Felt like traveling through time when entering this place, really like the 90s, a surprise. Well, we had a post game kids travel team party here, guess all the other bowling place was booked, we ended up at this Drome. We are the losing teams, so guess the parent who booked this place wanted to cheer the team, like a superdrome, and you can play Bowling! Game was certainly fun, kids had a blast, they also enjoyed the arcade. But When ordering food, don't be fooled by the "boneless wing", they are the overpriced chicken nuggets. When paying for $4-5 for the fries, I would hope we got extra large compared to the McDonalds. Pizza looks and tastes ok, the staff really tried. read more

See all

before i go any further, i should state we came here to pregame a funeral. after a 5 hour drive, we craved the soul-quenching family fun that only a previously 1-star-reviewed center could provide. we rolled up to a starkly empty parking lot, lit only by the brilliance of a neon comic sans "bowl-o-drome" sign. the vibes were looking promising so far. as we entered, the corridor felt dastardly reminiscent of a haunted house at 7am. after making our way through the hall, we were greeted by 3 specific and helpful signs: 1. social distancing is a must here. frick the fact that covid was 4 years ago. these fine folks have NOT moved on. 2. outside alcoholic beverages ARE permitted but heaven forbid we bring in our own water or granola bar. if you even THINK about drinking water here, make certain you smuggle it in in a flask. 3. DONT you dare bring in wet shoes. they clearly put this sign up due to our yelp reviewing predecessors. we love that they are learning and adapting. this extra star is well deserved. unfazed by the this litany of warnings, we pressed on. we were greeted swiftly by whom we can only presume is the owner of this fine establishment. despite the slew of warnings we heard about the man, we humbly brag that our experience of him was aggressively mediocre. the bowling also was aggressively mediocre. this may or may not have been our fault. we are wildly untalented. we wish we could say the bowling animations were top tier. they were not. they were simply tier. unfortunately we did not unlock the strike animation in the duration of our time here. the user interface was acceptable and we were able to fit the name "utterlyaghast" into the board, a fun nod to our fellow yelp reviews. all in all, in the midst of our grief, and in spite of the horrors, we did manage to find sweet solace at bowl-o-drome. these two stars were well deserved. you are welcome, bowl-o-drome. we know you need this. ps, dear friends. 1. if you wear a size 9 shoe, don't. 2. be on the lookout for some cheeks. these bowling animations do be wildin. read more

Service was amazing. They served us the bowling with a smile and made us feel like we belonged. The Friday "bowlapalooza unlimited pizza and wings" deal was worth all the 10 bucks we had to pay. The lanes were oiled perfectly and the balls were awesome to play with...and the bowling balls were cool too. 10/10 alley. Bring the kids to the mascot meet every Saturday night for pictures and hide and seek! read more

Just left Bowl O Drome for Mother in laws birthday. While playing game 2 in the fifth frame the lanes shut off and we were told our time expired. We had three lanes, told by the teenagers that for $16.50 we could continue our games! I won't be back read more

Our lanes were "clogged" and the workers said we'll fix it. They walked back behind the pins, so we didn't bowl. They never came back through to tell us that we were good to play. We sat outside for about a half hour, until we saw the worker was in the kitchen, they wanted our time & money. read more

Had an awful experience here. Came in and the owner was extremely rude right at the start. He was upset that our shoes were wet from the rain outside...mind you, we hadn't stepped towards the lanes or anything, we were just at the counter trying to get lanes/shoes. Instead of addressing the "problem" (if there were really was one) calmly and just asking me politely to resolve it, the owner started berating us and threw a rag at me telling me to wipe the floor. I'm not sure what his problem was, but he didn't need to take it out on us. Walked out, never going back. read more

Before I start you should know that I am a 10-year-old. Can you give a place zero stars? This place definitely deserves it. We checked on their website and it said they opened at ten o'clock for open bowling. They also said they closed at 5:00. We live about an hour away, so it took a while to get there. Once we got there, we found a league playing! Also they said it opened at 6:00pm! Their website doesn't correspond with the place at all! The owner even seemed happy to not let us bowl! He should be disappointed, because we're the ones making him money. You would never even know this place is a bowling alley. There's a sign that says Grove City Kung Fu, and one for bowling. However, once you get to the building, there's no sign that says where to enter. Eventually we found a side door that led into a dark, creepy alley. At that time, I thought it may have been a movie theater. Finally, we found a door that led to bowling. I hate to complain more, but when the website says "state of the art technology", the state of the art part must mean twenty years old. I know I'm probably saying this because I'm from younger generation, but the website made the place seem a lot better than it actually was. I would definitely not recommend going to Bowl O Drome. read more

I am utterly aghast at the poor level of customer service! I must agree with the prior reviewer - the owners make it abundantly clear that their customers are actually an inconvenience to them! We reserved a lane for Friday night glow bowl to celebrate our daughter's birthday. Upon arrival, we ordered a pizza and fries, only to be rudely informed that we should have known to order our food when we reserved the lane a week ago! This place serves food - how were we to know that you needed to place your orders ahead of time? It's not like anyone asked us when we were reserving the lane. No, we were supposed to just know this. We have been here several times in the past, and we never had to order our food ahead of time, and there was no posting of a new policy for buying food, but it was clear that they were annoyed that we were actually BUYING THERE FOOD! When we asked to have our drinks before the pizza was delivered, again it was made clear that we were inconveniencing them with our business - hands in the air, eyes rolling, sighs, etc. Then, when it was time for glow bowl, the system didn't come on. When we asked about this, we were told that the "system burned out two weeks ago." NOBODY told us this when we reserved the lane, yet we were made to feel stupid for actually asking them if they were going to turn on the glow bowl system! Finally, on our way out the door, the owner actually yelled at us for not putting away the balls that THEY had put out for our girls!! Sorry we didn't know about the policy of returning the balls...oh, wait, THIS POLICY ISN'T POSTED ANYWHERE!! The owner invited us to do our bowling somewhere else, and I will glady oblige. I can bowl for free any day that I want, and yet I chose to spend my money at this establishment for the sake of my daughter. I will never visit Bowl-a-drome again! One last comment: the lanes were in poor condition, and there were system faults at least twice per game that required the owners to walk down and fix the problem. Perhaps the shoddy quality of their lanes led to their utterly rude behavior? Regardless, I will never come back. read more
