    I usually got for the descent priced small plates and games that they have on the tv's. The bartenders are always friendly and happy to serve.

    They only go 21+ after 9p so get there early if you're younger. They have bowling, pool, and games on the TV so there's plenty to do. Maker sure you meet their dress code on the weekends though!

    Coming in with a group of friends or co-workers? Call and speak to one of the event planners for party packages including unlimited bowling, shoe rental, food and drinks!

    They’ve changed the menu: no more chicken wings, grilled or fried, but they do have a decent wings and waffles.

    They have HIGH FIVE food and drink specials on Wednesday. Live music and $5 drink and food specials in the wine bar which is off to the side.

    You will always bowl better after an Absolut on the rocks. And you will not be a sore looser if that does work for ya.

    Just about the damn finest bowling alley I've ever been in. Bowling is now in the realm of high end entertainment.

    Horrible service. Didn't get served for almost half an hour. Had to go up and ask for drinks. Longer than that to get food.

    Like sports? You will LOVE this place! Make sure you have room on your credit card-not cheap-basic bar food...nothing to write home about...
