Today I brought my two young kids (6 and 3) and husband to bowl one game. it costs us $68! We were stunned! $10 a bowler (even for the 3 year old) and $6 a person for shoe rental!!! on top of that, we ordered nachos and a kid pizza (separate from this cost) and it took 45 minutes. We were done playing by the time came. It was so disappointing. The staff seems over worked and didn't care at all when we went up 3 times to check on 45 min NACHOS!!! needless to say, we won't be coming back.

I've always wanted to check it out, so it was a real treat! The alley itself is on the smaller side, but it's decorated very nicely and has an arcade attached. There's a bar too which is always a plus! We ate dinner there - pizza and various appetizers. The chicken finger pizza was incredible, and I snagged a chicken wing egg roll as well, which was just as decadent. It's not cheap to bowl here. There's definitely more affordable options, so I don't think I'd necessarily list the Spare Room as a top choice if I were to have a bowling get-together in the future. But it was really neat, and if you do get the chance to experience it, you should take it. All in all, The Spare Room is a nice addition to 500 Pearl and Downtown Buffalo as a whole. I don't bowl often, but when I do, I love for it to be a unique, yummy experience. Let's not talk about what I bowled though.

All affordable to play Lots of cold beer options Fun atmosphere First visit to the new arcade area: They had a ton of games and the employee behind the counter was super kind and patient with my kids. I think there was a birthday party going on. Nobody could really confirm if we were allowed to play so we stayed. Games were brutally short and expensive. I cannot recommend bringing young kids here. Not that a pool hall is necessarily where they should be to begin with. I wish they had an unlimited play option. Awesome hangout spot or place to bring a date. Leave the little kids at home.

We were there on a Monday night and there were a couple of people on the floor fixing pinball machines. It's really cool to have an active person working to fix them, I'm sure it takes a lot of manage with as many pinball machines as they have. The one thing is they are a bit rude. Twice we were playing a machine and were asking to move because they were trying to get by with tools or another machine. And when your actively in a game of pinball you can't stop or you will lose so pretty rude they didn't just wait for you to be done or come back when the walkway was clear. My favorite machines are Metallica, Scooby-doo and fun house. Those were the most fun. The fun house machine particularly I thought was in very good shape, Scooby-doo is pretty cool also. I couldn't leave buffalo without having buffalo wings and even though this place isn't know for the that the food was surprisingly good and cheap. We got 10 wings and I split them with my husband. They were mild. Def spicy but not too too spicy and the wings were super crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Blue cheese was good too and they gave baby carrots. When they came out they were steaming hot. You could literally see the steam come off of them. Wished we lived here so we could come more often!

I recently visited Dave & Buster's to celebrate my son's birthday. I purchased an unlimited play…read morecard at the beginning of November; however, the information provided at the time of purchase turned out to be incorrect, which initially made me ineligible for a promised discount. To the manager's credit, once the issue was addressed, it was handled professionally and the discount was honored. The more frustrating issue occurred during dinner service. A full rack of ribs was clearly listed on the menu, yet the server informed me she did not have the ability to order a full rack, only a half rack. I had to insist on ordering what was advertised and request to speak with a manager. During this interaction, the server responded rudely, stating that no one else had an issue with this and that I was the only one. Two minutes later, she returned and stated the issue was "fixed" and proceeded to take the order. This was not an isolated experience. This is the third time I have encountered situations at Dave & Buster's that required manager involvement for basic service matters, which should not be the norm for a family entertainment and dining establishment. If it were not for the fact that my son truly enjoys this place--and the limited family entertainment options in the Buffalo area--I would not return. I would not generally recommend Dave & Buster's based on service consistency. That said, if you are in a similar situation and need a venue to keep kids entertained, it may suffice, but expectations should be managed.

A few weeks back we came here to celebrate my fathers birthday . The service was absolutely…read morehorrible. I'm not usually one to express a negative experience, but this was exactly that! Let me begin with we made a reservation. When we arrived the host was very nice. The table wasn't ready which is okay that normal can happen, but we had two small children in our party and they sat us at a Hightop table where the highchair didn't reach. We waited ... ready... 2 1/2 hours for our food. We seen mutuiple family come eat and leave before out r drinks where even out. We asked to speak to a manager twice and she never came. Not only that but we purchased cards to play games after lunch which turned into dinner and they weren't working. The only reason I gave 1 star is because the burger i personally had was good. It takes a lot to mess up a burger . After we all finally got our food items took another 30 min to get refills and mayo! I didn't even bother to ask for ketchup. I just walked over the the bar area and took it from a different table. After eating it's took ..... 30 more min for the check, and when I received it , it was wrong. I asked what they were going to take off for the inconvenience. Now we were a party of 10 so this wasn't a small bill by any means. The server looked me and said "take off for what." I took a deep breath and said for waiting 3 hours to eat on top of everything else. Long story short they took the sodas off the bill . Never seen the manager and spent most of our time just waiting. Good thing we're all good company lol or it would have been such a boring and awkward time. My cousin went to the food court and at his food at our table that's how bad it was. The kids where so hungry. It was just a very bad experience. We made the best of it after and the games where fun. Highly don't suggest eating there unless you have no other plans for the day. But on a positive note it could have just been a bad day. I personally won't be eating there anytime soon. A few ppl felt sick after also.

My friend ordered the pizza, fries and pretzel bites and 3 sodas and it all came out cold and pizza was doey. Server/bartender forgot the admittedly forgot the sodas we ordered. I ordered a chicken tender sub and my other friend ordered pretzel bites, she put it on the same tab and spent 10 minutes figuring out how to spilt. It was figured out and we went on our way, well 45 minutes later we were wondering where the food was, went up to the bar and bartender told the cooks to cancel it (assuming because of the confusion of splitting tabs?)despite us paying for it. Once again forgetting mine and my friends drinks. Got our food and yet again cold. Overall, staff was confused, slow, and forgetful but kind. Kindness only goes so far.
