Open Post Covid Review:Since the Palace opened back up post Covid, I really like what they have done. Each section is separated with a glass partition and tables in that lanes section is roped off. Makes it all feel very VIPish. The only thing that would make it really VIP is if the ropes were velvet. After when you are done bowling, you leave your shoes and bowling balls in the lane. That way they can pick it up an clean it.I enjoyed the bowling experience and would definitely go back! The Palace has always been the best place to bowl!

I have a blast on the Monday night league. They also have good food. My son and I have lots of fun just goofing off and the pro shop isnt bad. Had a thumb hole drilled out and a new ball drilled by them. Not the friendliest in the pro shop but they get you stuff done

A great place for a good time. They do a great job enforcing social distancing and the wearing of masks.The pizza is worth a regular carryout order! Its delicious.

This place was a ton of fun! Had been years since any of us had been bowling and even though I slipped and slid halfway down the lane, it was still tons of fun! I had more fun and made a bigger fool of myself than Ive done in years if ever. Staff was helpful, lanes were slick and smooth, and the polisher of the balls had a gentle touch and smooth finish on the balls!

My kids took me here for my 62nd birthday it was Great

Very impressed with the safety and social distancing procedures in place due to covid! Entrances/exits are all one way, and everything is roped off in one way walkways to your designated lane to keep high traffic areas safe. Granted, we were the only ones in the alley during our time today (9:30am), had it of been busier, we would of felt very safe. They are running at half capacity with lanes. It was very cool, temperature wise, and we didnt feel stuffy at all wearing our masks (I had a 6 and 9 year old with me). All bowling balls are sanitized and given to you via an employee from behind a contained area. Once youre finished bowling, you leave your shoes/balls at your lane and they take care of sanitizing them for you. Again, very impressed with safety procedures and definitely will return again!

Felt awesome to get out and bowl. Clean place. Staff was nice. Nice spot to bring your children.

Really friendly employees, clean facility. Fun all around for all ages

This is one of the most classiest and nicest bowling alley. Their chairs and tables are very nice. They have good prices. They also have a nice selection of food and a nice area dedicated to it. They also had a bar in another section. There was a arcade too. We stayed there for about 3 hours since there was so much to do. I recommend it for big familys.

This place is a joke.Ok so I understand new changes of service due to covid 19 and I have been following them. I abide by the rules with social distancing, wearing my mask, etc but the employees are not. It is posted masks required, and No mask no service is posted as well. Several employees had a mask but it was pulled down to their chin. The employees were not staying 6 feet apart. There are one way paths and no one was abiding by that either. Even several other customers not trying to stay 6 feet. I know that we are all tired of wearing masks etc but they have terrible work ethic. I have to follow the guidelines at my job and I do but it seems these people dont really care

Kids had a great time. Think the could clean the house balls a little better turned my daughters white nails grey. But stay was very nice.

They are keeping covid safety policy very well! I could enjoy bowling time without worries.

The best bowling spot in Columbus hands down. The food is great and they have excellent customer service. Good job guys, keep up the good work

Great customer service but it’s pretty obvious they don’t take COVID-19 seriously. They’ve closed down half the lanes, so everyone is forced to be in close quarters with everyone else. Social distancing was impossible and masks aren’t required when at the lane so the only thing protecting everyone was a few pieces of plexiglass place between each lane. I used to love this place but I will not be back.

Ask to me moved from a lane because of poor conditions(slope in lane) and John(employee) rudely talked down to me and refused to move us lanes. Will not be coming back. Would not recommend this bowling alley to anyone. The staff needs to appreciate customers while they still have them.

I love bowling here. The bars a little pricey.

Great place they have really taken big steps with covid to keep customers safe

Good, large bowling center. Their $11/3 hours weekday deal can be a great deal for a small and ambitious group. The pizza and subs place was surprisingly slow on Black Friday: my son and I bowled a game and a half before our order of a hot sub came out. But in over 9 games each the equipment worked fine, with only a couple of pins miss-scored.

Great place to have fun and reconnect with family.

It was our 1st time here today. Took our nephew and granddaughters, they were the only bowling alley that had open lanes. A friend of mine and her granddaughter joined us too! We did have some issues with the lanes they put us on so in the middle of our game we had to move. It was something different and we all had a fun time together

Fresh lanes and cold beers for the win

We enjoy this place and it is pretty close to where we live. The guys are usually nice but tonight there was a lady with short red hair and she was so rude. It is a busy Sunday night for them and when we came to the counter she was chatting with friends till I said can you help us because the guy was on the phone. Our lane was not cleaned so I went back up to ask them to clear it. She responded rudely telling me shes in the middle of something . We wont be back here because of her. Its no tworth it dealing with rude people

Large, well ran and well maintained facility!

Nice bowling alley. I was there to watch my nephew bowl in the state tournament. My only complaint was that there was over 1,000 patrons, but just 2 people working in the restaurant. Those kids could not keep up with the crowd.

Went for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Event. It was fantastic! They do a great job of organizing the event and this was a great place to have it.

Nice bowling alley. They have a lot of different specials throughout the week. Will definitely be returning in the future!

Great place. Nice, clean facility with a great coach (Ron Hatfield) available. Snack bar was excellent as well. Had an Italian sub that beats any sandwich chain in the area. Nice lounge as well.

For the price, GREAT deal! Open 24 hours as well which serves as a huge bonus. For a Friday night, it cost my group of 4 under $40 for shoe rental and bowling for an hour ($6 an hour and $3 shoe rental per person). We were able to get in right away since there are so many lanes here, 64!! However, not in the nicest location. I did not experience any troubles, but knowing the area have heard of all kinds of incidences happening. No issues with cleanliness or disorganization. Love that there is a local 24hr bowling alley. The food wasnt too bad either!

Love this place when i go bowling i always come here an their Thursday special is awesome! Always clean an drinks are always great.

We had a great time at the Palace! We love going there with the kids. It is very affordable, and kid friendly. Lots of kid friendly snacks and food to buy. Great place for a fun time!

Grew up in Columbus. Hadnt been back for about 25 years. Looked for bowling alley that was not around anymore. Ended up here and glad I did. Staff was vey friendly. Never being there before I could have been charged more. The gentleman behind counter explained the specials and suggested what would be the cheapest. Great lanes. Well kept. Wish bowling was as popular down south. Not much competition so it depends on proprietors on whether it stays in good condition. Will come again the next time Im in Columbus. Great job guys.

Great customer service very clean

Ive been going to the Palace weekly for the last year and a half as a weekend co-worker get together. This past weekend, we had a large group of 18 for a going away party for some coworkers. We spent around $500 between games, food and drinks for everyone that night. Around 1:15am, we had our lane shut down and were told to quiet down or else we would be kicked out. We were having fun and laughing, and would cheer when one of our group bowled a strike. It was a Friday night, and we were having fun. We were not interfering with any other patrons games, or hurting ourselves or equipment. We will likely be taking our outings to Gahanna Lanes from now on.

We paid for two games but the timer ran out and we werent able to complete our games.

Definitely a fun place.

Fun place to bowl in WCOL league. Seating leaves a bit to be desired. Same tables and chairs from 10+ years ago. Needs upgraded badly.

No thrills bowling, a little pricey for what they offer in my opinion. All of their balls have cracks and chunks out of them. They do not have the interactive machines or good food like Sequoia Pro Bowling does. If you are trying to pick between the two go to Sequoia, or make sure to bring your own ball to Columbus Square.

Im surprised it was clean for the size of the place. Friendly employees and a nice atmosphere. My family enjoyed it

Been going here since I was a little kid. Place has definitely gone down hill. Food is way too expensive. No free refills? Are you kidding me? Especially when I can go to Sawmill and spend the same, unlimited refills. My meal was burnt and the guy literally left it sitting there for over 10 mins. For what I got, it wasnt worth no 12 something. The two guys back there in the diner didnt seem to care at all to serve my friends and I. I love bowling there, but make some upgrades and changes to your menu and just MAYBE I will come back. Otherwise, Im staying at Sawmill, where the refills are unlimited, and the food tastes so much better.

High School Bowling Tournaments. It was an awesome experience.

Enjoyed celebrating the end of my and the beginning of my nephews birthdays, we had a great time

Good place to host a large group, or kids bday party. Facility is clean, and staff is kind. Pricing is very fair.

Sweet place. Open 24/7 with tons of lanes. They run awesome specials on different days. Like Tuesday is two dollar Tuesday. Everything is two dollars. Two dollars per game. Two dollar shoe rental and two dollar pizza I believe. Wednesday you can rent a lane for 20 dollars for 2 hrs as much bowling as you want. They also have the standard other stuff there like arcade games and beer and food. Its standard but they have great prices. Better than any other place Ive been to in Columbus.

Great place to hold Bowl for Kids Sake - Big. Brothers Big Sisters event

Large alley with many lanes, cantina,full bar, automatic scoring, arcade, clean facilities, and friendly, helpful staff. ample parking. great for parties.

Pretty average experience. Not a bad thing by any means. Not bad. Not amazing. It was a serviceable alley with a decent price. The house balls were a bit jacked up though... As in very in some cases. But with a place this big, youre going to get a handful of those.

Incredibly slow bar service. Poorly maintained and dated. Premises doesnt match the price.

I love it so beautiful amazing

Very big and nice but it dont have changing tables in the ladies room to change a baby

Fun place but a little pricey

So much fun, the daily pricing specials are so worth it

Great place to spend an afternoon/evening having fun!

Go here at least once a week 4 dollar Tuesday is great

What more can you ask for?? Its 24 hours!!! And thats awesome for any occasion

I had some much fun bowling here The pizza is big and Delicious

Its fun with new auto score it shows ball speed goodtime

Open 24 hours a day. Staff is friendly! 64 lanes so no waiting around for leagues to finish.Very comfortable seating area with space to move around. Dave and Greg at the Pro Shop are outstanding and knowledgeable.Blue Sky Lounge has a great atmosphere and bartenders are great.Oh did I mention they are open 24 hours a day?Come get your bowl on!!

Great place for bowling! The entire place is clean, and they have a top-notch snack area with great food. We bowl for fun, in leagues, and have church bowling parties there. Always great staff.

It a great place. I love the pizza

Great, clean place to bowl.

It was awful, out lane kept breaking and the guys working the front desk were rude when I told them about it. Dont go there

Always fun to bowl and you have a bar on the side the Manager on the bar is so friendly you feel like going to friends and have fun yop place to go

Such a good time with friends and family. And who knows you may run into someone famous. We did!

Bowling alley with alot of lanes, fairly well maintained, fairly good service.

Had a great time the staff was amazing also

Lots of lanes. Plenty of space for your group. The staff was very helpful, and they actually had shoes that fit me. Another issue that I have is finding a ball that fits my fingers, bit not here. I found three in quick succession.

Ok Service. Pretty Clean Place

When in Columbus Ohio and you are a bowler or you and your family/friends and looking for a fun night out... take you talent to the palace.

Loved it great place for family!!

Tons of lanes, this place will get the job done. Especially if its the weekend, the bars close, and you still want to be out with your friends at 3am - take an uber here, and *try* to bowl. Decent enough food and beer selection. Little pricey to bowl. But again, for being open 24/7, this place is awesome.

Ron Hatfield is an awesome Gold Coach

Great place to hang out and bowl with some friends

Nice bowling alley, good family fun! Pizza is OK, definitely not winning any awards, though, staff is very friendly and helpful.

Whenever I come home for visits I make it my best effort to come bowling and The Columbus Palace is always nice to come to. 24hrs and great specials.

Always host good state tournament for my daughter

Great Food & Great Bar & TvsBut Theres A Cop That Profikes You Before You Get In And Walks Uo To Your Car With Flash Light. Totally Turned me off from place. Is it fun place for your family and friends or somewhere you ahould be afraid to go. Smh

Great place great staff clean great price are family had a blast we will be back very soon thank u for the great experience

Great facilities, helpful staff, good times!

Most fun my family had on vacation was here! Super friendly staff!

It was my first time there and it was impossible to slide. The approach was very sticky. Everything else was very nice. It was just impossible to slide (with rental shoes). I even tried a second pair and there was no change.

Great place to have fun! Love bowling, this is the place! Especially for parties!

64 lanes and a super large concourse, so the center is large. Being open 24 hours a day makes the bowling center unique. The one hit is that the prices for lane time is the most expensive I have seen.

Played here for 3 hours and had a great experience. Did have to call ball return a few times. Didnt mind it tho.

Really liked the service and great time. Will be going back. We even had a hiccup with the ball getting jammed but friendly staff fixed it in a flash.

Fun times, beverages are pricey and bartender not so friendly

Fun time. Would be nice if there were table service. Clean and safe feeling. Nice music. Nice staff

Great time and a great place to take the family and have fun

The people at the desk are always quick to resolve problems. Very nice and helpful. The cafe food is good and there is a bar. This is the best bowling alley!!

Finally, clean bathrooms. That was a huge plus for me. We had hours of fun here. The bar is a great addition and made our party even better. Yes, it is open 24/7. It was filled to the brim when we went, but so a great feeling. The music was very good and not dated.

Family place n have a lot of fun

Here for the men’s state tournament. Great place! Excellent prices on food and beverages. Staff is also awesome! Donna (bar) , Shannon (bar) , and Anthony (front desk) are notable employees as they were very helpful, caring and polite.I don’t live here but would totally recommend this place to others.Awesome job guys.

Great atmosphere and nice staff, some of the bumpers in lanes dont work well though...

Relaxing. I enjoy the bar. Atmosphere u can bring kids & adults u can still enjoy yourself.

Clean, staff was helpful and nice. Good family fun.

This place will forever be the hangout spot for my work crew as well as the family. The lanes are well kept and the music is diverse enough to tough everyone’s tastes. There is good food and a nice bar area to enjoy a drink after a long work day. Top it off with a little competition in the arcade and you have yourself and amazing night any time of day since they’re 24 hours.

Im not really fond of this place. I was homeless about a year and a half ago went in about once a week to bowl also knew someone that worked there. I went in one day after the person i knew that worked there got fired they looked at me and said you cant be in here your banned. I done nothing wrong. They even stopped me from walking in there parkinglot and im a disabled person had 2 open hearts scoliosis hypertension and a colonoscopy bag. They really made me feel some type of way.

This place is awesome. So many lanes to bowl on. Food is excellent, Mr. Pannell Sr showes so much hospitality. Thanks Columbus Square for a wonderful time each and evwry time im there.

My friends and I come here every Thursday night and we love it. The deals and bowling specials are fantastic, the food is good (maybe a little overpriced but what do you expect from a bowling alley) and the guys running the register for the bowling area and the restaurant are usually pretty cool. The only thing that is frustrating is the lanes are constantly breaking. Sometimes the guards do t raise back up or it keeps your ball or it even re racks your whole lane even after your first bowl no matter how many you knock down. If there was like a full maintenance check/update on all the lanes, that would be superb but even so, we still love coming here and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon

Always a great time. Employees are very friendly. Facility is clean. Great music.

My kids love it! Family orientated, good vibes
