    Fun bowling spot!! Came here for a work event. Food (pizza, wings, fries, etc.) were just okay lol

    Came here to celebrate a birthday, and we had a fantastic time! We took advantage of one of their package promos, which included bowling shoes, mini burgers, and a tower of domestic beer. Everything was delicious and made for a great value. We had a blast bowling, although our lane had a small hiccup when the pins got stuck and wouldn't reset. Thankfully, the manager handled the situation professionally and kindly gave us a free game to make up for the inconvenience, which we really appreciated. Great customer service, fun atmosphere, and an overall memorable experience. Thank you! We'll definitely be back!

    Went here for a corporate event on a weekday. It was unseasonably warm that day, so the nearby streets were jam packed with people. Once we arrived, had our bags checked and told to pour out our water bottles- which was interesting. Never before have I been asked to pour out my water bottle before entering a bowling alley, so I'm assuming a lot of people try to bring in their own liquor here? No need for that though, the drinks here are very good. The venue was very spacious with a huge arcade in the inside. As far as food, the cauliflower "wings" had great flavor and texture- highly recommend the Garlic Parmesan. It did get a bit hot near the lanes, but management was super responsive and turned the air up. Would recommend as a fun outing or work team builder.

    Came here a few weeks ago for a holiday party, with about 10 lines reserved on the 4th floor. However the negatives overshadowed the positives and overall I wouldn't recommend for a large event. Upon arrival you take stairs then an elevator up to the floors with bowling lanes. Exiting the elevator there was coat check around the corner to the left, an arcade area then the shoe rental counter in front to the left. Staff was prompt and courteous at the shoe rental counter, asked for our sizes and passed shoes to us quickly, my group managed to find a lane, grab food and set up our electronic bowling scorecard on the screen. While none of us happened to be particularly stellar, the game was fun. The facilities were well-maintained and colorfully decorated overall and the space was sufficient for our group. That was where the positives ended. What I (and others when I got feedback after the event), felt was lackluster from least disappointing to most: - food: we were served mostly pizza (plain, pepperoni, and buffalo chicken), soft pretzel pieces, meatballs in marinara sauce. Some cookies were available as well. The meatballs and pretzel pieces were pretty decent, the pizza was a bit less than average. - layout of the lanes for a very large group: wasn't conducive for mingling or service because between the lanes and the wall behind the lanes, there were counters where food was placed, then only about four feet of space which also served as a walkway, so staff had to thread thru multiple people picking up food or trying to have conversations as they came up and down the walkway. No separate bar or food service area. - drinks setup: there was wine served at the event though only a 3-4 bottles placed out at a time, at each of three high bar tables behind the bowling lanes which a) wasn't enough for 150 people, b) didn't come setup with enough glasses, bc there wasn't enough space on the high tables for that many glasses, c) the second round of glasses were brought out about 10 minutes after the second round of wine came, so anyone that didn't already have a glass basically had to wait until those with glasses already poured a second glass. - service: the staff wasn't rude per se, but it clearly felt like they couldn't wait for us to leave. In the middle of the event while we were bowling, with five of us sitting at the head of the lane with plates and glasses mostly filled, staff came over twice within 10 minutes and tried to take our plates and glasses, and we had to tell them no. When we stepped away mid-game for the raffle announcements, we came back to our lane with everything cleared away, really annoying because they obviously they weren't keeping track of our schedule of events and trying to be accommodating. Then while several lanes were wrapping up their bowling games, staff just rolled out the large garbage cans and started tossing all the leftover food. Way to rush us outta there. Was it really necessary to start cleaning up while more than half the attendees at our event were still there at 4:45pm? (Event was scheduled to end at 5pm.) Their opening hours are until 11pm on Tuesday nights. In general I might be willing to come back for bowling with a smaller group of several friends, but I surely wouldn't suggest having another large event here.

    Came here for a work event after I suggested it and glad to say the team ran with it! Everyone had a great time overall. The setup was a big plus. We had a private section just for our group, which made it feel more intimate and organized. The space was clean and well-maintained. We had food and AYCE well drinks, beer, and other refreshments. The food was decent standard party fare like sliders, tenders, pizza, and mini pigs in a blanket (served as pretzel bites). The only downside was one of the lanes kept breaking down. We had to keep calling someone to reset it, and the response time wasn't the best. That part could definitely use improvement. Other than that, it was a fun, easy spot for a group outing. Would recommend for casual events or team get-togethers.

    Came here this afternoon with my coworkers for a teambuilding event and what a blast it was. I haven't had this much fun in years. Mind you I haven't been bowling in ages, but that did not matter as we all had so much fun, bowling and cheering each other on. The place is so warm and inviting, and the music was pumping, but in a good way. They had a nice array of bite-size apps, but like someone else here said, it was substantial. A few of the offerings were cauliflower bites, mozzarella bites, chicken skewers, and a lot more. Then for dessert, they put out cake pops, and assorted cookies. Everything was really nice and the staff were so very accommodating. I was happily surprised how much I loved it here and would gladly come back.

    gets crowded fast weekdays or weekends so best to get here quick and put down your name on the waitlist! kinda pricey so I suggest going on Wednesday for 50% off ($12 per person per game). Nicely themed lanes, had a good selection of food & drink options. They also have a nice lil arcade section.

To be fair, still prefer the booze, but health first. We got a package where we had two hours of bowling and a bit of karaoke. We got caesar salad, pigs in a blanket, nachos, and chicken tenders. All was good except the nachos. Skip it. After a game of bowling, some of us stayed and did some karaoke. Personally think this is a good place to bowl, sing, and do other things like pingpong and pool, but the location is not ideal. Port authority gets really sketchy after dark. Would not go out of my way seeking this place out.

Luckily we arrived early, but it was a bit upsetting that they couldn't provide an estimate of how long the wait might be, only a list of how long some other groups have currently waited, ranging up to 3 hours, which is a long time to spend wandering around Times Square waiting for a text. I also had some arcade credit from another Groupon, which we used to keep ourselves entertained for about 45 minutes during our wait. We were so happy when we finally got the text that it was our turn to bowl.

We would play so much back at home, it became economical to buy my own shoes and bowling ball (and also clearly great props for picking up the ladies...) It is not normally something worth doing in NY, due to high prices and low availability, but when I first heard of Better Off Bowling (BOB), I got really excited. In total, there are 40+ teams sized between 6-10 people. The league is pegged as recreational, though don't be amazed if you see players scoring 180+. Each week (total of 6) you are paired against another team, using your team's top 4 scores to battle it out. At the end of the season, each team is put against a team of similar record in the playoffs, but there isn't really like a single-elimination tournament at the end to crown an overall champion. The current season is finishing up, but there will be a new season starting at the end of Feb with a Sunday league and possibly a Wednesday league as well. (I'll update this post once more information comes out) Regardless, it is another opportunity to do something unique in a city full of new and random activities, spending time with friends and drinking (half price) beer. There is also a great post-game bar with loads of flip cup and beer pong a happening. So far, the people I have met during competition and afterwards have been awesome and ready to party (especially "Table Man", if any of you are lucky enough to meet him). Don't let lack of bowling skill stop you from having some fun a normally boring Sunday afternoon. I highly recommend getting a group of friends together and joining up. After all, dodge ball was only cool when the movie came out, so you should pick a different sport anyways.
