Reviews of Thompson Capri Lanes (Bowling Alley)

Jeannie Collins

Food, Fun and fantastic! I was here a few years ago with friends and enjoyed it so this time I had my wedding right next door at american ministries. The Officiant said we should stop in here on the way out and enjoy some food, fun and games so we thought why not. We're super glad we did. I just wish I had remembered it before or I would have had a wedding reception here and saved a ton on venue fees.

Great bowling deals, nice workers

Ed Battle

Great drinks good see deals

Rob R

Good prices and friendly staff. Capri has a good balance of modern features while retaining that old-school authentic feel. One of the better houses in central Ohio.

Fun time for the entire family

Ray McFarland

Great bowling alley. You get a family feel when you walk in, from the owner to everyone behind the desk. Very nice 24 lane alley. Prices are amazing, and let’s not forget the food / bar and the prices are amazingly well. If you go I would recommend the Pepperoni Pizza, one of the best. They also have a beer tube which is something. Great times and good food, from the Owner to all of the Staff they treat you like you are family. Great prices on open bowling. Need to go Friday nights when they turn on the Disco Ball and have their rock n bowl

Noah Cardosi

These are my "go to" lanes. Bowled here in High School and never wanted to go anywhere else. Just keep in mind there are leagues that go on occasionally so sometimes you won't be able to bowl, but I highly recommend joining leagues as well.

Tod Bowen

Great staff

Ray Price

Bowl leagues there fun place to hang.

Darius Richardson

This place is always fun and they have good food and they only had me pay for my shoes one time and gave me good deals on the games

Russell Dobbins

A fun, family friendly place to bowl. Great prices, food, and fun.

Adam Buchanan

Good bowling alley, lots of bowling balls to pick from even on a busy night. for about 5 bucks a game, it was a good price and good fun. It had a small arcade too!

Chris Yusko

Bad lanes

Hunter McMahen

Had good bowling lanes, and arcade, and good service. It was cheap and family friendly. It seemed a tad bit run down but other then that my experience was great.

Vishal Dani

The night manager is absolutely rude. We went there with a 4 year boy and rented his shoes along with 2 games. After playing a frame or two, we realised that there are guiding stand for the kid and he wasnt able to play, so we requested the refund. Manager refunded the game money but didnt return the shoe rental. Now, I think the bowling company is in its right to not refund the shoe rental, but this manager was absolutely rude about it. She just didn't care about it and I have been to other place. They are much more human about such situations. My advice is that if they are the last bowling company left in Columbus, change your hobby. Its not only the manager, but all the employees share similar characteristics.

Colin Adkins

Great lanes and some good pizza...cold beer too

Black White

Great fun

Paige Bailey

Nice bowling alley on the smaller more cozy side. People are friendly.

Tony Steele

Bowling. Decent pizza. Great mixed drinks. They're heavy handed on the pours

Mark Cintula

Home lanes for most of the local high schools. Fun place, a little run down but as heavily as it's used, it's in good shape.

Mallanagouda Patil

Good bowling lanes and they are plenty more than 20 lanes. The outside building doesn’t look good but inside it’s good and they have drinks bar where you can get the alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. It’s good for

small town bowling alley feel, in the big city. Great staff who know you by name after only coming a couple of times. Love this bowling center!

Dan Smith

Great pizza friendly service at a reasonable cost!!

Brian Reese

Not much to look at on the outside. But once we got inside it's a nice alley. Price was good, pizza was excellent, lane was a little dry for my liking but overall it's a nice place to bowl

Natashia Marie

Could have been better

Ed Mash

I dont expect much from a bowling alley. Went there for a friends wake.

Clean fun, friendly staff

chyna Wilson

Family first. Thank you

Jeff McNaughton

Food. Drink. Bowling. Lots of families.

MT B

Takes me back to bowling in the 90s. Cool place, good prices on everything, and the staff is great.

Mindy Beasley

I TOTALLY LOVE THE FOOD! My new husband and walked in the place next door to get married and were able to just walk over here and eat. It was just the two of us and the wedding chapel had mentioned the burgers were the best so we had to try it out. The food totally rocks here! We will recommend the food to everyone.

Devonta Woodmore

Terrible service.

James Thomas

Good place

Gregory Smith

Love this place, management and crew is great!!! Me and co-worker always have a great time, price is definitely reasonable, five stars all the way..

John Schwartz

This place has reasonable prices, but is not very well maintained. The ball return system is worn down and we had to wait almost ten minutes to get a ball back. The people next to us waited nearly twenty minutes and had to go up to the front desk twice! They also seemed to only have 4 people working on a very busy Sunday. Other places may be more expensive, but you get what you pay for. No locks on the stall doors brings this down to 2 stars! Who thought that was a good idea?

James O'Donnell

Enjoy bowling here

Josh Schneider

Clean place for whole family

mark cooper

They need to improve handicap accesibility. The female checking us in was not personable at all.

Jennifer McNulty

Only place that had open bowling Saturday night at 9:30. Some tournaments in town. We had a great time. Lanes were good. Bartender makes great drinks. Friendly staff

Thomas Jagels

Nice facility, staff is great and you can't beat the prices

Cedric Stringer

Fun place

Paul Crouse

Decent prices and a great bar/restaurant. Rock and Bowl on Saturday night is a great time.

Elyssa Reigles

Awesome, the owner Dan Thompson is so very nice. Great bowling leagues. And when your there it's like you're with family

Donna Hatfield

Great food and spent some quality time with my boys!

Brandi Dill

It's okay. Definitely dated

Moo3

Decent place if you want to just bowl

David Karamalakis

This bowling ally has the best league on Monday night's! The owner, Dan is really friendly and personable. The staff all around is great, from Angie behind the desk and concession, Jackie and all the bartenders. A great place to open bowl too!

Alan Fritz

Got married and went there for the food and fun. best decision I made. saved a ton by going there instead of renting a venue. The food and drink are good and the bowling rocks . Had our minister not told us to check this spot out we would have wasted another grand for the venue.

Susan Henderson

Good price for fun outing

Karen Hall

Dan and all his staff truly care about their customers and even more so about the sport of bowling.

Jackie Buday

Nice staff and lanes.

Rafael Guevara

(Translated by Google) Excellent (Original) Excelent

Margaret Gilmore

Wonderful bowling center, great atmosphere, friendly staff!!! EXCELLENT food from the snack bar!!!

Kevin Logan

Had a 7 year olds birthday party there. They couldn't have been better. A great time was had by all

Matthew Robbins

An older bowling alley just off State Route 161 near I-71. I've been here twice annually for a corporate holiday party and had good times. The place seems well run with all lanes and equipment maintained. There's a separate bar/seating area with a couple domestics on tap plus bottles. They have average bowling alley pizza and food. Bonus - no smell of smoke!

Pat Price

Best breakfast in town

Garrett Pittenger

nice place to bowl the people are nice that work there the food is very very reasonable and cooked good and fresh just wish they open up earlier

Leroyal Stevenson

Me and my wife decided to go bowling yesterday and picked Capri because it was right down the street from the house. NEVER AGAIN! The atmosphere is so 50's with the owners and workers refusing to acknowledge the presence of me and my wife and served the customers behind us. Take note, we were the only black customers in the whole alley and I see why!!

Michael Burress

The shoes were very very slippery, I saw people falling all night. The staff were absolutely terrible, and our table wasn’t clean. When we asked them if they could get it cleaned they said “It isnt our problem”.

Shanequa Sanders

Prices are really good The food is even better

Cathy Wurster

Very friendly and lots of fun

Jim M

Great family run bowling center with great leagues and awesome open bowling specials! Hours listed here on Google ARE WRONG!!!!!! Please click link to Capri's official website for correct hours and bowling specials!

Ian Seeds III

Great place to go. Food, games, Drinks and of course bowling.

Christy Bohlman

Staff was excellent! They helped make the experience even better!

James Brown

If I could give zero stars I would. Staff was outrageously rude and even insulted me & my friends. I'll never come again, honestly. I would much rather wait until late at night Columbus Square Bowling Palace or Sequoia Pro Bowl to get an open lane than to receive the wild amount of disrespect I was given at Capri. No lie.

Michelle Bondra

Staff nice, food good, bowling great, location creepy

Laurie Knnobson

OK place for bowling but drinks and food are over priced. Staff can be a but rushed. Very clean though

Jillian Brock

My new husband and I were told about this place by the wedding chapel we were married at. It was very conveniently located right beside where we were married. We decided to take their advice and not book some venue miles away but instead just change our clothes at the chapel and walk across the lot to this place and have some fun. We were very happy we did. The food was much better than we thought it would be and the bowling was extremely fun. If this place had a dance floor fir the parties they would so rock! Thanks capri lanes for the fun time on our wedding day!

Jared Snow

I have bowled in multiple leagues here the past few years and come here 2 or 3 times a week on my lunch break to practice if that tells you anything. Lanes are well kept, staff is exceptional and the prices are extremely competitive if you purchase hourly blocks. If you haven't had a burger, hot dog or BLT here you are missing out. The only thing I would really have them change is adding more than the 3 edited Steel Panther songs on the juke box.

Josh Smith

Wonderful, courteous and funny staff.

Nate Johnson

I'll start with the positives about this establishment. They have good open bowling rates along with good pricing in their youth leagues. The main issue I have with this place is the way they run their high school matches. First of all, they don't put out a fresh shot for their high school matches, making the lanes play inconsistent. I get that bowling alleys don't "have" to oil for their high school matches, but most other places our team bowls at put out fresh oil before the match. I think it'd be good for them to oil because then their home bowlers would have some of the highest averages in the conference. Along with the inconsistent lane conditions, they also often rush the matches, starting them before the scheduled times and cutting down practice time so that way the bowlers are done before their big-time moneymaking parties and leagues come in. If these issues disappear, I'd give the place 5 stars. Until then, I only feel like I can give it 2.

Brandon Schobert

Great bowling and friendly staff. Jello shots!!!

angie fisher

Great Special's, Amazing Food, and Lounge has wide variety of drinks. Staff is Awesome!!! Great for kids and/or adult. Exspecially Family's!!!!

Josh Paluscsak

A bit busy and not the best communication on wait time, but great service.

Thomas Agler

Top shelf atmosphere and services

Kallie Cook

It's amazing and my favorite place

Amanda Oney

Fun place to bowl

Santhosh Manoharan

Decent place to bowl & spend some spare time away. Pizzas were decent as well.

shannon pollard

Its a cool place. Very nice employees

Chelsea Caldwell

So we were married in the Chapel next to the bowling ally, the chapel told us about this place so we stopped in for a look before the wedding. We totally loved it. Grabbed some quick food to take with us and played a quick game of pool. The bowling areas are great also and we plan to return in a few days for a day of fun

Angela Young

As good as most bowling alleys get these days. Does have some decent open bowling times, and average prices. Decent food & prices at food counter. Pretty clean, lots of seating & tables for spectators. Could use to wax/clean the lanes & balls more often.

Reina Phillips

Small but nice

Chris Farrell

Affordable fun. Usually busy but haven't had to wait very long for a lane. The staff are really nice especially the bartender

peter Thielen

This is a 24 lane facility with one designated handicap parking space. YIKES, we like to watch even if we can't bowl. The place is nice, and according to the deals in big letters on the south wall, there are some good bowling deals almost every day, maybe everyday. Of course there is a lounge (did not go in) but could see some nice flat screens on the walls. And there is a food counter and what I saw looked good. Glad to see my buddy, AJ W. bowl his last day as a senior at Thomas Worthington.

jhamerra smith

Bit of a hidden gem... Nothing flashy about this place & the pizza wasn't good after it got cold but got right in, staff was super friendly & had an amazing time with friends

Ashley Alkire

Nice to go to a bowling alley that doesn't smell bad.

Synjin Sharp

Fun bowling alley. It's old and definitely isn't the greatest, but it's a great bowling alley all things considered

jacque

Tried to take my 12 year old son and his friends for a birthday party with glow in the dark bowling only to find out that they wouldn't turn on the lights because there wasn't enough people there.Then they decided to shut down at 11:30 p.m.!! To top it off they had an attitude when I brought up the subject of no glow in the dark bowling even though I was told twice within the same day that they would start at 10 p.m!!!. will never go here ever again!!!! overpriced and crappy

Charles Barber

Great alley with friendly staff

Kenneth Reynolds

Another nice place to bowl

Adam Godfrey

Great little arcade with a couple of rare pinball games

Danielle Chaney

married right next door to this place a few months ago. was told about it by the minister so we finally decided to come back to try out the food the minister spoke so much about and am glad i did. the food is reaaaalllly goood! didnt bowl but the place looked fun all around. i was just in to eat and i will return many times again and did i mention we drove all the way from michigan just to try out this food. its so good!

Joe Milacek

Super cheap games, good lanes and GREAT people working there. Always friendly and accommodating! Love bowling here.

Duey Varian

Great place, recently updated most flooring. Looks great

Ryan McKay

This is the best bowling alley in central Ohio. All the employees are so nice and make you feel like your at home. Bowl here whenever I get the chance

Tim Shafer

Employees are rude, small place so few lanes are open, hours suck, and the lane quality is crappy. Only good thing is the pro shop. The shop is the best around as far as I am concerned.

Holly

A retro/old school vibe. Seem to have a lot of affordable specials even during the week. Went for a work event and had a good time. Equipment worked well and the staff was friendly.

Charles Linville

Nice clean bowling alley.

rj wanamaker

Good fun place to enjoy with friends and family

nelson cortijo

Best to our price after 9pm $5 a bowler for 2 hours comes to $10, can't beat that. We usually get 6 games in at that time. That's like $0.83 cents a game.

Ryan Briley

I think this place is a community cult favorite and not open to new customers. I tried to take advantage of their nightly open bowling, but there were no open lanes which happens because of leagues, that is no problem. I take issue with curse words and vulgarities by an employee and several customers being said outside as i was walking in. As i walked in, i did not feel welcomed as i have in other alleys. The culture there seemed to be intoxicated people allowed to say and do whatever they want. I did not feel comfortable.

Matt Z

A really fun place to go bowling. Great lanes, nice service, fantastic food and drinks, and as clean as any place I've ever seen! The lanes are well kept and the pricing puts others to shame. Myself and my company will be back. Just top notch all around!

Richard Hunter

Awesome friendly people

Mary Wood

I like to bowl

Mike Byers

I hated it

Forest Whitaker

Heck of a place with friendly staff and overall fun atmosphere. Large selection of house balls to choose from. Good pricing on alcohol

amatthewsnap

Good specials and atmosphere!

Sarah Searfoss

Don't waste your time. I went there at 11:00 pm to bowl and even though there was plenty of open lanes, I was told that they didn't have any available because of the 2 hour deal they had going on. The lady wouldn't even let us bowl just one game. I would put 0 stars if that was an option. This was my first time here and it will be my last.

Mike Swank

Nice and clean place. friendly staff.

h laury

Fun place

Kim Bradford

School bowling facility. Always polite and helpful. As accommodating as they can be. Never a shortage of balls or shoes. Lanes are always in good shape.

Joshua Scott

Very nice bowling alley. Clean friendly staff and great prices. I will be back.

Jason Morgan

Nice place for kids' parties or a fun night out with friends. Has a bar if you want to escape the under 21 crowd. Food is what you would expect.

Philip Krause

I went there for a foster care Christmas Party and at the end of my time I went out to our van as a family and found the battery was dead. I needed jumped and needed to borrow a jumper cable. The car next to me was going to jump me but didn't have cables. I went and talk to, what appeared as one of the managers. He was completely condescending and rude. I would go into the whole story but won't bore you. It does not take much to be nice in a situation like that. I will not be going back there for any reason.

Rebecca Hathaway

Surprisingly we were told about this place by our Minister so a week after our wedding my husband and I decided to stop in here with a couple friends to bowl. The place was fun. We're not the best at bowling but we do plan to return to bowl here in the future. The lady at the desk was also nice. We haven't tried the food yet but maybe next time.

Steven Shultz

Very friendly place to bowl!

Ron Smith

Ok this is the spot! My friend was married next door and we were referred here by the people who married them. It was late and just 4 of us so we stopped in to check out the food. I do say this place has wonderful food and service. The lady who served us was great. 100 percent I recommend the food here.

Rachael Dininger

The interior is a little dated, but the bowling was pretty cheap and the food was pretty good! All in all, a good time!

Judy Stafford

Had a birthday party there...it was awesome...we celebrated and had pizza and bowled..the kids had an awesome time....
