MellyVeJuly 15, 2012Beware of older grumpy women and bowling etiquette. While most people bowl to have fun, some people take it too seriously. Join a league already!- Joseph B.March 16, 201540 lanes, each with their own painting of a Chicago landmark. Lots of free parking, cheap beer, and modern equipment.
Jeremy AgulnekDecember 28, 2012I'm confused...the "check-in special" is really the permanent pricing for Monday - Friday 9am - 12pm bowling. What's so "special" about this??? BTW - love coming here, especially with the kids.
David KollerJanuary 17, 2016Such a fun place for bowling and lots and lots of lanes so you never have to wait.
- venessa tarbellNovember 17, 2011Very kid-friendly. Bummer pads and cosmic bowling. This alley also participates in the Kids Bowl Free summer program.
Samuel O.February 9, 2014My Saturday night: took 10 min to get a beer, 30 min to get some chicken tenders, only 3 pool tables in the whole place, 45 min wait to get a lane, packed. But was there anywhere else to be? Nope.

Christopher MarshallApril 25, 2010Awesome arcade selection while you wait for an open lane. Cosmic bowling is tons of fun but they could stand to play a little less hiphop-r&b.
open bowl for the taking Summer during the week. Winter means League is coming.
Philly GDecember 31, 2012Parking lot in the back. Bar and arcade to go to while you wait an hour for a lane
Isaac SinnettJanuary 22, 2012Worst place ever! Will never go back. They kept putting big groups ahead of me and when I asked they said they just went in order. Not sure where they learned to count but 25 followed by 47 is uh????
raul hernandezMarch 28, 2010Get an ice cold pitcher of @MillerLite during the hour wait for a lane..
