    Bowling fun
    Erin A.

    This bowling alley is very nice! The inside is clean and updated. There is an arcade here, full bar, and easy parking. The food was good! They have typical bar food but it wasn't overly greasy! They offer laser tag as well, but I didn't try the out today. We went on a Sunday and the Lions game was playing on the big screen, so you don't have to miss out on the game to have fun with your family. The kids had fun in the arcade when they got tired of bowling, which allowed the adults to keep bowling competitively against each other. The party area has very nice, comfy benches that are roomy for the family. Deals run on Tuesday for $20/person for bowling and laser tag!

    Glow bowling VIP lane

    We hosted a small birthday celebration here and really enjoyed the experience. We rented two VIP lanes for 2 hours and had a great time! Our waitress was attentive and super friendly. We ordered a few pizzas, baskets of fries and drinks. There is even a gluten free pizza that received rave reviews, which was good for our gluten free guests. For vegans I believe it's just the French fries on the food menu that is available. Front desk staff was also friendly and helpful when asking questions about planning our event. There's quite a few lanes available between standard and VIP and every single one of them was packed and busy. It's a popular place on the weekends especially. The other games and activities we didn't explore but there was a lot of kids in the arcade area which is a nice option while you wait. It has an elevated bowling alley feel and I would definitely bowl here again.

    Strike! What an awesome Bowling alley. After coming here for a family gathering I must say, I was quite surprised. Not only does this place boast plenty of parking. The interior itself is really clean. We played a game of bowling, which by the way, was awesome. I also tried my luck at a few of the arcade games and a round of laser tag. Every activity was a lot of fun! The staff was really nice as well. We ordered different food ranging from Quesada Wraps to Chicken Wings, all the way to Burgers. Everyone enjoyed their meal and had a great time as well. Overall - tons of fun, great music, clean restrooms, and great staff. I'll be back!

    I get why they named it escape. I have never wanted to escape more. The smell of cheap beer and cheese wiz fume up from the unclean carpet. When it comes to the activity of bowling I have mixed feelings. I enjoy it when I am under the influence of either marijuana, lcd, cocaine, shrooms or alcohol. Sadly this was not one of those experiences (it was a family affair). I went to pick out my ball and could not find a large twelve. Big fingers matter too escape. If you don't have big enough balls what else are you compensating about. We got the tater tots and pretzels. I didn't eat any of them but I heard they where good. Can't say on that front. The bowling was average. It was an ok bowling alley. Usually gripping balls comes naturally but I lost all my talents in this building. I put a picture of the person next to us score because I was to embarrassed to look at mine. The crowd was a lot of children and adults drinking alcohol. There was also a fun person who gave me pure enjoyment to watch bowl. You go girl. If you like bowling this place is for you go for it. But if not steer clear friends. Stay safe out there. Oh yeah on the gas or ass scale I would say ass but that is purely personal and not at all business. Until the next review tonight.

    There are 23 alleys in here. The inside is clean and not too heavily populated. There's also an arcade room to the left of the bowling alleys. They also have a artisan restaurant to the right. Not a bad place to do a few rounds and get a few strikes in.

    Cheese pizza- large
    Annum A.

    Pretty decent space to get a group together. Fun facts include an arcade space, a separate area for private parties, and they have some fun lights for night games. One hour game is about $26 and $3 to rent bowling shoes. Seems like they are running low on staff as it took a minute to get some menus and for refills on the fountain drinks. We ordered a large cheese pizza which was very salty and so were the fries we ordered. We came here once before and the pizza was actually pretty good so I think just this time was a miss. The mozzarella sticks were delicious though so I gave them an extra star for that and also because I happened to get a strike that night, so the lanes must be great

    Looks like escape room but surprisingly doesn't have any
    Kevin B.

    Don't give this place long before shut down. Games are limited and haven't been updated since they have been open. The manger is one of the rudest people personally dealt with. Told us one thing and when we came in he said he doesn't remember me. It was 5 days ago. Wants you to book and pay for a party and won't refund if someone can't make it because of Rona. Example went down to 2 lanes needed rather then 3 because kids that rsvp came in contact with someone and are now quarantined. Prices are also a bit high with no deals ever. Very disappointed, and the name is bothersome. Don't even have an escape room!!! Terrible customer service by management, terrible pizza

    They were quick and affordable and got back to me within 7 hours when I messaged them at midnight.

    Decent location. Nice cosmic bowling but too much congestion when packed. Tables are really close by. Laser tag is expensive. Bar is good.

There's a "help keep the lights on" donation box right as you walk in/out. All the games are cheap, usually $.50 to play, just like they have been for years. There was a power surge and we lost $4 of progress in our Simpsons game run, and the owner pulled money out of his pocket to make up for the time we lost. A lot of reviews are complaining about the price of the icecream, but you have to understand this place needs to be able to keep its lights on. This isn't a place that's was designed to make money, it was designed to be a get together for families, and having fresh stock icecream when your games are all under a dollar is expensive. Will be revisiting soon!

It is packed with a lot to look at in a tiny space. We came during the week when most people are at school or work, so I do not know how busy this place might get. We did not get any ice cream, so I cannot speak to the freshness of the food, but they did have a nice variety of flavors and the prices looked good. I am not sure of the portions or anything, but I would be willing to come back and try. I owner did offer samples, but since I was not buying on this day, I declined. The owner seemed very nice. He said he was inspired by Marvin's and was happy to hear we thought it reminded us of his childhood hangout. He was super interested in ideas. I would like to come back again when we have more time to hangout and explore more in the future.

From the moment we walked in, you could feel it. Great music, lively crowd, and just an overall fun atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. The food coming out of the kitchen looked amazing -- everything was plated beautifully and smelled even better. Even just watching dishes hit the tables around us had me planning what I'm ordering next time. What's cool is I'm actually in the area pretty often on Sundays because I go to a laundromat nearby, and it always looks like they're hosting a really solid brunch crowd. After seeing the vibe firsthand, I can definitely see that being a go-to brunch spot. They also keep things exciting throughout the week. Every Thursday at 7 PM, they host trivia with Jonathan from Quizzo -- six rounds covering different topics with chances to win prizes like gift cards. That's the kind of midweek plan that turns a regular Thursday into something to look forward to. And if that's not enough, axe throwing is part of the experience too, in partnership with Detroit Axe Ferndale. Axe throwing has seriously become one of the most fun social activities out right now, and having expert Axe Masters guide you through it makes it even better. There's nothing like that satisfying thunk when the axe hits the target. Between the food, the drinks, the games, and the overall energy, The Corner Grill is more than just a bar and grill -- it's an experience. Definitely a spot I'll be back to.

    This is such a fun concept. Part sports bar, part games room, part axe throwing place. There is a…read morelot going on and somehow it all works. The food is not the main attraction here, but we thought it was surprisingly pretty good. The burger was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The garlic green beans were delicious, but the portion size was comical. There were seven tiny green beans on the plate. We did order a second round to get our fill of veggies. They have a "gamemaster" who helps you select from the hundreds of games they have available. You can reserve a game table online in advance for $3 per person and that reserves you two hours of game play time. The restrooms are a little nightmarish. Literally in a dark, damp basement. Other than that, really enjoyed our evening here.
