    Rock And Bowl Hall Of Lane - Games in the bar area

    Small-town bowling alley to the max! We visited the wonderfully named Rock and Bowl Hall of Lane…read morefor my BF's nephew's birthday party. The alley opened early and gave him and his classmates run of the place. The building is surprisingly large inside. The vibe is retro, not out of a conscious effort but because it's been kept up with what is likely its original furnishings. I loved the green chairs for lane-side seating and the white and beige checkered lockers. There's a large bar area with games and your typical bar/bowling alley menu; all items are affordable and around $5. Behind the bar is a large smoking porch open to those 21+. In the front of the building is a banquet room with a silk-flower-covered wall on one end and a front porch facade at the either. There's ample floor space and several 8-foot rectangular tables; the kids had a great time running around and helping themselves to a buffet that the parents were allowed to bring in (hot dogs, sloppy joes, cake, hot chocolate, etc.). The owners/managers were super chill; they hung out at the bar to serve anyone who wanted drinks and generally just seemed to have a good time watching the kiddos have the times of their lives - no complaints when they accidentally stepped onto the lanes or decided to climb on the ball return. They let the parents do their jobs and had a good grasp of the behavior that comes from a group of six-year-olds hopped up on sugar and bumper bowling. Prices for regular bowling are reasonable and they've got a slew of other activities to keep the people of Jefferson entertained from karaoke to dart leagues. It's a bit of a drive from Madison, but I'll keep it in mind for some pre- or post-drive-in movie fun!

    Wonderful people. New ownership. Great vibe. A perfect place to bowl or just to hangout.read more

    This was our first visit to Fort 88 Smokehouse, and we would definitely come back! The service and…read morethe food were wonderful. The portions were good, and despite others' reviews, we thought that the price points for the quality and the amount of food, were spot on. We were seated in a booth, which was very comfortable and the atmosphere was great. Lots of space for dining, as well as a large bar. There were just a few minor details--served water in a very cracked plastic tumbler that went unnoticed and quite a bit of dust and cobwebs on the light fixtures above the booths that prevent us from giving five stars. (Cool light fixtures, tho!) We'll be back when visiting the area, and believe this is definitely a try if you are in the area!

Unfortunately, the fish fry itself has been very hit-or-miss, and this visit was definitely a miss. The biggest disappointment wasn't even the food..., it was the service. It took quite a while before anyone took my order. Once I ordered, the wait for the food was longer than expected, and the clam chowder didn't arrive until the rest of the meal came out, defeating the purpose of having soup as a starter. The fish was just okay, but the fries were cold. To make matters worse, I was given an empty ketchup bottle. I asked for another ketchup and a refill on my drink, but neither ever arrived. I sat there waiting, and eventually gave up and just asked for the check. What bothered me most was the complete lack of follow-up. There was no acknowledgment that my drink and ketchup were forgotten, even though it was obvious I hadn't eaten the cold fries. No apology. No "I'll be right back." Not even a simple "Thanks for coming in." At nearly $29 for a fish fry, cold fries, and a bowl of soup, I expected a much better experience. Great service can make up for an average meal, but poor service only highlights the shortcomings. Sadly, it's time to start looking for a new Friday night fish fry spot.
