What struck me about this place is that is it HUGE. 30+ Lanes, and also an expansive bar (21+ to enter) area with two bars, tons of dart boards and at least 8 pool tables.
It was bumping on a Saturday night. We got our name down for a lane, and waited in the bar, where they have at least 10 beers on tap, a couple of them local brews. The pitchers are cheap ($7-11). Regular drink specials are advertised. We were bowling within 20 minutes of arriving.
It was a Saturday night, so shoe rental was $2.50 and games were $3.75 each. If you were to go in the middle of a weekday, you'll pay $1 for shoes and $2.50 for a game. I'll admit, my star rating is a little arbitrary in this case, as I am no bowling aficionado. The lanes seemed dandy to me. We had no problems, and the computer interface was easy to use.
We did not have anything to eat at Bowl-A-Vard. It looks like they offer more than the standard bowling alley pizza and fried food. Someone else will have to tell us how the snacks are.
