    Visited for a work event, and we had a good time. The space is small but gorgeous, and it has character (like exposed brick walls, etc.) I can imagine it fills up during weekends, so get there early.

    Bowling + Food + Drinks = Fun Night Out. This place is geared toward an adult date night or night out with friends. 18 & up after 7pm. Reservations highly recommended.

    Try the fried quail! It had great texture. Nice and juicy. A tad bit too salty but an easy fix... Just peel off some of the batter. Really good, though.

    My go-to bowling lounge. Good food, good drinks and an old-school vibe that makes bowling cool again.

    I know it's a pricey burger, but it is one of the best in the city, hands down. Get it done Medium for a truly wonderful experience.

    Surprisingly good food -- Barrel burger & Big Chopped Bowl salas were standouts -- and good local beers on tap

    Beer selection smaller than expected. The Cornish meat pies are tasty. Jose is a friendly bartender.

    Great bar food that's perfect for bowling. Also, giant beers that help your game.

    Expensive but worth it. This is the place you go to have fun with friends, not the place you go to hone your bowling skills.

    The place was nice and the service was great but the only issue was that the cook didn't cook the burgers all the way through but overall it was great

    Cool atmosphere, kind of pricey, food is good, bowling decent. Seems very disorganized with service in both the restaurant and bowling area. They need to get it together, I may not be back

    Ask for Ryan at the bar and enjoy an old fashioned. That wasn't preparation... It was foreplay.

    Pretzel w/ fondu was good. Barrel burger was meh. Bowling was meh. Our lane literally broke down (center pin would never come up). Very nice interior and good beer selection.

    What a rip-off! The place is cool BUT the prices are exorbitant! $50 for an hour of bowling. $5 for a pair of shoes. $8 for a long island. Spend 25% of what this place charges at a regular alley!

    The bowling is overpriced and the pins are connected with strings. Huge ripoff. Even though it's not located there this is the epitome of what uptown is... all flash, no substance.
