Worst lanes I've ever bowled at. Not a chance I'll ever return.

Lanes may not have a fresh coat of oil, and it may look like a retro 80s mixed with modern day lanes, and the kitchen may be closed due to covid, but it's still bowling

They have a very apparent staffing issue. Only had one man working the entire place including the bar. We needed our lanes resetcat least 6 times in a 2 hour span.

Nice place but the lanes were dry as the Sahara lol

Said it was open and it wasn’t.

Lanes don't get oiled, so unless you throw a straight ball, not worth coming here.

Lanes scuffed me and my friends balls. Lanes were warped. Maybe not even fresh oil on them. Paid $12 for 2 hours of bowling and they didn’t have single games available. After an hour, we left. Place hasn’t been updated in over 10 years. The scoreboards were dreadfully old, old school box tvs with an old system. Which is fine, whatever. Except for the other lanes scoreboard we had didn’t even turn on. The worker instructed us to just us the computer screen to look at our scoreboard. When we decided to leave, we asked the owner if we could have our money back because of the scuffs on our balls. The owner would not honor this, and said “yeah I usually like to tell people not to use their own balls”. Yet, he failed to tell us this until after we scuffed our balls. I will never go here again. If you smoke crack, you may find it a cozy environment. And who knows, you may find some in the carpet at this bowling alley. There was 2 other groups there while we were and by the time we left after an hour, they all left too. Do not go here. Either find a different alley, or don’t go bowling. But if you smoke crack, you might be able to go there and take a hit with the owner or the worker during their shift.

Said they were open and they weren't.

Worst lanes I've ever been at, lanes chewed up my ball, no safety during Covid times.

We love bowling here, prices change weekly though.
