Well it was the first time I been bowling in my 42 years but and enjoyable one spent with my kids

Nope.. came here for my son's 8th birthday, we weren't having a birthday party there, just some family bowling. We've been to other bowling alleys in the Carson Valley, and we won't come back. It has a standard issue bowling alley feel to it, but that was the least of what bothered us. We come in, get a lane and shoes, no big deal. We start bowling and the group to the right of us starts having issues with their lane so the employee moves them over toward us, still not a problem, in fact I kind of felt bad because that's super annoying. We get about halfway through out first game and then we start having issues with our lane, right after the first players first frame, and additional half turn was added, I know this doesn't make sense so let me see if I can explain: my son bowled his two turns, but instead of the play moving to the next player, the first player was still highlighted as if they had a third turn (not the tenth frame) so he bowled for a third time which ultimately needed up being the first bowl for the next player. If that makes sense, there was a glitch. I tried to tell the employee who seemed confused and kind of annoyed. They reset the frame and we were able to continue. A few frames later the entire one froze. I had to see take employee again, he couldn't fix it so he moved is over one lane to the left. We were able to finish that game and we started a second. About halfway through we started experiencing the same thing as the first lane, and I had to go see the employee again who reset the frame and then again the entire lane stopped working, and we were yet again moved one lane over to the left. Ok. When it's my youngest sons turn to bowl the bumpers go up and only one side works, only about 2 feet of the other bumper came up resulting in many gutter balls, needless he was bummed and after show whole ordeal and several lane changes, we were just ready to leave. They did, however, give us 50% off our shoe rentals so.... Woohoo I guess. We won't be back.

This place is literally garbage! It's so cringe. Place is falling apart and owners don't care at all. A toilet seat is cleaner than this place. It's sad because this place has a lot of potential to be a solid staple for the community. Someone needs to buy this place, fix it up and make a fresh start.

They need to post when their league nights are. We have tried coming multiple times, but it's always a league night and they don't let us play, dispite there being multiple lanes still available. Horrible customer service.

LOVE this place. Great prices, fun bar, hysterical graphics, and PINBALL! The menu could use a lot of work and the place closes far too early (only reasons I didn't give 5 stars).

They have many games to play. The food is really good. Had slot of fun.

As soon as you enter it smells moldy & dank.. there are several areas on the floor going to the party room that have a warning sign on top of what appears to be rotted floor under the carpet.. doesn't seem to be a very healthy place for kid's birthday party

Went in with a friend to play pool. Kathy took our rental money (currently $5 for 65 minutes, which I think is a very geed deal). She was very kind to us. We had one drink each. It came to $12 and I gave her a $20 bill and walked away. She came out to out table to give me my change and I said that was for her. It is cool, though, that she didn't assume. Kathy was very kind to us, and we will be back. Next time for bowling and not to play pool (that was the original plan until my friend said she had never played pool). But Kathy (if I got the name wrong it's whoever was working 4/17/23 in the bar on the night shift) was very nice to us. Will definitely be back.

Had good fun with the family and very close to home for us. $14 an hour plus shoe rental with a bar. Smoke aloud in the bar which is nice even though I don't smoke. You can not smell the smoke at all in the actual bowling alley. There were no lanes open due to how busy it was however, just before we left I double checked and a group was late so they gave us the last alley available. I have no complaints.

My family and I absolutely LOVE this bowling alley and the wonderful people who run it.

Horrible just horrible, This place should be condemned!! The mold and mildew smell is unbearable!! Will never go again!! Fix your place or close it down!!

Very friendly. Every time we come everyone is really nice. If there is an issue, they bend over backwards to resolve it.

The bowling lane kept breaking down. They eventually put us in a different lane, but that lane was having issues as well. The food was ice cold, sent it back to be reheated and only came back luke warm
