I had covid so this is the first time I've been without long nails since I was like 13yo. I was testing negative, feeling better, and stir crazy from being stuck inside. I started googling things to do and absolutely fell in love with this gem of a bowling alley. The place is a beautifully maintained antique bowling alley. It's so much fun! I haven't bowled since I was 12yo, but was having such a blast we bowled 3 games! Super friendly welcoming owner/bartender/alley attendant. Polished beautiful lanes. Huge selection of clean shoes and balls. $4 a person a game! $1 to rent shoes a game. Free pencil and score paper. Free barrow a ball areas. $3.50 ice cold yuengling bottles! They have a full bar, snacks,and milkshakes. All very reasonably priced! Spotlessly clean well maintained antique chairs&score tables. Spotlessly clean dry carpets vacuumed and disinfected after you leave your boots at the door and walk in in your socks. Hand sanitizer at the bar and tables by the lanes. Great classic rock music really makes you feel like you're in the 60s and 70s. They open at 2pm and open the full bar at 2pm too. I had so much fun I'm waiting to get my nails done so I can go play there again. I'm a nail girl so that's saying A LOT. I can't recommend this place enough!

Now, I will start off by saying I am quite biased, since this is our teams home lanes, but It is…read morethe best alley in the area. the place feel like you are going back to 1970, has wood lanes that are oiled well most of the time, and they have a huge selection of donated balls to use if you don't have your own like me. The owner, Bill Pownall, is a great guy who knows more about bowling and what balls to buy than anybody I know. The place originated as a bar, but was turned into a bowling alley, which means that there is a whole ass bar up front with a huge selection of drinks and snacks that are completely underpriced. Bowling is super cheap too, at 4 dollars per game. If you are a bowler for another team having to play a match here against us, just know that you will lose by 200 pins because I know that you bowl on synthetic lanes and your ball is going to over hook, + your lines will wear down after one game and you wont know what to do about it. I recomend that you bowl with either a pearl, urethane or just use a plastic and put a shitload of revs on it.

Sometimes if they are busy they will write your name down and let you know when they have a lane available, other times they say they don't do that. I'd drive an extra hour to bowl anywhere else. The lanes break often. DO NOT GO HERE. Worst bowling alley in America. Maybe worst in the world.

The access to this old-fashioned nostalgia filled establishment is through a non-descript door on the backside of the Shop N Save grocery building. There's not much signage to point out the door. IYKYK There is a steep stairway descending down to the lanes and the snack bar. It's not handicapped accessible. Be sure to remove your shoes before you cross the hardwood on your way to pick up your lunch. That burger menu is full of specialty sandwiches. It's the stuff of dreams! I love the jalapeño burger, well really ALL of them are tasty. No fryer, so you'll have to settle for chips. Or a salad, of which there are many. Or Mexican! Something for everyone! The milkshakes are legendary. Adult beverages are available as well. Watch their Facebook page for open hours, as the cantina area is open when bowling is scheduled. It's CASH ONLY, so you've been warned. It's a hidden gem! I like to take my food out to the picnic table under the trees next to the creek.

Hidden gem, imo. I'm from the area, so might be a bit biased, but after reading the few reviews,…read moreI felt compelled to give them some positive vibes. Go there a few times a month, bowl there once a month. Atmosphere is great. Friendly staff, great burgers and cold beverages, adult or otherwise. Prices for food and drinks are very reasonable. Bowling is good too. Yes the lanes are older, but they're wood, not synthetic, and are fine. Is there an occasional pin dropped on a rack, or ball stuck that needs help from the staff, sure. But the lanes have been there for at least 50 years and I've been to a lot worse. Hours are tight for open bowling, usually before a league starts, so like 5pm to 7pm. I'd call ahead just to make sure. Read a few reviews from 2018 saying owners a scammer. That couldn't be further from the truth.

We showed up to play port around 8 PM today. I was EXTREMELY UPSET and CONFUSED that I had a worker come up to me (out of the blue ) today and say to me that they are closing at 9 PM because "IT'S SLOW". I rarely complain, but to me that just seems (lazy) when people pay money and are using your games until close. Just let them play! Really guys an hour until close and you do that?

Back them it was 16 lanes, I just revisited summer of 2012 and its 40 modern lanes, but still reminds me of the place I started bowling. The only negative thing I have to say is bowling isn't quite as popular in Erie (surprise) as Columbus where I live now and their summer hours are somewhat limited. Many alleys in Columbus are open 24/7 and the summer is a time for open bowling without having to worry about league night. We showed up here a couple of times this year, like Friday night at 10pm only to find them closed. I do like that they let you bowl as much as you want and pay after.

I've always wanted to check it out, so it was a real treat! The alley itself is on the smaller side, but it's decorated very nicely and has an arcade attached. There's a bar too which is always a plus! We ate dinner there - pizza and various appetizers. The chicken finger pizza was incredible, and I snagged a chicken wing egg roll as well, which was just as decadent. It's not cheap to bowl here. There's definitely more affordable options, so I don't think I'd necessarily list the Spare Room as a top choice if I were to have a bowling get-together in the future. But it was really neat, and if you do get the chance to experience it, you should take it. All in all, The Spare Room is a nice addition to 500 Pearl and Downtown Buffalo as a whole. I don't bowl often, but when I do, I love for it to be a unique, yummy experience. Let's not talk about what I bowled though.

If you're looking for a quiet afternoon of 10-pin and bonding with your grandmother, GreenGarden…read moreBowling Lanes is... an experience. I didn't just get a workout; I got a front-row seat to the lore of the "King of the Gutter." The Encounter While helping my nan pick out a 6lb ball, I was cornered by a man who can only be described as "aerodynamically round." This local legend spent twenty minutes explaining that he once bowled a perfect 300, but alas, "cameras weren't invented back then" (or some such logic), so I'd just have to take his word for it. He informed me that he's the best bowler in town and runs a tavern, which I assume is where he practices his other hobby: telling tall tales. The "Unc" Factor The wildest part? He's apparently a local celebrity. Every five minutes, a group of teenagers would walk up, call him "Unc," and dab him up like he'd just signed a multi-million dollar contract. I don't know if he's actually their uncle or if he just dispenses questionable wisdom in exchange for respect, but the "Unc" energy was off the charts. The Great Betrayal The vibe turned sour when I accidentally got into a groove. I rolled three strikes in a row (pure luck, honestly), and "Unc" lost it. He couldn't handle the competition. He went straight to the owner and claimed I was using illegal bumpers. The owner--who apparently values Unc's tavern stories over physics--actually kicked me and my grandmother out! Apparently, at GreenGarden, talent is a bannable offense if it hurts the local legend's feelings. The Grand Finale As we were being escorted out, Unc pointed to the sleek black Mustang parked right in front of the doors. "That's my ride," he bragged, adjusting his belt. "Built for speed." It was a beautiful car, truly. It's just a shame that "speed" wasn't happening today because the front wheel had a massive yellow boot on it. I guess even the "best bowler in town" can't strike his way out of unpaid parking tickets. Summary: Go for the bowling, stay for the delusions of grandeur, but leave your skills at home if you don't want to be framed for "Bumper Fraud." Pros The Entertainment Value: You get a professional-grade comedy show for the price of a shoe rental. Watching a man claim a Mustang with a boot on it is peak cinema. Nan's Workout: My grandmother got some great cardio in while we were being chased out by the "Bumper Police." The Social Scene: If you're looking to get "dabbed up" and integrated into the local "Unc" hierarchy, this is the place to be. Easy Parking: Well, easy for some. There's always at least one black Mustang taking up a prime spot indefinitely. Cons The "Unc" Tax: If you bowl better than a turkey, expect to be reported to management for "technological interference." Strict Bumper Policy: Apparently, having a high skill ceiling is considered a "cheat code" by the local tavern owner. Management Bias: The owner seems to believe the word of a man who hasn't seen a 300-game since the Triassic period over the literal laws of physics. Short Visit: Don't get too attached to your lane; if you hit three strikes, your night is effectively over.
