| - I have come here a couple of times, once to bowl and once to drink. I'll start with the bowling, because that's what they advertise. For the price (north of 60 bucks for a small group) you would expect a premier experience. They bill themselves as an "upscale bowling alley", after all. But it's really not. As the bowling goes, it is cramped and noisy. The bowling is meant to be a bit of entertainment while you drink - it is not viable as an activity on its own. But at that price, don't waste your time with the bowling. Enjoy the bar.
Now, the bar is alright. It can get pretty crowded on big game nights, but you can't hold that against them. It is a sports bar, and towards that end the place is bursting with TVs and projectors. There is no chance of missing a second of the game, even by accident. Hell, the bowling lanes have screens above the pins. The central bar is enormous, and even on the busiest nights is still (somewhat) accessible. It also gets loud - really loud - during big games. I was there once during a UFC fight night, and although that's not usually my thing I couldn't help but get into it. The atmosphere is contagious.
If they sold themselves as a bar I would rate them higher, but pretending that the bowling is anything more than a gimmick is just dishonest.
