I’d rather ride a bird than go here.
Guess, I went at the wrong time on a Saturday evening. It was loud, smoky, and had to wait forever for a lane. I understand they have leagues, so don’t go during league bowling or your have to wait until they are done. In my opinion it was very pricey to bowl.
Tons of fun bowling or shooting pool. Also have game room
*In 2017 I've inq'd of a maint.job;it SEEMS like an OK place2 me albeit a slow atmosphere due2 being located in a small VA town'*(YEAH I KNOW!!!-This ain't DC/Rich OR Tidewater is the same ol refrain I've constantly used over n again!!!)*
Lanes are pretty good, the rest of the building needs modrrnizing. Love that we can rent a lane for 2 hrs.
Fun place. Good times to be had..
Food is always good and the staff is awesome
We have our work bowling holiday party here every year. Lots of fun bowling and getting all the workers together!
Bowling, pool, darts and an arcade. Great place to watch sports too.
Great place. Wonderful staff.
The people who gave it a low star are probably the people who went in once and acted like owned the place, in order to get respect you have to earn it. This is not a party place its a sports establiahment. This is the best place to go for a good time and they're smoking designated areas.
Trying to get in a little practice for this weekends Bowl for kids! Cool place, enjoyed the Monday winter special $2 a game and $2 for shoes. Had a blast friendly and helpful service. I'll definitely be back!
Customer service up front was shake-y but tolerable. Price was steep for the product; nearly $65 spent and the bartender was indifferent in her response that I would have to pay for a bottle of water rather than receive tap water out of a 8 …
Enjoy the place and food.
Not much of a friendly environment, expensive.... And no offense but cosmic bowling.... To me?..... Means more than jus some black lights and crappy old outdated paint on the walls
Fun place for the family. Has had scoring and lane upgrades. As well as bumper availability for each bowler. Pretty slick.
Our game was cut off short because someone told the employees we were bowling without the shoes on, we had a large party and two separate lanes so the only people without shoes had already finished their frames and changed back to the shoes they brought in. The bar and food area is also confusing, someone in our group had a glass of water from the bar and was told they couldn't bring to the lanes, or pour it into another cup. It was a fun time when the employees and confusing roles dont ruin it for you.
We Were treated poorly by whomever was at the desk. Our child is developmentally disabled and 13 years old. Despite the fact that she has a disibility, we had to beg for the bumpers and they would not give us a ramp because she is over the age of 10.
Nice
Lil older but good prices
Nice quiet place to bowl. Love how the inside is set up.
Play for the almost 2 hour things were almost great till midway threw 10 But lanes wear messed up and trying to charge us 4 with threats but when lanes and scores cant match up but want 2 charge us at the end and treating us with 4 hours at then end
The unfriendly old guy that works there ruined the whole visit
Lanes were good but needs to be remodeled i wouldnt even want to eat from the kitchen its so dark and gloomy and looks like it never been renovated since they had the place.
This place is awesome
Very nice place. Lanes are in great shape!!
Great place to have fun with your family
Bartender was very nice. Great atmosphere
Great place!! People are so nice and great workers!!
Will never ever come here again the lanes keeping messing up and stopping for no reason the staff are really nice and kind and poor management
Great bowling! The food is a bit slow
Great lanes and they also have a pool hall, bar, small arcade and a place to order food.
I love hanging out here. It's a great place to hang out with your friends. The atmosphere is very friendly and so is the staff. The best karaoke around!
Would not recommend to anyone. Worst service I’ve had at an alley. Was told that I could not bring a water cup from their own bar to the lanes even though it was a plastic cup like they required. Our game was also cut short 4 frames due to a disrespectful employee who claims our group was bowling without proper shoes. Completely unacceptable and disrespectful to make such a claim without any legitimate proof. Would give no stars if possible.
Always a great time
Valley Lanes is an iconic family place in the Valley! Whether its bowling, shooting pool, or belting out a karaoke tune at their Time Out sports bar, you will find a homey loving atmosphere topped off by great service from a dedicated staff!! Good People who like sharing Good Times❤
Nice, but smoky atmosphere. Bumpers are now set per person, so adults bowling with kids don't get bumpers.
The girl with the Teal hair working the concessions is very rude
Lane kept shutting down, but they gave us more time to finish after bringing it to their attention... so can’t be too upset honestly. Took 30 min to try to correct, they ended up switching our lane after the leagues left. Had a good time with family, because they tried to make things right would come back again.
Great place for fun!
Love to go bowling and enjoy the option to bowl a certain amount of time for a set amount of money. Problem is the number of times the lane shuts down and it takes forever for someone to get it back up and running, while your time is ticking away. Get it together Valley Lanes.
We love karaoke nights and the staff. The only downside to this place is that there is so much smoke it's disgusting!! Should be ventilated much better!! Those smoke fans are not working. Better yet they have a back door entrance to the outside they should really invest making a deck for them to smoke on for all seasons. Whenever we go and then leave to come home we are taking our clothes off stuff them in the washer and then hop in shower to get that smoke smell off.
Nice place to spend a good time at even for the kids prices is very reasonable and the lines attended are very helpful.
What a fun place
I was here for the sports bar and karaoke. No complaints about either; had a blast!
Rude customer service all around. At least the bathrooms were clean.
Best time and the bar is great!! Josh the bartender is literally the best in the burg!!!!
Hot great food, a bar great bowing, just a great place to hang out.
Don't go on Monday even though they offer $2 games. They cater to leagues.
Had a great time
Had a great time bowling here the pool room was a little smoky but I guess that's to be expected
Lane messed up-again-and while they're taking their sweet time fixing the problem they didn't stop our time clock so we lost a whole game-bad business and another thing-they only keep up the team lanes-bad business.
I have the best time here....Just love it!!!
If you dont mind cigarettes i guess its ok
Good place to bowl..perfect for family and children.
Im 21 years old and went with a group of friends they were able to get us to a lane right away so points for that , it was a little loud and busy (which we didnt mind)but im thinking it was just that particular night. Everything is on the pricey side such as food shoes games ect. But thats with any bowling alley really.
was told i was not a customer, therefore my car got towed when i was inside. 1 star is very generous for what i would give them if possible.
Horrible music selection on a friday night, extremely loud, lane messed up twice and got pins stuck costing us about 10 minutes or so out of our 2 hour time slot. Couldn't vape in there which sucks...
Great energy if you're looking for a place to do karaoke. The one bartender, Josh, is excellent if you're undecided on what to drink. He really knows what to recommend based on your preferences.
Very good family oriented place! Really enjoyed it there. Our lane was number 13, and a did not always work properly. But we had a great time.
Best place to have fun!
Nice staff, good prices and hours
Fun, nice people, nice pants lanes, nice food.
A fun place to bowl
Had a great time. Very affordable fun.
Had a great time there and alot of friendly people
It is a fun family friendly location
Cheap pool
Great place, clean, fun place to go bowling! Love this place!
Good to go realy injoying my vist with billy and justin at valley lanes bar every body needs to get out and enjoy thier self sometimes
We had a corporate event and we all had a good time
Had fun great lanes
.great place for fun
Great family fun for all ages
You can have a birthday parties there
Good bartenders sometimes. Bad business model in which I can't get in to have a beer during the last half hour of karaoke night when this is the only bar that's open on this side of town (that I know of,) without paying the full cover. No, I don't want to karaoke, I just want a beer at the end of my work night, thank you. Would have rated higher if not had been turned away like that. Do they even want my money?
Love to bowl. Most night fantistic!
It didn't smell that bad it was kind of hot I think someone died in these shoes the shtickman were kind of a letdown
Party time
If you need something to do it's not terrible. The ball and pin guy is a bit slow returning the ball and since your playing by the 2 hour limit his speed would be appreciated. Playing pool was fun, the smokey scented atmosphere brought me …
Worn and old but classic bowling alley appearance, good specials, pleasant staff, basic food options.
Nice place
They couldn't handle the crowd. The lanes kept messing up. It took 5 tries to get the bumpers up for my kids. The lady did apologize though a lot, so at least she was nice.
Lanes are reasonably priced. Cosmic bowling is a blast! Pool tables and snack bar are also reasonably priced. The bar in bac offers karaoke with TNT on weekends and its a great time. There is a 3 dollar cover foe that but totally worth it!
Josh the bartender is great
Rude and unpleasant worker greated through a locked door. There claimed they were open from 11-9. We were waving at people inside who looked at us and shrugged us off. After 5 min a rude man who acted like we inconvenienced him came at the door with an attitude. Told us they were suppossed to open a 5, Sign says 11am tho. Then tells us systems are down and they are open. Followed by I dont know what to tell u folks, then walked away. Never opened door, talked to us through door, did not let us ask possible time of opening or offer to let us sit inside and wait. While there 5 cars holding about 20 people pulled up. All lost business as well, prob $300+ in business lost in 5 min. Anywere I have been has not locked people out, treated them rude, not answer questions, and def not spoken to people through locked doors. Open your door, explain what's wrong, then offer us an option to sit inside and wait of go to your lounge. Maybe the place is nice, idk, but dont be rude. Most the customers here during summer, keeping you open and employees paid are driving 45min from resort. Treat them right or they with shut u down .
my family and i went to have a good time, but we had such a terrible experience... we got asked by a girl with glasses to shut up because we were being so loud...so this is my question to you..how can you play quietly??? Whats the fun if we have to be quiet??? So stupid!!!!....by the way...she was just being mean only to us because we were hispanics...there was plenty of people in that place being loud and she only came up to us, she was not nice at all...she could at least say it nicely...never going back!!!!
Long wait line to get shoes and pay for the games. Our lane (#21) kept glitching and when I asked for assistance on the touch screen no one came. Each time we had to go to the counter for help and wait in line yet again.
Large inside and has good concessions to choose from.
A favorite hang out spot for us! Never have to wait for lanes. Clean and friendly staff!
Was very nice bowling alley, we visited on league night so could not get a lane, but looked like a nice place
Wasn't to crowded got in there and got lanes quick had alot of fun
Great food, great people!!!
Valley Lanes/Timeout Sports Grill is a great place to meet new people and to associate with people you already know. The Staff is very professional and kind. And there is TNT Karaoke and DJ ing , now that's a great way to unwind after a hard week at work. If you get a little hungry while you are unwinding there food is some of the best around town. I GIVE THIS PLACE 5 STARS !!
all good. staff is awesome
The facility was well maintained Natasha was fantastic. She took notice that we had a very frustrated child who is learning how to bowl but only rolling gutter balls. She talked to him and covertly set the bumpers to activate. No more,gutter balls and no more frowns.
It was nice and reasonable.
Nice place to have some fun. Shout out to Matt!!
Staff were helpful; lanes were available on both my recent visits there.
Great place to hang out with friends and family. Staff was pleasant. Could use a little TLC but bowling alleys are a tough business.
Solid alley with good atmosphere and reasonable rates
Very modern now with new touch screens and different game modes that everybody in the family can enjoy, great place to have fun and not break the bank!
Wonderful night as always!
Great place to bowl
Great place to hang out. Bowling or at the Timeout Sports Lounge. The only reason I don't give it a 5, still allow smoking inside.
Recently updated their scoring system with touch screen input devices and customizable graphics. They don't serve beer until 4 pm.
Great date night food, fun and beverages
Good clean family fun !!
This place is not nearly so bad as the previous reviews. Yes they charge $.25 for the cup and ice water. They also have a free water fountain. The atmosphere and bowling conditions are very good.They have a great selection of draft beers at very good prices! The food is freshly prepared and as good or better than any other bowling alley food. It is family run and they have bowling specials all the time. Our family of four bowled two games with shoes for $34.
This is a GREAT place to take your family or even just yourself! There's tons of games for all group ages. Your kids can win all different kinds of toys from cranes or challenge each other to air hockey or basketball while you have a cold …
A great place for bowling with a great bar inside that serves good food!
Roomy, but pricey!
It was so fun but the people that work there aren’t nice at all.
32 bowling lanes, disco lights and other attractions.. it's a place for a lot of fun
It costs about $50 for our family of four to go, and you would expect at the cost that it would be a little bit cleaner especially the bathrooms. The staff was nice though and we had a good time
Fun if you want to get drunk
Visiting from NY and went bowling here. Front desk people were the nicest, most friendly people. Lanes seem new and scoring system is high tech with option to skip someone if they are in the bathroom or something so you don't have to wait for them. $12 all we could bowl for 2 hours included shoes.
Great food for a good price. And of course bowling is always a great time.
Great atmosphere good time and friendly staff.
Great for bowling just don't really like all the steps and then you have to step up to bowl.
Went there and ask for a cup. Manager was racist and literally attacked me to get it back. Never tried to understand the situation. Will never go back
For the area, its a great place to bring kids to bowl. Staff is super nice!
This spot was recommended by one of the staff members at the Massanutten resort. We came down to find the place packed on a Monday night. The front desk staff helped us out. She suggested we hang at the bar and by 9pm the bowling leagues should be clearing out. We went to the bar, and was shocked that smoking was allowed inside. So we sat on the very far side from the smoke ordered drinks and food. I had the hot wings w/fries while my husband had the chicken fingers w/ fries. The bar keep was very nice. He did change the channel for us so we could watch and hear the football game. After our meal, we had to wait in line to get situated. We were quickly helped with shoes and given a lane. I liked the bowling system, easy to log in and easier to adapt. The lanez and balls were nice. We didn't bowl well, but hey we just wanted to have a good time during our mini getaway.
Giving one star is being generous and unfortunately my only option on here. We went bowling for my friends birthday and brought brownies for him. One of the staff members told us that “only cookies and cupcakes were allowed” and made us get rid of them. What logic is that? Was highly disappointed in the attitude of the two young women working there and the way they treated us thoroughout our night. Props to the bartender though, bar was a little rough on the inside, but the bartender couldnt have been friendlier! Save to say I will never be bowling in the area anytime soon.
Limited parking, everyone crowded into the front lines. Old style alley set up
I have fun with my kids there today..... also beer is always cold. The only bad thing is the line to get to. One cashier.
Had a great time there. Lanes where in great shape. Very nice and clean and people where very polite.
Great food, service, and entertainment. .@++++
