  They should fix their 3rd party booking site. Made a reservation and they had a tournament. Not their fault but, should be addressed

  If you’re a fan of The Big Lebowski then this is your place. The vibe is definitely old school and vintage compared to your upscale bowling locations. If you want a place for casual bowling, drinks, and time with friends on the affordable side, then this is the place. The staff were nice and helpful overall. I could see myself coming back here with the boys. My only negative feedback is about the smoking and lanes breaking down. I won’t belabor much in that since other folks have pointed this out. It would be nice if there was more notification on the website or door that there is smoking indoors for folks with respiratory issues. I’m only saying this because my spouse has asthma and I could see that being an issue. The lane we were in broke down several times but the staff were quick to fix it, and eventually moved us to a different lane and gave us extra time without us even asking! Personally, I like the vibe of the place and was not bothered by the smoking. The lane issue was annoying but I think it was handled the best way possible.

  I’m not someone who usually leaves complaints, but I felt this experience needed to be shared. My wife and I stopped in after a long 13-hour workday. It was icy and hectic outside, and we were simply hoping to have one drink before heading home and getting up early for work the next morning. My wife had unfortunately forgotten her ID, and the brunette bartender with glasses let her know she needed it, which I completely understand. When it was my turn, I presented my valid government passport. I was told it wouldn’t be accepted due to it being “too sketchy lately.” While I can appreciate caution, this was disappointing, especially since I’ve been coming to this establishment—and others in the area—for over seven years without issue. What added to the frustration was seeing a child present in the venue, which felt inconsistent with how strictly identification was being handled. There were also no chairs available, no clear precautions beyond convenience for the staff, and overall the service felt rushed and unwelcoming. I want to be clear that I still like this place and would like to come back. This was just a disappointing experience, especially after a long day, and I hope it can be taken as constructive feedback rather than just a complaint.
