This bowling alley is definitely more than just a bowling alley! There is also an arcade, a skating rink, several other activities, and a sports bar! We came in and had some food in the sports bar first. I got the spinach artichoke dip and it was super creamy and tasty. The chips were also very crunchy and fresh. The food was a little pricey but expected for this type of place. We then went over to the bowling alley and it was really nice! You pay per hour (again a little pricey but not anything crazy) and the lanes have a really cool look to them. The staff was friendly and the place was pretty clean.
This was my first time at primrose and immediately saw there was a lot to do here and it's very aesthetic. They have two different bars in the main area, bowling lanes, arcades, and a skating rink. We had a reservation for a bowling lane and have sufficient bowling balls. Unfortunately, it seems as though the lanes themselves are on a slope and veer toward one direction so we had to start accounting for that. Secondly, the computer kept miscalculating points throughout the night which took time away from our game time. We tried different food and drink items. I'm partial to skinny fries so I enjoyed that. The crispy onions were a little burnt but the drinks were all enjoyable and there's a few specials you can find on their menu. The staff were friendly and checked on us throughout our stay to ensure we were good on drinks and food.
A group of 6 of us went to Primrose for a Love Island watch party and had the best time! The food was delicious, the service was attentive, the sports lounge was comfortable and built for entertainment. The TV stacks were like a mini sportsbook, with booths along the back and comfortable stadium style seats on the floor. The room was packed for the event, and the food and drinks were fresh and prompt. The seasoning on the fries was amazing, and the steak sandwich was perfectly tender (with the sauce on the side so no soggy bun!).
Primrose Lanes has a great vibe with friendly, attentive staff that make it easy to have a good time. Drinks were strong and tasted great Karaoke room was a lot of fun Food platters were really good and easy to share Chill vibe, good for groups Everyone had a great time, would go back
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!
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 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.
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.
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.

The food and cocktails were VERY good but we had three things we struggled with. We're pescatarian so at least one seafood option would be great, we could only get an app because of it. There were no local beer options and it seems like something you'd expect of a local spot. And the strobe lights! So bad in the bar area to the left, I get it for the lanes but it actually stopped our conversations multiple times and feels unnecessary. Otherwise GREAT. read more

All around 5 stars! I had so much fun! To the service, food, and drinks! Be sure to make reservations. The cool thing about this place is that if you make a strike when a red or red/gold pin is in front and center, you get a free shot! All you have to do is tell a staff member know. I happen to make a few strikes when this was true! :)) read more
Large area with shuffle board, some board games, and bowling. Lots of TVs to watch sports. Good music and good specials. A bucket of domestic is $20 and they have a 2 for $20 drink special but the drinks needs to be the same. I enjoy sitting in the swivel chair in front of the TVs in the front. Service was great and quick. I would most definitely come back! read more
I had no idea what to expect when my mother told me she made us a reservation here right before Christmas. Man, I was pleasantly surprised! Such a cute and unique place in Orlando that I somehow had never heard of before. It's not a huge bowling alley -- think restaurant & bar with some lanes in the back. Honestly I thought it was a pretty perfect size and for a fun and different dinner & bowling experience I really enjoyed this. Our server was amazing and we had excellent service with our drinks, food and bowling experiences. We bowled for an hour and finished the game with a couple minutes to spare (there were 5 of us) and we really had a great time. Get the reposado espresso martini -- trust me. It's DELISH. read more
We decided to come on a Friday night and it wasn't too crazy. The bowling was all booked but that's ok because we were there to eat mainly anyway. The food was sooooo good. We got the chicken tendies, the smash burger, and the chicken Caesar. No notes. It tastes like they make all their sauces and the hard work pays off. I wanted to take them home. The chicken Caesar was very light and it can be made vegetarian(maybe vegan) as well. I love childish food so this place was pure bliss for me. Danielle, Janirah, Jose, and pretty much any staff member I came in contact with were all so kind. I will definitely be back especially for the funfetti cake. They do a thing called primrose after dark and there was a live DJ too! The place is surprisingly bigger than I expected. We didn't stay to party but it looked like a good time. Can't wait to come back read more

I was finally able to make my way out to the renovated Primrose Lanes! This place is on the small side compared to other bowling alleys I've been to but that takes nothing away from the experience! We did a walk in which we figured on a Sunday it'd be pretty slow but it was surprisingly packed! We were able to get in a good hour of bowling and enjoyed some drinks during to help us step up our game! Once we finished bowling we sat over in their celebrity area that had tvs with all different sporting events on! For our food we decided to order a bunch of appetizers. We went with the shoestring fries, smoked wings, Funyun fried onions (my favorite), and chicken tendies! Everything was well seasoned and super tasty! We thought we might not be able to finish it all but I felt like the dishes were well portioned so we did end up clearing all the plates. I could see this being a place where people come together with friends or even birthday parities. It's got a great vibe and great food to go along with it. I'll definitely be back again! read more
We went on a Monday afternoon and had a great time. We were one of few bowling which was good since there's only 8 lanes. Told by the nice server that they are known for their burger and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks are amazing. Perfect amount of cheese and crunch! The burger was a smash burger that had a lot of onions on it. A little too much on the onion side. Shoe string fries were good. It was also $1 wing day so we got 6 buffalo wings. For some reason it tasted like lemon so we sent them back. Bowling was fun and cheap on Mondays it's $5. $15 for two with shoes for an hour. They also had 2 for $20 martinis which both were were great. Espresso and porn star martini. Def will come back again for the vintage but elevated bowling vibes. read more

Soooooo! Mixed feelings about this place. Wasn't expecting it to be so small. There aren't many lanes the bar/dining area takes up most of the space here. So if you do plan on going and if you have a party of four or more make reservations online so you're not stuck waiting for a long time. Unfortunately if you have a party less than four you cannot make reservations and it's a first come first serve basis. Pricing isn't bad here- average. Cheaper than kings- I believe. There aren't many options for food but we did try out two things which we did enjoy. I did enjoy the potato skins! If you're coming here to bowl: prices are average but it's small and there's a chance of a long wait time due to that reason If you're here to dine and drink: look at the menu beforehand good thing....the drink menu has many options read more

This is a bit of a late review, but I went on a double date here when the US olympic trials were going on, so luckily there wasn't too many people during the time we went. We were able to enjoy our food and bowling without feeling rushed. Reserving the lanes online was really easy and the staff were very attentive to making sure we had what we needed. The ambiance felt intimate and private since there wasn't anyone around us, with the exception of a solo bowler a couple lanes over. The lighting and disco ball definitely added to the fun vibe! The exposed mechanics were definitely cool to see, since regular bowling alleys cover everything. But it definitely added to the industrial aesthetics of the place. It is a bit on the pricier side, so my rating would be more of a 4.5 stars, but the food was pretty good overall. We shared an alley platter, which included street corn dip, potato skins, chicken tenders, mini dogs, and mini burgers. My favorite was the chicken tendies. I didn't get to try their famous hot dog, but it'll definitely be on my to-try list for next time! There's also plenty of seating so I'd definitely come again with more friends! read more

I was so excited to try this place out because of all the hype I heard. The restaurant is well themed and created a fun atmosphere for people to bowl and hang out. Now if you're only here to have dinner, you may find yourself yelling at your guests to hear each other conversation so keep that in mind if you're not a fan of loud environment. The drinks were fantastic, everything we had was amazing: purple southside, pornstar, lemongrass mule. Well balanced and not shy with alcohol content. Also, HAPPY HOUR IS FIRE here! Monday - Friday 4 pm - 6 pm: Half-off all cocktails (including martinis), beer & wine. So you essentially get 2 drinks for a price of 1! The food was delicious. I ordered half dozen oysters for $18, they were great but not budget friendly. I also tried the home made hot dog I heard so much about. I can taste the quality and the fact that it's home made for sure, everything from the hot dog, the roll, the toppings. And the shoestrings fries stole the show, it was so crispy and well seasoned, so addicting! Overall a great dish, but for the price of $15. I know people debate about it being pricey and I have to say that for me personally I'm glad I tried it once but probably won't order it again for $15. If it was more like $12 then maybe. I do appreciate the fact the it's home made and much for effort, but since hot dog isn't my most favorite dish in the world I don't want to spend too much money on it. As for parking, I'm someone who's always anxious about parking at new places. There are on site parking lot for about 20ish spaces but that was completely filled up when I went around 5 pm on Friday. Fortunately they have overflow parking across the street after 5 pm with plenty more parking spaces so no issue there! Overall I'd come back next time to bowl and order some great drinks and shoestrings fries, but not for a nice dinner with conversation with friends. read more

We had a bowling night for our firm at Primrose and had a good experience. The staff were super helpful and attentive. The party ambiance is so fun. The food and drinks are amazing. We loved the platter options. The chicken tenders, soft pretzel bites, cauliflower, potato skins, and spinach dip was delicious. They have an amazing happy hour and we loved the drinks. I got a gin drink and an espresso martini and both were delicious. Overall, this is a great luxury bowling experience! read more

Great staff, comfortable atmosphere and outstanding food. Unfortunately due to some company events, we were not able to do any bowling so we decided to grab some food and catch up over drinks. Ordered several appetizers for the table to share and tried some new mixed drinks. Very happy with everything and we all had a great experience. read more
We had a work event at Primrose Lanes and let me tell you, it was one of the best locations we have been to. We bowled for an hour and they had multiple servers come up to ask if we needed anything food or drink wise. We stuck to water for most of the game. Then we were able to move to the tables in the dining/bar area and we ordered lunch. Again, the servers were attentive and quick to ensure we had what we needed. I ordered the Roasted Chicken Sandwich which was so fresh and delicious! I was able to east half and save the other half for lunch the next day. It was still as fresh and delicious then! The lanes have disco balls creating and fun low light atmosphere and the individual/group seats near the lanes were clean and comfortable. I will definitely be back for a game sometime soon. :) read more
I love how they renovated this space. This is not a bowling alley. It is a restaurant with a small bowling alley. The group behind the Wellborn, the Robinson , etc keep killing it with cool theme places with the most beautiful decor. The food here is 10/10. I had the hot dog, chicken tendies, crab cake balls, hash brown bites. Everything was delicious. This is definitely a great spot to get good eats, good drinks, and take some nice pics. I will be back again and again. read more
Checked out Primrose Lanes for the first time for brunch and it is SO cute! The decor and theming are so well done, and they have done a lot to preserve the history of the old bowling alley. Even the tables and bar top are made of former bowling lanes! We went around 11:30am on a Saturday and left around 1:30pm; the dining area stayed relatively quiet that whole time although I believe all of the bowling lanes (there aren't many) were filled up. The hash brown bites and frittata were soooo good. I definitely would like to come back again to check out other food options. We also really enjoyed the cocktails - the Big Ern is my recommendation if you like mezcal. I thought they were all fairly strong with great flavor! The service was excellent; our server was so helpful and knowledgeable of the menu and super friendly. She also mentioned it is a whole club-like vibe at night with disco balls, music, etc. I'm not sure if that will be my scene but definitely looking forward to coming back and bowling sometime! read more
There was a post in an Orlando foodie group complaining about the hot dog from Primrose Lane being $15, I ran after work to try it because I wanted to be able to defend a new local business and have actually tried it to confirm. Verdict: This. Hot dog. Is. FIRE! Hands down, the best hot dog I had in my life. I didn't bowl but just dined in for dinner, and loved it. The atmosphere was lively and fun. I absolutely loved the decor, with the repurposed bowling lanes as tables and the fun facts about Orlando on the wall. The hot dog is truly crafted to perfection, made out of short rib and rib eye. The brioche bun was even good enough to eat by itself! And the mustard and relish- so good. Let's not forget about the pickle spear; the best combo of sweet, and a hint of spiciness. We also had the tuna tartare. I've had many good and bad ones in my life. This one was 9/10 for me. It left me wanting more after I was done since the portion is kind of small. Award winning Chef Jason did a great job creating a masterpiece out of something so common and regular. I saw him walking around saying hi to some tables too. Awesome. The espresso and "porn star" martini were both delicious. I would've had a few if it wasn't a work night. Keep in mind, this is a restaurant and cocktail bar WITH a bowling alley. Not the other way around. The reason why the bowling alley is still there is an ode and also themed to the history of Colonial Lanes. It originally had 32 lanes but the previous owners knocked them down but kept 8. Loved it. Can't wait to go back. read more
Amazing vibes and such a cute place! An elevated bowling alley with incredible food and drink selection. The service was also impeccable. A cafe, bowling shop, sit down dining and of course the bowling alley. This is a historical bowling alley from 1950 that has been refurbished and I like that they kept a lot of the historical features including incorporating the old bowling pins, balls and old wood from the lanes that couldn't be salvaged into the host bar top. Only a few notes, the pricing is at the high end so I would say this isn't really an affordable place to take the whole family. There are only 8 bowling lanes, so it can be challenging to get a lane especially if you have a large party. In addition, the pricing for bowling is per person as opposed to a flat rate for the lane as is traditional with other bowling places. read more

Upon arrival parking was easy to find, the team was very welcoming. The decor is truly breathtaking when you walk in the renovation is complete well thought out. My only suggestion would be to add more tvs in the dinning area especially for football season. The food was okay in my opinion I went for the hot dog . Someone said the burger was great I'll order that next time. The chicken tenders lack season in my opinion , they were big and fat a little on the dry side I believe because they were so thick so they wanted to ensure they cooked it through. Which I understand completely the price of the hot dog was about 15. Their drinks were weak in my opinion I order the mule taste like ginger only. I also ordered the pronstar which came with a shot the drinks range about 12-18 bucks. Nonetheless I will be back to actually bowl as I went there for the dining experience. It is a whole vibe at night with the music going and the disco lights. read more

I used to be a regular here and lovedddd their chicken tendies and their service.... They lowered the quality of the chicken tendies, which is crazy because they WERE AMAZING.. And our bartender was a tall dirty blonde girl who didn't even look or talk to us. We had to keep calling her over to order anything. We were so confused until we got the bill and realized that the gratuity (tip) is 17%, already included and split amongst the staff... No wonder.. Tho I have to say, the manager Danny and the other girl there were both super nice. There's more details I can give but overall it's not what it used to be. Me and my friends don't care to come back anymore. read more
Finally got to try the famous hot dog - And it did NOT disappoint! I've been wanting to make my way here for a while now and finally caved in passing by on my way home from the gym. Popped in on a Friday at around 2pm and it was pretty much dead - We were the only 2 people in the restaurant area (there were a few parties bowling). Huge fan of the vibe/decor inside. Very upscale and vintage-feeling but with a modern twist. The bowling pin archway is stunning and a genius design! Michaela (hope I'm spelling her name right) was so sweet and helpful. She was so informative about their entire menu and answered our questions regarding the bowling alley rates that there was some confusion over. She was very friendly and attentive! The hot dog is worth every penny of the $15 price tag and it came with a generous portion of shoe string fries. The flavor was out of this world and the bun was so delicious as well. I was able to customize the toppings and added sautéed onions - Order them to top your hot dog and thank me later. Overall we were very impressed with our entire experience at Primrose. We will certainly be returning soon to bowl, sample more menu items & check out their cocktails! read more

We went bowling on Monday when they have $1 wings and $5 bowling. The wings (and the spinach artichoke dip) were sooooo yummy. We got the dry rub sweet heat wings and they're honestly some of the best wings i've ever had. We ordered 10 at first and then ordered 5 more because we needed more. You can order with a server but we just ordered through their QR code on their table but all the employees were really nice. The food came quickly and it was very hot. We then bowled for an hour and it was so fun. They play music and have cool lights while you're bowling which gives it a nice comfy vibe. I highly recommend going! read more
We had lunch here the other day and we both loved it. There's plenty of parking all around and not too busy during the day for lunch hours. The staff is friendly and greets you right away upon entering. Inside the decorations are really cool with a modern old school bowling alley vibe. We both decided to get the house made hot dog with string fries and we were not disappointed. You can customize them a little bit and we both got caramelized onions on them. The flavor is so good and obviously the portion size is huge. Unfortunately we didn't have time to bowl but we're so going back to and can't wait! read more
Primrose is a local bowling alley/bar & restaurant in the Orlando area Think of this as an elevated more upscale bowling experience rather than a typical bowling alley. When you walk in you're greeted to some bright vibrant colors. The artwork and displays all have a very modern aesthetic to it. They've got a restaurant to the left where you can dine at if you aren't interested in bowling. They've also got a full bar at the restaurant as well as at the bowling alley section. They've even got a section with multiple TV's where you can watch whatever sports game you're interested in. As for the bowling alley, it's of a bit darker vibe but with lights illuminating throughout to keep it bright enough. All the lights and interior are very modern and in my opinion this comes off as a great date night spot. I'd say this would be better reserved for a date night compared to a family night due to the more upscale mature feel. I'd imagine the price could rack up a bit if you bring a larger party here as well. The bowling experience went well, we reserved a station the day before so as soon as we got there we got bowling shoes and then our lane was ready for us, this all went pretty smooth. You can also tell the lanes are pretty new. For food we got some chicken tenders, buffalo wings, and shoestring fries. Buffalo wings were cooked well and came with a homemade ranch that paired well with it The chicken tenders were a bit different with a breading that was similar to panko, these weren't my favorite but they were crispy and came with a homemade buffalo sauce and a homemade ranch sauce. The shoestring fries were good, very crispy and seasoned well and it was displayed very well. The bottom line, I'd recommend Primrose, it's an elevated bowling experience due to the more upscale environment compared to a typical bowling alley. The food here is good and definitely a step up from typical bowling alley food, you can tell these are made fresh and with some care. The bars also make this this a great spot to come to and enjoy a drink and watch the game even if you aren't interested in bowling. read more
I've been to Primrose when they first opened, but some things have changed. They removed some of the seating to add arcade games, which I think complements the bowling alley nicely. My boyfriend and I usually go out on Tuesdays for date night, but we rescheduled and went on Monday. We had an okay experience overall. The wings were my favorite, and while the hot dog was good, it wasn't anything special aside from the toasty bread. What I didn't like most was the service. You scan a QR code to order, but we had to ask for everything else like silverware, plates, and to-go boxes. No one ever checked in on us. I hope to try it again and hopefully have a better experience. read more

Primrose Lanes offers such a vibrant atmosphere, complemented by a selection of quality drinks and a diverse food menu. Loved the vibe, staff, and their hot dog was amazing. read more
I went here with a group of friends to bowl for an hour. I loved the entire vibe, the place is extremely clean and staff are friendly. The bar is extensive and they make craft cocktails. Food can be ordered as well, looks like it is mostly bar food which fits well for the atmosphere. read more

Went on a monday night which is when they have their $5 bowling special. It was busy but we still had attentive servers. Food is a tad pricey but has been consistent across many visits! They also have a discount on mondays for service workers. Cant go wrong with their 2 for $20 martinis read more
I have been to Primrose lanes three times, the first two were such a good time mainly just a party & bowl, and third time I went on a Monday for $1 wing night. While the wings were less than average, the fries and the soft serve were amazing. Our server Payton R was also super helpful and friendly, loved her energy! We will be back for sure. read more

We've been wanting to try Primrose Lanes for a while so I decided to surprise my bf and have his birthday gathering there. First of all, huge shout out to Tim Parsons. He was responsive to my questions via email and helped me correct a mistake I made when booking the time. Super friendly and great customer service right off the bat! Service was great while there as well. The person checking us in for bowling kindly refunded me for one person who wasn't able to attend due to illness which was nice. Our servers for drinks and food were also awesome. The decorating and theming here is really cool. The lighting at the lanes isn't the best for beautiful food pics, so trust me when I say the food looked even better in person! They have couches behind the lane with water set up and tables for food. The only downfall is that the tables are kind of small if every one is eating, so if someone is using them across from you, it's kind of hard to have everyone's plates on your side and sit to eat. It didn't end up being a big deal for us; we had five people and no one was using the other half of the table, but just something to keep in mind. The food was very good. Between all of us we ordered the infamous hot dog (one person got it regular and my bf and I shared the chili cheese version and added fries), shells and cheese, hash brown bites, tuna tartare, and the crispy chicken sandwich. Starting with the hot dog, it is very good and higher quality than your standard dog. It's also huge and I enjoyed the fresh bun. I don't mind the price point, but I wouldn't say it's the best hot dog ever, but worth trying and good. The shells and cheese were ridiculously good. The sauce was rich and creamy. All of us loved it. The hash brown bites were another winner, very unique and tasty. The tuna tartare was delicious and I tried a bite of the chicken sandwich and it had a great mix of flavors. The fries were another happy surprise; I usually don't care much for fries, but these were crispy and well seasoned and we all enjoyed them. So in my opinion, the food overall lives up to the good things I've heard! The bowling was fun and well organized. We all had a really good time and no technical issues during our two hour session. With five people, we almost finished two games which we could have honestly completed, but we were kind of pokey with eating and stepping away at times so realistically you can finish two games in this time if you keep up the pace. Overall, I enjoyed the experience here and the birthday boy was happy as well. I'll definitely return! read more
This place was really nice! I like the ambiance a lot and it looks modern. I wasn't the biggest fan of the lanes since they were a bit smaller than bowlero's/AMF but it wasn't awful. We did have a really good time and we would probably come back. The bar was neat and they showed the football game (chiefs v bills). Everyone working there was friendly. Overall it was a good time. Would recommend for an event or just to hang with friends/family. read more
Nice atmosphere. Plenty of seating and it was not too busy on a Saturday afternoon. This is a late review. I had the wings and corn ribs. They were both great. I loved the seasoning on the wings and corn. Unfortunately the corn ribs are no longer on the menu. I was there Super Bowl weekend and the corn is gone now. I think they added a street corn dip. Hopefully they bring the corn ribs back. read more

A huge secret, ladies they have the tennis games playing and the cleanest bathrooms Family and adult friendly! This is a place to be in the summer! It was so much fun to be in a place the kids could be themselves, and the adults could enjoy a little summer fun as well I can not believe I didn't know about their happy hour until 6 p.m. half off beer, wine, cocktails, and 2 for $20 martinis all day every day. It's sexy, it's fun, and it's clean. I went on a Thursday afternoon and there was the perfect ambiance for a fun afternoon with the kids or date day with your honey. I got the tequila grapefruit cocktail, delicious and the mini pretzel bites also some of the best pretzel bites I've ever had. They have a special until 5 p.m. for bowling you save some $$ bucks, then we got their very delicious root beer float and played their games outside. I know they are crazy busy all of the time, I don't know how they do it, but they keep their grounds so clean. No trash or cigarette butts in sight. I am excited to go back and enjoy a full menu and a cute seat at the bar for a game. read more

What seems to be an older bowling alley from the exterior is surprisingly inviting once you enter to find a vibrant group event space that includes not only bowling but a full bar and seating area for dining that is modern compared to older establishments. I was helped by bartender Mikhayla, who was a great host and held a great conversation with all of her patrons. She was able to recommend a very delicious cocktail called the army navy that I recommend someone when they arrive. I did try the double Smashburger, which was adequate considering where you're getting food from. Space looks like it has opportunities for hosting large groups and parties with certain enclosed spaces that you can reserve. It was not too loud for a Thursday night, but I'm sure with more people there. The ambience would change significantly. We did not bowl, but it does look fun and inviting and groups were enjoying, the amenity. read more
I've never came here to bowl, but one day...lol. While it's a bowling alley there are two large bar areas with quality food and drink options....emphasis on quality. Blue crab fingers are a fave...I like the overall atmosphere; family friendly if you need that, but still very "adultish":..happy medium. read more
