Older bowling alley with 20ish lanes and a retro look to it. They serve food, beer, and have a little arcade. Went with my wife on Sunday around noon, and paid for unlimited bowling for $12 a person. From the sounds of it, this place runs a lot of bowling specials so it’s worth it to call ahead and ask. Our server was very polite and professional. Will definitely come back!

What a wonderfully nostalgic place to go and have fun! I have been going to this bowling alley since I was a kid. So many memories have been created here for me, including a birthday party with a signed bowling pin from all my friends, which I still have. Visiting tonight by myself was absolute fun for lack of better words! The manager, Aaron, was top notch management. These people are friendly, they are honest, and the atmosphere is unmatched. Highly recommend!

While you can tell the place is older, the staff was kind, the food was good, and the GM seems like a real gem. My kids had a blast and were already asking to come back before we even walked out the door.
