Hi - i am disabled and can not see very well. i asked a person next to me if they could kindly read a text message i received. the other patron was nice and read it to me. The bartender thought I was drunk and refused to serve me. read more

Had a fantastic spinach and arugula salad here last night! Fresh ingredients and tasty champagne vinaigrette dressing. We started with the potato skins which were also good. They came with a delicious cheese sauce. My husband had pasta with vodka sauce that was pretty good, too. Honestly I didn't expect the food to be as good as it was given that this place is almost more like an arcade than a restaurant. This is the revamped Highball space, and they've kept the skeeball, bowling, and some other games. It's a slightly different layout but it's familiar. Give it a try for a casual drink and dinner. Hopefully they have more business on weekends than on Monday nights. read more

Attended a private party at High 5 and had excellent service. The bar tender, Matt, was top notch. He worked fast and followed up to make sure our drinks were to our liking. Music bingo was super fun, great songs. Axe throwing was fun and felt safe. Bowling was a blast. Clean environment, great entertainment and excellent service. Thanks you High Five! read more

Amanda (the GM), is a very special & hard-working individual. She motivated her employees in a great way especially during these tough times. When I heard she was leaving, I was bummed out, but more upset for the staff that seemed to like her a lot. I hope High 5 flourishes after she leaves, but she will be truly missed. The regulars that see her on a daily will miss her greatly! read more

MATT the manager is amazing!!! I LOVE HIM!! HIS service is amazing, drinks are amazing, I came in from a busy night at work and saw the manager doing everything!! From bartending to doing everything. I just can't believe it. He's Ana amazing manager! read more

Really hard to get service at the bar even if you've been sitting there awhile, but okay drink and happy hour specials. read more

Top Notch Place!! Had a company event at the Anderson location recently and Brooke, Adam and Maudie (sp?) took us in and made us feel like family! They made everything PERFECT!! Their GM, Joseph has the best customer service skills which explains how his staff follows closely behind! Their event coordinator, Johanna was also very helpful and responded to emails very quickly! The axe-throwing activity was a HIT and their arcade has great choices for games!! Their food was good as well but all in all, their customer service made us want to come back again!! Thanks, everyone- for your A+ Service!!! read more

I was at High 5 for a business holiday party and overall I gotta rate it 4 stars. There was a mix up with the timing of the food but once it came it was delicious. The bartender Matt made sure we had a great time regardless. He seemed short staffed but regardless of any short comings with the food he took care of us. I left my jacket and had to come back the next day and he was there to give it to me. Overall this would be a 5 star establishment if the kitchen was as on point as the bar staff. read more

I love this place. I have been coming here for 8 months until I asked for a michelada. First off, I've tried Micheladas ALL over Austin and none of them compare to a real michelada. And I've tried A LOT as a Hispanic woman. Ask for Adam. He's the only one that can make a good one! And of course always tip your bartender. read more

I'm not one to complain but honestly I work in customer service and I know what good service is like. There were two or three different bartenders and we would literally wait 20-30 minutes after our drink was finished and I'd have to walk up to someone to order another beer. Not to mention there wasn't anything more but like 10 people in here. Might come back and give it another shot but the service needs to pick up read more

AJ was an amazing bowling host! Professional, prompt and courteous! We will definitely come back to see him

Lots of options for things to do with a group or even a date night. They have axe throwing, arcade, bowling, and bar and food.

Bartender Matt is freaking awesome!! Very attentive and fast with the drinks!

Yes, there are fun things to do like toss axes and bowling. But they play the lamest of pop music and weirdly high volume, and the food has made me sick. I'd recommend sticking to drinks only and wearing earplugs. read more

I would recommend this place to literally no one. The service is so poor it is nonexistent. The price is ridiculous for bowling yet they gave me shoes so ripped my toes were coming out the sides and when I asked for a new pair they gave me yet another pair of ripped shoes. It took 15 minutes before we were even able to track someone down to check us in for the reservation. Had to find someone else to fill up the water. Wish I could give 0 stars. Save your money and go to Highland Lanes. read more

My first time visiting this establishment. I went for a bachelorette party to use the axe throwing portion of the bar. I have to say, Jarred made our experience. He was happy, interactive and without him, it wouldn't have been as great as it was. Thank you Jarred for making our future bride's day a success. read more

We had lots of fun! I took my boys to have some drinks and a good time and High Five did not disappoint. We did everything from axe throwing to golf to the virtual games which were surprisingly realistic. The graphics were super cool and the zombies were actually scary. The bartender was really nice and the manager was very cool. A great way to spend some time and I highly recommend it!!! read more

The karaoke room was the cherry on top!! Great drinks with TVs everywhere for sports season and all kinds of games all over. I couldn't recommend enough! read more

Such a fun environment with great music! It would be good to go with friends or for date nights!

Made a reservation here to go bowling for a friend's birthday. Went to dinner beforehand and we were running a bit late, so we called High 5 to let them know that we would be running late and to make sure we could keep the reservation. The woman on the phone assured us that things were slow and it would be no problem. When we arrived, we were all a bit off-put by the vibe, which felt a little sterile for our tastes. The price to bowl was a lot higher than we had expected, and since it was our friend's birthday we wanted to make sure it was the right place to celebrate. We asked the man for a couple of minutes to discuss, and instead of professionally asking us to give up our reservation, he mocked us for not liking the vibe and scolded us like he was our father about being late and how many people were waiting behind us, even though we had let the establishment know that we would be late to avoid this exact situation. By this point, we were sure this was not the place to celebrate a birthday, and decided to leave. He proceeded to aggressively follow us and lectured us about how many people wanted to bowl and how we shouldn't have been late and how High 5 was way better than a more traditional bowling alley. It was an alarming experience - I'm glad he didn't successfully pressure us into staying and spending our money there, if that was any indicator of the kind of service and experience to be had at High 5. Won't be back. read more

Will never visit this establishment. Bought a Groupon and was told after the fact that I couldn't book online which means there's no way to guarantee availability. I have three kids and three nieces and nephews they looked forward to the field trip and when I told them that we couldn't go, they were devastated. I will never buy a Groupon for them and I will never give them my money because why would you sell a Groupon anyways? You should be able to give the same level of customer care to a Groupon cust as well And of course my luck, coronavirus has hit the community and now the coupon is expired. Thanks for nothing read more

This place is fun! My husband and I don't drink but the bar seemed really nice. We tried the ax throwing. I didn't like how the employees had to interact with us the entire time...I would've enjoyed it more if they took more of a backseat while we enjoyed our date. But they're suggestions were helpful and my husband discovered a new skill. The place was very clean read more

This place looked really cool in the photos so my dad, sisters and cousins decided to try there bowling out (Do note bowling is our thing I'm 22 and my dad has taken us since Since I was a baby) we get there on Monday around 7:30pm and the place was empty only about 7 customers. My dad paid 90$ for 1hour for 2 lanes and 5 pairs of bowling shoes . My dad has been bowling for about 35 years and after his first bowl he wasn't happy with the lanes. The lanes weren't waxed and slippery like they're supposed to be, the lanes were crooked and all the bowling balls kept going to one side , and the pins and bowling balls kept getting stuck we had to keep pressing that button to fix the pins and to bring back our bowling balls. My cousin had 2 strikes and it didn't count them, I had 1 strike and it didn't count it. 35 minutes into the game our lane (the girls) just shut off , and all the lights were off like if our hour had passed. I asked the boy at the counter if our hour was up because we didn't want to keep playing because my dads lane for the guys was still going , the boy said we still had 25 minutes and used his Wallis talkie to call some guy to turn our lane back on and my dad had had enough and we told them we were going to leave. This man said "don't tell me y'all are tired already" in a joking Manner and we ignored him because we had only bad things to say. Once my cousin told him he told us "well we haven't heard anything bad, y'all are the first" and walked off. Being so empty we should have known it wouldn't have been a good idea to bowl there, because the main event was way packed and more affordable then this place. It was our lost but know we know not to go there again! read more

High 5 Austin - Bowling Near Me - Austin, Texas

From the moment you walk in, they are trying to fleece you. Like, ridiculously. Like pickpocket ragamuffins with go-go gadget arms from the T2000 Terminator. The bowling is an eye popping $38 an hour -- before shoe rentals. With the right songs, an hour of lap dances is cheaper at the strip club. You literally have to pay $38 an hour to enter your email address for each player. And the bowling alleys are slow as molasses on a chilly day. Tots designed to punish you with the hourly rate. Scott and Jennifer Emely laugh as you struggle to access their purposefully conniving games. And they even use Christianity to justify their rigged games. Brilliant! A cavernous facility filled with the sound of emptiness and overpriced video games, it is understandable if your kneejerk reaction is to flee. Middling food, hit or miss service, and meh music round out the underwhelming ambiance. This joint ulimately feels like a Chuck E. Cheese managed by Donald Trump. But without the sexy je ne sais quoi. If you want to get hosed by entitled jagoffs, swing on by! read more

Wow! Weird vibes from this place. No one was in there on a Friday night, bar tenders were both trashed especially the short girl with the backwards hat. This place won't last long. read more

I always sit at the bar and hang out. Love their bar food(their nachos are so good!). Courtney is such an amazing bartender and always notices when your glass is empty. Super attentive to customers and she is super nice! Courtney if you're reading this thank you for everything I really needed your kindness. This will always be my happy place. read more

The food is garbage. We had nachos, wings, chicken street tacos, and a burger. It was over cooked, dry, tasteless crap. Went it was the Goodnight and was expecting similar. Visit at your own risk but definitely don't eat. read more

A pleasant recast of the previous venue. My wife enjoyed an excellent arugula salad; I enjoyed the pasta with chicken. Not many patrons on a weekday night. Attentive staff and a nice place. read more

A nice spot for a good night out. Bowling, axe throwing, shuffle board and a patio for hanging out. Load of TV and they're happy to change the channel. Not a huge beer list but many locals and typically have a few IPA like electric jellyfish or Celis Juicy on tap at about $6-7 for a pint. Overall a nice spot in the area and a good spot for a night out with a group. read more

AJ was the best! Made sure we always had everything we needed, with such a fun, positive attitude!

Good food, decent bowling (no bumpers) HORRIBLE MUSIC!!! The worst music ever, I'm actually throwing up in my mouth as I write about this. Makes me feel like I'm in a bar in a shopping center in Dallas...barf. read more

We had a company event here, and it was a blast for everyone. We have a mix of younger, single employees and those with families, and everyone found something to do - between the arcade games (the team loved the unlimited play card), bowling (kids were able to use something to help roll the ball down the lane), karaoke and surprisingly good food and drinks! The only activity we didn't do was the hatchet throwing (work event + alcohol + kids). Johanna the event manager was a breeze to work with, and was on top of her game as well as the entire staff. Bartenders were all super friendly and at the ready. We had previously done a company event when this place was the Goodnight, and service was terrible. The team was hesitant about coming back to this location again, but after our event, we will DEFINITELY be back! read more

"Family Friendly" doesn't really mean "Kid Friendly". We went because of the Kids Bowl Free program, but found our after we paid for shoes and 2 adult games that they don't have bumpers, which was a huge bummer. The staff was nice but my 4 & 7 year olds lost interest easily when they kept throwing gutter balls. read more

Nice vibe . Good variety of music playing . Comfortable seats and ok food. Great service

This place is amazing! I went for the Mayweather-Paul fight and even though the fights sucked this place didn't. Adam and Mike were my bartenders the whole night and they kept the drinks coming. They even recommended a few cocktails that had freshly squeezed juice (the High 5 press is a must have). Topped that off with some pastor tacos that were delicious and a great night in the arcade. Definitely go and ask for Mike or Adam as your bartender. You won't be disappointed. read more

We went bowling on Thursday evening and was so impressed with the customer service. The staff was fantastic and very accommodating. I will be going back. read more

Great place for food and entertainment! Ordered burgers, chicken quesadillas and fish n' chips...all were excellent! Service was awesome as well! read more

Service was great. Only thing keeping it from a 5 was that our lane kept messing up at times. Definitely would come again. Nice workers good service read more

Awesome crawfish boil this past weekend with lots of beer samples and a cool Bloody Mary bar. This place has a great Austin vibe! The axe throwing is a blast. They have an in house "axepert" that coaches your group and makes the experience really fun. read more
