Just the late night drive you are looking for. Great staff and hot band.

Food is great. Has a wonderful live band and drinks are cheap. Very friendly here. A place you would love and call home

This was my first time at RIPs and my last time. Went last night, Thursday, June 25, 2021. Should have gotten the bartender's name. Arrived somewhere between 7:30 and 8 p.m. Hopefully this information is enough for management to figure out who the bartender was. Fire her! She was absolutely horrible. What an embarrassment to RIPs and the service industry. Mind you the place wasn't very busy at all. I ordered a salad with mahi. Out of mahi. No big deal; asked for chicken instead. 45 minutes later still no salad and no updates. Never checked on us. When I could finally get her attention, I politely told the bartender that it seemed like a long time to have to wait for a salad. No acknowledgement to the situation nor an a apology. I asked her to cancel the salad and requested my drink bill which consisted of one beer. Just one beer because I couldn't get her attention to get another nor could my friend who also had one beer.. She then went on to prepare other guests drink orders while we waited for our tabs. Another 10 - 15 minutes. There was a band playing if you could call them that. The genre was great. Huge difference between great music and loud noise. They just didn't know how to play it well. It was so loud in there we had to move outside. I love finding new venues with live music. What a disappointment! My friend mentioned the bartender and band were horrific. He doesn't normally do that. I hate to write poor reviews but the bartender/band deserve it. Don't waste your time.

You know, it's OK. I mean, it's a bowling alley with a bar/restaurant attached, not a nightclub on Miami Beach. Decent wings, pricing is average for a place with live music, parking is free, service is hit or miss based on how packed the place gets. I have been going to that Bowling Alley since it was built. Initially, as a kid, to bowl. Now, 50+ years later, we go for wings, drinks, and music on occasion. I will tell you........depending on who is playing that place can get extremely crowded. I suggest you get there early if you want a table to see the entertainment. And look out back for additional parking.

We had a great time at the Thursday night open mic. Terrific house band, food and service. I like the clean, friendly environment and will go back there to eat and/or hear music.
Love this place! Their menu has changed a bit - but for the better! It's a great spot for date night or a bday dinner or even a night out! They play great music and the crowd definitely seems like professionals vs ratchets. Highly recommend the fried olives and the mushroom pasta. I literally fantasize about that pasta lol.

Bowling & food a little pricey, but was fun. First Sunday we went we played two games each, second Sunday we went we ended playing four games each as it ended up cheaper. they have great lunch specials for $5.99 mon.-friday only at the bar area. i usually get the spaghetti dish and iced tea special. very big portion and the sauce is excellent. Great smokeless bar. Food is always well made and not just thrown together. Servers Ellie and girls are great. Music is great on the weekends great venue.

The bands are good bands every weekend. Forever Young who plays the first friday of every month is one of the best. Good food friendly service as well.
