I mean there arent games to play work playing, the basketball hoops didnt keep score proper and ski ball too similarly busted, just a waste, and the lanes just seemed off... idk. oh and coming in and out on the way up they must have karaoke or something (didn't see a band, just someone belting it out... thankfully you can't hear that inside the building.

Not a very good selection of balls. The computer systems for the lanes seem old and outdated.read more

Not a fan, we played 2 games in a matter of 3 hours because our balls got stuck every single throw…read moreand we would have to wait for someone to unstick them or hope they got unstuck themselves. The machine would get stuck on a loop and make the same person bowl over and over again and then not even give the score correctly. The machine also would pick up the pins to sweep the lane and then drop them before it swept making all the scoring incorrect or giving us more pins then we needed. It was the most frustrating time I've had bowling. Most likely won't be back unless all of this is fixed. Management was so kind but you can't bowl and have fun because the machines glitch constantly.

Absolutely horrible service, rude owner and they over charge for everything. Will never come…read moreback!!! Do not recommend at all!

I have been to this place about 5 times. Someone stole something from my friend and the guy at the…read moreregister laughed at her and said that it wasn't his problem. The old guy who works here is a complete asshole. The ceilings are fucked up and have severe water damage. They don't have a website and their hours aren't posted anywhere so you always have to call. This place is also sooooo dirty. The rental shoes, tables, and bowling balls looks and feel like they haven't ever been properly cleaned. The drive from Ithaca to Cortland is worth it because cortland has some nice bowling alleys. The bowl-o-drome in Ithaca is terrible. Don't waste your time or money!

The bowling ally is cheap, but you have to keep track of your score by hand.

Staff are so nice as well especially when I accidentally started a game without putting a second player's name on it. They kindly fixed it! This facility has 20-something lanes I believe! Works decently and also a good amount of bowling balls that comes in different weights. We got lucky that it wasn't that crowded on a Wednesday night. It was a nice way to pass time or burn the food from a local diner. I will come back!

On a Friday night it wasn't too busy to walk in and grab a spot. You do have the option to grab apps, meals and drink. The food wasn't bad but it tasted average. I had a mushroom burger which was good but I really thought the peppers took away from the flavor. My hubs had the chicken sandwich and thought the chicken was just so-so. Staff was super friendly and down to earth. Very helpful. Overall, we liked our visit and really made for a casual date night. I would recommend a visit!
