    a plate of food on a table

    So this place isn't called Village Lanes Bowling Center anymore, now it's The Branch. After rebranding the older bowling alley we decided to check it out during our Fall break. The transformation was great! First, each of the lanes is named after various cities in Loudoun, and we were lucky enough to get the Middleburg lane! The animations and face photos make the experience really fun and interactive. There was a ball at the register that you can use to measure your size (S/M/L) which helped the kids a lot. You also pay by the hour and not necessarily by the game which worked for us. It's pretty reasonable since we got two games in with three players. It wasn't very crowded when we went in the early afternoon on a Wednesday so not sure how busy it is during weekends. We ordered the kids slider, kids chicken tenders, and The Loudoun (parmesan-crusted chicken in a lemon caper sauce with roasted veggies over angel hair pasta) to eat. It said they use locally sourced ingredients which is nice. We all agreed - we would come back just for the food since it was all SO delicious!! Even the french fries were very tasty. Bonus, it's delivered right to your lane area and the seating is really spacious. The wait staff was super friendly and accommodating too. There's also plenty of parking outside the bowling alley. Overall I highly recommend you check it out. We will visit the arcades next time we are in the area too.

    If you really enjoy bowling without all the new distractions the other lanes have opted for then Village Lanes is highly recommended.

    It's good that there are 2 bowling alleys in Leesburg but Bowlero is over priced aver stimulated it…read morereally for this interested in everything but bowling. The bar and food with bowling is over the top. Two lemonades, one Diet Coke, 8 games for 90 minutes plus $20 for kids in the arcade costs $130. Next time I'll know better.

    Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience overall. The pricing was extremely high for…read morethe quality provided, and it was not worth the cost. I do not plan to return and would not recommend this location unless major improvements are made. Before booking, I called to ask about compensation for shoe rentals since everyone in my party owns their own bowling shoes and equipment. I was told food or beverage compensation would be provided. However, when we arrived, the front desk staff seemed confused, and after a long delay, we were given arcade credit instead, which was not what was promised. Once we began bowling, the lane condition was unacceptable. Staff confirmed the lane had not been oiled in over two days and it was visibly dirty. It took over 30 minutes to clean my bowling ball and another 30 minutes to clean my girlfriend's. The lack of oil caused the ball to behave unpredictably, making proper play nearly impossible and risking damage to our equipment. The group bowling next to us repeatedly ignored basic bowling etiquette--throwing multiple balls at once and launching them excessively hard. At one point, a ball bounced into our lane, which was unsafe. One female staff member did her best to address the issue and deserves credit, but the behavior resumed shortly after. This situation highlighted a need for better staff training and consistent rule enforcement. There were also frequent scoring issues, as the pinsetter incorrectly registered frames and required constant manual corrections. The food was equally disappointing--the pretzel sticks tasted stale, as if reheated and left sitting. For nearly $100 for two hours of bowling, I expected a much better experience. The high prices, poor lane conditions, mediocre customer service, and lack of oversight made this an extremely frustrating visit. This location feels more like "boutique bowling" and is not suited for serious or competitive bowlers.

    I'd give it 3.5 stars. I got the Trio package for our 3 boys that included a round of mini golf,…read more$15 in arcade game credits and a round of laser tag. The arcade games are pretty expensive and they blew through the $15 in less than 15 mins. The mini golf course was short and compacted on the main floor so the courses were not as fancy or intricate as some larger outdoor mini golf courses. The boys finished all 18 holes in less than 30 mins all by themselves. The laser tag was fun too. The vests were pretty big and heavy and it looked so big our littlest guy but he held his own. It seemed crowded when the summer camp group of kids were there, but when they all left, it wasn't crowded at all. Coming from LA, where anything fun is crowded, it was nice to not have to wait in long lines. We wanted to try the laser maze, but it wasn't working. The workers were all teenagers, and the manager guy looked maybe early 20's but they were all helpful. It was fun to spend a couple hours in the hot afternoon being indoors.

    This was a fun spot to check out and play a round of mini golf. I was initially nervous the monster…read moretheme would be a little too much for the kids. But they loved it, especially the gigantic green monster that would occasionally pop up and tower over the course. There are many different packages you can purchase. I ended up going with the combo golf and arcade package. It was a fairly good deal and I knew there was no way I would be getting out of this place without my kids playing a few rounds of Air Hockey and Skee-ball. I also enjoy a good arcade game myself. Some of the games, not all of them, dispense digital tickets. We managed to collect enough to get some fun toys including a spider that would crawl down a wall and an ice cream cone where you can launch the ice cream right off. My son thought this was the best invention ever! Overall, our time here was spectacular. We can't wait to visit again!

    This was my first time trying Pinstripes for brunch and I was not disappointed. As soon as I walked…read morein I was greeted by the friendly hostess who promptly took me to my seat. I made a reservation however, I was running a little behind but fortunately they were still able to seat me. Next, the waiter came over and took our drink orders. He was very nice, and attentive. It really seemed like he enjoyed his job. So that was nice. For drinks we ordered the mimosas. Unfortunately, it is not bottomless but we still enjoyed them. If you order the mimosas you get a bottle of champagne with orange, grapefruit, and cranberry juice on the side and a cup of fruit. It was a very nice presentation. We decided to partake in the brunch buffet which was delicious. All the items were cooked to perfection, and hot to serve. They offered many options from waffles to grilled chicken and pizza. I particularly enjoyed the chicken and waffles as well as the roast beef and mac n cheese. They also offered a variety of desserts that were tasty as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and not too expensive considering everything that brunch includes. I'd definitely go back. If you are in the Pike and Rose area I suggest you check it out. Cheers!

I did the brunch buffet too, lots of options from breakfast staples to pasta and plenty of desserts.

Cute atmosphere, great service, and bowling upstairs if you want to keep the fun going. I'd definitely go back!
