We had a great family time!!! We were a family with extended family visiting. Party of 10 People! We were able to book two lanes side by side and the kids had an absolute blast! It was fun and reasonably priced for a one hour bowl! Definitely will be returning in the future!
Great staff, lots of fun to bowl. Glow in the dark bowling with 80's music can't be beat.Deli has a fabulous tasty,variety considering they are limited to what they are able to prepare. I recommend you try the place, or join a league, I hope to this year.
Mi daughter and grandson have some disabilities, they were treated with so much respect and kindness by the staff. My kids left their belongings behind, and were picked up and returned immediately by one of the staff. It is a great place for spending time with family and friends. I recommend this place 👌
Went here a couple weeks back with a friend. We were looking for something to do when we both had a day off work. Ended up finding this hidden gem. We went early in the day and had the whole place to ourselves, so it was very quiet but nice. They offer 10 and 5 pin here. We played 5 pin. They have food and drinks here. The staff is very friendly. The place is quaint, and quiet. I'd definitely return here. We played 5 games played by the hour.
They offer two types of bowling options: 5-pin bowling, which involves using smaller balls that can easily fit in the palm of your hand, and 10-pin bowling, which requires the use of larger balls that are more commonly seen in bowling alleys. Additionally, there was a pool table available for use, with payment accepted in loonies. The cues for the pool table are kept behind the counter. This establishment may not catch your eye immediately. It is located in the plaza adorned with what seems to be a weathered sign. Once you go down the stairs, you will find yourself in the heart of the business. The ambiance exudes a vintage charm reminiscent of the 60s and 70s. Although the computer system may be outdated, it remains user-friendly. The atmosphere is lively, attracting numerous university students from the near by university. The staff members are friendly enough. In summary, the prices offered here are more affordable compared to those of mainstream bowling alleys, falling within the average range.
