I have a love/frustrating relationship with Arsenal but I'm still giving it 4 stars. I recently was going with a group of people and called 3 days before and asked how booked their lanes were, and they told me only 2 were reserved so we should be fine to come in on Friday and get 2 lanes for our group. Friday night came and we decided to call and see how they were about two hours before it was time for their 9-midnight bowling and they said all of their lanes were reserved already. After being so bummed, we called back again and asked what if those people didn't show up.. Could we get their lane? No. They said no. Sooo we decided to go anyway and MAYBE a miracle would happen and a lane would be open. After getting there, the guy at the front desk said all the lanes were booked, as expected. We then waited at the bar and went to the other desk to inquire, and was told "oh you need two lanes next to each other? Yes we definitely have that".
So a bit of a frustrating experience trying to bowl at Arsenal. And this was not the first time this happened to us all. Getting a lane there takes some work! BUT once you get one, you'll have a blast. The vibe is just relaxed and fun and super old school. Friday nights the DJ is pretty good and the karaoke is just a blast if you're with some daring souls. It was $11 all you bowl and we fit in 4 games from 9-12. Definitely a cool hang out on a snowy night to grab some drinks and have fun with some friends.
