REVIEWS OF Frames Bowling Lounge IN New Jersey

Van Nguyen

We worked and bowled on a Monday when they opened. It's the sweet life when you can have the whole bowling alley to yourself so you can walk around in your undies. Though, $70-$100 / hour as a minimum cost to bowl equates to 2 stars lost.

David Moore

It was hot in there the entire time we played but I liked several things about it. The shoe selection is self service. The game computer felt like it was in good shape. All the balls were heavily scarred but that is normal. We played 2 full games with only 2 glitches. They were easily fixed by using the computer to cycle /reset. The music was fairly vanilla when I was there, but there were signs up about a live dj late at night. It is little weird when you go in. The first floor is under construction, so you are walking past a heavy tarp until you get to a little elevator. The elevator has signs all over it warning of a maximum capacity of 10 people. I didn't try the food or alcohol, so no comment on that.

Robert Beatty

Great food and lanes for bowling. Had a good time with my colleagues.

Jowi

Fun place for date night

Kenneth Mulberry

me and the friends love coming to these lanes. always having a blast! very chill spot to have fun and bowl

Bunny Ebanks

Great for snall groups. Nice atmosphere & nice staff.

Melissa Alfred

This bowling alley was amazing! The DJ was playing amazing music, the drinks we really good and nicely made. Everything about the place was very chill and relaxed.

Ketsia Amazan

Went there for my friend's birthday. Had a good experience. The atmosphere was welcoming. The staff were solicitous. The drinks were strong. And then you bowl. That's fun.

Jason Michael Dick

Incredibly rude staff. Do not recommend.

Irritable Life

I love this place. Bowling, pool, ping pong in midtown ? what more can you ask for? only thing? Always hot in there, even in winter

Justice Rodriguez

Javier was beyond amazing, he was our waiter for the night. He was great for the whole night, However towards the end of the night the rest of the staff were telling us we had to chug our drinks since they were about to close. That wasn’t cool because we paid $290 for 2 hours of open bar which started at 8:40. They should put in the fine print if it’s 11pm we can’t drink anymore. I would’ve never booked this place if i knew they would tell us we had to leave rather then let us finish our drinks. Thank you Javier for a great night of customer service. You should teach your peers on what customer service is!

Arth Shah

First time visiting bowling in NYC. $45 for one hour upto 5 people. If you don't have that many people then you are screwed, paying $45 for one or two people just imagine. Plus paying for shoes and food. I will think twice before visiting this place again.

Jennifer Meyers

Great place but they have consistently raised their prices. Now super expense to bowl.

Kwame Barton

Very clean and upscale place. Great atmosphere. DJ definitely knows how to move the crowd and plays a great selection of music. Mainly hip hop. Drinks are good. Not watered down. The only minor issue I had was I ordered coconut shrimp and fries and it was salty. The chef was very generous with the salt. Other than that, I had a great time at Frames Bowling Lounge and would definitely do it again.

Alex Dripchak

Lots of fun to be had here between the 20+ bowling lanes, 4 ping pong tables, 3 pool tables, shuffleboard, jenga, etc. food is actually pretty good too. Had an issue while here and the executive management team resolved it very well. Great work guys.

Juan Casillas

always top notch

K Ses

I had a great experience tonight. Awesome food, great service, and good music. There was a waiter for our party and he was right on point with everything we needed. I recommend this bowling alley to anyone looking to celebrate a loved one or for a night of fun. They were not cheap with the alcoholic beverages either.

Isaac Aronow

Great place for work outings

Jake White

Fun place food is great lanes are just so so

C W

Cool place and great energy. We spent most of our time in the games room. The Connect Four game was not working and spilling the chips on the floor. We watched it happen with two other groups of players so it wasn't just us. Also it was freezing the room. Way colder than in the main bowling area. Overall thought it is a nice place. You won't get a lane until way after midnight on a weekend so plan in advance! Make a reservation or forget it.

Juan

So fun! Great time. Great service and amazing time with the family. Food, drinks, and bowling. Everything u need and want.

Serge Sorokin

If you actually like or respect bowling, don't go here. Food is good and drinks are good but the lanes are absolutely terrible. We were informed that the lanes were oiled ever day but it was about the same as playing on concrete. No wax, no oil.

Rosy Rodriguez

Terrible service and staff. No last call, bouncer guy just tries to make you LEAVE. Terrible. Stay bowlmor or lucky strike where they treat you like a guest and communicate properly.

Daniel Sommer

Wow so much fun. The lanes are in great shape. The staff reacted quickly to any lane issues. Not cheap. One hour, three people with shoe rental $90. However, worth it.

Gina Ortiz

Amazing experience here. And the food is so freaking good. I'd def come back here

Christine Smith

My kids enjoyed this place! Food was great but drinks was blah

rodrigo silva

Nice place to grab a drink and play bowling with friends.

william flores

It’s ok not good enough for the price.

Mr.majue Verse

A company gathering, a perfect place for such events, as long as they came to have a good time.

Natalie D

Fun place and decent food options!

Naresh Kumar

Good place to hang out with friends and colleagues.

Brocha Strobel

Frames was extremely helpful with making a surprise 40th Birthday party for my husband. From the booking staff, to the desk staff and waiters that evening they all helped pull it off. They were reasonable priced and worked with me to find the best package to suit our needs. I would go back any day. They weren't super busy for a Sunday night and that made it even nicer and more intimate.

Lisbeth Alarcon

We had a bowl with colleagues here, great place to interact with one another and have fun. Really recommend if in groups.

ausaf ansari

Really nice though I didn't pay from own pocket

Victoria Cepeda

Great atmosphere and diligent staff. Lanes are immaculate. Although I would recommend some structural and appearance upkeep i.e. main entrance (steps) could benefit from nice power and some of the steps leading to the lanes were worn off (may cause someone to trip). But I am a neat freak :) Hey, it's still a great and budget conscious bowling establishment. Very clean bathrooms, too! I would have given it five stars if there would have been healthier food options at the snack bar.

Andre Blake

Nice place with good music, drinks and appetizers

Oleg Lomov

Very clean, good atmosphere. Good prices

Lherby Fleurisma

The place was very clean and beautiful. It's also surprisingly spacious, so if you come in a group, you won't be uncomfortably cluttered together. The food there is very delicious and is served very quickly.

Erica Carmelo

I always have a blast coming here. It's such a cool place to do a private event with some friends. They have a great bar and karaoke set up. And the food is great too.

Val Tsyplenkov

The cocktails are strong, the equipment and the furnishings are in good condition. The service is great. One awesome thing is that you don't have to wait for the shoes rental - you can just pick a pair for your size from the conveniently organized cubby holes. Two things I don't like are: 1. Lighting. The lights over the lanes are frequently dimmed to match the music videos that play on the screens over each frame. This might help the mood and stuff, but makes it hard to aim, actually. 2. Balls selection. The combinations of weights/holes sizes are quite few. If you prefer a ball with bigger finger holes but don't want it to be a 15lbs block buster, you have to ask the desk, and even then the success is not guaranteed.

Ketsia Amazan

Went there for my friend's birthday. Had a good experience. The atmosphere was welcoming. The staff were solicitous. The drinks were strong. And then you bowl. That's fun.

datasianjan

Came here for a company event with my coworkers and boss. We got the "Summer Splash" package. The food was delicious and a great choice for our event. It was easy to eat while bowling. The place is clean and spacious so your not bumping elbows with other groups. Good music and happy atmosphere! The drinks were pretty good for the price. Overall: Had a such a great experience, was well fed, and the employees were responsive and respectful, it's a great choice if your in a group!

cristal hernandez

I gotta say customer service is not 100,% best. They're definitely tryna to get you to spend as much as possible. But luckily I was able to get the deal after 11. Getting a lane for $140 for 7 people. This place can definitely be better. The music was good tho.

David Moore

It was hot in there the entire time we played but I liked several things about it. The shoe selection is self service. The game computer felt like it was in good shape.

I didn't try the food or alcohol, so no comment on that.

Shukhrat Maks

It's fun place for corporate outings. We had great time, had two hours of bowling with food and drinks, however it mostly served fast food, such as fried chicken bbq chicken burgers and fries with soda. Fun place, because they have table tennis and karaoke options at the premise. Also you have to commute with subway or cab, parking is impossible to find in the area. Staff were helpful and very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place if you are planning to come for group outings.

Annie Wu

Pretty decent place in Time Square and right to the back of Port Authority Bus Terminal. I went there for a private event and we had the entire bowling alleys, bar and karaoke. Food were just fair, and drinks were good though. Having good time and good place to host private events for 200+ people.

Chicken Nugget Izzy

I went to the bowling lounge and the food was good but we waited such a long time for my friends food and milkshake for me.i had a lot of fun with the bowling part but it was just making me mad because I didn’t have my food for an big amount of time. Plus the milkshakes are just melted ice cream I advice you don’t go to here it’s was awful. Also I ordered a cinnamon roll and they told me after I paid that they didn’t have anymore

Bruce Bigirwenkya

Plenty of Lanes. Ideal for team competitions. Music is good. Fair selection of music from different times. I particularly relate with 2000s. I felt very much at home. Food options are good. Varieties of options with different sauces to cater to different degrees of spice lovers. Drink options are pretty good too. Beer lovers would fit right in

Kyle Massey

Only giving one star because zero isn't an option. Horrendous lanes. Zero attention to patrons after they have paid their money. Bowl anywhere else.

Michael Jenkins

Very good experience, staff was accommodating and friendly! My only critique is that the bar staff at the bar closest to the bowling area, were slow. I was standing at the bar at one point for 7 minutes before any bartender greeted me, and it wasnt like they were super busy, they were just conversing with other staff. That was a bit irritating.

Saloni Goel

Great bowling experience and EXTREMELY fun karaoke room! Go there for happy hour!

David Escobar

Not a place to bowl if you're an actual bowler. The lanes were very dry. The shoes were horrible. I'm just glad I did not have my own ball and shoes. The lane probably would have scratched the surface of my bowling ball. I paid an hour and left after 2 drinks. I will never go back.

Karine Gregory

Frames place os cool. We go there with coworkers to bowling & unwind. For $45/per person, we get 2 hours play, finger food & huge beer. Definitely a great place & lots of fun!

prashob s

Love this place. Good food. and awesome times

Anna-Celia Sierra

Went for my birthday and this place is built for entertainment! My crew and I had so much fun! Can't wait to go again.

Adventures of Xinia

So much fun with friends

Alberto Silveira Junior

Place was good but no bathrooms. We had to walk to Port authority to use the bathroom. No good.

Rachel Holcomb

Very fun, nice atmosphere, definitely better than alot of bowling alleys ive been to, food was pretty good, service was okish. Bartender was pleasant servers were pretty rude, but didnt really need them for much. This was a outing for my coworkers and myself, so I would say this is a very good place to bring large groups for some food and fun. Lots of fun photo opportunities as well.

Candypie 2010

If it wasn't for my gfs birthday I would had been highly upset cause we paid for 8 people and they said we only paid for 5 when they still took my money cause I paid after 5 p.m but we still had a good time, the food was great hands to the cook, they played some good music and we all had a good time and the staff were pretty nice. We still all had a great time and next time if you want to add someone just pay at the place rather than online because it'll be some problems when you get there.

Mordy g

While the place is definitely very nice it's extremely expensive. It's $75 for an hour or going which is way too much. However that being said the place is extremely nice , well maintained and a lot of fun. There is a great vibe for fun and entertainment. There is also an attached game room with a ping pong and pool room.

abhilash patni

Good place for a group party. They have games from bowling, ping pong to billiards. They have great combo options which include two hours bowling, two platters and two drinks each person. Best to choose that if everyone drinks. Also, they have l dance floor and place to eat too. The waiter and the staff is really helpful and ready to help with some confusion with the orders.

Tami R. Parker

Hosted my Axispoint/T2 Computing Annual Holiday party at Frames... A fabulous time was had by all. The service was excellent!

Ifeanyi Obinali

Nice spot to by the timesquare trains terminal to hang out before jumping on the train

Anderson Swift

Got there and their system was down so they started us late but did not give us the extra time we missed out on. Then with about 15 minutes left, the lane broke multiple times and the manager told us if it hit 6 and we weren't done its too bad. He said he couldn't add time but luckily somehow our waitress was able to. We also wanted to pay for an extra hour but they were "completely booked." We stayed and finished our drinks and food for another hour and there were at least 10 lanes open the entire time. THIS PLACE IS A RIPOFF

Jeanne Maxbauer

Terrific experience. Great facility. Surprisely good food and attentive service. A terrific entertain option (albeit not cheap).

Courtney Trimble

Nice place to go for Ladies Night Out. The food and drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. There is a lounge located in the back of the bowling alley. Overall, it was a nice place. Staff was attentive and pleasant. I would recommend

Peter Michael

They were very nice to my family.

Ramatoulaye Barry

Great time!! Food is amazing! And great music

Jasmine Tucker

The food was awesome and the VIP room was even better! Great experience.

Rebecca Fuentes

The decor is super cute to come and take pics w. Your girlfriends. Or play pool. To have a drink , however. Depends on your bartender. When me and my homegirl went out, the bartender we had. Appeared to have an attitude for some reason, but the drinks were good. Had a good amount of alcohol for what you pay:) but the food may be overpriced. Everything is above $10 bucks I believe for personal sized meals.

Joe Flo

Great place to have fun eat pizza and have a few drinks.

Sandy Gantt

Enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. Drinks are expensive ...fyi

David Benjamin

Place was empty and way over priced. $75 for an hour not including shoes. Service was poor at the bar and there was mandatory 18% gratuity. Drink was over sweet. Won't be going back

Hermione RILEY-KING

Great for Group Events and meet up located right in the Port Authority Bus Terminal. Train or Bus convenient or parking lot rooftop.

Dan

Very expensive for bowling! Ping pong was cheap and fun though

Ivan Santelises

Nice staff. Decent bartenders.

Urvish Doshi

Good bowling place, food was okay and drink was good too little expensive for couples but good for groups. Had a good time.

Satyajit Dam

Biggest positive is location. Its inside PABT and hence well connected to public transit. Food was a mixed experience: the wings and flatbread pizza were amazing while the chicken sliders were terrible. Now for the not-so-good: the bowling equipment is old and needs an overhaul. Balls were chipped in numerous places. The lanes didn't seem level. And finally, the server wasn't the best, hard to find and also didn't know how to help us add an extra item to the package. I had to talk to the manager for resolution.

PR FLAGSUP

Nice place the bowling was very fun

Phillip Gaye

these lanes are fire! here at least one a month trying to get my 300 game on.

Arianne Paroly

Frames is such a fun bowling alley! The food is good, and the drinks are alright, but the music is fanstatic, and the ambiance and service are exceptional!

saroj lenka

Awesome place for bowling, booked private room and trust me it was pretty awesome. Food wise, they serve avg food neither so good nor so bad. A must try when in NYC. Rooms is not good for more than 8-10, because not much space for foods or plates or your drinks glasses.

Sash Peart

Ambiance good. People nice. Fried Chicken a bit salty.

Lyssandre Emmanuel

The atmosphere is awesome. Drinks are too expensive considering their "strength". Music is great.

Ghost Dad

Its kool. Very pricey. Employees and managers have bad attitudes

datasianjan

Came here for a company event with my coworkers and boss. We got the "Summer Splash" package. The food was delicious and a great choice for our event. It was easy to eat while bowling.

Jan Gie

Nice clean spacious atmosphere. You can go play or just hit the bar. There is waiter service for food and drinks, both are decent.

Sal LoGalbo

Went to a kids party here. It was a lot of fun and food was very good.

Wendy Bloom

I had my birthday here. It was so fun. The food was great. The service was superb. Great time.

elizabeth portillo

Food was okay the sangria was delicious. The bowling was fun. We got there very early so everything was clean.

Jassim Jesse

Really nice though I didn't pay from own pocket

Almidia Jack

Nice, clean place. The food is excellent! The workers are respectful and extremely helpful!

D Wright

Great experience with the group I went with. There service is reliable and friendly with a clean environment from what I see so far.

Divine

Fairly quiet, we went mid pm, perfect because we had a farewell party. I didn't like that our games were abruptly stopped, I guess our time is up, but maybe there should be a warning. What if we opted to extend? Food options- mostly fried and plentiful for sharing. There's roasted veggies with dips-ok. You have your own table across the lanes for those who don't want to play. They have a bar too. Tip: alcohol is served here. Rentals come with bowling shoes but no socks.

Joseph Connolly

Good used balls,any open lanes.

Hudi Kowalsky

Funky, modern bowling. Great for groups. Clean and comfortable lanes and amenities. professional and corteus Staff as well.

M Johnson

Frames is a very fun(albeit a bit pricey) place to go and bowl, sing karaoke or just enjoy some drinks. The atmosphere sets the mood and the food and drinks are great.

Susanne Spooner

I would recommend anyone to go here, my brother's Surprised Birthday get together was awesome, every one said they would do it again and again...

adam booth

Upgraded to the private bowling lane and had a great time. Food was really good

Ray Rondon

Me and my son had a great to Me, a little expensive but you can't put a price on the fun and boy my son had.

Ryan Neff

We were pleasantly surprised for our group outing - who would have thought it for its location, but it was perfect, clean, and modern - and a lot of fun

Adriana Dorner

Good time for group trips game Area is fun with giant sizes of your favorite games

D Mc Kenzie

My Colleagues and I meet here for the right to brag "who had the best bowling team" one night after a long work week. It was Friday at 6.30 pm, the place was almost empty. I figured since it was summer everyone wanted to be outdoors. At about $37 dollars a head drinks, ball and shoes were included, not a bad deal for the city. There is also a pool table there. We ordered food of course, the platters came loaded. Food was well prepared and our group had an especially great server. The bathroom are well kept. One problem, with the going vegan movement, this business needs to adjust their menu alittle, which is why I subtracted a star. I had only one avocado and corn chip dish order an no other choices. So vegans eat before you go especially if you plan to have a few drinks.

JoCee Porter

The environment is super chill with bowling, 2 bars, pool, karaoke room, ping pong. Neon signs and plenty of seating. The reason for my one star review is how disgustingly gross and dirty the bathroom was. Toilets were clogged, toilet paper was everywhere. Unflushed feces. Most stalls didn't even have toilet paper in them. One toilet seat had blood all over it. I was shocked at the state and completely repulsed. I'd hesitate before having a party here.

Mike Yosi

A good time for a large group. And the food is good. Coconut shrimp is a definite try.

Jacqueline Arisumi

Great place to bowl and have fun

Jose Pascual

Came here for a team outing. Great bowling lanes and great food! Highly recommended!

Jacquelyn Bautista

Had a blast here for my birthday but they are pricey

Sambul Chami

We were in the VIP area for a 30th birthday party and it was perfect! There were 13 bowlers but the space would've easily accommodated 5 more. The staff were all extremely helpful and attentive, the food was good, and we had a ton of fun. It is good to know that this room is rented by the hour, not per game, so whenever your time is up the lanes turn off no matter where you are in the game. Not a big deal for us, it was not competitive, just provided a fun and exciting place for friends to catch up and celebrate. I would go again and recommend to friends, and with a group of adults I would absolutely rent the VIP section again.

Irvin Romo

The lane we were assigned kept malfunctioning. They kept fixing it and adding time, but it was no use. The lane kept breaking mid game really killing the fun.

jamie szeinberg

Fun, cool place. The food was excellent. Bowling was good too. Also happen to see Jimmy Fallon bowling there as well. Certainly a cool bonus.

Ben

Very nice place. Good waiter service. But music is same level even if theres very little people. Also quite pricey.

Derek Robinson

Good atmosphere. Drinks were a bit strong but we'll priced. Bowling is a bit pricey for even midtown Manhattan. If you do go please go at night as they do a great special for unlimited bowling for 2 hours after 11pm.

Shukhrat Maks

It's fun place for corporate outings. We had great time, had two hours of bowling with food and drinks, however it mostly served fast food, such as fried chicken bbq chicken burgers and fries with soda.

Staff were helpful and very friendly. Would definitely recommend this place if you are planning to come for group outings.

Sirena Rodriguez

From outside could not tell how nice it was inside. The food and service was great and had a nice time playing bowling. The only complaint I had was that the air conditioning was not working very well on the day of my visit. It was very hot. Made it a little uncomfortable to play.

E Luna

The bartender was sweet and funny made my day after a long bus trip. The flat bread margarita pizza delicious. Thank you. Will bbs.

sheldon blackman

Cool spot, however, please keep in mind , this place is pricey

cristal hernandez

I gotta say customer service is not 100,% best. They're definitely tryna to get you to spend as much as possible. But luckily I was able to get the deal after 11. Getting a lane for $140 for 7 people. This place can definitely be better. The music was good tho.

Jackie Mendez

Terrible service with dismissive staff. Our company paid thousands of dollars to host an event there and the service was subpar. I asked our waiter of the night to refill our pitcher of water and was told, "You have another pitcher of water on the other lane." Really?! Unbelievable. Then when asked to receive help adding another player to the lane another staff member was walking away as I was talking to him. I would not recommend especially since tip is predetermined in the price paid a month in advance to reserve the spot. Poor service all around.

K K

We had a company get together here, the location is super convenient and easy to get to using the subway. The parking around their is very expensive, so use public transportation. The place can get busy in the evenings, we went on a Friday. The booking process was a breeze and so was getting the lanes going. The food options are expensive and it is better to take one of their various packages, instead of ordering the lanes and food separately. Gratuity of 18% is automatically added to the bill, but the service is not up to the mark and you feel rushed , especially close to the point where your reservation is ending. They book on the hour, so make sure you consider that when timing it. There are restrooms at the place.

Jason Dilan

Always a fun place and staff is very friendly

YPFLOW TV

Very good bowling place in the city for a good price. Place looks nice and good music on weekend with a dj. Food and drinks were good. Only thing I wish was that the lights were a little lower to feel more like a lounge night vibe. But will deff come back here.

Kecia Cotton

We had a "bowling birthday party" for my son. The service and food was great!! I'll go again.

Bob Brennaman

Nicest bowling alley I have been too. Boys loved it. Not cheap but its in Manhattan so it has to be expensive I guess. Would go back.

Shayna Singh

I celebrated my 18th birthday here back in November 2018. As to say it’s a very unique place to hang out with friends and family. Customer service was good and helpful. There is also very creative wall art and many activities to do. The food was delightful too.

Jamie Stephens

We had a blast this weekend and we're so coming back soon. They had some great drinks too. The service here was awesome and gotta try the karaoke scene next time for sure.

Keith Dsouza

Nice ambience and well kept lanes. They also have helpful staff

Courtney Hill

This place was fun!! The staff was nice and accommodating.

Tani Chambers

A swanky recreation spot for adults. I booked my daughter's 24th bday event here a few weeks ago....LAST MINUTE. Like the day of and everything went incredibly smooth. We booked bowling and billiards which end up being perfect. We were assigned lanes right by the lounge area with the Billiard table. Listen the food here is AH-MAZING. This is not the frozen pizza, fries and hot dogs at the neighborhood bowl. The terriyaki wings and fried mozzarella were the favorite. We ordered some other items and NO COMPLAINTS. We were considering Karaoke too - the room is sick - but opted not to because the song list wasnt up to date. Good thing we did because these kids don't know time - and were late. However, unlimited bowling starts at 11pm and ends at 2am so that worked out perfectly. Our server was great and so was the front desk woman. Here's my ONE issue: THE DRINKS. First order of two patron Margaritas came to $36 or $18ea w/o tip. Now I have paid $20 for drinks and when I don't expect it to be WATERED DOWN with loads of ice. And that appears to be the protocol here. We even decided to order pitchers of the margaritas which end up costing upward of $100 with the patron upcharge. However it was stil drowned with LOADS OF ICE. No bueno. Our group spent about a $1k on drinks, which is fine, but don't water it down. Otherwise, everything else was awesome. Good spot for groups, date night and small parties. There were about 4 adults there (over 40) and we all said we'll be back this summer w/o our 'young adults.'

G Greenz

I went here two weeks ago with my 2 sons. I asked the lady, latina lady for the prices and she stared at me first, then began communicating in a condescending manner to us three. I work for City Government. Geez. I will never come here again. Also, my school will not be allowed to come here ever. Never pre-judge ANYBODY!! Thanks for the reply, sir. You obviously seem to know more about customer service. However, this was still an embarrassment for me. I will send you a copy of my reciept if I still have it. Have payment proof...I paid by card :).

Glm X

Frames is a great place to meet and greet they have everything Ballard ping pong bowling good food full bar good meeting rooms and right next to port authority bus terminal. How convenient is that ! Go it's a must.

Oluwaseyi Olaniran

Nice place for friends hang out with good food

Annie Wu

Pretty decent place in Time Square and right to the back of Port Authority Bus Terminal. I went there for a private event and we had the entire bowling alleys, bar and karaoke. Food were just fair, and drinks were good though. Having good time and good place to host private events for 200+ people.

jayme jewelz

The fact that women cannot dress how they want is terrible no crop tops, wow! didnt understand that one. I wasn’t comfortable I love my tattooes and had to cover them. Drink highly priced where is the booze though they had too much ice ugh.

Matt Baca White

Bowling doesn't have lasers and fancy lights, but you do get two screens per lane: one shows you your score and the other shows the music video the DJ is playing. The bartender Maya took good care of me. She deserves a raise! Made new friends on the bowling lanes and the vibe is super chill, will be back.

Johnny Trigueno

That staff are friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere to go bowling with friends.

Val Tsyplenkov

The cocktails are strong, the equipment and the furnishings are in good condition. The service is great. One awesome thing is that you don't have to wait for the shoes rental - you can just pick a pair for your size from the conveniently organized cubby holes. Two things I don't like are: 1. Lighting. The lights over the lanes are frequently dimmed to match the music videos that play on the screens over each frame. This might help the mood and stuff, but makes it hard to aim, actually. 2.

If you prefer a ball with bigger finger holes but don't want it to be a 15lbs block buster, you have to ask the desk, and even then the success is not guaranteed.

Fun time with the coworkers!

Paul Bradley

We spent time here bowling and in the Karaoke room. I would recommend they get new bowling shoes as this is considered a boutique bowling center and the shoes were in horrible condition for an upscale bowling center. The food was great and the Karaoke room was awesome. We had a party of 27 and we never experienced any bad service throughout the night.

Perhaps the best bowling place in NY.

Pete Lee

Bartenders are rude and not knowledgable or helpful. I am not a tourist but a regular commuter that walk pass this place daily.

Sherry Motta

Trendy place to bowl. Music videos over the lanes, bar in the middle, self serve shoes. Good for kids parties, grown up parties or just a night of fun. Cool vibe.

cassandra becerril

Absolutely a great grown up spot to chill and have a good time bowling or kareoke!

Fernando

Awesome for large groups, good finger foods. Stay away from the pizza tho lol

Ray Mullen

Great upscale entertainment center. Lots of fun. Good food and drink.

Richard Fahrer

Nice spot to grab a quick drink before a long commute. Happy hour specials and bar food. Bowling and parlor games

Louis Charles

had a crazy time here with a bunch or friends yesterday. We were all kids again lol. and it was great. cant wait to it again soon

Tom Madden

Great spot right outside the Lincoln tunnel..!!

Stephanie King

The crazy heat today must have been getting to the door guy. Either was awful at verifying out of state IDs or absurdly bad at guessing age. Like really bad. 2 stars because at least he didn't act on his paranoia in a way that required me to call the police to get my ID back. I was worried for a second it would go down that way. It was embarrassing to be shook down like that for the "crime" of having visible acne while also being in your late twenties. With a 100% valid license and social security card and a husband with the same last name and similar age not getting harassed.

Luke Fontaine

Fun time bowl night. Courteous workers. Good music. Also has pool tables and table tennis / ping pong. Food and drinks are good. Limo service has easy access to the Lincoln tunnel

Chrissy S

A great place to relax while others bowl. We made the kids have fun. We sat in the eating area right behind them to drink and eat. The food was amazing. Bathroom was clean and kept clean on rotation. Drinks aren't strong but tastes good. The game room was fun. It's a good place to be.

Tyler Barrett

Enjoyed the vibe of the venue. Good music selection. I suggest you avoid going during holiday time due to all the office parties that occur ha ha.

It’s very poorly lit. Too claustrophobic too. Facilities and equipments are very basic. It’s not that clean either.

Troy Colbert

To expensive never again. They charge you by the hour

Sonali Ambekar

You might think that its close to Times Square so it might be small and crowded but inside is whole new huge world. Booking and going is better. Do look at the offers of combos with bowling and food/drinks because its cheaper that way. Drinks and ambience is good. People are friendly.

Sandwich was good and nicely renovated since i last visited..

Bob Brunsky

NY is in the middle of a deep freeze and this past weekend my friends and I need a warm cozy spot to have some fun and relax. I was able to book my reservation online and when we arrived it was beautiful. The music was awesome, the balls were in great condition and the menu left nothing else to be desired. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 was because we had a little glitch with our lane and I lost a few frames. This would have been an issue if I stood any chance of winning the game but since my score was a joke we just laughed the whole thing off. We will definitely be back.

Brent Donoven

Great bowling, the lanes had music video screens at above pins for a fun atmosphere. Seemed really expensive.

kai chan

Very fancy with lotsa booze but too expensive for me.

Mocheri B.

The food and atmosphere is excellent but I had a less than good experience with Fredya while trying to make and pay for my reservation. I was told my reservation would held for a couple days in case I needed to make any changes and can make the payment then for my son's 21st bday. When I called back to make my payments and to make the necessary changes the computer was and was told the changes cannot be made. Being that the changes would change the cost I asked can I make the payment when the computers are back up? Fredya said she cannot guarantee the reservation if the payment was not made today and there was no refunds. I asked to speak to a manager and was told no because they will tell me the samething. The computers bring down was not my fault and I should not be penalized for it by having to pay more or losing my reservation.

Rob Taskov

I heard great things about Frames but I think it's pretty average.

Monica Thompson

We did a 2 hour bowling private party there and every 15-20 minutes a staff came and disrupted us. Towards the last 20 minutes we felt overwhelmed and rushed

Akshay Phalnikar

We did our team outing here. The package they have is pretty good for it. 5 appetizers, bottomless drinks and 2 hours of bowling followed by 1 hour of ping-pong or snooker. We got the leftmost lane which was horrible. Most of the other lanes were empty when we came in and when we left. The food and drinks were the saving grace. The thai coconut shrimp is just too good. Overall the team had a fun time but I guess we will go somewhere else next time.

Anika Isaac

Definitely a must on my bucket list of things to do in the city.

Johann R
