Downtown bowling with a luxury feel!…read more My department at work hosted a retreat for us at 500 Pearl, and rented out the Spare Room for us to have some fun 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.

It definitely adds to the whole experience. What I like about this place is that it's more than just bowling. They also have laser tag and an arcade area with classic games and claw machines. The arcade isn't very big, but it still has enough to keep kids entertained. Pricing is on higher $49.99/hour per lane on weekdays and $69.99/hour on weekends, with VIP lanes available for an extra $10. Shoe rental is extra. They sell food and drinks on site, so there's a bag check at the entrance. It can get busy on weekends, so I'd recommend booking ahead. Overall, it's a solid indoor family spot -- especially during colder months -- and we'd definitely come back again!

I have been here a million times to have drinks in the bar and eat dinner though. The bartenders are friendly and funny and quick with your drinks. The food is great. The owner is Italian and makes one of the best white pizzas that I have ever had....and the regular pizzas are great too! If you don't feel like ordering a whole pizza, you can get bar food (including the awesome fries). Everyone that works here is friendly and helpful and it's a nice environment to come hang out in - - and it's family friendly! My daughter bowls here every time that we are in town and my nieces and nephews bowl here regularly. Overall - wonderful, family-friendly environment with good food and a good atmosphere. Oh, and you can order food for take-out now!!! (:
