Midway Bowl had been advertising a "$2 Tuesday Mardi Gras Edition" on social media and honestly…read more.. cheap bowling plus themed fun sounded like the perfect way to celebrate Mardi Gras, unwind after work, and laugh my way through a Tuesday night with my adventure buddy. Say less. I was READY. Being the responsible planner that I am, I tried to reserve a lane ahead of time online...only to be prompted to pay $70 to reserve one bowling lane. On $2 Tuesday. My brain immediately went, "Ma'am, something is not mathing here." So instead of rage-clicking checkout, I messaged Midway Bowl for clarification. To their credit, they responded quickly and explained that daily specials are first-come, first-served only and can only be redeemed in person. Slightly annoying if you're driving any distance, but, we decided to roll the dice and show up anyway. We walked in and I was fully hyped for Mardi Gras bowling. I had been talking about this for DAYS. And then... Front desk guy: "No clue what you're talking about. Maybe the bar." Me, internally: Sir. The Facebook post. The graphics. The vibes. The expectations. None of this was a fever dream. Because literally, HOURS before I walked in the door, they posted on Facebook: "Today is the day! Come join us from 6-10 pm for our Mardi Gras themed $2 Tuesday!" I did not dream this up! But okay. It's fine. I'll throw my own Mardi Gras party in my head. No problem. There were Mardi Gras-themed drink names at the Sparetime Lounge bar, but it was packed thanks to trivia night, so we pivoted to snacks and bowling -- which ended up being the real MVP move anyway. Let me tell you about the snack bar because WOW. Two orders of tacos (four tacos total at $1 each), six boneless wings in garlic parmesan sauce ($2), a 12" pepperoni flatbread pizza ($8), and two fountain sodas ($3 each) came to a grand total of $20.84. And the food? Actually GOOD. Not "this is acceptable for a bowling alley" good -- legitimately good. Also shoutout to the snack bar staff member who immediately understood what I meant when I mentioned the $2 specials, because for a minute I thought I had collectively imagined the entire promotion. Bowling itself was an absolute steal -- two games plus shoe rentals for $12 total. And I have to say, Midway Bowl is probably the cleanest, most modern bowling alley I've ever stepped into. Bright, welcoming, lively -- none of that sad, dusty bowling alley energy. Someone clearly cares about this place. So here's the deal: the marketing got me excited for a full-on Mardi Gras themed experience, but in reality, it was just regular $2 Tuesday bowling with some festive drink names floating around. Which is totally fine -- just not quite the "Mardi Gras Edition" I had built up in my head. Would I go back? Absolutely -- just with adjusted expectations and maybe my own beads next time. They're celebrating their 70th anniversary, and it shows in how well they maintain the space. And honestly? Cheap bowling, good food, and a night full of laughs is never a bad time.

Overall, I would recommend this place. It's sad, but I think bowling alleys themselves are dying…read moreout. We came here for father's day. I was looking for duckpin bowling which I discovered is slightly different here than in most places. Maybe it's the norm for PA, I'm not sure. The lanes are much smaller and kid like, so we did it for an hour, then switched over to regular bowling. The prices are higher online if you reserve a lane than if you just walk in. I called first to see how busy they were, and they weren't so we just paid there and saved a few dollars that way. We all had a good time because we made the most of it. We ordered pizza, chicken tenders, onion rings, and sodas all fairly decent what you would expect from a bowling alley. The place was very clean and so were the bathrooms. It was on a Sunday night so it seemed kind of quiet. I hope they get more business on other days and times of the week because this is a very nice place to go and it wasn't busy at all.

Due to some medical issues, I haven't been able to bowl the past couple of years, so it was really nice to be back and able to bowl again this year. Clear View is a very nice bowling alley -- they have a small pro shop, a snack bar, and a full restaurant. New this year, they even added an indoor golf hitting range! I didn't bring my clubs, but it looked like something I'd love to try next time. Bowling here feels a little different than at my home alley -- I don't seem to bowl quite as well -- but I still have a great time and enjoy the atmosphere. Quick tip if you're hungry: head down to the restaurant and get the cheese and bacon French fries -- they were excellent! Definitely worth trying. Looking forward to coming back next year.

The lanes are probably shinier than any alley I've seen. Shinny does not mean dressed with plenty of oil either. The space is the same. But we do not have a full tournament.

The venue was beautifully decorated for the holiday season and had a tasty cocktail/happy hour with a fantastic bartender and appetizers. We had a sit down meal that consisted of salad, your choice of entree (steak, haddock or tortellini) and a dessert bar with coffee that satisfied every taste. Staff were very friendly and helpful but with such a large event they seemed a little overwhelmed or could've used another person or two. We had to flag them down for water refills and eventually just went to the bartender for refills. Parking was a bit strange as you had to park on the side of the road or in a small lot that wasn't very well lit. This was around 6pm when its pretty dark and back a windy country road. Once that parking lot filled up there was a larger lot a bit back but again it was so dark and not well let we weren't sure if if was the right one or not.

The answer is quite simple. Take them to the Mother's Day Brunch at The Lodge at Liberty Forge. Behold the splendor which awaits you: *Tepid water as your free beverage. In fairness, coffee was available. *As an upcharge I ordered 3 raspberry iced teas. It was unsweetened, lacking raspberry flavoring with a strong chemical taste. Not drinkable. * I would have had Manhattan clam chowder. The container was so low the soup could not be cradled. * Chafing dishes which were all open resulting in the food not being warm. Case in point-- French toast with an unmelted pat of butter on each piece. Where is the maple syrup? You'll find it at the carving station which makes no sense. *Carving station--occasionally staffed. Otherwise, you were treated to irregular cut slices which again were cold from not being under a heat source. Au jus, as with everything else, was not hot and flavorless. *Carolina Fritta--I like my eggs, potatoes, and Smoked Cheddar Cheese not to be room temperature. The Mother's Day Buffet is egregious. Save your money unless your goal is punishment. After leaving this wonderful buffet I fulfilled my hunger at Burger King-- 2 Whopper Jr's for $5.00. Now that's pleasurable! Jack B.

The first time we went in July of 2025, the hours were posted wrong online & so we showed up a few hrs early before their actually open time . A bartender arrived to set up the bar & was so friendly & accommodating to us. She offered to get us a canned drink while she was setting up so at least we had something to drink while waiting. Once she opened, she made us great mint mojitos! My friend & I returned this past July of 2026 & our amazing bartender Kelly was still there & remembered us! She even hooked me up with a complimentary jelly shot for my birthday. There was also a very nice male bartender there but I did not get his name. They had added a lot more seating like Adirondack chairs, couches and fire pits outside. They had a food truck there also which was a nice addition so when our other friend arrived the 3 of us nibbled on chicken potstickers, fries, a hotdog with chili and jalapeño poppers. Despite it being a hot day, they had a huge fan at the bar that makes it more comfortable, a mister in the bar area and you get a great natural breeze off the river anywhere else you're sitting besides the bar so this helped immensely. They had live music on the little stage by the couches so this was the icing on the cake! Luke Miller was great and unfortunately we had to leave before the 2nd guy performed.
