    Bowling
    Jonathan V.

    For a lot of bowling places it's very basic, however Windsor locks new renovation a couple years ago still is rocking. They have a fair amount of lanes to use with cool lights and an arcade that's more than enough to choose from. Got a few drinks and had a great time for the $12 bowling and shoe rental.

    The old tired Bradley Bowl has been replaced by a spiffy new version under the banner of Spare Time Entertainment. Their website lists seventeen Spare Time locations between Maine and Alabama. About fifteen of us were there last evening to unwind and check out the place. What a striking transformation we saw. The number of bowling lanes have been dramatically reduced, and that new floor-space has been filled with a lot of ways for you to spend some time and some money without even tossing a gutter ball. They have a very large arcade area that sure reminded me of Dave and Busters, or even Las Vegas with all of the neon and bright lights. They have Laser Tag and Escape Rooms and VIP rooms for Private events and parties. They also have a super nice lounge, that feels more like a pub than a bowling alley bar. Seriously, this was very nice. The beers were reasonably priced, and the food menu was pretty darned big. I ordered a 12-piece order of BBQ wings ($15) and an order of Cowboy Tater Tots ($8) to share with my side of the table, and I have to tell you the food looked great and tasted great. So even if you despise bowling you can still spend a very nice time here with multiple entertainment and food and drink options. A solid four stars for sure.

    When I heard my husband's holiday party was at a bowling alley, I pictured skeezy and rundown. Boy was I surprised to pull up to a newly renovated, modern looking place! The holiday party was held in the Elite Suite. It was catered with apps which were tasty and about average bar food. It would definitely make a great space for a birthday party or family reunion. They have TVs you can hook up video systems to (bring your own) to have a Mario Kart Tourney at the same time. Bar service was sort of slow and service, as mentioned in other posts, is the reason for 4 stars and not five. Bar prices were also semi expensive for a bowling hour....not sure if they have happy hours or specials but would hope they do. Everything was clean though, which I would expect as it's recently remodeled. It's a great use of space and a fun place for all ages and a variety of activities.

    Very nice. Plenty of things to do for the family. Kids enjoyed the laser tag. Not too crowded when we went. Staff was friendly.

    We tried this place on a whim after dropping something off at my daughter's home in Suffield. We…read morelive in Bolton. We ordered the salmon salad & the Three Figs Tavern Burger as takeout. Even after a 25 minute drive home, the food was amazing! Highly recommend. I'll be getting my daughter & son in law some gift cards for this restaurant for their upcoming wedding anniversary.

    Odd little place. Locals like it. Parking way in the back makes for an uphill walk to the place…read more You enter, but there is no one to greet you in the very empty restaurant. So you walk farther upward to the bar. Small dark. Limited seating. Cozy and quaint but somehow still awkward. Yelp shows pizza, Steak and other great food. However, I was informed they no longer do pizza. Okay. So, I ordered the steak with red wine. A few minutes later I was told they were out of steak. (6:30 on a Wed). Ok. Np again. The baked scrod sounded good and I flipped my red wine order to sauv blanc. A very good house salad immediately came out. Fresh and full of good lettuce. Not cheap iceberg as well as plum tomatoes and cucumber and red onion. Nice! But it went down from here. Tick tock. Tick tock. Time goes by. The barteneder spending time talking to her favorite guests seemed aggravated that I interrupted after 15 minutes and asked if my dinner was arriving anytime soon? Just as she went to check it finally came out. And was not worth the wait. A $6 piece of cod sitting on mashed potatoes and soggy spinach just saturated in butter. A fish soup almost. $25? Ah not. I was just about to try dessert and the guy next to me ordered another drink for he and his girlfriend. The bartender said no. "We have a three drink max rule." Rude. To the point. Ruined their experience right there and mine too since i already had a martini and a wine. So, I wasnt going to rish an espresso martini with dessert and add more cost to be cut off. Anyway, i decided to skip dessert and just go. I left wanting an underwhelmed.
