    a young girl in a bowling alley
    Crystal H.

    As far as bowling alley goes, this is probably one of the older ones. The lane kept getting stuck. The balls kept getting stuck. Bowling alley food is usually delicious greasy cheat day yummyness... the pizzas didnt taste horrible, but they took forever! The bathrooms were clean, but outdated. We didn't even get to finish one game because the machine for the pins kept getting stuck and the person was in no hurry to fix it.

    Crowded, money pit. Overall we did have a good time. We were able to walk from one game to another…read moreand not feel like people were all over us. Can be expensive especially on your first visit. They have a lot to offer with games, bowling and food. It was a little dirty, but giving the nature of the activity it's a little understandable. The location is pretty convenient. Lots of stores, hotels and eateries around. Parking is plentiful.

    I'm writing regarding an extremely disappointing experience we recently had at your establishment…read more Unfortunately, the level of customer service and professionalism we received was unacceptable from start to finish. We were charged for an extra hour of pool even though the area was completely empty except for us, and not one employee informed us that our time was ending or had already expired. Every other billiards establishment we've been to gives customers some kind of warning or reminder before charging another full hour, especially when staff are literally standing around and the place is not busy. Instead, it felt like the employees simply allowed the clock to continue running so we could be charged more money. The male employee working the front counter around 10 PM 5/18 who were responsible for billiards seriously need better training and need to pay closer attention to the times assigned to customers. It came across as careless, irresponsible, and honestly felt intentionally overlooked just to squeeze extra money out of us. Customers should not have to constantly monitor the establishment's timing system themselves while employees fail to do their jobs properly. On top of that, we were also overcharged for drinks due to another staff mistake. We ordered one drink, yet the bartender made two. Before the drinks were even handed to us, we clarified the mistake, but instead of correcting the order, we were told that "refunds aren't allowed" and still charged anyway for something we did not ask for and never intended to purchase. Charging customers for an employee's mistake is unacceptable. Between the lack of communication, poor attention from staff, refusal to correct obvious errors, and overall unprofessional handling of the situation, this experience completely ruined our night. It's frustrating to spend hard-earned money somewhere that clearly does not value fairness or customer satisfaction when there are plenty of other places nearby that are cheaper, more organized, and actually respect their customers enough to communicate properly. I would appreciate this situation being taken seriously and reviewed by management. At minimum, I believe compensation is warranted for the extra hour charge and the incorrect drink charges, considering both issues resulted directly from employee negligence and poor service. As it stands now, we do not plan on returning, and I would be very hesitant to recommend your establishment to anyone else unless this situation is appropriately addressed.

    BEER IS TOO EXPENSIVE - it's a bowling ally for fucks sake. We are in a beer and pizza league…read more Four player teams. For $20 per person each week we bowl 2 games and get a pitcher (4 people for one pitcher) it also includes a large two topping pizza. We were told no league games on holiday weeks. Then, they decide to bowl anyway the week of Thanksgiving. Our team missed the bowl due to holiday plans. We were told we could come make up the games another day. We go in Sunday, pay our $80 and are told no pizza since it's a make up day. THIS IS SUCH BULLSHIT if you want to piss your loyal customers off then so be it! The new owners have JACKED THE PRICES WAY UP who wants to pay $17 per pitcher and $5 per beer? This is a freaking shitty ass bowling ally struggling for business. No happy hours, food quality has gone down, I'm sure they pay their employees shit for wage but want their loyal customers to over pay while they under deliver? Seriously for our last league night there was ONE employee in the entire place. The "cook" quit the week before and the bartender didn't show up. The new owners need to get their shit together and stop ruining what used to be an awesome place.

    Great bowling alley in the Dayton area. Guy at the counter was super helpful and friendly. Entire…read moreplace was clean and staff was walking around cleaning while we were there.
