REVIEWS OF Kingpin Lanes IN Kentucky

Aaron Curtsinger

Nice place, nice lanes. A ton of lanes. However they are quite busy and sometimes there are long waits and it is expensive. Over 5 in a party and you have to rent an additional lane. I'm not a expert bowler so ten pins works just fine for my family.

Brian Vance

Benches where you sit to bowl are not functional for bowlers on leagues

Jenny Newman

They put on us on a lane that only one bumper went on, and after they moved us to the one next to it they set the next two sets of guests right next to us, including at the lane that wasn't working right and the family had little kids. When leaving they told my husband they were leaving the other lanes (23 weren't in use on our half of the place alone) open for leagues but we never saw any

jef fej

You can bowl. Me, I go for the $5.00 anytime lunch - sandwich, chips, drink. During league's you cannot beat the alcohol drink specials. Tip well when done.

Deidric Tupper

Interactive bowling lanes with great prices

Charles Winters

Very nice. VERY WELL RUN AND MAINTAINED. NICE ATMOSPHERE

Nancy Fahey

They renewed my fondness of bowling. We got to spray our shoes and balls after our bowling time (with Lysol) The drinks are generous in size. They have a warm up area I was fun.

Tommie Martin

Had a sparing good time❎

Sweet Savvy

I walked in and it looked very run down but it was actually really fun. Loved the bowling, the arcade is the best, and food tasted amazing!!

Victor Hethcox

Newly remodeled inside. Great family fun..

Andrew Arnold

Great bowling alley

Anya Hopper

Way bigger than it looks from the outside. Decent sized arcade area. Several bowling lanes. Food available for purchase. Call ahead to make sure leagues aren't bowling when you want to bowl!

Buddy Storrie

The absolute worst service for food and drink. Lanes always breaking down I've been bowling here on a league since the doors opened just keeps going down hill they need to find new management or I need to find a different place to bowl.

Thomas Mayer

Lots of fun

Tara Raye

Spent my birthday glow bowling I loved it!!!

Joseph Mancebo

It's a great place to get together with friends and/or family and have a wonderful time. BTW.....They have easy access for anyone who is disabled. Also, the bathrooms are handicap accessible. :-)

jason paul

The new renovations look great but not set up for league bowlers, several groups that I have talked to wont be returning due to the seating Also the last several weeks the ac gets turned on late so it is hot and the approach is sticky because of this.

Johnny Cordova

Great lanes and clean environment but service is lethargic as in addressing any issues the front registers and personnel is very slow

Latasha Champion

It was crowded, but we had fun.

Nishant Joshi

Good music, service and food and affordable.

Stan Triplett

Great, clean bowling place.

kenneth clark

Doesn't beat the wonderful fern bowl!

Deanna Schardein

Everyone was super nice and the bowling was fun but the music could definitely be better! It was loud, offensive, and violent videos!

MythBeliever6895

Great atmosphere! The lounge is always clean and service is fast and friendly. The lanes are well-maintained, the food is surprisingly good for concession food, and it's a great place for families.

Katherine Hall

We we're there for Special Olympics State Tournament.....very crowded but staff were beyond AWESOME.

Patricia Williams

Great place for fun

adam Dawson

Overpriced as it could be. $40 for shoes and one hour while the lanes only works half the time.

Meghan Wright

So fun! Even if you just roll gutterballs...

Todd Lewis

Bad downhill. Lowbrow anyway, but no food service in bar, 45 mins for (crappy) pizza. I come once a year for the last 6 years. Won't come back

D. Walton

Great atmosphere. Great fun.

Wilbur King

Always have a great time.great place for family

Joe'l Duvall

I had a great time volunteering at the Wheelchair Games for disabled Veterans.

Russell Johnson

I've been goin here for years

June Doe

The bowling alley is very nice, and I would be giving five stars if not for the food. They take ten to fifteen minutes to bring it to your table, and they certainly overcharge for the monzerella sticks. You pay over 6$ only to have five two inch mozzarella sticks brought to you. I expect at least five more sticks if your paying that much for such small mozzarella sticks. Get it for kids but not yourself.

Charles Gee

Kids part with kiddo bowling lanes. Really nice setup

Damon Hardy

Bath rooms could have been cleaner kids in the parking lot seemed to be up to no good dint know that I would let my kids go solo. Other than that good equipment and fair peices

Samantha Grace

My group had a great experience. We went around 6 on a Saturday and it was not crowded at all. The prices were a little high here but still enjoyable.

Kelly Wilson

Fun clean place! Family and friends had a great time. Kiddos loved the music and lights!

Cindy Sightler

Bowling alley is nice but service for beer and water suck.

Charles Knoop Jr

Had a good time, seems a little pricey for louisville area

MChelle

Had an awesome time with friends/family. Enjoyed the bowling alley, should do it more often.

Brandy Morris

First time and I loved it. Great atmosphere! Will come again with family and friends.

linda brody

Really enjoyed bowling the food and the people

Karen Haycraft

Great time bowling with the kids on "the dark side". Wish show rental wasn't so expensive.

Travis D

Very clean and modern bowling alley. My only complaint would be the pricing structure for kids. $4.75 per game + $4.50 for adults seems fair but charging that same price for a toddler or even a kid under 6 or 7 seems a bit much. As an adult I may get $9.25 worth of entertainment from a single game of bowling, but a child using a ramp and bumpers isn't seeking the same thing. I'd be inclined to bring my family more often if there was a friendlier pricing structure for children. I get that this is a business in a free market but little incentives for families goes a long way.

Robert Stringer

Good clean bowling alley

Belen Escobar

Bartender Britney was so energetic polite and helpful. Service was awesome deff coming back to the bar

Hannah J

Has a nice arcade too

Brennan Pizer

Some servers/cashiers awesome, others terrible... One that was sick repeatedly coughed into her hand instead of her elbow right in front of me, then proceeded to fill our beer bucket with her germ covered hands. Train these people to not be disgusting if they're going to work in front of house.

SHARON MITCHELL

There is so much to do besides bowling. Fun for the entire family..

Lighter Hearts

We had a great time!! The loaded nachos were good.

C Novak

A group of friends and I decided to try this place out during their "night bowl" on a Saturday. We were ultimately disappointed. The music was good, but the sell point on their site about it being "dance club" like was false. The music is alright and there are no flashing lights, there were too many smal children there to truly go wild at 10pm and the price was absurd for nothing. They have few choices of alcohol, but the pizza was alright.

Awais Zain

Good experience.

Amanda Dawn

Great and the video tunes were comedy all day

Matt Sullivan

The facilities are very nice. The lanes and the balls that they have in house are clean and in good condition. Bowling as an activity seems to be getting more and more expensive and Kingpin is no exception. Bring a large group and grab a lane by the hour for the best deal. Also, get food at the snack bar. I think I've ordered half the menu so far and have yet to find a thing that wasn't extremely good.

Ava Murphy

Pretty good place in general but, the bathrooms need work.

Matt Cavins

Fun place to get together after work. Well taken care of lanes and excellent ball selection. Nice little mini lane area for a birthday party. Could offer some better deals for drink specials/happy hour. The price of a full night is the only thing dropping a star on this place.

Luis Rodriguez

It's a good place for spending time with my family, specifically with Kids, they love it. WE WILL COME BACK.

Daniel Gillahan

Extremely beautiful bowling lanes. Food is over priced but good.

Earl Crump II

Not bad. The karaoke was cool...especially after a few drinks .

Thomas Allen

Love it

K. Hay

Fun place to hang out with friends

michael bennett

Love bowling lanes good food if delivered went first prepared if ordering food don't wait for counter help to deliver to lane will let for under heat lamp LAZY LAZY

James Means

We always enjoy bowling at Kingpin, so fun so interactive.

Ranae Green

Arcade is perfect for smaller kids not so much for kids over 8 is say. Bowling lanes are always clean. Pizza is actually pretty good. Ive been here for a couple birthday parties also and they were pretty cool. They went into the room with the smaller lanes and bowled. It was actually a private party the whole time. Compared to most bowling parties where you get a lane and a separate room for cake. The kids got to sign a bowling pin for the birthday kid.

Pat Abell

Great service in the game room.

Jimmie Keys

I personally think it's a great bowling alley I like it the remodeling is all that

Susan Schmitt

Service was terrible!

Lance Kohler

I have to say this place is clean and well kept and overall a great place to go and have some fun.

Bradley Jutzi

Clean. Modern. Kids had fun. I miss scoring with pencil and paper.

Jeff Totten

Had a blast with girlfriend and daughter!!

Kalpesh Waradkar

Bowlling experience..!!! It is good place for bowling, pool game and other games.. i frequently visit here. Good place to hangout with friends.. specially in winter..!!!

Erica Evans

Nice spot to bowl

Deborah Jean Price

Nice atmosphere!

THE SNOOZE BUTTON

We had our sons party there tonight and it was so fun. The party host for very attentive plenty of food and drink to go around and lots of fun also very clean

Jim Hunnicutt

Nice, clean fun place to bowl or just hang out

Travis J

Nicest bowling center in the state.

Melissa

Good time.

Jerome Beasley

Great lanes

Garrett Wilson

Super friendly staff. They dealt with all my stupid friends AND me and they did it with humor. That alone is worth noting. It's loud, there are kids running around, service at the food counter can be a drag--in other words, it's a bowling alley! Old staples of '90's bowling packaged for you today in the year 2018. One thing that is noteworthy: They have beer towers.

David Klotz

Good number of lanes, clean, and fun. Affordable prices. Nice place to take my kids bowling.

Laurel Combs

$25.00 for family of three for one game! Too pricey.

Cleopatra

Even though it's a bit pricy, it's well worth it! The team here is very accommodating and they have one of THE BEST bartenders EVER here! She's awesome at her slinging skills. If you're looking to hang out and shoot some pool, they have billiard tables too. Check it out and keep up the GREAT work y'all!!

Amber Goodwin

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Last night 3/29 we decided to go bowling at this establishment. We arrived around 630pm and got in line to get our lane and shoes. There were about 3 people in front of us whom were helped but once we got to the counter it was as if we didnt exist. We stood there for another 20 minutes waiting to be helped why the two guys at the counter helped everyone around us. Finally after getting their attention we were put on a "waiting list" and given a beeper. The guy said it would be about 30 minutes after that before we got a lane. We took the beeper and hung around waiting. 30 minutes later when the desk was cleared of all other guests and were still holding this beeper we went back up to find out the deal. The guy told us all lanes were now full and it would be another 2 hours before we got one! We asked to speak to a manager. Some very unprofessional guy named James walks up and claims to be the manager. We explained the situation to him and he said the same that the lanes were full and it was first come first serve. So we asked what about all the ones behind us who were now bowling while we waited with the beeper. He said they all had reserved the lanes... How is it when we called before arrival we were told they had 4 lanes in rotation but they were first come first serve so they couldn't be reserved but now youre telling me these other people had reservations? The attitude and demeanor of this "manager" was appalling. We were literally given the your SOL attitude. After giving the beeper back James then said maybe it will be 30 minutes now since you had this... Ok you knew we had it when we were quoted the first time so what changed? One our members of our party decided to head over to Ten Pin in St. matthews to get a lane while we waited. They had a lane and got us squared away however while waiting for that confirmation you guys out of no where pulled a lane out of thin air and finally offered it to us after over an hour of waiting and all our issues without even an apology. This was by far the worst customer service experience I have ever witnessed. We will never come back to your facility and when asked about bowling by friends or family we will be sure to recommend Ten Pin or even Fern Bowl over this joke. Thanks for nothing.

Ron Burba

Very expensive compared to ither Alleys, but I can kind of see why. All the fancy tvs, and drop down projector screens. I've only bowled here once, I didn't like that they turn the lights off without warning for dark bowling. Kinda sucks when you are in mid swing and boom lights go out and you throw a gutter ball. It wiuld be nice if they used their fancy PA system to let you know.

Nyoka Hall

Better than I expected!! They alternate glow bowl and regular bowling. They also do kids bowl free program

Donnita Eads

Attendant Zach best employee

Shelburne

One of if not the best bowling alley in the area. They recently upgraded all thier seating to couches that are way more comfortable than the hard plastic chairs. Has a bar, arcade, plenty of lanes, and a food area.

Nick Ehret

Excellent place for family fun!

Tony Hughes

Nice bowling alley great place for kids parties.

Aaron Angel

Decent place. The waitstaff has improved: The fabulous ones stayed, and the not-so-fabulous left. The music is often jacked up too loud before the finally settle on slightly less than ear-bleeding, and there is at least one shoe labeled size 10.5 that isn't. No matter how many times I tell them, they keep putting it back on the shelf to give out.

Courtney Nicole Matthews

Manny at the concessions is the best! Great service with a friendly attitude. The bowling is great. Although If I had the choice of their ice cream and roadkill I would chose the roadkill any day.

George Tinker

Lanes on both sides of building. Very nice party room and small lanes for small kids. Great birthday party.

Melinda Warner

Best bowling experience i ever had. Clean fun

Shane Scott

Great place to take the family bowling. New updated seating, arcade, and great food.

mike woodruff

Nice place. Had s good time. The blt there was very good

sidharthan Muruganandham

Good for corporate outings

Todd Naiko

Love the service, lanes clean and ready. Food is prompt and fresh. Health department rating is 98. Beers are ok priced and quick. Game room for young ones is ok but 10x cheaper than main event! Local and worth the money! Love it.

Antoine L.

Great looking bowling alley... good space, well lit, cheap food, good beer and in a good location BUT.... waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced for bowling games!!! Oh my goodness... for 4 people (1 game with shoes) its was $40! Way too much, but you are paying for the location (east end) Very nice place... very nice, but I wont be back due to prices..life already cost enough, you know?

Christopher Gibson

$$$$ for 2 people to play 1 game it is at least 19 bucks. While it is a cool atmosphere and nice spot it is overpriced in almost every way

Same Old Me

Had fun with the family. Will be back for another round

Juanita Vaow

It's an AWESOME place to go.

Andrew Collins

Amazing kids party packages!

C-notes Beer Review

Awesome all around

Maurice Grimm

Great bowling & kid games & adult games.

kelly montgomery

Was okay, long wait times if you get hungry

Michelle Robinson

A little higher in price than some alleys, but always clean, always bright, a good snack bar, and fun bowling programs.

Joseph Miles

We bowl in a league here. The lanes are decent and the food is ok. The staff is pleasant and helpful.

samantha gaff

Loved it

Brent Wates

Large bowling venue with fifty lanes. New monitors and keypads on all lanes. Also has a well equipped arcade with a prize booth. On the other end is a nice bar area with a few bar games such as darts and table shuffleboard.

Tommy Bronson Jr

The management doesn't protect all bowlers rights equally which is a terrible thing imo.

Tigger Wilson

Fun times with friends. Night bowling was awesome

Christina Caguioa

Both times I've been here the bowling has been great. However the arcade is a ripoff. A third of the games don't work, another third do but won't give you tickets. I was very mad when I actually landed on a 200 ticket bundle and wasn't given the tickets. The machines that do work are fun but I won't be wasting my money on them anymore.

Berzabeth Felder

First time & i like it. Kids enjoyed it so much that they can bowl too.

Tina Carpenter

Nice facility. Possibly 50 lanes (give or take a few). Decent selection for snacks, or even dinner. Nice large area for kiddos with video games. Even has 2 areas for little bowlers to bowl.

Michael Herrman

Has a karaoke room. And large room for meetings. Very large bowling alley. Nice place

Reggie

Excellent bowling need to hire more concession employees

Tiffany Elery

Nice clean bowling alley. Had a good time with the ladies.

Alex Merel

Excellent clean friendly

John

Best maintained lanes in Louisville. Better bowling alley food than the other real alleys. The ball returns won’t damage your balls like some places. I’m there at least twice a week. Once for a league. Often to give lessons.

John Choi

Very nice place for family hang out. Also have nice game room for kids to play

DeAnne Perry

Love the Friday night karaoke

Allison Courtney

Always have a blast great for kids and adults

Karen Carden

Only reason giving a 1 is for older lady at the cafe...very rude and NOT FRIENDLY AT ALL.I almost walked off I didnt because I was hungry. First time here..not very good 1st impression. If she doesnt like her job she needs to leave..all that negativity will only hurt your business!!.

Amanda Rado

Still one of the nicest bowling alleys in Louisville, but the staff is not what it once was. Fun place tho

Jason Fassler

Distracted by the lanes constantly shutting down, and scores being incorrect.

Brian Perkins

This place looks amazing! Many lanes to bowl, huge game room, a deli and lounge.

Mike Crowe

Fun place. Crazy high prices

Evan Burns

Big place... decent prices

Angela Hogg

We seem to always choose to bowl here. There are plenty of lanes! Pizza tastes good. Love that we can be served at our lane! Also, they accommodate to kids very well and there is plenty of space so you don't feel like others are encroaching your area. Lanes are pretty oily for fast play too.

Brad

Food and drinks take forever. Be prepared to wait in line. Bowling lanes are good.

Alexis B

My family enjoys coming here. They have various things to do other than just bowling. We like their lanes. The arcade area is spacious and fun as well

Alex Logsdon

This place is fun this is not just a bowling place it’s also a Fonzo it has a bar and an arcade he will love that food hope you have fun

Diane W.

Nice, friendly atmosphere. Plenty of lanes that are well kept. Plus an arcade for the kids and a bar for the adults. A place for good times for all.

Johnny Perry

Had fun with my church group. I think that Kingpin takes advantage of large groups by putting 6 players on a lane and charging hourly.

Ray Nieves

Party room was excellent for a birthday party

Brian Telesh

More than just an ordinary bowling alley it has game room full bar and of course great lanes

Matthew Berry

I've been here twice and it's such a fun bowling alley/arcade! When it hits 11(I believe) the lights turn down and screens drop and start blasting music videos and it's so much fun! My favorite bowling alley by far!

its just twins

This is a amazing place my family loves boling and i love it too when you gets your shoes its like metal i highly dont recommend little kids to come here the balls are hard to carry,throw,and use i also love there food my fravorite part is the arcade it was really cool

Garrett Lang

Attended a kids birthday party here with the family. All the kids had a great time in the arcade. Lots of games to choose from to keep them busy. Staff was great and place was clean.

Russell Cranmer

Great bartender

Ashe Cornelius

this is the best bowling alley i have ever been too. the staff were so helpful and it's a great place to relax. zack was really helpful and nice trying to help us with the pool balls continuously getting stuck. its a great place for parties as well!! there's 50 lanes and so there's lots of room! highly recommend!!

Kurtis C

Great place to have fun

Laura Kelly

Extreme bowling was lots of fun. Live band on Sat nights. Will go again!!

Jeff Slyn

They sure do have terrific bands like The Killer Lips! Really enjoy hearing them and being able to watch the ball games in the hallway. Thanks Kingpin.

kellic plays msp

Its a neat bowling alley

Jordan Woods

Great place for the whole family

Lynn Russell

The lanes were very slick. I think they over prepared them, but that is what made it great

eddie mendez

Nice bowling alley. Good prices, friendly. Took family and had a great time. Would recommend

chad abbott

Bar staff are amaing and the wings are hands down the best around here....

Rich Derrick

Most expensive bowling I've ever seen

Leatha Upchurch

Love love love

Leslie Baxter

They have a huge amount of lanes and even special kids lanes for birthday parties. Then they have a snack bar (with beer) and last but not least a very nice arcade.

Shannon Harris

Lanes were great but couldn't get waited on in "the cafe" for anything. Workers walking in and out of area but only one person consistently working register. Just wanted popcorn and couldn't get it.

Tristan Athey

Took a while for my food to come twice and I had to remind them about it both times. They told me that their computers were down but didn't tell me when I made the orders.

Joe Warner

Great time here. But beer was overpriced and Dakota at the front desk was extremely rude. Will avoid coming here again.

wendy marie

Came here for a kids birthday party. It was wonderful. Great service from Kelsey. The arcade is great for children 8 and under. My son, 3 years old, absolutely loved it. I loved that it's so much cheaper than Main Event and it's locally owned. So many great things .

Nathan Hurt

This is a real nice bowling alley. It's also not just a boqling alley. It has a bar, eating area and an arcade. At night, they have a glow bowl, where they turn the lights down and the music up. This is a really fun experience with a group of friends. Durimg this time They offer a deal for $30 for 1 hour for up to 6 people. Shoe rental is $4.50. It is a little pricey, but it is a very modern bowling alley for all ages
