Something for everyone. I love this place, as does the hubby and our teen. PROS: Large bowling alley Conference room Excellent Arcade, it has everything from Claw Prize Machines, to Various styles of Skee Ball, Air Hockey, Arcade games that cover driving, shooting, coin collector/dumper, and so on and so on. The majority of games give out tickets which can be redeemed (based on the amount of tickets) from trinkets like erasers, glow sticks to building sets, balls, etc. Great place for Birthday Parties, they have a large room off the side of the arcade for Kids parties. Weve done the kiddie party with laser tag a while back and IMO it was as much if not better than bounce house. You can add the arcade, or bowling. For adult entertainment, the sports bar has more than enough screens for all sports lovers to find a screen with "their" team if its televised. Regardless if you are sitting in the bar, restaurant or you are upstairs shooting pool or throwing darts. Live bands are frequently there. As my child isnt old enough for clubs we havent been able to stay for any of the bands yet, though most of the bands will be familiar to Solan County Residents. Food: snack bar type deal in the Bowling Alley area. You can get food in the bar or Restaurant. I recommend that you do. The Steak Sandwich is tasty and tender, Pulled Pork, Pasta, Calamari are all great. They grill the best Pork chops of any restaurant in town. Havent yet had a bag experience with the food. Its a lot higher quality than youd expect to find at a Sports Bar or even some chain restaurants. The service is always top quality. The employees are friendly, efficient, and professional.

It was Mothers Day and my daughter took me to play laser tag and to bowl. Bowling was great, Cory who was working the counter was awesome and pleasant. The bartender in the lounge was very nice as well. We decided to play laser tag at 7:10pm. Ryan (employee) informed us that we had until 7:20 to pay since they were closing down. As my boyfriend pays at the front area, I start chatting with Nina, the other laser tag employee. She was very friendly and professional. Upon my boyfriends return from paying, Ryan is obviously irritated that he has to stay later for us. We watch him yell at Nina to "just put them in with the other group, I want to leave early". Nina takes us in to explain how to utilize the equipment but by this time we are feeling really uncomfortable by Ryans attitude. We decide not to play. When Nina tells Ryan that we are not going to play he very loudly yells at her "why wont you let them play"? While he is yelling at Nina, one of the managers is just watching and NOT stepping in. We left without a refund because refunds are not given on laser tag regardless of how poorly a customer is treated. I would have given more stars but Ryans attitude just really soured the entire experience.

I was in Stars last week on Wed, Oct 29th. I am writing to let you know how inattentive and rude the woman working the front desk was (slightly tall, thin, with bleached blond hair). Apparently there was a problem that she was dealing with in that a party had not been added to the schedule and she was upset. I was sorry to hear that, but she, and another woman coming out from an office who could have also made an effort, were oblivious to me and the other 6 people (4 of them children) who were with me. When she finally got around to acknowledging my presence and learning that I was not with the other customer and her guest, she asked if she could help me. I told her I would like to rent a lane. I was surprised to learn that there were none available and said "Really?" because I was disappointed and surprised, and in a sarcastic way she said "Yeah, really". I realize that she was flustered, but your staff needs to learn to acknowledge every customer waiting for service within a reasonable amount of time. I can tell you this, Stars does not have to worry about me booking a party at this location, nor us bringing our family business to you ever again.

Very Good. I did not get the minimum 12 kids for a B-Day party and Stars allowed me to forward my deposit to Bowling lanes instead. 8 kids showed up and had a blast. I was able to order pizza and a second bowling alley as needed. Booked laser tag and the little rats had more fun. They got sweaty though. Twice I bought 120 tokens for $30 on my Visa card at machine and kids went nuts in Arcade. I think I spent around $250 for everything from 11am to 2:30pm. Pizza was surprisingly good considering it ran through what looks like a giant toaster oven. Even my wife liked the pizza. Stars also stored B-Day cake in freezer at no charge. By 1pm the place was packed for a bowling tournament but I was still able to get help at the desk etc. A little patience is all it took. Realize the staff have to watch all the lanes while serving at the desk. The light weight kids balls are at the desk. Ask for them.

At the front counter, 2 guys running the entire bowling arena, leaving little to no cleanliness/upkeep of the restrooms. In the diner, there was only 1 fellow to take orders/cashier/waiter/bus the entire facility. Ive frequented this facility for nearly the 18 years it has been in operation. And during these past few years, I have seen a decline in pride from its owners/operators/staff. There has been dirty tables, trash left /overlooked on the floor, overflowing waste cans in the restrooms & throughout the recreation center. This saddens me, because Stars was once a place our family greatly enjoyed.

Only good if you bowl.... Restaurant bar sucks at food, price portions. Plus when you have a group of 15+ people watching a football game and they focus on getting you out and such..... Dont put games on your TV if you want the tables to rotate quick.... DONT ORDER THE FISH AND CHIPS.... 2 small fish and the waffle fries were half full size.... Dinky crumbs other....

Just went to a lovely wedding at Stars and was pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the service was friendly. I did not expect it to be as nice as it was. My only complaint is that the kitchen staff was very loud and boisterous and had to be told to tone it down during the wedding ceremony. They did not have the best attitude.

My band plays here often and the staff is top notch. Ive heard stories from fellow musicians about fights and general rowdy behavior in the past. There is certainly no sign of that with the current management. Food is good and there is a lot to do, from bowling to billiards. Pinball, sports bar and live music with dancing!

There are coupons for bowling on Groupon that really take the price down when bowling with a party of 4 or more. On Friday nights, the cover charge for the bar/live-band is $10, but a Blue Moon is only $2.50. Billiards upstairs is free and there is plenty of seating for groups.
