Great spot for a night out with friends! Plenty of lanes available, but make sure you check the league schedule before going. Prices were reasonable. We paid for 2 hours ($31/hr on weekends) with a group of 4 and got 4 full games in. There's a bar with snacks and booze for the grown up's. Afterwards we spent some time at the pool tables. There's a few arcade games scattered about as well. read more

The bowling was fun and the team on the bowling side of the business were helpful and friendly. Only 3 stars because the blonde guy Sunday at 12:30 pm working the food counter was very rude and short with answers. He took our order down wrong. He did have plenty of time and attentiveness chatting with a friend while working. read more

Great place. My wife and I have made a lot of friends here, including the staff. Always a fun time. And the food is pretty darn good.

Had an amazing time. I don't get out bowling much but when I do I'm reminded how much I do enjoy it. Got here around 7:45 and the place was lit! There was a lot of ppl, there's a bar for some adult beverages...I mean everyone bowls better after a few drinks right?! :) Great atmosphere for a date, groups, and families. I would recommend going earlier for a more family atmosphere. But we had a great night, I will be back. read more

Rainy day in Nashville while visiting for three days so opted to bowl at this well rated alley. Not disappointed as it was very clean, and alleys well oiled and out of 3 games only had to reset frame one time. The ladies restroom was very clean and big plus! No wait even with a bowling league being there. Would recommend and will visit next time in town. read more

See all

This is a good old-school bowling alley with 32 lanes. We went on a Saturday afternoon, and it was busy. The alley was clean and well-maintained, and the staff was great. They were super helpful and kept the check-in line moving. The lanes were in great condition, the scorekeeping system was easy to use, and every two lanes had a tv. The bowling shoes were also a pleasant surprise; they were updated and not the typical old ones. Overall, I had a great experience at this bowling alley and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun night out. read more

Do you like to be in a bowling environment where the music quickly switches from smooth R&B to Scottish bandpipes then to Wrestling intro music and abruptly switch over to Spongebob? Well, you are definitely in luck if you come here. A group of friends and I came here on a Wednesday night and it was a good experience. It only cost $1.50 per person per game to bowl. Drawbacks is that they have a limited selection of balls and the music is horrible at times. read more

Came with a group of over 20 and the staff, place handled it great. Good lanes, barriers for kids and only for when they bowl, staff was great. Food not so good but would def come again! read more

Friendly staff (unlike some other bowling alleys in the area), good food, and an overall pleasant atmosphere. I love bowling at this Strike N Spare. Some excellent bowlers here, too. read more

A tad dirty but not terrible. The lane wasn't working right for the first bit but the gentleman working there helped and was very nice.

Well, where do I start. I came here years ago and it was a 3.5 star and in good days a 4, but wow, this place hasn't changed, for the bad. It like the high school person that had potential and they are still doing the same 12+ years later, dressing the same, acting the same (remember, 12+ years later) smell the same (you know what I'm talking about) endless the sameness. No updates, under staff, teens talking when they should be working, nasty bathrooms, nasty old shoes, but in the upper east side the lanes were working fine, and we had a great match! So if you don't care about all that jazz and want to play bowl then come on up (it's at the top of a mini hill). FYI don't think you going to pay less, same price as the nicer ones in town. Choose wisely what you really care for. read more

I feel compelled to write a review for this place based on things like bowling, you know, not wifi. Look, I've worked at a bowling alley, I've bowled in leagues, I've bowled all over. For me, what matters is that a bowling alley has nice lanes, plenty of them, and oil on the lanes. I took a star off simply because I'm a bit of a bowling purist and can't stand the lights off and neon lights going for extreme bowling or whatever. I get it, it's the weekend, albeit 2 PM on a Sunday, and you can charge a little more when you put the lights on. I personally wish no lanes did this ever, but I understand why they're doing it. Good luck getting amazing employees at minimum wage at a bowling alley. It's just part of it. Personally I've come to expect it and it's just part of the gig. The lady I dealt with at the counter was more than happy to oblige my request to put me on the left side of a ball return, and stuck us away from lots of kids which was great. If people keep supporting these crazy "fancy" bowling alleys like D&B, paying outrageous amounts of money, these mom and pop spots will be a thing of the past like Play-Mor near 100 Oaks. That'd be a shame. read more

This is my favorite bowling alley in the area. The management is fantastic and always makes sure our time spent is worth it. Very clean and spacious. The food is so good too. Be sure to check it out! read more

Great place for bowling! The lanes are well maintained. The prices for the lanes are very reasonable. The rental shoes are in great condition also. The staff provided excellent service. Overall great place to bowl and great service! read more

I was perfectly happy with my experience at Hermitage Strike and Spare. you walk in to find a well lit building with extremely outdated features. I was having serious flashbacks to the 90's and the early 90's in the case of the restaurant decor. That said the line moved quickly to sign up for some cosmic bowling and we were told they would call our names when ready. We decamped to the aforementioned restaurant. There was a menu, a rather extensive one in fact, but no table service and only one extremely busy bartender so we thought it best not to order food in there. We did get some decent beer. Standard domestics are on tap. Outside by the lanes you can find pizza and fries served. The actual bowling experience was pretty fun. they don't waste time on any fancy graphics or sound effects at your station. Just get your ball put in your name and bowl. The lanes seemed to be pretty well maintained and oiled. Unfortunately the balls were just in terrible shape. Many had gouges, large nicks and rough spots in them. This made it very hard to really get any consistency. Fortunately we were just having a good time, but if you were playing to actually make a decent score I would bring your own ball or spend a lot of time looking for a decent ball here and then hold on to it. i was a little surprised that the music was kept low to a background noise level, in fact i can't even recall what genre they were playing if any at all. Surprising given that its usually cranked to 11 in places like this for Friday night bowling. We enjoyed pitchers of beers while we got in two solid games and a fun messing around half set before our lane time expired. The staff was basically just checking people in and letting them have at it. I really did not see any supervision at all. Finally, there is a small arcade with a few games that might keep a non bowler entertained for a half hour or so. Overall we enjoyed our time. Not as nice as some bigger venues and without the spectacle of dave and busters but it was fun for a group of friends. We checked on the wait at D&B and it was 3 and a half hours long. The price there was twice as high and the drinks as you may know astronomical. Here we were on a lane in twenty minutes drinking pitchers of yuengling for 12 bucks. Oh and the Wi-Fi was working fine... read more

Your standard bowling alley straight out of the 90s. Had to wait for a lane on a Saturday night even though it looked like half of the lanes weren't being used. Went to hang in the bar while we waited and was surprised that it was smoking. read more

Very chill, very affordable bowling. Spacious and clean. The food and drinks are exactly what you expect and want. We had a great time celebrating my birthday. read more

Cosmic bowling is fun but pricey. The place was half empty. Charge a flat fee for the night and we would have stayed longer. Drank more. We left and went to the kart racing next door. read more

We had fun playing at this location , they have different offers for diferent nights , the place it's always clean and organize and the employees area always willing to help read more

Decent bowling alley. The drinks are reasonably priced ($3-$4 per beer) and the bathrooms are clean. Go on a special night when you can get unlimited bowling for $9! (Sunday is one of those) read more

Sort of pricey. Ok just average. Nothing special to report. The man at the counter was too busy hugging female employees than to say thank you when I paid. read more

This place needs help bad. It has decent lanes and games but it is really dated and messy. It looked like the tables hadn't been cleaned all day with trash and dishes on the tables. The snack bar attendant was slow as molasses. We had to repeat the order 3 times because she kept complaining about another customer and then debating with the customer about his ID while the guy was clearly in his 40s. It took 15 mins to get our order with 1 person in front of us. While we were salivating in anticipation of a drink, three other workers are walking around behind the counter doing nothing. Good luck read more

Coming from a long term costumer, I am absolutely in love with this arcade! When I was younger my father would take me and my younger siblings to this specific arcade. Yet when we started going, the arcade section was now currently where the planet fitness is. When I saw they were remodeling. I WAS DEVASTATED! I thought they were taking the arcade out! But, after I had discovered they were not taking the arcade out I was so impatient to get back in the gameroom. Now they have even more than before! Games, pool, bumper-cars, and a beat the clock multiplayer game! The games there are acceptable for all ages! And they have a great variety of prizes! With $20 dollars me and my boyfriend come home with armfuls of prizes! The games aren't rigged like many arcades, and supply a plentiful amount of tickets! This place is a cheap, fun, family friendly environment. The staff is also so nice and helpful! My boyfriend and I usually wipe out machines on tickets so when they run out the staff is always very prompt to reloading them! They are super nice and full of personality! The last employee we had, his name was "Bob," yet we're sure that wasn't his real name because he was joking around with the kids, was so funny and very helpful! If I could give this review more stars, I WOULD! Thank you Hermitage Strike and Spare for supplying family fun for decades! read more
