back room upstairs. The service was a little slow (i.e. the food took quite a while to come out, plus some people got theirs noticeably earlier than others), but that might have been due to the Jays playoff game going on/many patrons in the restaurant. I indulged that night and got the bacon grilled cheese burger which was TWO beef patties stacked between TWO grilled cheese sandwiches and topped with cheese and bacon (helloooo cheat day!) I have zero regrets about what I ordered, but did note that the beef patties were pretty dry and kind of cardboard-y. Luckily my burger was saved by the grilled cheese sandwiches which added some extra moisture and flavour to the whole thing, although by the end of it I felt like it started to get a bit too salty. Some of my other friends also agreed with the "too dry burger" assessment (and unfortunately no one else had the grilled cheeses to balance it out, so they REALLY thought it was dry), so it seems to be a pretty consistent thing.
