It was a great time! I put food as 5 just because there wasn’t an NA option. Drinks were a little on the smaller size but tasted super good! The bowling was a blast and the staff really helped accommodate our reservation when we were trying to extend it. NOTE** I didn’t check us in (so this maybe had been said to our group) but at the end of the night they do split bowling and drinks per person so even if you reserve bowling with a card they don’t charge it unless people no show I think. It was a great time! We will be back again!

At first, I was skeptical because they recently changed buildings, but was pleasantly surprised to find a great environment. The drinks and food are a little pricier, but so worth it! We went the six of us and everyone loved their meals. The service was great as always highly recommend.
