    The dress code bars athletic wear, construction boots and backward-facing hats. Here you'll find leather couches and giant-screen, high-definition sets perched just above the pins. Read more

    If going with a big group, plan for a weekend outing since they don't take reservations during the week. The bowling experience is great, however the dining staff leaves much to be desired.

    Great place. I've been here for lunch, to bowl and just enjoy the bar and live music. Great time everytime.

    Pretty cool to look down the bowling lane (strobe overhead) at the huge TVs - ESPN, music videos, etc. Leather couches even! Good stuff, but food not so much, in my opinion.

    So disapponted! I've had the BBQ potato skins before and they were great but now they serve them WITHOUT BBQ!! How does that make it a BBQ potato skin??? Definitely not worth $9!

    Sit at the bar for amazing drinks made up by the bartenders. But don't expect them to tell you what's in them! ;-)

    Been here 5 times and the service has been unbelievably slow every time. That said, it's a pretty good time.

    Stay away. This food is overpriced bar food - the burger tasted like the meat had been frozen for months with Freezer burn and I am convinced it was heated in the microwave. Not going to be a repeat

    Don't order the chicken salad sandwhich - no flavor & swimming in mayo - I scraped off most the chicken salad and just ate the bread & tomatoes

    awful. Was told they closed at 12 when they closed at 11. Got there at 10pm to bowl & eat. Didn't get our food until 11 after we finished our game at 10:30 & they said we couldn't play another game.

    Nice place...drinks are a little pricy, but you don't have to deal with regular bowlers...not that all regular bowlers are bad, just...there aren't fat people here

    If it's a Friday night, make a reservation to avoid a 2 hr wait.

    Good live bands on the weekend but the service is mediocre at best. Just be prepared to wait a while for your drinks and such.

    Not sure how you are supposed to get a lane. They don't take reservations and the lady at the counter is completely worthless. I guess they just expect you to show up and wait, Horrible experience

    We arrived at 4 and were told there would be a 45 minute to hour wait. At 5:30 they told us it would still be at least another 30 minutes. At that point we left and never even got to bowl!
