    ALL BEEF HOT DOG
    Genevere S.

    Was out having a girls day and went in for a drink. As you walk in it's very nicely decorated and spacious. The bowling areas looked fun. We went to the bar area and our bartender Bunny was AMAZING!!! Super friendly and attentive. I had the Martini special which is probably the best deal I the area. Tried the porn star and French bowler both were very good! One was sweeter than the other but were good sweetness to alcohol ratio. Also had mini pretzels and all beef hot dog. Both were good and portion was on point! We had one of the employees ask if we wanted to try a new drink they were testing and it was delicious! I believe it was pineapple and tequila with something else I can let remember. But it was so good, hope it makes it on the menu for the next time I visit!

    I really enjoyed Primrose Lanes. I was invited here for a Galentine Night out for Karaoke. This was my first time here so I was excited . This place has a nice ambiance. The bowling area isn't huge which I love. They have more than one bar & you can rent the karaoke room for 2 hour increments. My friend booked the room from 8pm-10pm. She was also able to decorate. We had so much fun. The food and drinks were delicious. They have HH and daily drink specials . You cannot mix and match so I decided for drinks to order the pornstar martini which was 2 for $20 instead of one for $14 . For food I ordered the chicken Cesar salad wrap which came with fries. The pornstar drink was def strong so I didn't need ANYMORE. The wrap. Is huge so I ate the fries and one 1/2 of the wrap and took the rest to go. I also tried my friends wings they were just ok ( I would have liked the wings fried harder) . I also had mozzarella sticks & spinach & artichoke dip. The customer service was great there was always someone checking on us and taking new orders . We had such a great time , I will def be back for bowling.

    Love that there is parking close by. We popped in to check it out after a coffee date on a Saturday. First things first, it's not a big place and if you don't have a reservation for a lane, it will be tough for you to bowl. We opted instead to play darts and take advantage of their martini special (2 for $20 I think it was?). The drink was boozy and tasty. All the games, photo booths, etc. are pay to play which is expected. We played a few rounds of darts which was super fun! They do have a karaoke room that was complete with costumes. I will definitely have to do that at some point. I feel like this place gets busy and is often booked for corporate events. I tried to reserve a couple of lanes for my birthday in December and they had no availability for the times. When I called they had a buyout. So the key learning is RESERVE RESERVE RESERVE!

    Primrose Lanes provides a space that connects a community. Perfect atmosphere for bowling, inline skating, games, and drinks. Bonus if you attend Monday or during happy hour for their special prices deals!

    I love this place! It's catty corner to Festival Park. This is my 2nd time in after an event at the park. Jason, one of the managers, was great, and gave us a full tour the first time around. He also told us a bit about the history of the place. It dates back to the 50s as Colonial Lanes. It is much smaller than it was previously but 8 of the lanes are original. The wood for the bar was made out.of a couple of the original lanes. The whole bar overlooking the bowling lanes. They also offer a karaoke room for rent. The outside is very retro looking and I was surprised by the ambiance and decor inside. Although it is retro inside, there are many modern aspects to it. I was expecting a smoke filled place but it is so clean with not a hint of cigarette smells. They offer food and drink. Ive tried their burgers and the dry rubbed wings. Both were excellent. The wings were crispy and served with a delicious blue cheese. The burger was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. They offer a full bar. Martinis are 2 for $20 and the bartenders are awesome and very personable. Bunny took great care of us the first time around. We didn't get a chance to see her tonight but the male bartender there was also very good. If you are near the Milk District, trust me on this, just stop in.

    The food and drinks aren't bad here. The HH menu also is from 3-6pm on weekdays, which offers 50% their cocktails. I got the purple gin (not too sweet) and the margaritas. Also tried the martinis: espresso is good and strong (could use more espresso flavor but that's my preference), dirty (way too much brine for me), and french bowler (sweet and fruity). I got the chicken Caesar wrap which was decent, and the burger was decent too. Sweet potato waffles and shoestring fries were all good. Potato skins are a little different in using pimento cheese and pepper jelly - I liked it. They also have a karaoke room inside as well that we tried and had fun in.

    They've got some janky junkie lanes that needs to be restored. Got the worst end lane where a lot of the wood has been beat up and chunks of it were missing Seems like they put in money for their multiple bars and game areas because it did look cool but I thought this was going to be a upscale bowling alley The lane had issues 3 times during the hour which ate up the hourly charge. The pins wouldn't get counted correctly on the scoreboard and kept putting the wrong amount of pins for the next throw or restarting with the incorrect amount of pins. Had to wait for help also but they needed to see it happen in action but it stopped messing up once that happened, of course Also the shoes were terrible, no slip and slide action so I got stuck and almost face planted on my first throw. The 2nd pair were a little better but not much. Lighter balls were hard to find and didn't seem to be much available which made us stuck having to share the lighter balls with the neighboring customers I can see how people can be attracted to their 2 for 1 martinis deal & the Sunday and Monday $10 per person, per hour bowling deal but this place needs to fix their lanes up. I would look for other places for decent bowling instead of here. This was a terrible experience and would not come back for bowling here

    I visited Primrose Lanes with a group of 4 on a Wednesday night. Originally we had planned to visit a different local bowling spot but alas, it was league night! Primrose Lanes felt a little expensive (disclaimer: I am by no means an expert on average bowling prices in the year 2025), but it was a fun vibe and the staff was nice. At our reserved lane, the food and beverage service was excellent, the cocktails we had were great and the food was good. One thing I will say is that most of the food is finger food, which is a little awkward when you have a limited amount of time to bowl and you have to switch between handling a greasy ball and greasy food. Next time I would skip the food for that reason alone--but would be nice to see them add more snacks that require a fork to mitigate the problem. If I were more into bowling, I would most likely return! Since I'm more of a candlepin bowler, I might stop by the bar for a drink sometime instead.

    A quick little b-day celebration before I leave for my trip. Me and the girls took a quick stop at Primrose and I usually enjoy all of their happy hour options for cocktails. The porn star is obviously my favorite. I really did enjoy the wings the Caesar salad, the onion rings, but I was not a true fan of the spinach artichoke dip. It just didn't taste that great. But I love how there's lounge areas it's spacious. You can watch the game on the TV is there there's also a karaoke room that you can dress up and bowling lanes.

    Old Fashioned and Watermelon Margarita
    Luke B.

    I was really looking forward to coming here ever since they opened. My wife and I decided to come on a Monday for happy hour. Some company was having their work happy hour in the front room, so It was pretty busy and we sat at the bigger bar next to the lanes. The whole place looked really nice, definitely a cooler vibe for a bowling alley. Happy hour has $5 off cocktails, so we ordered a Watermelon Margarita and an Old Fashioned. This is where things kinda fell off. The watermelon margarita looked and tasted like a regular margarita. When we asked the bartender if it was the right drink, she simply said yeah and walked away. I'm sure she gets this question all the time, but where's the explanation? So now we're sitting there left to wonder if Primrose Lanes uses a watermelon tequila or perhaps a fresh watermelon juice, both of which presumably would look and taste like watermelon, or if the bartender was trained to make it wrong in the first place. Also, my old fashioned was light on alcohol. Regardless, we were hungry, so we ordered the Potato Skins with pimento cheese and pepper jelly. Pretty good, I've never had skins like this; almost like a southern deviled egg style. They're extremely rich, so I would definitely share with 3 friends. When it came time to order a second round, the bartender never came back. We saw her making cocktails for the big work party, so we waited. And waited. Eventually, we decided to forgo the second round and go to another bar. I flagged her down once she looked in our direction (the only people at the bar btw) and we tabbed out. I could definitely see myself coming back here for a work event/happy hour with bowling, but for drinks and a hang, I'll probably head to one of the other TMG spots.

    My review from before still stands (though they no longer do $1 oysters -- RIP)! Primrose still serves good food, good vibes, and good times! I booked my husband's birthday here for bowling and we had a great time. I actually loved that they had more limited bowling lanes because it felt more intimate and vibey. They're always doing fun events! If you're a Love Island fan, they do watch parties -- which is always a great time.

    Cris R.

    Primose Lanes is definitely a hangout spot. From the outside, it doesnt look like much. As soon as you walk into this place, you notice a restaurant off to the side on the left, an arcade and full service bar to the right, and bowling lanes towards the front. The drinks are amazing and the food even more so. Our Bartender, Bunny, was great as she kept us talking and entertained with games such as chess, Uno, dominoes, and Jenga. This is such a chill spot, perfect to catch a Super Bowl game with friends with their large televisions.

    Thomas B.

    Great experience for Valentine's Day, full bar and food options available! Highly recommend to come with a group of friends or with your partner. Other fun games available both inside and outside as well. The servers come to your lane and offer refreshments regularly. Overall well worth a visit!

There's a giant ice cube and a bamboo leaf or something and very little drink to drink. Not sure what to make of this because as soon as I was deciding if I liked it or not, it was gone. Wouldn't order this again. Second, I tried a $17 Adam & Eve. I wish the matcha was much stronger. There's a place in Tampa called Tori Bar that has a super duper matcha tasting cocktail. This one was much lighter. It was fine, not my favorite. Maybe I'd bring a date here sometime, but wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

We also ordered the croquettes, Caesar salad bites, 12 oysters, the spicy rigatoni with lump crab, golden rice with shrimp, and a discounted prosecco because it was oyster/prosecco Tuesday. The pasta itself was cooked properly, and the golden rice ended up being the least salty thing we ate, which unfortunately made it the standout. Everything else tasted as though the kitchen had recently suffered a tragic misunderstanding involving seawater. At one point we asked if the music was usually this loud because we genuinely couldn't hear each other speak. Our server kindly said she would check on it, but either management said no or the DJ entered a blood oath with the sound system. Conversation had become theoretical. Maybe this is the vibe now. Maybe dining is no longer about the food and meaningful conversation, with lighting so oddly bright--less intimate dinner, more "the club is closing, please locate your belongings"--while paying $220 for two people with automatic gratuity included. For me, the whole experience felt wildly overpriced--ordinary food dressed in extraordinary.
