Excellent facility since the remodel. Friendly and helpful staff. Yes, the lightest ball an adult can use is 8 lbs because they don't want adults damaging the balls they use for toddlers. Yes, the music is largely left up to the employee and they might not like the same music as you. No, bowling is not the cheapest activity in town but you can always go sit at Barnes and Noble for free. Buy your own shoes and join a league. Then you pay $2 per game. Otherwise, its still cheaper than going to the movies.

I just had the worst bowling experience in my life. First of all, the lanes had way too much oil on them. Second of all, my bowling shoes were way too slick. Finally, what upset me the most was how I was treated by one of the employees. When I gave one of the employees feedback (an older lady with short, white hair) about my experience, she did not even apologize. Instead, she offered excuses about my experience and basically implied that my complaints weren’t valid. I am NEVER going to this bowling alley again.

If money isn't an issue for you or your family then please disregard this post; however, if you're a college student, young professional, or a family on a budget looking for a quick, cheap place to have a good time and bowl--this is not the place for you. 
         The prices listed are very misleading and vaguely brushed aside when you enter as you must defer payment to the end--as price depends on the number of games played. We were not informed of the prices upon entering, as a worker barely looked up from a book--quickly asked our shoe sizes and instructed us to "just pay at the end" when I specifically asked about game and shoe rental pricing and basically how the whole setup works (its been many years since I've been bowling).
          After renting shoes and playing two quick games, our total came to a whopping $26 and some change. There was no mistake in the price. Nothing personally against the bowling center, it was a fair environment and we did enjoy our time there. We initially planned and were excited on making it a weekly occurrence until being slammed with the unreasonable price for only an hour of fun. We were looking for a new (reasonable) activity to become regularly engaged in as we wait out these cold days and long winter nights and unfortunately this isn't the place. 
         Neither my friend or I will be returning in the future, nor will we recommend this location to those who ask as we feel purposely misled in regards to pricing--and flat-out taken advantage of. We felt led to share our experience to help others from making the same mistake we made. Lesson learned.

Great atmosphere and they've gotten even better since they remodeled. They have an awesome beer selection, including favorites from Terrapin and Creature Comforts. If you've got kids, the game room is excellent to keep them busy for a while.

Dishonest management. My 6yr old put $5 on a game room card and the machines would not start up on some of the swipes so she would swipe it again( I was with her and saw it). We realized that it was charging her for the ones that did not let her play and spoke to management. Even after showing them on the history that a charge was made but no tickets earned  (which is impossible on at least one of them because the lowest you could spin was 3 tickets) they acted as if I was the one trying to scam them!!! So they basically stole $1.50 from a 6 yr olds $5. Disgraceful behavior. BTW, this had happened to us a year or more ago with my son  for much more $ and the employee said he couldn't fix it because he didn't have access but gave my son an extra prize item. That employee also stated that it was a frequent problem...So buyer beware!
