Better job of clients social distancing. 2 games for $7.50 seems high. Snack bar has some good stuff and some lousy. Their ssteak or waffle fries are great. Skip the poppers. All comfort food. New memes on screen with bowlers faces are great. Really a hoot. Great new program. Big hugs of sanitizer. Watch the ticket scam. In the game room. I know someone who spent $40 in quarters getting tickets to pick out a $5 pillow

We had a blast! The food and beer was good. When our time was up, he even let us finish our game with 6 turns left. Pool only cost a dollar. Lots of different things to do besides bowl. I definitely recommend this place. Friendly environment and workers.

I go bowling weekly with my Papaw and Dad, and we have grown to love this place very much. Its given us a space to learn and have fun! The staff is wonderful and has been so much help!! When my papaw fell on the lane last week they were nice to rush over and get ice and Advil and help make sure he was okay! (He is fine now, just a scare) the food is good, and they make it pretty fast, considering its usually pretty packed!! Alongside with the bowling lanes they have an arcade area, claw machines, pool, and air hockey! They also have a little shop in the back for bowling balls, shoes, shirts, and more, Giving everyone a little bit more than the normal bowling alley would. The prices are wonderful, they are sweethearts, and I think this is a great place for families, friends, or even individuals looking to learn how to bowl. :)

I love that you can pick the format of your screen while youre bowling. The cartoon feature is the best, it uses a few photos that you take and it will keep you giggling!It also gives tips for your second bowl for each frame to help you get strikes!!

Fun and busy atmosphere! Definitely didnt feel empty like some bowling alleys do. Lanes and balls are in good conditions and not a long wait time to get in. Plenty of parking as well. Definitely a great bowling alley.

32 Basic bowling lanes; we came on a Saturday and there was no wait. Family had a great time. Would recommend. However, bathrooms were somewhat crude, specifically the stall doors. They locked but the rod went into the wall. No big deal.

Took employees bowling around 1pm on a Tuesday . They acted shocked that we just showed up. They said they didnt have food, just vending machines. We ordered pizza from a local pizza place and then were told we couldnt eat it inside...had to stand outside and eatThen saw one of the employees eating a big order of nachos and cheese. Not a good experience.

The bowling alley is great in many ways.. Its well kept inside. The outside needs cleaned up with all the cigarettes butts every where, but overall the build seems well kept. They have a bar and a snack counter. Kids have the arcade games center. The jukebox is expensive. Most songs cost 50 cents to play. The food is typical with burgers and French fries, etc. Some of the food runs on the high end. Its a fun atmosphere and all ages can enjoy

It would be super great if they didnt stack random families into your lane when the rest of the bowling alley is wide open. Otherwise, good place.

This bowling alley is pretty awesome. There’s plenty to do aside from bowling. There’s pool tables, air hockey, a few arcade games, concession stand, a fully stocked bar, plus updated bowling screens. I’ve been here a few times and I always have a blast. The prices are pretty reasonable and the staff is friendly. I’ve been here on a date night with my husband and I’ve also been here for some family fun. There’s something for everybody! I’d definitely recommend this place to friends and family.

I went there several times before. Classic Bowling Lanes offers some cheap deals on Monday and Thursday. You can play bowling all night for around $8-11. They serve icy cold beer and other drinks so you should definitely get some and have fun!

Review №62

Went for my birthday. Bowlong lanes were great but dont bother playing pool! Tables are filthy and have stuff stuck all over them. Pool cues and balls are old and damaged. Tables lean. It was impossible to even hit the cue ball into the other balls. All the balls rolled to one corner. Was very disappointed.

Review №63

This is a good place. Being new to town we wanted to try bowling. The prices seem a little high compared to what we were used to but not outrageous. The place uses fairly new technology for their screens and player interaction. the place was well lighted and clean and they offered several other things like pool, food, etc. I recommend the place.

Good place to bowl since renovations. However, league nights tend to be on nights with deals to only allow small amounts of people to get deals. If you wait till 11pm though, you should have no problem getting in.

Decently maintained bowling alley with a solid grill and cafe. Equipment seems up to date and the entire place is clean. Staff are usually friendly though not always fast. Overall, you can get a good amount of entertainment for your buck.

Loud, you have to yell to talk. The staff werent friendly and seemed uninterested in their job. The premises was dirty, food and drinks spilled everywhere and cigarette butts all over the ground upon walking in. Too bad its the only bowling place in town.

Absolutely fantastic bowling alley with games for a good price. Got to Bloomington a way too early before a Monday night basketball game and decided to come here to kill some time. Games were $2.25 and we had the place pretty much to ourselves. Alley has fun bowling screens that let you take a selfie and has dancing characters if you roll a strike/spare. Also have nice pool tables and arcade games.

We were there for a company event of my mother inlaws and had a great time bowling. They have very interactive bowling kiosks and the bumpers go up and down for the people who need them. The pizza wasnt the best pizza in the world but it was a bowling ally.

Prices of bowling have gone up about 4 times in the last 4 years, but they have made a lot of improvements. Its a good place to blow some steam off and throw some balls as some pins or roll them whichever one you choose to do!

Tried 3 times to go bowling with my kids, each time we were turned away because it was a different leagues night and would be open to the public till 8... I got kids that need to go to bed to go to school can’t stay that late

Loved bowling here. Everything is good and nice about this place. A lot of tables to sit if you are in a group. Have pool tables and games too. Only think I did not like was there is hardly any good food items if you want to eat there and service at bar is very slow. The toilets were not managed, no toilet papers in any of them and water from taps was burning hot, you cant wash hands directly under tap. I even told the staff about it so that accidently any kid doesnt burn their hands.The bowling part was good, staff at counter was friendly and helpful.

Tuesday bowling is always a good time, and $.97 games are a steal. Wes is always helpful and respectful too.
