Lots of "prize" games but very pricey & of course, the kids we brought wanted to win the big stuff like a brand new Nintendo Switch or PS5. Unfortunately one kid walked away with nothing (as a mom, totally expected that to happen. These games don't allow winners.) but my son spent probably 20+ dollars on a stuffed animal so I guess for him, it wasn't a total bust. The parking lot was pretty full, and I learned walking in that there was a bowling league there. Busy lanes! I can't speak to the food but did get a Bloody Mary which was decent enough. It's a sketchy area, if you aren't Portland-familiar. Don't leave valuables out in the open, blah, blah, blah. You know how the rest goes.

We sat in our parking spot long enough for Norman Goldman to serve up a little justice on the head of some, star-spangeled, economic hit-man, grabbed our balls and followed the thin man. After two hours of bowling and drinking under the black-lights, we dropped into the Lava Lounge for thirteen or fifteen more drinks. The floor was strewn with bowling bags, and ex-bowlers turned bad playing video poker. Asian girls, punk rockers and wanna-be rappers were lining up for karaoke. We decided to have sixteen or twenty drinks instead and signed up for top billing with the karaoke DJ. Sherry's went first with Diana Krall's "Peel Me a Grape". She broke a leg man - not a dry eye in the house: even the punk rockers were beside themselves. I mopped up with Frank Zappa's "Dirty Love". The girl's were screaming like back in the 60s - they mobbed me and someone took my shoe. Our cash was gone so we left while some kid was bringing down the house with a rousing rendition of Snoop Dogg's "I Don't Need No Bitch".

The whole experience was fantastic!…read more We first met with Jax when our group came in on Saturday afternoon without a reservation. Jax let us know it's usually pretty difficult to get in on weekend with a big group, but she massively helped us out after she mentioned there is a possibility they can squeeze us in.

Would love to go back and see the awesome team next time I'm in Portland!

Grand Central Bowl 5 Stars Wow. The Christmas decorations…read morethis year are off the chart. The moment you walk in, the whole place hits you with that perfect blend of holiday magic and vintage swagger. From the bar to the black-leather booths, the hardwood tables, the chrome, the glass every inch feels intentional, polished, and full of nostalgia. What really gets me is the style. The staff dressed sharp, the lighting just right, the whole atmosphere giving off that confident sass and class vibe. If I ever had a spot of my own, I'd want it to look and feel exactly like this. And the location? Perfect. It's one of those places you can swing into for anything grab a bite, bowl a few frames, play some games, or just soak in the holiday glow. It's that rare mix of fun, comfort, and timeless cool that keeps pulling you back. If you haven't been here during the holidays, make it happen. The Christmas lights alone are worth the trip. I absolutely love this place. Five stars, easy.

Fantastic! I'm from out of town and the closest thing we have to this is Round1 and it doesn't come…read moreclose. The two separate areas for the bowling is a nice feature (if you want something a little more quiet or less crowded). There appears to be a big meeting area in between for parties. Lots of game options and then the sports area (pool tables and lots of seating). We truly only experienced bowling and the service related to that. We did the VIP experience for our 9 people and had two servers for us. We ordered drinks via the QR code and they came out relatively quickly. We did a couple appetizers while bowling - the spinach artichoke dip and some cold cheese dip with potato chips. Both were fine, bar level nothing to really write about. The thing I remember is that one of our lanes kept having issues switching between players and the other kept having the balls get stuck at the return. Otherwise, they were playing 90s-00s music videos that were totally my jam. Can't complain about that!

Unfortunately I guess there was a scheduling snafu so our lane that was supposed to be ready at 6:30 wasn't ready until a little after 7:00. Despite the confusion, the staff was really friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. $2 bowling, $2 shoes and $2 laser tag on Wednesday, a deal you can't beat. The laser tag was fun and good sized. The bowling alley was smooth and well kept. I am definitely going to add this to my Wednesday night activities in the future.

Close enough to PDX hotels to Uber. The food was spectacular. The salads are huge. The ribs looked amazing. The lamb meatloaf was extremely tasty and the chicken pesto fettuccine was able to be made without fettuccine for me with just extra veggies and it was stellar. They did not even balk at substituting the extra veggies.. the swordfish special with the mushroom risotto and grilled asparagus was awesome. Everything was cooked to perfection and our waiter. Torben was the highlight. He had a wonderful, can-do attitude, very accommodating and extremely friendly. He really treated us amazing and his workplace as though restaurant was his taking pride in his job. The desserts that walked by our table made me wish I had only shared a meal with someone.
