Wow! I had never been to Plainfield Lanes before, but came for my nephew's birthday party this…read moreweekend. I was very pleasantly surprised! Most bowling alleys (if not part of a chain, ie Brunswick), have a dreary vibe to them - dark, dank and unkempt - but not here. We arrived at 1pm for the birthday party, and all of the lanes were already busy. You can tell that this business books a lot of parties - and I can see why! The price per person for parties is fantastic! They have multiple tiers of both children and adult parties, as well as corporate and fundraising events. We had chicken fingers and pizza, and both were better than you'd expect at a bowling alley. The party even had a coordinator; he kept the time very on track, and was very accommodating. I'd definitely recommend Plainfield Lanes as a local outing or party spot!

This was my first time at Twisted Pin, and I was very impressed. The prices are pretty high but as…read morea non-bowler, I am not sure how they rank compared to other places. On the other hand, this place is also a little more high end compared to your old fashion bowling/dive bar places. The location was very easy to find. We used Google Navigation and it lead us directly to the place. If you miss the entrance, it might be a little annoying to backtrack but no big issues. Parking was no issues and it is very big compared to the size of the building. We showed up on a busy Wednesday where it is penny pins so you only pay a penny per pin you knock down. Essentially...the worst you are, the cheaper your game will be. Inside the building is very nice and clean. There are two entrances..one is a "restaurant" and the other is the decent sized arcade and bowling. There is a self serving beer tap. And they do serve food. They do a little star less due to the prices of the food as well. It is better than your traditional bar/bowling food but it is a little more expensive. Also, I do enjoy the service of the self serving beer tap. They had a lot of selections of beer, 1-2 seltzers, 1 cider and ~5 wine selection. Also, they do have a "limit" of ~32 oz where the bartender can allow you or less depending on how you act. I do appreciate that so while you can drink feely, no one is getting drunk. I think we were paying ~.60 cents an oz and it does tell you how much your drink will cost as you are pouring. Also, they do have a small water station will is greatly appreciated. The arcade is decently sized. They do have a lot of selections of games but it is not a place where I would go just for the arcade. The size is good for after bowling or while you are waiting for your lane. Overall, I am very impressed with this location. Food, self serving beer tap, and arcades... I am fan of Twisted Pins and I would be back in the future.

I've been a couple times for special events and it's always a positive experience.

The only drawback is that it is expensive...about $40 an hour and shoe rentals are extra.

I then said but I had to come to the bar in order for the gift card to be used. I'm then told there's a kiosk by the kitchen that could be used too!

I was skeptical but honestly, because of Pinstripes, this may have been the best work party I've been to. I didn't see a lot of the place because I didn't visit the bar upstairs, and we were downstairs for our meeting-party. The meeting room is quite large and accommodated our group of 50 or so people easily. The food was really good too; we had some chicken, Mac and cheese, ribs, and more. The sliders weren't my favorite because they were really pink inside, so I skipped that. The other stuff I had was quite delicious. But the best part was the games. I mean I'm a board game enthusiast but have never played bocce and now I am wondering why not. It was so much fun. I mean I'm ready to buy a lawn set, or join a bocce league or whatever. The rules are simple but it's fun. They also have a really gorgeous patio area that another group was apparently going to be using, and that space is along the riverfront. I would be super glad if we came back to Pinstripes, to the extent that I'm going to make sure our VP knows how much we enjoyed it. There's no dedicated parking so you'll need to take a taxi or find a spot in a nearby lot. Spothero was great for that, since my spot was cheaper than the validated parking that Pinstripes offers.

The bar tenders and the wait team was AMAZING and were right where they needed to be when you needed them. They were nice and friendly as well. The food was kind of like bar food but had a little bit of an upscale feel to it and everything was very tasty. I highly recommend this spot for a night out or a company function as they were on point for both the night we were there.

This was my first time here and let me tell you...Stardust Bowl 2 is everything you'd expect a local hometown bowling alley to be (and I say that in a non-judgmental observational kind of way). 1. There's the local cop who is stationed there -- why is that, I wonder? Is there imminent harm from the local drunk? 2. I'm sure the lady that rang us up was named Marge or Peggy or Mary Sue 3. Everyone has this friendly demeanor that still tells you that they won't throw you no farther than they can catch you. 4. I suddenly felt transported to an 90s version of back to the future. If I'd seen Marty, I wouldn't have been shocked! 5. The fun we had was so wholesome and genuine. 6. A lovely mixed crowd of old, young, families, singles, first dates, and the pro-bowlers. 7. Cheap beers (I had Woodchuck Cider, I don't quite consider that a beer...) Definitely worth a visit!

We've been going here for a while, and recently last week we had 3 balls gets stuck in one of their…read moreball returns, and they all got chewed up pretty bad. The guy at the counter was nice and said they'll take care of it, we filled out a couple sheets for the ball info and our info and they said they'll have the pro shop fix them. Well, we got them back the first time, hardly anything was done, the employee of the pro shop was extremely rude with us that day as well. So we left them there to get resurfaced, and the employee told us to just talk to Jason(the owner of the pro shop) when he comes back the next day. So I did, he resurfaced the balls himself. 2 of the 3 are okay, they have blemishes but they're smooth. The third one, my Evoke Hysteria(i bought this ball 3 weeks ago), 90% of the coverstock was taken off to remove the issues. The USBC serial numbers are partially gone so it is INELIGIBLE and not legal to use in my upcoming sanctioned league or tournaments. The GM of the alley told my wife that they're not able to replace the ball and there's nothing they can do. Im sorry, but you acknowledged your lane equipment messed up our balls, you're liable for the ball. Any reputable alley would do right by it's returning customers and fix/replace a ball that was damaged by your equipment especially a recently purchased one. I DO NOT recommend bowling here, unless you want to have your bowling balls destroyed.
