They've got bowling lanes, a pool table, some claw machines and vending machines, and next door, the Viking Valhalla restaurant/bar. It's convenient to be able to walk into the bar to order beers and drinks and food and more. The bartender was super nice, as was really everyone we met. Basically, the beer is cheap, the shoes were in decent shape, and the lanes were open. We didn't get any wings this time, but I think that's in the cards next time. The only drawbacks, as I see them: 1. They seem to have a lot of rules. Only our youngest kids could use the bumpers, as they were worried about damage. They also watched us pretty closely to make sure all shoe rules were being followed. Maybe that's just because we were just about the only folks in there. That said, the place is clean and well kept, which I imagine is because they are vigilant. 2. I got a lot of false hope after throwing two strikes right out of the gate. I was looking at the guy's name scrawled on the wall for his 300 game, and dreaming it could be me. Turns out I couldn't even break 150.

He always acts annoyed, has 0 customer service, and hobbles around miserable because he has a bad back. I get it. I do too. 2 herniated discs yet I worked in customer service for years and never treated customers with attitude and be condescending. As soon as we walked in he said, "Yeah. Can't bowl for long, folks. League bowling tonight." No "How are you? Welcome! What can I help you with." He was quickly corrected by a woman and then he said begrudgingly, "Oh...we already oiled the lanes. I forgot. You can stay." Nice. Then we had a machine that wouldn't reset our names and scores because it was acting wonky. My husband went up. He told him, "Hit reset." So...we did. 3x. No dice. So I went up. He then threw up his hands exasperated, clearly annoyed, and said very loudly & slowly, "HIT RESET" as if I was deaf, dumb, and 4. I said, "I did. THREE TIMES."

It's bowling. It's every Wednesday night for - at some moments - too many weeks. But it breaks up…read morethe week nicely. Do some bowling Wednesday , work two more days and boom it's the weekend. But as much as bowling helps move the week along. It has also taught me to control my temper and not kick, scream profanity or get into fights and throw things. It's bowling. It's a league that is named after a close friend of my neighbor who was also a person that many people on the league knew. My teammates are each a story in themselves. Representing Buffalo. The best neighbors anyone could ever hope for. We laugh - we have a few drinks- I try to bowl, I don't understand the handicap thing and i support my team with more enthusiasm then number of pins I knock down. So if it's only bowling why is it five stars? Simple - cosmetically- the facility is in the process of being upgraded with a focus around the bar area. Sue has brought her touch that in time will work it's way everywhere that it can with out interfering with the fact that it's bowling. It's not the IMAX not a roller coaster. You don't wear it on your face or have to plug it in. It's bowling. But the food. As the name of the business changed so did the cook, so did the menu, and so did the opportunity to try some very tasty staples along with some excellent variations of fan favorites. The fried Bologna is simple but done right. Like it's supposed to be. Quesadillas are enough for everyone to get a piece - and they are not only large but good. Everything always tastes fresh. It's a total mind melt when you realize that this is coming from a bowling alley. Had a Ruben. Home run. I mean really good. There are these house made chips- they are great. Thin but not drowning in oil- try the barbecue ones. The wings are a consistent solid 10 outta 10. My teammates and I have done our fair share of sauces but we keep coming back to the sweet chili. Wings are cooked right - sized right and sauced right. Other flavors have always been good but the sweet chili is the one we agree on the most as the best. The menu says DINE in for the after 9pm deal but I have seen people picking them up so I think you can call on and get the deal. It's bowling. It's great people. It's a bar. It's some really good food. The bowling alley has recently changed hands and with a kitchen like that, bowling is a lot more fun. There's wood floor and rental shoes and oil and all those things that make bowling, bowling. Try the food.

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.

The food and beverage selections are good, service has been friendly, the lanes are in good working order, the ball selection is varied and solid...I have not an overtly bad thing to say about the place. I even like the cornball animations that you pose for when you begin so that they get worked into the graphics between rolls. Except this: everything costs like 30% more than at Classic Lanes, the more hardscrabble and bare-bones competition that's like a mile away, which, despite being cheaper, has, for my money, better food, along with about a kazillion vegan options, which is pretty progresssive for a bowling alley, and which Manor Lanes does not have. (Full disclosure: I'm in an informal monthly bowling group that alternates between these two bowling alleys and we have some internal dissension about which one is better, although we all agree that they are both good.) So, if you told me that I could only bowl at Manor Lanes, I'd really be fine with it. It's a nice place, and it absolutely blows away the shitty, overpriced, gimmicky AMF lanes in town. I just might prefer its slightly more blue-collar competition.

Mostly I appreciate their commitment to operations. Street shoes come off near the front door to avoid tracking wet salty water all over in the winter. Automatic gutter guards are available for kids. The approaches have always been clean. There are plenty of entertainment options here besides the bowling including a TouchTunes jukebox, arcade room and food and beverage options. Overall, this is a more lively and fun place to bowl than, for example, Roseland Bowl in Canandaigua which is closer to us. Also, at least as of early 2026, 3 games of open bowling costs about 4.5 dollars less per person than Roseland Bowl.

The five pin bowling is in the basement next to the Tavola restaurant. It is a little older than some of the 'big box' bowling places around but has ~14 lanes, some pinball machines, nice shoes, and it was a perfect Friday night out with our two young kids. They have guard rails and small bowling shoes for them which added to their excitement. It's licensed and they serve some snacks but we did not stay long enough to try anything. It was really clean and organized. Loved that they had the glow in the dark/disco bowling. The other lanes were occupied by large groups of kids (birthday?) and other families out for some fun. I'd definitely go back....a bit more interactive than our regular movie night.
