I have been here a few times and I usually have a decent time. Although I havent been there in awhile, this is the only bowling alley that I have ever been in with a dress code. They actually made me remove my baseball cap to enter the establishment. The bowling was rather pricey and the lane broke down a few times, but the waitress was rather attentive to our group's needs (we had about 10 people).
On a personal note, I really get frustrated that every new bar in Charlotte is either claimed as an "Ohio State" or "Steelers" bar. The fact that whenever I feel like watching a game somewhere that I have to deal with these knuckleheads is quite frustrating.
The food was good and had an average/high price tag, and the drinks were about the same selection/quality/price as the rest of the bars in the epicentre.
Overall, the crowd is pretty decent and the bartenders are attractive. But this is treated more like a club than a bowling alley, and I would plan on dressing up if you plan on being there anytime after 8pm.
