Haven't been here since the pandemic sadly, but when I saw the Black Keys were having an album release party here I had to come back!
Years ago I'd come here with my coed soccer team, we would use 3-4 lanes. I can't recall what the special was then, but it was a bargain and we saved a lot of money as it's BYOB and BYOF. We would bring a cooler and some hoagies and have a blast.
Went back with a smaller group last night, Thursday 4/4/24 and relived the good times. Thursday is a $10 unlimited bowling special, which is a tremendous value and a very popular special. The place was packed by 9:00 and people were waiting for lanes. It was nice to see a new generation of people out there ready to roll, we saw one group of 15, they had a few cases of beer with them and were definitely enjoying themselves.
They have around 30 lanes, ~15 on each side of the alley. The equipment worked perfectly for us all night. Didn't have any trouble on our lane, nor did I see anyone around us need assistance. We bowled on the "dark" side, with black lights and such, but you could opt to bowl on the other side in normal lighting. Music sounded good on their sound system as they looped the new album.
Staff was great, they were very friendly and helpful despite the place being really crowded. The album release was a lot of fun and the staff enjoyed the change of pace too I think.
Although there were a lot of regulars there it was fun seeing the other Black Keys fans who came for the event. Great marketing idea and I'm so happy Devon Lanes was selected to host it! read more
