| - THE POSITIVES:
Descent atmosphere, eclectic aesthetics (60's-70's lanes with neon confetti carpet straight from 1993), family friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff, great service! Descent beer selection for an acceptable price! Affordable, we bowled with 3 other couples and had 2 lanes. It was $21 for my husband and I, that included the lane fee, shoe and bowling ball rentals, for 2 hours and 2 games. We started at 10pm and shut the place down at 2am and played 3 or 4 games with no extra cost for the extra games/hours.
WHY I HAD TO KNOCKOFF 2 STARS:
Doesn't organize bowling balls by weight. Many of the bowling balls did not have the weight listed on it. NOT A LOT OF COLOR OPTIONS!!!! This a crucial component for amateur bowlers like myself and will affect my overall performance, as well as my enjoyment of the game!
Shoes were VERY clean and newish but, still had that retro bowler shoe look. Hilariously written across the side of the shoe is "DO NOT STEAL" in silver Sharpie. Who's great idea was that? ;)
We bowled on a Saturday night and started at 10pm and there was no music playing at all, not even jukebox music! Just the sounds of the tumbling pins and awkward hormonal teenagers on a group date (you'd think overhearing those conversation would at least be entertaining!) Cosmic Rockin' Bowl did not start until midnight. This is late for a bunch of nerdy 30-somethings. There was nothing Cosmic or Rockin' about it, no glow in the dark pins or bowling balls. Just some cool lighting that I think everyone will enjoy, except epileptics. The music was weak, mostly just popular non-top 40 hits from people I have never seen or heard of. Sorry but, my deaf grandma could come up with a better playlist.
OVERALL:
This is a nice, clean, safe, family friendly bowling alley. It's great for families and dropping off the tweens/teens to bowl.
