We had set a playlist (Barbie) and requested 2 songs (cha cha slide, and a slow skate song) when my kid was told we was "out of skips" I said there was nothing like this mentioned in our contract so I told them to go request our last song as skaters come in to do cake and gifts "girls just wanna have fun!" As the song was ending a young adult approaches me to tell me that she can't keep running back and forth to the do booth and if we wanted to plug up our phone we can I said "ok I didn't see that in the contact and it was looked over by a lawyer (my husband) so I understood what I had signed, but that was the last song anyways it's 215 we're going to open gifts" then moved along... party ended at 3 We're opening gifts when this woman shows up I smile big at her to just be kind and she says come here very loud! for the last 30 min of my kids opening gifts she was causing a scene I didn't get to enjoy my kids opening gifts or even say goodbye to my guest because she wanted me to know it was a "waiver not a contract‍ " and her 19year old child felt attacked when I mentioned lawyer and how I pay for the facility, not the staff" reading reviews I already knew this woman was a miserable human and just extremely argumentative so I just agreed and tried to be kind. Telling her that that "waiver" with the deposit is a contract. However after ending her outburst she proceeded to stomp around my guest rushing clean up with the most constipated look on her face. Making everyone feel they needed to leave before even my party end time! I considered messaging her to request a refund based on her outburst and her taking 30 min of my time but she seemed very pressed for money! Let's all just learn from my mistake and not book this place!

This visit was MUCH more enjoyable than the last!…read more The thing that impressed me the most was that even though it wasn't nearly as crowded as last time, two employees were making laps around the skating rink the entire time. As soon as someone fell, they quickly checked on them & helped them up so no one else fell. I especially want to brag on the female skater (I wish I got her name!). My nephew was struggling & she kept checking on him, encouraging him, giving him pointers & even took time to check his skates, tighten them & make sure the fit wasn't the problem. If not for her, he would have given up in frustration. Instead, he left feeling like he had a good time & had improved. She's the biggest reason for the 5 star rating. Employees like her are what makes a business great! As we walked in, there was a very friendly employee at the front booth, so we didn't have to wonder around inside trying to find which desk to go to like last time. The special they were running made for a very fun & affordable night out. The skate rental employees weren't very friendly, but weren't rude either...just okay. A few people were drinking, but not to excess, so no problems there. The employee at the food booth greeted everyone with a smile & was friendly. The DJ worked hard to change things up and keep it fun. We had a great time and will return on a regular basis.

Who knew there was a roller rink in the middle of nowhere!?…read more Actually, I had heard about this rink a year ago but couldnt find it. A youth outing last weekend finally brought me here. .... and all this time, it wasn't that far away from me! Go figure. Anyway. Charlie's Roller Rink is a low, rectangular shaped building with a little gravel parking lot. I didn't even see any signs as I pulled up (athough it was at night). The musty, old building smell hit me as I walked inside, but quickly faded as my eyes absorbed the building: a wooden floor surrounded with a waist-high wall barrier served as the roller rink. There were some pillars down the floor to support the rink, seating off to the side, a couple arcade games, and pool tables in the back. Up front is a counter for renting skates and beyond that is a small concession area with candies and sodas. Oh, and the bathrooms are TINY! But, I suppose that's actually kind of safe considering you're most likely to be wearing skates when you go. The walls are close enough for support. Can't have people falling and peeing all over themselves. We spent a couple hours skating around, participating in skating competitions, listening/dancing to music, and having a blast. The skates we rented were great! They've been maintained well (probably upgraded a couple times). I had no issues with the ones I wore, and my feet weren't even that sore the next day. I was actually a bit surprised that I enjoyed myself so much. It's not the fancy, larger kind of rink that I'm used to back home, but it's just as fun. Three stars because it's a small rink stuck in time; but four stars because that makes it kind of charming and fun!

The fries, tasted like frozen fries with season salt. In my opinion, just go here for desert or maybe a cold drink. After all, you're in Kentucky and they don't make the bourbon in house.

Overall the place is pretty clean, well maintained, and the staff are nice. The only thing I dislike is the "girls/boys only" skate events, thankfully they don't happen often. If you are hanging out with friends, it can be a bit hard to hear each other speaking when on the rink.
