REVIEWS OF Spare Time Portland IN Maine

Martha HurdCall

My daughter-in-law had a birthday party there. They were set up in the common walkway instead of in a dining room or area set aside for groups. There were 25+- people there and only 3 tables so most of us had to stand. The common walkway was wide enough to accommodate some separate tables and chairs, but apparently that idea never occurred to anyone. We were sitting at a table eating pizza and we were asked to get up because we weren't at the designated area for our party. WHAT??? We were three seniors and ASKED TO MOVE?? Laughingly enough, no one sat there after we got up. Now for the food; don't bother. It's edible only by the walking dead. That being said, if you have a celebration of any kind, this place is not the venue you should choose.

We went bowling here with the whole family and it was super fun they had great food and a awesome arcade!

Rachel P.

Fun times for me and my group of friends. Totally affordable and great customer service at the front desk both when I called before and when we checked in/out. Highly recommend this place!

Benjamin White

Fun time bowling, eating french fries, and laser tag!

Ryan Eling

This place got updated this year and it is a blast now. Bowling has fun interface for making the scorecard entertaining, and the addition of arcade and laser tag will allow for a full afternoon or evening of fun. Great for families.

Andrew Weiner

Great place to go for a birthday party had a very good time with my grandson

Adam K

Don't expect the kitchen to get your order correct or cooked to the correct doneness. Fryed fish came out very dry and over cooked last time. My friends hot dog was completely charred on one side. So bad it was not edible but was closer to being charcoal. I have been there to eat a few times with friends. They have never cooked everything correctly. We joke about what we think will be bad/wrong while waiting for the food to come out. Sometimes all the bowling lanes are in use and it's unclear on how they decide who gets the next open lane.

Piper Black

Very fun, clean, and entertaining atmosphere! A great place to hang out with friends and have some fun!!!

Joseph LaPlante

Poor customer service. Only seemed interested in serving large groups and birthday parties. The bowling lanes did seem to be well taken care of. The food itself is well made and, the arcade is not well managed, I would not recommend this bowling alley. For those people you are planing on going alone; especially to only play in the arcade find, somewhere else to go.

Lizzie r.

Very fun to bowl on weekends! $18 for unlimited bowling. Drinks and food are like restaurant pricing. They have great pizza! Fun place for family and for friends.

Laila Valade

We were blown away by how amazing this facitily was at hosting a birthday party for our 8 year old son! Communication leading up to his party was amazing and then when we arrived our party area was all set up and ready to go. Lauren, our hostess was PHENOMENAL! She went over every tiny detail with us and stuck to the schedule 100%. The attention to detail by all staff was incredible. The venue is spotlessly clean and top of the line. The arcade was amazing and we will definitely be back to give laser tag a try! The cost was incredibly affordable and what we got for our money was perfect. The hand written card from Lauren sent via the mail the week after his party to our son was the cherry on top of this awesome experience. The words "that was my best birthday EVER!!" were uttered numerous times that day and days following. Well done Spare Time!

Schemell Weech

Enjoyed bowling. Staff is friendly, music was good and the place is clean. I recommend it for a night of bowling.

Joshua Cousins

Kids loved it but the arcade is pricey for what it is. Good place for laser tag.

Craig Joseph

Great fun for kids and families. Lots of kids birthday parties at this location. Laser tag, arcade games, bowling etc. Average food. Beer on tap.

Kris Pahel

I attended my daughter's birthday party at spare time in Portland. She loves to go there and play laser tag and play the video games. She enjoys bowling and they have nice aids to help young children Bowl with the large balls. There was a point in the party when the bowling alley turned on the disco lights and the kids all started dancing. It was hilarious. I don't remember a birthday party with quite so much dancing. After the birthday party I asked my daughter if she had a good time she said it was great. She really love the laser tag. I thought the staff was really attentive. They kept showing up and making sure everyone had what we needed. It seems like the food came out when it was supposed to though I honestly wasn't involved in ordering the food. I think there could have been a little more space for the food and gifts for the amount of people they had but the staff did a good job of making do with what they had.

Liz Duncan

Super friendly and helpful staff. The food is really good though a little pricey, but it is a bowling alley after all. Very fun place over all!

Nikki Brouillette

Spent at least two hours playing games it fun!

Aaron Toussaint

A lot of fun! Good variety

Brandon Dith-Berry

Overall had a fun time but the music videos they played had a lot of raunchy content. There were little kids bowling there and they had it playing on screens on the walls of the alleys and on the tv's over the seating area. Also the lights were really dark and the flashing and flickering lights were a bit overwhelming for me personally. Music was a bit too loud too. I didn't try the arcade or laser tag. All personal preference stuff really thus why I didn't give low stars. I did have a lot of fun.

Shania Presby

As a frequent visitor of Spare Time I am saddened to say that tonight will be our last night visiting; we were treated like belligerent children and I have never experienced such a place with low hospitality. We came here for date night. Started with a simple meal and one round of drinks, with the second round to have in hand while we bowled. We were out with another couple so we asked to split an $80 bill in half. One half was $39 and the other was $45. Do the math. It simply doesn’t add up. While we were eating our meal we had to get ourselves our napkins and remind the staff for utensils. The food was great. The service not so much. But we weren’t going to let that ruin our night so we continued to bowl and once we were finished our drinks we went up to get a beer we were “cut off” I’m no rocket scientist but I don’t know anyone who has been cut off after two beers. It’s just not right. So we talked to management and that did nothing whatsoever. It’s such a heartbreaking experience because it truly is a fun place to go. I guess I will be taking my business to other alleys in the area from now on.

Troy Anctil

It's fun for the kids and drinks for the parents what more do you need?

Bonnie Quincannon

Love the atmosphere and the service is excellent.

Jeffrey Pope

Entertaining scoreboard with our pics superimposed on animation. Fabulous time!

Jim Diluigi

Good food and atmosphere for all ages. The pork BBQ was amazing.

C Dunn

I just got home from their service industry night and I had such a great time! Thank you to everyone responsible for putting that together and for everyone who worked it. I'm sure it was a lot of work. We had the nachos which were great and the beer was reasonably priced. Bowling was fun and the lazer tag was awesome! I think I was giggling the whole time. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and clearly dedicated to doing their best. I will definitely be back!! Thank you again.

Ian MacEachen

A great afternoon with three generations of family playing; rates are reasonable, food was delicious, and the whole place was very comfortable and welcoming-definitely coming back!!

Stephen Kerner

Perfect place to bring kids when the weather isn't, rain, snow, or hot and humid. For the last two years, I've brought bus loads of kids (K-8) and it is a consistent hit.

Charity Avila

If you think that laser tag is life, look no further. Bonus: bowling and an arcade. But seriously, laser tag.

Aaron Jolicoeur

Fun for the whole family!

Gabe Larsen

The food isn't great (2/5) but the bowling is great, and the laser tag to top it off? Why not. The lasertag and arcade are very fun and add a lot to the bowling alley

Leonard Tan

Great place to bring the kids but just like the other reviewers have said, the wait staff is horrible!! Dismissive and slow. We waited at the restaurant while waiting for lanes to open up. We ordered out apps and it arrived. It was very mediocre. We have to waited for more than 20 mins before we left. A waitress kept saying she will calk our waitress over but never did. There's only 3 or 4 other tables at the restaurant. We tried to pay at the bar and couldn't even do it. All they cared for was pouring shots and beers for the customers at the bar. Oh and we sat by the kitchen and I could see either a male way staff or the cook (dressed in black) using his phone for a good 5 to 10 mins in the kitchen. The wait staff by the alleys were good and attentive though but the ones in the restaurant were horrible

Faith Briggs

They were great at hosting my son's b-day party. Very helpful, accommodating & great service. Thanks to everyone today! ☺

Anna

Manager was super nice and helpful, we really enjoyed laser tag.

Christopher Kogut

Just left and ready to go back! I was having a really rough day for my birthday and could not think of anything fun to do. My wife dragged me out of the house and did what she always does and turns a bad day into a better one. I found this place online and decided to give it a try. It was awesome! Friendly staff, fantastic laser tag, awesome games, great food, could not have asked for more.

Christie Hendrix

Had so much fun with my family here and georgie is awesome

Jean de D NTAKIRUTIMANA

Great service

Carrie Schuman

Really fun place to bowl and arcade games are great too. Fun to have in the same location.

Mike 54321

I can't tell you how the laser tag or the other games are, but if you want to bowl just go somewhere else... Every time we try to get a lane, ALL the lanes are taken and we are told to come back after 9pm...Go to Bayside!

Holly Reynolds

Very clean,staff was friendly & service great!!

lynn baldino

Fun first time big balls for Chance

Eric Mulvihill

Good bowling alley

Jesse Fowler

Great place, kids always have fun, I always come home broke. Great for birthday parties. My only real issue with this place is that I didn't open it first.

Emily Mouchon

So much too do you could spend the whole day. Staff was great.

Vie Nadeau-Carney

This place was super fun! I always love a bowling/bar combo, but this place also has food, an arcade, and laser tag! The prices were affordable and laser tag was so. much. fun! They are open very late (1am) which made this place a great time for adults.

Brit Daigle

Not only do they have bowling at fair prices, but they have a small arcade, and laser tag! Their food isn't the greatest but it's what you would expect from a bowling alley. Definitely a family friendly place and a great way to have fun

Alex Keller

A local good bowling alley with a bar aswell

Megan Aydelott

I've enjoyed both visits to Spare Time. It is on the more expensive side for an arcade. Laser tag is a blast and there is a discount for buying two games at once. The bar tenders and laser tag staff are friendly and helpful.

Kenny Tripp

It is fun place to blow

Katy Petrie

We had my son's birthday here. It was such a great time. Parent/Child Laser Tag is just about the best thing ever!!

Trista Burchill

Had an awesome time bowling here with the kids! Definitely recommended for a fun night out!

David-Michael Johnson

Had a blast playing laser tag, just wish the course was a little bigger. Good prices though and they offered a deal if we paid for two games.

henrietta neill

The food was really good. I wish they had a few more games in the arcade section. Like some pinball machines would be nice. My kids had fun.

Trevor Axelsen

I never visited there!!!

Morgan Heavel

It's a good time and the food isn't bad but the arcade and bowling are ridiculously expensive. The arcade games end up costing dollars per play and a couple of games of bowling for two will end up costing you almost 30 bucks.

roberta hodgkins

went there 1st time w/ few clients recently... wow nice place... alot of changes inside and changed names from yankee lanes to spare time ...

Leigh G

The food was decent, fries were the best part but the flat bread pizza we ordered was a little burnt. When we went to play laser tag we had an hour wait which was fine we had a large party. However, when our time came another party was allowed to go ahead of us and we had an additional 10 minute wait while they had that party step out, on top of the original hour to play. Overall everyone had fun, but definitely need better communication and could attempt to call people when their time comes to play.

Jax Worthington

Laser tag, arcade and bowling are all really fun. They have a bar and restaurant too. My kids really loved laser tag.

Ronmel Rangel

Excellent place, for food y fun

Cal Goggans

Me and my daughter love this place! You can spend an entire day here without running out of stud to do! We bowled, ate, played video games and even laser tag! The prizes are priced right and staff very friendly!

Tony S

I would choose this over the new place at Maine mall. More bowling lanes, more separation from the arcade games makes in my opinion for a nicer experience regardless of what you are doing. If need to do shopping, perhaps pick the other place. Other than that, spare time is worth your time.

Kacie Boissonneault

Had a great time in the arcade with my best friend ever

jamie sandefur

Great music and good arcade

J. Blenda Risteen

My son says, "Awesome! It's so fun; laser tag was awesome!" (And the staff was super friendly and helpful, we'll be back soon!)

Kara Metz

Lazer tag is the best ever!!!

Michael Miller

Great atmosphere.. really good food.. bowling, arcade games.. and laser tag. Great for family fun or a night with friends.

Cassie Cox

My entire group had a blast ages 18 Months to 25 years old. It was our first time at an arcade with a card to swipe to play and also for keeping our tickets digitally and it was amazing! We can't wait to come back! The prices were so reasonable we played for an hour on just sharing $20 with a group of 5 people. Great selection of prizes to trade in for afterwards too! Thank you for a great time in a clean space! Next time we will try bowling too.

Bonnie Downs

Very pleasant place. Great service. We will be back.

Rhonda Marquis

Fun filled place for a family with all different ages. Arcade games, laser tag, bowling, food, and drinks.

Attila DeLisle

We just had an excellent 9th birthday party here. The room was awesome, laser tag was a blast, and a good variety of games. So much fun we decided to stay for bowling!

Angie Beaulieu

Our time here was ruined thanks to the bar tender. All four of us had meals from the restaurant and one drink each. Towards the end of our meal we requested a second drink to carry over to bowl. Our check came to $80 and some change. We asked her to split it down the middle and we got one check for $45 and one for $39. What? We said ok fine and moved on to bowl. After bowling for about an hour and finishing our second drinks, we went back to the bar for a third only to find out that we had been cut off for no apparent reason, as we were clearly not even close to drunk. We spoke with the manager who "had a chat" with someone at the bar, not the bar tender, and ultimately nothing was resolved. Our night was ruined and so was our opinion of Spare Time.

Heather Noyes

Fun place for a fun day with family. Loved the glow bowling

Michael Townsend

Always love bringing the family there. Great fun and good food.

Jamie Arrison

Pricey, but lots of fun. Great automatic scoring system with fun extras. Good games, prizes and laser tag.

Matt R

This facility is nice. The tavern has lots of drink selection. The bowling is fun and the arcade has laser tag fun for all ages

Kermit Beaulieu

Great for kids. A little too loud for really young ears.

Stella Otim

Spare time was so much fun, my friend had an event and she invited me so we party still two thirty am. We play bowling and eats lots and lots of chicken wings you name it it was fun and will love to go again

Jei Cynth

I just got cards against humanity for all my tickets! W00t!

Cameron Pujdak

Great place to spend a Monday night! They have a great all you can bowl special which can fill up any uneventful evening. Also, if you go during football season, Monday night football is played on projector screens above the lanes so there are two sources of entertainment!

Ryan Lavigne

First time going. Seemed to be an alright place to spend a evening

Erika Boothby

Such a great place! So much fun with the interactive screens, bar and food while you play, very clean. Friendly workers and fun arcade area!

Samantha Carroll

I just had my son's 10th birthday party there. I had called a week and half in advance and set the date and time all up. I had to pay a deposit which was fine. When me and my party arrived for the party they didn't have the time I was told and nothing was set up. They had to set my party up and get everything together while we waited. We also had gotten an additional lane for adults which staff WAS NOT clear on exactly how pricing went so we ended up paying way more then we had thought we were going to have to! The young girl that hosted our party was awesome helped us with anything and always had a smile! Having a birthday party there Is NOT CHEAP! if parents are willing to pay a large amount of money for a party the place should have everything together and be way more organized then they were! I was very disappointed in how unprepared they were for my party considering they had so much time to get it all together. And they are the ones who gave me the time options but didn't have the right time.down for some reason?? I will not ever have a birthday party there EVER AGAIN but the place was definitely clean and fun. A good place to bowl and be at on a rainy day not such a good spot to spend as much money as they charge for parties. Definitely not worth all the money they charge!

Dev Sawant

Hosted my son bday party. It was fun for kids and adults

Vanessa Beene

So fun! The prices are not bad. Definitely going back, and soon

Derek Viger

Best big ball bowling in the area. Also a nice arcade

Tyler Cohen

So I was skeptical having remembered the old place. Honestly the best bowling ally in town. Great food, great beer and an arcade! Excellent family fun without the hipsters.

Nicole Boyer

Awesome wicked druck!best place ever

Ken Moulton Jr.

This bowling alley is not what it used to be. It is been redesigned and revamped into one of the most high tech, coolest, hangouts in Portland. It has a bar/club atmosphere, a kid-friendly arcade, and big ball bowling For enthusiasts of all ages. They have side rails that pop-up automatically for your children's turns, and then go back down for your turns, and ramps for children and elderly so you don't need a running start to touch the ball down to the lane nicely.

Philip Adams

Me and the family had a great time bowling then Lazer tag and hit the arcade for a few games everything was great my kids love to pop up bumpers and the auto score keeping screens with cool animations on the bowling lanes always a good time.

Patrick Mulcahey

Great place to host a birthday party!

buddy bro

My family loves bowling and laser tag here! The staff are helpful and friendly. We came for the 50% off Wednesday deal. Lanes were clean as well as the whole building. My one complaint is that the toilets are really obnoxious and scared my youngest kid, but overall highly recommend for other families!!

Tom Provencal

Great place to take the kids. The arcade and laser tag is awesome, and there are plenty of bowling lanes.

Amy Daudier

This place rocks!! My family loves this place so much we go here as often as possible. They have arcade bowling laser tag and even a place to go sit down and eat. The food was just classic items but it was really good and fresh. Awesome place to bring your family for a great night!

Brian Eng

Whether for a party or just some family fun, this place delivers big time.

Colin Rice

Fun place. Unfortunately, was extremely understaffed with one server for ~20 lanes and the bar area when we were there. Jason (I think...), the sole server, was phenomenal under the pressure of the circumstance.

Chloe Black

I love this place. Laser tag is so fun and bowling on weekends is cool because everything glows.

james curran

Spare time is great family bowling experience.

Joe Leclair

My daughter and I checked out the arcade/games section yesterday. It was really cool. There are no coins to be used. You out your money on your own personal swipe card and play all the game that way. For the games that give you tickets towards prizes, there are no physical tickets, the machines automatically add the tickets to your swipe card!! Its a very cool concept. Every time you swipe your card at a game, it will give you your remaining balance and there are also ATM like machines that show you how many tickets you have and you can also reload your cards on the ATM machine as well. Only complaint I would have, which is a minor one, is I wish there were more arcade type games. Regardless, I liked it a lot and my 12 year old daughter absolutely loved it!! We will be going back real soon!

Kellee Kramer

Was in the area visiting from Ohio. We had so much fun at this bowling alley! I love how they have different themes to pick from on bowling, it was very kid friendly which I was very thankful for! And Lazer tag was a blast! Not to mention how wonderful and friendly the staff was! Also a bonus, we happened to come in on a Wednesday where it was 50 percent off!

Eddie Cotter

I am an avid bowler and I would not recommend this bowling alley at all to league bowlers. They company that owns this establishment hates leagues and caters to open bowlers more than the garunteed money they get from the leagues.

Jazz Bro11

Entertaining for all ages! There is actual indoor laser tag, my kids loved it!

Mike Miller

Love the new arcade and laser tag. Lanes are oiled regularly. Great place and th e food is good. Try the tots!!

Frank Morgan

Good place to go bowling or have a birthday party. Family friendly.

Nick kazimer

Was told over the phone and email I could call 30 min to an hour before arrival and reserve lanes or be placed on a waiting list then when I called to reserve or be put on a waiting list I was told they don't do that. Then after I arrived I was told I could only have 1 lane I needed at least 8 bowlers to get 2 lanes I was less than pleased and everyone around me knew it

Jeff Medlin

Good for evening out!

Tammy Perry

It was fun. Niece and nephews had a great time.

Dave Poree

Very fun! Great food and updated lanes.

Fontana Jackson

Love going here with my friends, we always have a great time, even when on a budget! So many different things to do and enjoy!

keith staats

Played 2 and a half games stopped cause the was no oil on the lanes told the guy with the beard he says will let them know Not apologetic didn’t offer anything or even to Day’s discount I wear Else I can go bowl The guy in the girl behind the Counter we’re happy to tell you were Else you can bowl don’t recommend them if you want to just throw the ball it might be a good place to go but if you want to bowl they have no oil on there the lines

Joseph Horr

Great, friendly staff and above-average food from the newly renovated kitchen make a visit to this bowling alley/arcade an absolute joy. Full bar with a good local beer selection. Try the Cowboy Tots, you won't be disappointed.

heather polese

We had soo much fun bowling and playing in the arcade on our vacation. Definitely a great place to spend a few hours

Steve Howell

Over an hour wait for bowling. Wouldn't get served water for my son that thirsty because we didn't have a lane. When we finally got a lane, I asked for server 3 times, still nothing. Allow outside drinks if you aren't going to serve me.

Adrianne Sicotte

So bad. We came in the afternoon after calling at 9am to try to make a reservation because it's a 1 hour and 20 min drive. Couldn't make a reservation totally fine. But we also asked about the other side of the lanes and no one told us there was a wedding today. So when we arrived and there were only 8 lanes in total available we were concerned it would take a long time to be able to bowl since we had a group of 7 and needed two lanes. Fortunately we didn't get that far because we left after our lunch. The food is really good, if you like sweet potato fries definitely get them, wish I could tell you about the pizza but the server never put it in. The whole staff seemed disinterested and and slow. It just suckedand we were all so excited. Theres a few other bowling allies in the area I would suggest trying them instead.

Alecia Wenslow

I have been here twice now and loved it both times. The first time i went with someone who has special needs and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Had a great time bowling!

Kristal Bergeron

Had a blast here

Heather Beaupre

We took 9 teenagers for a birthday party. They all had a blast. 3 games of laser tag, $5 gift cards for playing video games, plus pizza and soda. Full menu for the parents to order from. Excellent day!!

R K

I pee here all the time when my girlfriend is about to get out of work and I think the bathrooms are very clean

Chris Mulligan

The only place I go to play big ball. Always a fun place

daniel swanciger

Thee waitstaff was attentive and friendly, I had a lot of fun.

Novar Lynx

Very clean and well-kept

Don Lemont

Their new game room is great I wish they could have done it without taking away that many lanes but hey got to sacrifice something the bowling is awesome the food is amazing in their new restaurant I just wish they hadn't done away with the dart boards as that's my favorite part

A1K9 LLC

Tons of fun!

Cassandra Davis

We came from Brewer for our twins bday and this place is top notch!

Nathan Confer

Great place to bring the family. Arcade games, laser tag, bowling, and good food. They have a variety of bowling leagues available.

Edwin Gonzalez

My review is based on my experience at their arcade which is small. I didn't bowl, drink at the bar, or eat the food. They have the audacity to charge $1 to use most of the machines. Some games even require $2. I'm frustrated because the racing game was broken you couldn't shift using manual mode. The skiball machine ate my money which is ridiculous considering they have cards you can load money on.

Jessica Beaulieu

Very fun for the kids, great arcade.

Hai Nguyen

Great place for adults and kids but no more kids drinks like before

AJ Lambert

recently renovated bowling ally. the place was crowded when we went so i recommend calling ahead for lanes. it looked like the restaurant was recently renovated as well with a menu more extensive than what i have seen at other bowling ally's. they had a nice arcade for kids and laser tag as well.

Helen Lamb

Great place for birthday party big ball bowling laser tag and arcade all rolled into one

Ricky Sanderson

It is a fun, clean, place to go that gets you out of the house, and away from snow.

Jonathan Billings

Lanes are nice, food is good. very expensive, 1 game 4 people $36

Dennis Look

Great customer service

Katrina Petersen

$4 laser tag on Wednesdays, who knew?! Love this place. It's nice and clean, well maintained, and a variety of activity to keep the kids (and adults) busy!

Tim Hansen

Upbeat great food drinks good for family kids ,parties, corporate paries cocktails pop

John Marescot

I like this place, I'm glad they expanded and put Lazer tag in

Ray Mahannah

Great time! Great food! Decent prices for a family!

elpapijr fernandez

Its a great place for kids and adults to have fun!

Susan Merrill

Lots of fun for little money...our teen granddaughters had a good time.

Ben Brown

Made reservations. The party package was a great investment. My daughter and her friends had an absolute blast and the staff was friendly, helpful and efficient.

Madelyn Blanche

I loved Spare Time, until I went there today. We called ahead to get on the waiting list and we're treated poorly and told no. Got there and had an hour wait to be scolded, shushed, and snapped at by the man that seemed to be in charge. While we waited, we got a drink that took us 50 minutes to order due to only having one waitress/bar tender/food runner. She's a champ for handling all that with a smile and for dealing with an a$$ of a manager!

Mrs Amber

Great specials and awesome enviorment! Fun for all

Rod Robertson

Clean and efficient facility with about 20 lanes, a kitchen serving hand cut fries, deep fried pickles, et. al., a full bar and, of course, an arcade room.

Josh Jinno

Laser tag at a birthday party was a blast for everyone.

Peter Osgood

10 Pin bowling Arcade and Bar awesome place to go

Aaron Lord

went in with a large work party group and or waitress Megan took great care of us! Thanks megan! we'll be back

Laine Doherty

Always a great time time at spare time. Tonight, an associate even came by and gave us $20 free bucks to the arcade, for no reason other than that we were there. Thanks spare time!!

Ingrid F

We love coming here for an afternoon of fun. They have lots to offer for the whole family. Bowling, laser tag, arcade, bar, and parties. Their food and drinks are great. The bowling alley has flashy lights and music. My kids love the laser tag games and arcade. We have been to several birthday parties there as well and they do a nice job. Friendly staff, and very clean establishment.

Brandon Avery

Great for teenagers and younge kids due to the atmosphere. Wouldn't be the place to bowl for a date night.

Jayden Butts

Very good environment. Lazer tag setup very well, enjoyed thoroughly. The arcade with the point card system is also a breath of fresh air compared to the clunky tickets that always need to be replaced. One note: the color spinner game is HORRIBLY rigged. Don't even try it... Like I know arcade games, and this one is particularly bad.

Tiny Tim

Great fun for the kids

Leea M.

Fun late night bowling, has changed a bit from what it used to be but still a good time.

A. Michael Stevens

FANTASTIC FUN FOR EVERYONE! Bowling: Plenty of well-kept lanes Laser tag: VERY well executed! They make better use of a smaller space than some places I've been to with a whole WAREHOUSE at their disposal! Arcade: Fun games (a biiiiiiit …

Jacob St John

It was so fun to bowl play Lazer tag and play games all in the same place

Sarah Libby

Was not happy with the customer service one bit from the bartender. I’ve worked in customer service my entire career and this was no way to handle it. I ordered a mixed drink and when I took the first sip I tasted very little alcohol in the drink. I had everyone at my table taste it and even the girl who doesn’t drink said it tasted like straight juice. I politely went back to the bartender and asked if she could throw a little more in there (enough so I could taste it) and she (rudely) said “if you want a double I have to upcharge you”. I said “well I’m sorry but there’s not even a single in here.” She said “well I made it so I know there is.” I ended up paying for a double but she proceeded to then overpour. So now it was too strong. I even went up to our waitress and explained that i was charged twice and she said “there’s nothing I can do”. I feel like she should have offered to remake my drink instead of charging me double when I never asked for a double, just a properly made mixed drink. Not to mention, her attitude was awful.

Rebecca Berry

Awesome place

Fernando Nasc

Great experience. Everything is brand new and the staff is friendly.

Forrest Diffin

I had a great time. Bar is friendly. And lazer tag was a blast! Arcade seemed full of games as well

Nice and updated but tables are to close when you get people on both sides bowling. Arcade prices are too high!!!

Saturday night was pretty busy. had to wait for a lane, but had a good time bowling and playing games.
