arjun singh

We had fun trying this different type of bowling .will visit again. Cool way to spend time with friends and family if in this area

Tim Schunk

It can be fun. Older place that needs upgrades

albert webb

Has updated some areas, now seems better then before.

Dax Crowley

Prices are good for bowling, and has a small arcade

Allec Baldwin

Good food, and great people! First time playing this style bowling but it was a blast!

Landon St.Peter

It was great bowling and I had lots of fun, but the owner got mad at me for doing nothing and he had a lot of little rules. He watched me the rest of the time like he didn't want me there. I wonder why no one goes there

Keith Loftis

Good food and food bar.

Nathan Gross

The owners were so great to our family. We were rained out of a day at Acadia and I'm really happy that we ended up here. Candlepin bowling. Bumpers if you need them. A grill and arcade round out the experience. We had a great time.

Melinda Thompson

Very fun family friendly place! Old school bowling alley with a bar , food and a super nice staff. Could be spiffed. It has a lot of potential.

Tammi Higgins

Best food in town! Hidden gem for sure, and to believe they even deliver! Try their calzones, or poutine!

Monique Farmer

Only local bowling alley... very very uncomfortable experience coming an hour before closing (Google said 10 but apparently they close at 9 and we should have known). Rushed us, watched us uncomfortably and made us feel so unwelcome. Won't be coming back. Rather travel to Bangor in the future.

Gabrielle Johnson

The food here is awesome. Their pizza is awesome and the sandwiches are great for lunch. I love the atmosphere here now that the new owner has taken over.

Jim Holcomb

Stopped by here on a rainy day while on vacation in Bar Harbor. We've never heard of "candlestick bowling" found it to be very different from the bowling found here in Ohio & great FUN! The 2 men at the counter were great. They explained how its done & stuck with us for a couple of frames. I whole heartedly recommend this place to anybody visiting the Desert Island area. We had a blast!

Getting to take the whole family out for bowling doesn't happen often and is a treat for us. We were vacationing in at Harbor so for a rainy day adventure, we went to this bowling alley. It had a few pros-it seemed clean and the lane/computer worked well. Unfortunately the cons outweighed the pros greatly! The service was very unfriendly. We felt like we were bothering them, being there. (We were the only customers there too!). There were rules posted everywhere about every little thing and it did not seem family friendly at all. We will not be going here again and would not recommend it to anyone else.

Phenomenal business, phenomenal owner who truly cares about the community. Great food! :) Thanks, PJ!

New owners, much cleaner. Friendly staff. Very much enjoyed our time there! David, the owner was accommodating and very friendly. This place is NEW and IMPROVED!!!!!!!!

Jordan Freeman

Had excellent service and a great time. It’s much more fun than traditional bowling, and the novelty makes it worth a trip even just for a single game.

Dana Nitzsche

We loved our experience candle stick bowling! Lucas, who works there, was so friendly and welcoming! We had the best time!

joshua merriam

New owner is doing his best with what he's got. Still a great place to spend a rain day.

Amber Bollinger

I hate to write a bad review because I love supporting local businesses and our family has enjoyed many events at the alley. But this is the second time in a row that I have waited about an hour for French fries. Our lane went out numurous times but the staff was quick to fix the issue. We went to the arcade to spend the tickets we've been saving for quite a while, but the ticket eater machine was out. So my 5yr old couldn't get any prizes. We still had a good time and will hopefully be going back. I just hope they get it straightened out. Support local business!!!

A dive! But a good dive. Food, better then your average bowling alley. Surprisingly good as a matter of fact. Not many bowlers outside of league season. Candle stick bowling which is new to me but great fun for the family of all ages. The only downside is the aging facility but that what makes it a dive a gives character. A place memories can be made for sure.

Tobey Crawford

This is a great place to have fun, whether with your kids, friends, or alone. Pool is fun and affordable, as are darts. Bowling is actually a great workout, especially on Twofer Tuesdays. Enjoyably quiet during the week, busy on weekends. The food menu is rich and greasy per the bowling alley tradition, prices are good for whopper servings- fries are great. Game room is fun, there's something for everyone.

Todd Scott

A diamond in the rough. The food is superb, I'd rate it better than a small mom and pop Italian food restaurant. The lanes are a little rough, but it's a lot of fun.

Amelia Pearn

A fun place full of good food and good people.

Jordan Freeman

Ace Adams

Bowling snacks fun time for Ellsworth at a decent price, great family fun.

Heather Nelson

This is an awsome family friendly place! Staff is always smiling and helpful.

Jessica S

Prices are good, food is ok, staff friendly, but the bowling itself is pretty run down. Balls are all chipped and sharp, pin resets breakdown steadily, the electronic score keeping messes up often.

Velma Jordan

Had a birthday party here and the new owners and staff were great!! No rushing us, service was great as well as the food! We'll definitely be visiting here more often now!

Ryan Parks

Great atmosphere and employees are awsome

Melissa Miller

Excellent bowling and food!

Jennifer Beek

Very nice owner! Good people for sure

Sarah Luna

I think the new owners are still in the process of improving the experience. Hopefully their liquor license comes through soon.

This place is so much fun! Things like the outer space carpet glow under black light at night. There's an arcade room. We ordered pizza and it was really good.

Makensie Alexander

Me and my family had Soo much fun bowling and at the arcade

Aaron Cox

Great fun & great food!

Timothy Adams

Haven't visited since it was under new ownership. Very pleased with so many upgrades and improvements. The list and quality of food was amazing and I believe they even provide take - out. We ordered a couple calzones and chicken fingers meal, which rivaled local food establishments. The staff, up front as well as at the bar, treated us very well. Have read other reviews about rudeness. Hopefully, it was only a rough night. Despite so many improvements, business still seemed to be slow on a Saturday night. We had a great night out and hope to return soon. I am in hopes that others will see these positive reviews and give the NEW management an opportunity to please your family as well.

Tanya Gilley

Was told to practice more

Zach Hull

$10 for 2 games here is robbery.

Evelyn Cassanova

Opened late for our company to spend some time together! Great service, great food, great staff! Highly recommend anyone going to see them!

Caleb Ricker

Great opportunity to have fun with the family or groups of teens. Unfortunately the staff is unfriended, and the lanes malfunction frequently.

Pool tables darts and candlepin bowling. Good combination and good food and reasonable prices at the bar

Howard LaPorte

Does anybody know how to erase the old reviews? New owners took on location and google passed on the old owners reviews :(

Coty White

I like that place. Not usually too full, good pizza right there to enjoy while bowling. Wash it down with a cold one.
