The place seems clean and the bowling was fun, but it felt expensive. Would have been $89 for two hours for one lane - their prices on their website are not updated. But we got there while they were doing a deal where it was $80 for two games. Our party of four ended up paying $20 per person, but I never would have done that had it just been two of us. It feels very expensive. I'd give it 3.5 stars, rounding down because I'd never pay that price if it was just two of us.
Classic sunset park spot. Great for rainy days with a group of friends or a date. Everyone is super friendly, don’t be alarmed by the large security guard upon entry, he’s just there to help.
As other reviewers have stated, workers are rude and lanes malfunction a lot. First lane we had, it wasn't resetting pins correctly after strikes and balls kept getting stuck in the right side gutter. The worker was blaming us and saying that we, grown adults, weren't able to throw 10lb bowling balls and that's why they were getting stuck.
After trying to explain to him that no, we've all been bowling before so we know how much weight we can handle, he finally brings us to the front desk to switch our lane. After switching our lane, the pins were finally resetting correctly but it was incorrectly logging spares and strikes. At that point, we lost so much time, we just didn't bother. At least our balls weren't getting stuck anymore either.
I recommend going somewhere else.

Our after-school trip was 🔥🔥🔥 thank you. We enjoyed and will definitely be back! Very clean, friendly environment, cool Arcade in the back with the old-school games‼️ I just recommend upgrading the ladies' restroom, PLEASE.
I had a ball. Very organized and the lady at the front that gives you your lane and shoes was nice. A little pricey but cool. A little rowdy but security was good and definitely kept order. Would like to go again maybe at a different time.
This is a good place for a quick game of bowling. I came here with my wife and daughter on a Saturday around 1pm and was playing a game in no time. They have drinks for the adults and kids as well as food. I could definitely see myself coming back here in the future.
I've never been there before, and first impressions of the place was decent and enjoyable. I had a great time with coworkers for our first outing after everything started opening. Not to brag but had the highest score of all the games. Regardless, just visit and have a wonderful time.
