Reviews of Spare Time Greensboro (Bowling Alley)

Brian Collins

Good location for fun

Paula Tuttle

Awesome place for adults and kids. My grand daughter had her 9th bday party here and it wasnt your typical kids bday party where kids had a few games in arcade to play. This arcade is huge . They have laser tag and bowling. The grill wasnt your ordinary grill. Food was delicious. This bowling alley isn't your typical bowling alley that's boring. This is awesome place to bowl, eat, arcade games, and laser tag. Very nice and huge on the inside. Employees very nice

Tekele Moore

Great atmosphere! Love that they had karaoke bowling and laser tag all at the same time! The only suggestion I would make is that after 9 any minors need to be escorted off the premises.

Allan Kuylen

The staff are super friendly and helpful. The inside looks gorgeous and they’re always renovating and updating to stay up-to-date and entertaining. Fun for all ages.

Matt hatch

A great place for a kids birthday party. The entire facility was modern and clean. The pizza for the party was excellent and the food that we ordered from the grill was also very good. Faith was our hostess for the birtday party. She was awesome and made the entire part run smoothly. She was great with the kids and is by far, the best party hostess we've ever had. Thank you again Faith for helping make our son's birthday a great experience for everyone.

This is a great place for all groups of people. The lanes were out in blacklight, which adds a fun element to every game. You can customize the lanes to have the bumpers up for the kids, and down for the adults; or up for everybody ;) The eats aren't bad and we usually enjoy getting a plate or two for the family to share. Birthday parties are a really good and they take care of a lot of the planning.

Dejaleesa Robinson

good place for family fun

Ryan Spencer

Out of all the places I've been to for laser tag and bowling, this is by far the best. The vests are nice and reaponsive but not too much so, the guns are nice, they work well and are accurate, the layout of the area is good, and the bowling is phenomenal. I love this place, it has a special place in my heart.

Dan Emerson

Great place to bowl and play Laser Tag

Marcy Bilgrav

This is a very nice establishment. We had a great time.

Lisa K.

Chip & Erin were awesome - friendly, attentive, personable! Overall I'd highly recommend this place. I'll be back for sure!

Charisse p

Really fun for all ages

Marquis Beverley

Fun place but I need to get better at bowling!

Rachael Peterson

Best bowling alley in town as far as accommodations - VIP bowling room complete with bar and catering. Amazing food, lounge area, lazert tag - not much more you can ask for. Is pricier than other alleys in the city but well worth the extra if you are looking for a higher end experience.

William Wiese

Great place for bowling and games! Different deals each night and nice new bar area.

Bri Bri

The place itself is nice. Beautiful lanes, nice arcade, nice bar and the works. My boyfriend and I came here tonight and had fun together but it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences. It was very overpriced, over $35 for two people and two games. $12 for a plate of nacho fries and one drink. Not to mention the fries were overcooked, a small portion, and cold too. It also took ridiculously long for them to come out. There was a family starting to crowd around our lane, presumably to use our lane once we were done. We felt really pressured. The employees were also standing around, talking to each other and not doing much. Took 10 minutes before someone even looked at us or greet us when we walk in.

David Wagner

Been back a few times so my kids can play the arcade games, but my more resent visit they went up on all the game prices which were already at a dollar per play per my last visit. This price change made the time spent there a lot shorter and my kids didn't get to play much. Doubtful to return until the prices change.

James Davis

The remodeling looks good but they need to work on communication between the kitchen and staff. They lost our food and it took way to long to get it

Char South

Awesome visit. From the moment we entered their facilities, till the moment we left the building, all the employees we made contact with was very welcoming, pleasant, and helpful, and professional. Even the person from the restaurant came to our table personally and offered her assistance if or when we wanted it. All this while part of the facility was under construction. Thank you for the great service. We will be back again.

Jason Waller

Had a great time bowling over the weekend with friends. Staff were friendly and alley was clean. Would rate 5 stars but I feel $20 is a lot for 2 games and shoes.

Danita Canty

I always enjoy going to Spare Time plus they have very good food

siobhan james

The arcade!!!! It's all great fun, especially the lazer tag!!

Tyler Piotrovsky

Amazing atmosphere and food. Good quality fun for all ages! The nicest bowling alley I've experienced!

Will Scott

I went here on a field trip. They gave us only two very small slices of cheese pizza for lunch. When asking for more they told us we had to pay for more pizza. 6$ for a slice of pizza. Not worth it. I would not recommend coming here because of the lack of food.

philip kaufman

The place was really nice. It was clean, good atmosphere, good food

Brian E

Nice place. Good they have laser tag.

Brian Holbrook

Haven't been bowling in a while. It's kind of expensive oh, but it is a nice place

Tammy Ross

This is an amazing place for all ages. They have a varity of different bowling, dining to arcade games. Trendy and fun!

Tommi Childress

First time there with my family. It was raining and we wanted to do something fun on Sunday. The only reason why it's not a five it's because it's expensive and no one really helped direct us on what to do. Like a free for all. On your own.

Jonathan Rollins

I've only been here once, but it was much nicer and well kept than any other bowling alley I have been to. The arcade area was large and the lanes were well kept and looked newly rennovated (or maybe the building is fairly new itself) We had a little work event in their private area. I think there were about 10 lanes dedicated to that area. There were plenty of tables to eat, a bar, and overall it was a really nice experience.

Viviana Kucharski

I can’t say enough about this place. We celebrated my son’s birthday here and it was awesome!! All kids had a good time enough pizza and time for the arcade.

Michelle Reopel

Had a good time with my boys. One attended a laser tag birthday party. Had dinner, food was yummy.

Audra Harrison

This is definitely a fun place to bring kids. But brace yourself to leave your wallet. It's expensive. Laser tag is really fun when the guns work. Staff a super quick to help me when the gun didn't work. Arcade is fun but prices are cheap. I do like the new renovation with the lanes. To make set more fun when you're playing with a group of people

Chet Maney

Service Industry Night was amazing. It's so great that theres a place around here that caters to the service industry workers once a month. My group from Chopt at Friendly center had a blast and we cant wait for the next one!

Layton Johnston

Amazing spot to do all kinds of great stuff. Chris Bunton has always taken awesome care of us when we visit for events, charity functions & just to have a good time for a few hours with friends. Highly recommend him & his staff to any business, group or families looking for a fun spot to do it all.

Lissa Rivera

Fun! but expensive

Bryant Randleman

Had a wonderful time. My sons enjoyed playing laser tag and video games

Fred and Sheila Staton Jr

This place is great for family fun and even for an adult date night. I first visited this place with my husband and we had a awesome time it reminded us of when we were younger. Then I brought my mom and my son and it was an absolute success. This place entertained a family that ranged from ages 29 to 80 and we all had a great time. We have declared this will be our spot for our monthly and family outing.

Annie Seiple

So much fun for the entire family. The kids bowl free program is wonderful and adds an inexpensive outing for the summer. The inside looks outstanding since the recent renovations and makes it feel more like a place that can easily switch between family friendly during the day and more "grown up" in the evenings.

Enoch Sarku

Best thing about this place is the laser tag and virtual reality experience

Lo Key QB

Great place to go and have a good time

Morgan Brittain

Not a big fan of the recent renovations but it's well kept and nice

Jack Oats

Awesome place with tons to do and a little something for everyone! The prices did seem a little high for somethings, but we had a blast! 2 adults and 5 kids and everyone had a great time!

Sandi Reid

Wonderful place to have a good time no matter what age you may be!

Regina Smith

Great fun with friends! Good food! Wednesday bowling 1/2 price.

Monty Baddar

Good place to bowl. Clean and renewed Lanes

Amber 90

The photos you take during signing in your name is one of the best parts of the experience!

Allison Smith

Only gave u a 3 because we had fun. Service was awful. Young people working at the front dont need to be there. Very unprofessional.

Javier Carranza

What a pleasant surprise this place is! It has lots of lanes, a nice arcade and a great selection of food and drinks!! Child friendly with a variety of things to do, I definitely enjoyed it!

Daniel Peterson

It's like participating in a Chinese firedrill, but they also have something for everyone!!!

Rhonda Fosson

Great family fun! Clean! Friendly, helpful staff!

Bye 4116

Great atmosphere. Good prices, good food. All around great place to have fun with friends and family.

Chris Walls

A little on the pricey side but very nice on the inside!

Mike Laughead

Nice atmosphere even being late at night when we showed up. Good prices and all of the staff was very friendly.

William Pratt

I love this place! You can bowl, play arcade games and play Lazer tag. I will definitely come back to this place!

Melissa Rollins

Nice, clean modern facility. We just bowled, but everyone had a good time and the kids want to go back for laser tag. The kids loved the silly cartoons on the bowling screen.

Gary Wilkins

30 minutes for loaded fries. Not a reflection of all employees they were understaffed, and one waitress who never returned.

Tom McWilliams

Great place and great people. Loved my time there.

Cherie

Fun for the kids. But plan on spending money

Maria Sardo

Love the renovations and service was great! Our team had a blast!

VC Hall

Very disappointed! The place is beautiful, quite a change from the old Buffalo Lanes but the customer service was terrible. We ended up with one hour of play time and in the middle of the second game the lane was Shut down! Right in the middle of a turn. Beforehand we told the girl we had a coupon buy one game get one game but after waiting for 20 minutes for a lane that's when she redirected our intent and gave us the hourly rate. Ridiculous! Seven of us were there for family fun. We ended up talking to the manager for clarity, to no avail. Our experience was absolutely terrible and we will never return. If you are not a regular bowler and looking for family fun, Do Not go the Spare Time!! The $$ is more important than the customer and it is expensive!!

Sharon Dusel

Took 5 grandkids there. We bowled & the kids also did laser tag. They had great fun! Only 4 stars because a bit expensive, but they enjoyed it.

Aamber Thomas

Had a blast on a Saturday night. We were seated in the VIP section and the experience was great. The bar is currently under construction so the food and beverages took a longer to get

Sopheap Pang

Wow the staff is great and I have not been to a bowling alley and play center that caters to every age group like spare time. They really spruced it up with plenty of renovations and it looks amazing! There really is something to do here for everyone!

Brad Hayes

Went to my nephew's bday party here and the place was perfect. They have just about everything you want for a kids bday party and you get a little helper for the entire time you are there. They get drinks and food and make sure your every need is met. Fantastic place and will definitely be having my sons party there.

Jae Esquire

I recently went to my nephew's birthday party here. Newly renovated and updated throughout. Nice Lanes, friendly staff. Pizza was decent. Good place for a kid's birthday party.

Ken McPherson

We had a great time, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We got a chicken bacon ranchero pizza and it was very delicious. The lane had some problems if you got a gutter ball (lane 7). The atmosphere was clean, fun, entertaining, without being totally overwhelming or loud.

hunter howell

James Browning

Amazing. The staff is so well trained and everything was so organized. Congrats to whoever's in charge there.

Age Rivera

We reserved the VIP room. The staff was friendly and very helpful with playing our company videos, keeping our food warm and our area clean. The bowling is great and cool to customize your face into the between frame graphics. They have a great multi floor laser tag arena and a large arcade. The food prepared for our room was excellent and the entire experience was awesome.

Robert Holloway

Pretty Clean. Great bowling specials. Air CONDITIONING, clean air. Safe place. With ALCOHOL on the property.

Jaxon Isler

Shawn Cooper

Really nice bowling alley. Not how I remember them anyway.

Lisa M Davis Thompson

I guess it's okay I've never been there

Linda Hairston

That s a great place

Julie Hicks

Not bad spot. Only issue is some of the workers have attitudes

Ashley Moore

First time here and I had a wonderful time! I am a big kid so the game room was a HIT for me! I will definitely go back and take my son!

FBP

Had a private party, paid $2000 on food and drinks. Had plenty of food leftover but was told that I could not take MY leftovers home. I could understand if it was a buffet style but it was not. The waiters, party and atmosphere was nice but this was very disappointing on behalf of the company's so-called policy. Makes no sense!!!

Elyse Tishuk

They hosted my sons birthday and wow, what an amazing staff and exceptional service! the cost is average for a child’s birthday party but you get so much more than anywhere else.

Bo w

Great place for a birthday party... Kids had a great time... Parents too! We had Pizza, Chicken Wings, Onion Rings and Nacho's.. Food was Pretty Good.

Antoine Henderson

Very fun for the family or a date night.

Mark Long

Nice updated bar and good food

Domingo Bell

I'm from NY, MY Granddaughter turned 8 years old,it was Beautiful she enjoyed it and so did I,Spare is the Greatest.

Jacob Ficca

A ton of fun for the whole family. A large venue awesome for birthday parties and for just a fun time out, with designated areas for bowling, arcade games, and an entire dedicated laser tag area.

Michelle Vernon

It’s a nice place but very disappointed we had my stepson birthday party here Saturday someone had stoled his birthday card we had talked to the manger about it and there was a camera near the table we was at but he said he couldn’t look at it due to it not picking up where we was then he said he was also looking for it funny part was when we left to leave he was standing outside talking I will not be back here

Faith Codjie

Very nice. Very fun to play around and hangout with families and friends. Very nice customer service and food.

Danny Tatum

It started off as a successful birthday party but we didn't get a chance to do the laser tag portion because the worker didn't realize we was waiting in th wait area. By the time they realized it, we couldn't go because another group was scheduled at that time and we wasn't able to go. The kids were very upset.

Kenneth Gathley

Great value for the middle of the day. Enjoyed our time there.

Dravin Pendergrass

One of the greatest places to go, spare time is one of my favorite places to take friends and family the bowling lanes a superior to all others around that area the arcade is very fare and fun and there food is truly amazing for a bowling alley.

Lamar Benjamin

Awesome Place, can't wait to go back!!!

Dan D

Newly renovated, their ownership has invested fully in the future! Transformational upgrades to this place, with a new central bar & lounge, more arcade floor space, and the bowling lanes are still well-maintained and technologically advanced. Spare Time is growing with our city, and if you haven't been in awhile, you will be astonished at this new look!

Denise K Mason

Great place to have clean fun.

Stephanie Bolton

Had a great time! Thw new restaurant is great.

Tarra Cooper

Overall this was a great time. The kids had a blast! Had kids from five to twelve and everyone was happy.

Ali Ismail

Arcade had sufficient selection but the cost per game is boarding on greedy. Over all I had a fun time, even if it was a little short. When there was an issue with a game malfunctioning staff were hard to find (on a week end) but when notified they refunded and fixed very quickly

Jessica Wilds

Had a blast! I'm such a big kid! Great food (a little pricey but fresh and made-to-order, and worth it) and the selection of arcade games are amazing! I wish I could come more often!

Dacat is cool

I really like it there!! I won a jackpot of 500 tickets and was very happy. Theres only one thing i am a bit upset about: they keep increasing the prices of the games and its a bit annoying. But its still very fun

Moses Perry

Man, bowling alleys sure have cleaned up since I was a kid. Clean and open atmosphere. Lanes are clean and good. Scoring system is easy to operate. Food can be pricey. Avoid the pizza.

William Cole

Loved this place so much when I went bowling earlier this week with a friend, I booked a group to go back this Saturday night to bowl on a reservation for 2hrs ...with 6 people on one lane. The cost per person is outrageously expensive— but I’m interested to see how well the customer service will be.. for the price we are paying we should at least get one round of free drinks... TBC 3.2.19

Ron Moore

New upgrades are nice. I will be coming back in the future. Love the 80s night very cool.

We do It ALL 770

Good place for family time just being extra cash lil expenses

Ama Mante

Very fun place. Multiple things to do like lazertag and games. The food is good and I really liked the place.

Mary Dykes

i really enjoyed the staff the environment and the food I will be coming back

Zak Bush

Nice lanes very modern plus lots or things for kids (or adults) who have no interest in bowling. Everything was great until a little more than halfway through the second game we purchased. We paid for a total of 9 people on 2 lanes, and were not informed that the group of 5 HAD to be on the second lane, and there wasn't anything they could do other than start a game on the second lane and only play 20 total frames before it shut down.

Boss Bee

This is my second time coming here. The first time I didn’t sit down and eat, my kids and I just played games. This time I decided to sit and have a drink and some food. I’m not sure what the issue was but the staff was so rude to me. I ordered at the food stand and sat in the bar area. The waitresses in the bar area ignored me, never asking if I needed anything or if I was ready for them to remove the plates once I was done eating. After I asked one of the staff to remove the plates, he acknowledged me saying sure and never moved the plates. I’m pretty easy to please but this place has a serious lack of customer service. And I ordered a whiskey smash- it tasted like they poured a bottle of simple syrup into the glass! I am extremely disappointed with the service and the staff. Do better ! Sadly I won’t be returning !

Tremaine McInnis

Super fun! I recommend the VIP section. It's a few dollars more but well worth it.

Monkey N Around

I went here a few weeks ago for a birthday party. Their customer service is great. They took care of all the folks in the party and made sure everyone was happy. Excellent service.

forlorncornstalk

It's just cool, the bowling is a little high, but is worth it for all the stuff that's there. Me and the rest of the family loved it.

speedracers81

Really nice place.Bowling,lots of video games,and laser tag.A full bar and food.

Maria Johnson

Super nice, but prices are kind of ridiculous. Game room is huge and very fun, too.

Dean Moor

Great atmosphere, great service....loved the bartender very friendly

Patrick Wareham

I love this place, family friendly, great food, and they Groupon !!

Fabian Ortiz

Great place to spend time with family and friends. I wouldn't be surprised if they need to expand. Just a little concerned about the alcohol served here and the mixture of teenagers and kids. I know they tag you (ID). I wasn't sure if I was getting into the Club or going bowling...but that just my thoughts

Jason Henry

Awesome time with the woman I love.

Terra Watkins

It was ok. Had more fun at a local place

June Collier

Great place to have some fun. They offered Karaoke and even a VIP area. Prices aren't bad. Plus they stay open late.

Donna Spicer

Nice atmosphere and courteous staff. A little pricey but they do have specials on certain days. We enjoyed iour visit and will be back!

Neil Weatherly

The employees are great. We only did laser tag and it was awesome.

Mekhei Ali

Lovely family oriented place.

Fred Hoffmann

My wife and I's first date was here. We went bowling, did some laser tag and played a few games...5 years ago! Came back recently with our 4 year old and 1 year old. Amazing time of fun and games

brandon duncan

A fun bowling alley with an arcade, a little pricey but great way to kill time!

Shatyia Credle

It was SUPER FUN an the food was pretty good. The waiter we had was nice and he made jokes to help with the wait since they were busy.

Bobby Maynard

Nice facility, good equipment. The house balls are organized by size and are in good condition. Friendly helpful staff.

Terry McCluney

The atmosphere was amazing. The employees were awesome. Even when the power went out because of the storm the offerd us water until the system was able to reboot. All and all still had an awesome award-winning time. Also the inside is super clean and well kept.

A Abc

Went bowling and I loved it.

Rodney Crenshaw

the ladies was awesome! they did all they could to make use happy.

L R

This place is so cool! When I was growing up this building was just a standard bowling alley with a few pool tables. Now it's been redone so that it looks spectacular! I went bowling the other night here with some friends, they are definitely expensive but they have nightly deals that are really nice. We went to their fancy bar, the bartenders were very nice and helpful, they have a very sweet drink called Pain Killer that was really good. We havent gotten to play later tag here yet, but me and my husband love laser tag, so we are excited to try it! Their arcade looks absolutely massive...they even have a VIP seating area now, impressive place!

Mel Downing

Really fun...clean...friendly staff

Eric qc

Simply the classiest bowling/arcade destination in the Triad area. Highly recommended food and entertainment.

Christopher Wilson

Had a great time with coworkers.

Art Calvin

Great time for all.

Latoya Neal

I want them to cater my future wedding when I get a man, because the food is just that good. haha

Monica Bailey

It's relaxing, very laid back and nice, a clean, fun, reasonable, atmosphere. And the food is good too

Andrew Defiore

Great place that's changed a lot the past few years for the better. Would recommend for larger parties, great for the kids.

Ronald Shearin

Very much a fun filled environment

Andrea

Great, clean, fun place!! Expensive, but we all enjoyed ourselves. Wonderful arcade & games!!

RMARI GARDNER

Great place for the whole family!!!

Mrs.B

This place is terrible, they only care about your money.. they removed bowling lanes to put a bar smack dab in the middle.. we waited over 45 mins for a lane... sorry they didnt get any money off of me at the bar! I let the kids have 20$ for a card... I had to explain to them it wasnt chuck e cheese that the games were a 1$ or more. 4 people to bowl was 55$ for one hour.. on our 2nd game we had 2 frames left and the lane shut down... they clearly don’t care if your in the middle of a game.. this place is a money Hungry establishment that only wants your money! We will not be back!

Keno Tomlin

After the upgrade and changes it's a great place to hangout and have e fun with friends

Usman

Cool place with a lot to do.
