Great place to take the kids out while bowling. Laser tag and dodge ball for all ages. Not the best games for arcades but for kids this will do. Busy place during the evening and the food are pretty good here.

This has been our go to family fun activity. Get some bowling on, dinner, and arcade fun. We are now regulars and we cannot describe how awesome the team is here. The managers and staff are all amazing. Our group probably drives them crazy but they are very good at staying professional and fun. Keep up the good work and we will see you guys next week.

Nice and quiet, we received a cooperating person in reserving this event. Meeting our plans for our group. No issues in the duration of the time there. Very welcoming.

Nice bowing place with great ambiance. Perfect for throwing birthday parties or get together for kiddies. We were about 15 people and secured the area for ourselves. The serving staff was a bit slow in getting drinks and food and the quality of beverages and food was okay. I would recommend looking for coupons before you go here. I would only go again if I have coupons or a major discount. Not worth paying the full price.

1st night of league it was great to be back minus the covid 19 of course. It was great and the lane conditions were great.

I only played one game as we were driving through town, however the service I received from Aubrey and Tyler were worth mentioning. I appreciate everything. They made it seem like they really cared (not saying they didn’t.. they obviously did). They represented your company do well I want to hire them myself.

We had a really fun time hosting our company party. The staff and management were friendly, available, and did an amazing job setting up for our party, right down to the decor. They were on top of keeping food full and drink orders filled so we didnt have to worry about a thing. Thanks for a great experience!

Kids had fun with games, no place to sit and watch kids play though.

The place is very clean and I always have fun when I visit even with small children. The food is pretty meh. The drinks are, wow, way overpriced. They do a great job when hosting parties that are prearranged and reserved, but seem to fall short on the service side for impromptu bowling nights. The arcade variety is not great and is geared more toward carnival style games. Overall, you can expect to have a great time here with your friends or family but consider eating elsewhere ahead of time.

My sister rented 2 bowling lanes for my nephews birthday for $300, I dont remember if it is unlimited people, but it was unlimited pizza / drink / chicken tenders for 2 hours. Plus, shoes were included ;) It was fun and arcade was awesome and filled with new gaming systems. They have a soft ball shooting room with an objective to hit your opponents targets to score points. It was fun, especially playing with the little ones, and probably even more fun for those watching in on the competition. Laser tag is always fun there since they have 2 floors to play it in. Overall, great place for lots of fun for all ages.

Great place for a family get together. The only reason for a 4 is because every time I come here its hard to find bowling balls since they are left at lanes. But they have good food and friendly service.

Have always had a good time here. Just signed my kids up for a bowling club. Great way for the kids to learn a new skill and bot have to sign up for months and months of a bowling league.

Review №17

Great bowling alley in a convenient location. Finding bowling balls was actually a chore here though. The shelves they should be on were nearly empty and it wasnt that busy. I had to go around to empty lanes that had balls in the rack and look for one that worked. Ended up with a 15 lb. that was both too heavy and holes were too big. Seems odd a place this size has such a limited selection.Besides that, great time. Would go again. Recommend.

Great family fun. Brought my 10 year old Grandson and Nephew for bowling and pizza.I no longer bowl but they do and had a blast. Service was great and so was the food.

Great atmosphere for a kids party, but the food is also good enough to keep the adults happy. Friendly and helpful wait staff. Clean environment (a true feat for a bowling alley/arcade).

Review №23

Very bad and disorganized of how they keep track of the games played per lane. We were over charged and Quincy was unsure himself who pay what after others had paid for there lane. Brunswick had much better services and well organized than Bowlero. First and last time coming out here.

Bowling is to much money on most nights, especially the weekend. Better to go when they have their unlimited blowing deals. Fun place for the whole family, with arcades, lazer tag, and billiards.

This is a great place to bring the grandkids! Half price arcade games on Wednesdays. There are specials on open bowling and specials on drinks and snacks. It’s clean, and all the experiences we’ve had with staff have been positive.One time there was no open bowling lanes available, so the attendant gave us some loaded arcade cards for the kids to use for free instead! We love it here.

We had a nice time. However, arcade games were pricey, and over way too quickly if played by younger/inexperienced children. Hot dog was $7.00 and included a few fries. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

Review №43

Absolutely love the atmosphere of this place. Ive had a really good time hanging out at the arcade with my nephews. We havent had a chance to check out the bowling yet, but it looks really fun. They always really enjoy going. We always go on Wednesdays because of the double ticket/half price games.The food itself is just alright and severely overpriced. Its typical bar food, so just know what youre getting into at those prices. But who goes to a place like this for the food anyway.A little worried about how long this place is going to be around because this location is always empty of people when we arrive, doesnt really seem to matter what time of day we hang out.

Review №44

Its ok. I wouldve rated it better if we didnt continue to have technical difficulties with the lanes, the pins not functioning, and the bumpers not disengaging(in the beginning) during our bowling time there. Worker had to continually come fix. I approached the worker when I was returning my shoe, about the inconvenience and she said that they dont do refunds, but I told her that was not what I was intending her to do. She then said I can add more time, but by then everyone had already returned their shoes. So I told her no point. There was no sincerity or anything. I guess just a simple, I apologize for the inconvenience would have sufficed, but I didnt even get that. But we all made the best of our time there and at last enjoyed our time together.Next time, I just hope that doesnt happen again. I know things happen that cant be controlled, but to spend that much money on bowling and to lose out on time that we paid for because of the inconveniences was just not worth it to me. I guess more maintenance needs to be done and more training for the workers. Im not trying to be rude. Just being honest. Photo is of the two lanes with issues.

Probably really good for family bowling but horrible from a league bowlers perspective. Approaches were dirty and sticky and food was not the greatest

Review №51

First off, the drinks here are really good! Get yourself a Moscow Mule! They come in the tin cups. Bowlero is a huge location, consisting of about 20 or so bowling lanes. The lanes have large screens at the end of them, lined up with powerful projectors that stream a variety of sports. It also contains a fairly large arcade where you purchase a card to fill up on points; 40 for $20, and games cost between 2-6 points.

Review №53

The place was very nice for a bowling alley. The alley was very clean and everything looked brand new. The most of the food we ordered was good as well. Only reason for the for the very low rating is an issue we had with one of the food items we ordered. We ordered nachos and they were not good so we didn’t even eat them. We told the manager and he took 50% off the nachos. I asked him to take the full amount off since we didn’t even eat them he said the policy only let him do 50% off. I told him we planned on going to laser tag so that was an extra $60 he would get for his business all he had to do was take care of us with the nachos we didn’t eat (not the price but the principle). Anyway he refused so we just left. Bad experience for us. 9 people who were buying food, drinks and bowling and planning on spending more money but we couldn’t get taken care of. Very disappointing

The experience was wonderful. We booked a 2 hour session for 7 adults just for a day of fun. We played arcade games, 2 rounds of lazer tag and one game of bowling. There was unlimited food and drinks provided and the manager on duty Ryan was amazing with his hospitality and made the time we spent there so much fun. Many thanks and we will be back!!

We just had THE BEST DAY at bowlero!!! bowling? stellar. arcade? blew my tiny mind. laser tag?! DDR!!! it was all so much fun. i went with all my 20-something friends but recommend bringing a six year old to really get you hyped up, it adds even more to the experience. the pizza is awesome, and i definitely recommend the giant cookie/ice cream skillet. what i was exceptionally impressed by was how clean and nice everything is, and how lovely, polite, & helpful the staff was. my friends and i all decided this is absolutely where we’re having all of our birthdays from now on. thanks bowlero!!

Never again! WAY too expensive, bowled 2 games with 3 kids and 4 adults, had an $18 soft pretzel (really????) and a cheese flatbread pizza, 2 really gross bloody Marys and a pitcher of pop $200 bill! The kids, of course had to do the arcade, another $40 for cards and the games kept malfunctioning and eating up our credits, which they did put back on, but seriously frustrating. Granted the place is nice but hard on the pocketbook. Watch the drink prices too, a friend of mine was charged $13.00 for a cheap glass of wine.

A fun place to bring the kids or a few friends. The staff is always friendly and the food is fantastic. On less busy nights, sometimes the staff are spread thin and you have to hunt them down, but otherwise this place is wonderful.

Arcade games are way too expensive. You have to buy card and add money on it. $20 gives you 50 credit a and most of the games are 8 credits to play. Get ready to bring extra cash to play .

Review №78

Was fun for the kids to play in the arcade, but the food and drinks were terrible. I got wings and they were tough and dry. I ordered a whiskey Sprite, and it was all Sprite. My friend ordered a beer and it was flat and tasted like something you left out over night. They did replace his beer, but go for the games dont plan to eat or drink.

The staff were amazing and helpful. The bowling shoes were clean, lanes freshly serviced, large selection of house balls, and the arcade card system is convenient if you dont want your kids to lose tokens like at other local arcades.

Review №81

On a Friday night they only have ONE line open to check in and out of bowling. Even employees said it was ridiculous. Laser tag is awesome though.. however this is the same line to buy that too. UPDATE: They opened a second line 10 minutes ago and havent even helped anyone in the line w removed to. There are three people behind the counter and they are all talking to each other rather than helping. Its been 30 minute wait now. And they hold your credit card hostage so you cant toss cash and walk out. Alos 99% of the bowling balls available are small and extra small finger sizes. So good luck finding one that fits.

Review №86

I’m so happy I went back!!Due to an error in the computer system I missed out on the chance to celebrate my 25th birthday at this Bowlero location in April, and in my disappointment I left a negative review. I have since deleted that review, though, because the class-act management and staff went FAR above and beyond to make things right with me and my friends. Even though only about 1/3 of the people I invited could make it, I still couldn’t be happier with the experience I had today bowling with the people I love, enjoying good food, and epically losing my first ever game of laser tag. I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else for a birthday party again because I am so so grateful to the Bowlero team for the lengths they went to for me and my family. Best day ever!

Bowling alley is nice. The arcade is a joke. The service is almost non existent my family and I had 2 lanes with each have 8 people we Medes up bowling 2 hours and we had no one come by to ask us for food or drinks. When we arrived our alleys were cluttered with food and used plates from the party before us.

Love the atmosphere, not the price.Our family of 5 went here. Went to set up a game of bowling, the computer keys wouldn’t work ( so we had to get creative with our names) The bowling itself was a GREAT time! I love the booths instead of hard chairs,We will come back, but make sure it’s on a night that charges less money! We paid over $60 for our ONE game of bowling! That’s just crazy!

Nice place, renovations are nice. However...the Mermaids prices range from $1.49-$3.99. Games here are 5-6 dollars normally...Bowlero, Flahertys, any place else...dont waste your money. Just go to the Mermaid.

We went on a random weekend around 5pm and practically had the place to ourselves! You can bowl on the normal side or the cosmic side, ramps and automatic bumpers for the kids, appetizers on special and drink specials for the adults. Not the cheapest night out but was fun for us. The kids had a pizza that was huge and had great flavor (for a plain cheese... kids are picky sometimes) then they also had a pizza box so we could box up the leftovers and bring them home.
