Honestly this place sucks. The food sucks. The service sucks. Everything about it sucks. I had paid for a groupon and showed up at 9pm, mind the place doesn’t close until 11PM. They rude lady at the front proceeded to tell me that we could not bowl because “the computer removed the groupon button to open a lane”. This place is crooked.

Arrived at 8:16 pm on Sunday night, and as soon as I parked someone ran out and shut and locked the door. Tried going in and it was locked. Called and the person working told me they were "closed early due to lack of staff and business." There were 3 cars parked there not including mine. I was told they close at 8 due to lack of business, yet they were open until I pulled in at 8:16. I drove over an hour there and chose them over Splitz, innocently trying to support local businesses. Never again will I be doing that. Doesn't take 20 employees to let someone bowl and if you were really closed then you should have closed and had your doors locked at EIGHT, NOT 8:16 AFTER I PULLED IN.

New to Gainesville. The equipment on lane 12 sucked and delayed our 2 hour play time repeatedly but the staff was kind and continued to fix error though they didn’t move us the another lane as there were about 26 open including the lane directly next to you. Thankful there is a lane in this rural area and we don’t have to drive 50 minutes from my home so we will probably be back just avoiding the lane. The lemonade was delicious and popcorn was tasty too.

Good luck getting in here if you don’t have a league. Called two weeks in advance for a party we wanted to plan and were told they don’t do reservations but that we could expect it to be easier on Thursdays as most of the week is for hosting bowling leagues. We completely shift plans to do the party on Thursday and were told to call day of to get an idea of what to expect and guess what? It’s 3/4th’s booked by a league and I’m informed I could’ve put a deposit down two weeks prior. Nice to know day of!! Last time I try to come here.

Friday night bowling league

Nice local bowling alley. Sodas are way over priced though. $4.38 I think is what a medium drink comes out to.

Let me just say that these are a couple of the nicest and most accommodating folks I've ever met. Mike is awesome, and so is LiAnne(I hope I'm writing her name correctly). They also have their really cool daughter there as well and all the staff is courteous n efficient. The prices are out of this century, on everything . I ❤️them and I love ? to bowl on these wonderful lanes. Just don't overcrowd me ?JK! Thank you.

Great place to take your frustrations from the work week on the pins. Nice atmosphere great staff.

Didn't try any snacks, looked like generic popcorn.Service was good, greeted at door and asked for shoe size and given lane right away. Area that I would suggest improving is more bowling balls and more new balls. A previous Yelp review mentioned that a pin would just drop occasionally, not very often. We thought it added to the experience, didn't really bother us. Nearly empty when we got there but by 7pm it was almost full. My son and I had a few fun hours. Would go back

Lian and Mike know how to run and take care of a bowling alley. Nice to still have a local bowling alley not under the branch of “big bowling” for a lack of better words. (Cough cough… bowlero)

Unique Landry

Really friendly staff and they remember their regulars and have awesome jello shots ?
