| - As an alumnus of The Ohio State University, and a huge Buckeye fan, Strike City has been a no-brainer for two years, as it is a huge Buckeye hangout and they televise the games every Saturday during football season.
Last Sunday, we arrived two hours early for the OSU-Michigan game, only to find the place packed. The only available seats were random stools at the bar, and the tables that face the bowling lanes. We have sat at the lane tables before for football games, and they have been fine, so we parked ourselves at one.
After about 15 minutes of no service, a rude hostess came over to tell all of us seated at the lane tables that we would have to move, in case people wanted to use the bowling lanes. Really?!
90% of their business comes from OSU fans during the season. Not a single ball rolled down one of those lanes while we were there. We found seats at the bar, and had a good time, as the bartenders were nice.
In addition to the rude hostess, a manager, who was twice as rude, informed my girlfriend that "he was not going to deny a bowler their right to bowl, even though a football game was on". This jerk was lucky I wasn't around when he said it.
The food at this place is mediocre at best, the service is lousy, and as much as it kills me, I think it's time for me to find another hangout to watch the OSU games.
