| - Wow, surprisingly good time going to Glenfair Lanes last night for the first time. My other half and I have pretty much gone to every bowling alley in the valley, just to see the different facilities. Glenfair was one of the lasts one's we visited but I'm sure glad we did. Just going once, it quickly jumped to the top of our list of cool, fun, bowling alley joints.
Walked in and right away 2 guys behind the counter greeted us and welcomed us to the joint. They were sincerely nice - it was a natural for them (guys are just SO much better at basic customer relationships than the gals who really do tend to just phone it in...)
It was a Tuesday after 6 so a GREAT deal for bowling until 9. BEST price for bowling in town, at east on Tuesday nights (and I think they have this 6-9 all you can bowl special a few times a week).
The place is older but NOT RUN DOWN, unlike a place like Let It Roll Bowl, which has it's charm, but seriously... Let It Roll is a dump.
Plus, this place is not another AMF or Brunswick corporate hell hole. God, I hate those joints.
Glenfair had replaced the bowling return equipment (where the balls comes out) and that alone made a big difference. A working fan to dry your hands...hell yeah!
Had some snakypoos, which were ok. Food prices seem reasonable overall.
But again... people make all the difference, and I'm not sure who these two guys were working behind the counter, but even when we were walking out after bowling a ton of games, hands cramping, limping to the right... they called out, "Thanks for coming in!"
So simple...so free...and works like a charm every time.
