The best bowling alley in the West County area! The prices are always reasonable, drinks normal priced and strong. The staff is always nothing but friendly and responsive.

Bowling is good. Seems to be family friendly. The staff is very professional and friendly. Although when busy they don’t have enough people helping out. Food is pretty good. Keep in mind it’s bar food. They also have a small pro shop which convenient to get stuff as needed.

Best alley in the stl County area. Actual wood lanes, the best pro shop for drilling a ball (although the shop is by appointment only), and incredible pizzas.The alley also takes incredibly good care of their league bowlers.

This is a nice clean bowling alley. There is no smell of smoke which is really nice. This bowling alley has more pinball machines and video games than most of the ones Ive seen in the St Louis area. The outside and parking lot are a bit rough but the inside of the bowling alley is actually quite nicer.

Had my daughters birthday party here. She had a blast but one of the women working there was super rude until my mother snapped back at her, then she changed her attitude and started being nice. The arcade had great games but many did not work. Food was decent.

So much fun! I want here with my friend when we had a sleepover, and we both had a great time together! The people who work there are very nice and are always willing to help make sure that everything is running smoothly and that you are always having fun and playing bowling

This is our kids favorite place to celebrate birthdays and hangout with family. Love that it is a family business.

We had a company outing which was fun but one of the ladies who wanted to bowl had a bad shoulder with nerve damage asked to have the bumpers up. The guy attending the counter said they only put the bumpers up for 10 and younger. Wouldnt have had a problem with it but he was extremely rude and could care less. As much fun as we had we wont be back because of this one guy!

Had a family outing over Thanksgiving with us taking up multiple lanes. I would encourage others to rent a lane for 2 hours in the late afternoon.

Have wrestling events here every year and they do a good job. Just wish the employees were more inventive.

Bowling is bowling. What I love about this place is how well they take care of my family and the great deals they have to bring a new generation to the game. A recommended way to beat the heat during the summer.

We planned our kid’s bday party and it unfortunately happened to be around same time as some inter school competition. We did not have have anyone to help us out and had to go and call them each time. We did not have a party host to help us, we just got a party room, paper plates and forks and left to fend for ourselves. And, 2 of the cheese pizzas were burnt . If they couldn’t help us due to the event , they could have told us about it . I have been here before and it was not this bad . It ruined our day .

I had to check this place out after reading about thier arcade on reddit. Out of my 10 favorite video games from the 80s, they had 9 of them. All original machines I believe. Its definitely old school, but if you were into Ms Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Tron, Asteroids, Moon Patrol, Centipede, etc. Theyre all here. I was amazed at how good of a condition they were in. Controls worked smoothly, spinners worked great, track balls were clean. Whoever put this together obviously cares about maintaining history and bringing back old memories. Most games were still only a quarter. They even had a lunar lander game.

Watched my granddaughter bowl in her high school tournament. Lanes were nice and the snack bar stayed busy.

I do not like this place. I am a bowler and this place is the worst. It is crammed and crowded and there is no space. The lanes are ok ish but the bowling alley is just crowded.

Old school bowling center with a cozy sports bar/lounge. Friendly atmosphere, lots of regulars, definitely a neighborhood place! Reminds me of Cheers when I walk into the bar. The employees are super friendly, and they do great birthday parties for both kids and adults! Owned by local family, 3rd generation. One of my favorite places.

I love this place. Its like stepping straight into 1985 without the cigarette smoke and disrepair. Bowlings great, arcade is spot on. Nevermind dont go, youll end up ruining it for me. Stay away!

Lanes were fine but the rude staff refused to give my gf a lighter ball... told her she was “too heavy”. Also wouldn’t let us pick our lane when the place was empty.

It seemed like a fun place to bowl and get food and drinks and hang out. Close to home. Couldnt even get far enough to order a drink or food. We tried flagging down the bar staff for a good 5 mins and still no service. Will try again later due to the fact that we were given free game tokens.

We loved it here. Came with some young boys for the video games. Everyone working there could not have been nicer. Lots of liquor choices at a great price. The bowling looked fun, especially the glow bowl.

I have been here many times and the only reason for my return is the location. Past that the staff are just flat out rude and service is terrible. I dont want to rant so I will stop here but if you are into bowling and can go anywhere else I highly recommend avoiding here.

Owners are very friendly, prices are extremely competitive especially compared to the next closest bowling alley. If youre just going for a drink theres room for you too. During slow hours is best because youre basically guaranteed a lane and dollar bowl Mondays are never too busy.

Employees sucked the fun out of bowling. I wanted to use the kids ramp because Im bad at bowling and thought it would be funny to see an 18 year old to be using it. Employee walks up and says ,Really, your not a kid and took it away and ruined my night of bowling.

Hate to be this guy, but dont waste your money here. Its pricier than other bowling allies, the arcade is subpar, the food was gross( soggy mozzarella sticks), the guy running the arcade was a dick(wouldnt let my son get a 100 prize cause he had 97 tickets), and overall the customer service was terrible.If its the closest thing to you and convenient then maybe its worth it, but its certainly not a destination.

Decent alley, good greasy food.Had my sons bday party here and it was a bit of a mess. Most of the games didnt work or just stole the game tokens, the ticket exchange machine was constantly broken, the staff was really busy and not prepared to handle the party, like we had to ask for plates. Then water. Then forks. Then napkins. Like theyd never done this before.Over all I like the place and the staff is really nice but its just really disorganized
