This was the worst experience I have ever deal with in my life. I arrived at Amity Bowl at 6:20 pm I noticed it was some what crowded. They only had 8 lanes open left. It was only 2 parties ahead of me. When i arrived to the desk for placement the guy behind the desk asked me how many guest did i have? I told him 6 and that i have a groupon , he asked me did i reserve? I said no i didnt think you had to reserve for bowling. So he told me that i had to wait until 7:30pm so cool i waited . As i waited in the front i noticed people coming in and right away get seated to play. I let that go. So now its 7:30 he found a place for me and my family to play. As we start to sit down theres popcorn all over the seats and underneath the seats, drinks spilled all over the table. I went over to the guy who was behind the desk and i asked for him to clean up because its filthy he had an attitude about cleaning up. He eventually started cleaning up. Then as when begun playing we noticed we didnt have any bumpers, the pins didnt go up for the second chance to bowl. so i told the guy behind the counter that we didnt have any bumpers and that either theres something wrong with the scoreboard or the pins. He started telling me that theres nothing wrong with the machine and i showed him what was going on and he reseted it and he told me that there wasnt no bumpers on this particular spot. Its first come first served. Mind you i been waiting for an hour for to play, at the check in desk i specifically told him that i have kids from the ages of 5-9 i need bumpers this is their first time bowling. So as i watched my kids play i noticed how frustrated they were. Which made me upset because i payed my fare share here why should we get treated this way. When i looked around i notice only one 1 family with kids with the real bumpers and other adults had bumpers and they wasnt even using it. So i asked the guy behind the desk if it was okay if i take my last hour remaining and wait until another lane that has real bumpers open up he told me no and they paid their money and time for those lanes. So i let him have a piece of mind. I told him its not fair that you have grown people who arent using there bumpers bowl in those lanes. When i checked in told you i have kids and i needed bumpers. You sat me where there was a defective machine and popcorn and drinks everywhere. How can you open and establishment with only 8 lanes with real bumpers and others with plastic hose. So 20 mins later the guy comes to me and whisper in my ear if u want u can wait until another lane opens up. So i said no because when i first came to you with the issue you should of took care of it not 20 mins later. Now its 8:50 and my screen is reading 4 mins left to play how messed up is that when i paid for 2 hours. I asked can i speak to a manager because this is ridiculous. Everybody behind the counter ignored me so i personally asked this one guy if he was the manger and he ignored me.I went to the lady i explained my situation to her about my time the manager went into the back and checked to see what time i started playing he couldnt find anything. I just took my kids and left. This is worst place to ever take kids to. Please do not go here Youll be sorry. PS I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS PLACE

Took my cousins here while Im on vacation from FL. Very disappointed from the time my fiance called till time we left. Shouldnt have came here but was the closest place. The older guy at the desk told my fiance it will be busy that its best to reserve a lane, we get here and there was probably 6 people total in the place. The place has a weird smell, the equipment is beyond torn and needs a face lift. All the bowling balls seemed as if they were soaked in oil. So slippery to even hold and felt gross. The bowling pins kept coming into the lane and the employees got agitated but I cant help that. Cant tell who are employees because they wear street clothes. No wonder this place is so dead. This bowling alley needs a ton of work. Maybe start with better customer service, cleaner place and a face lift. Also not a good concept to take cash only at the food bar or bar for alcoholic drinks. Very disappointed. Wont be back ever, and wont recommend

They are by far the most inexpensive place to bring the family for a fun day of bowling, especially compared to the corporately owned mainstream chains of bowling centers that are everywhere. Amity doesnt charge the highest possible price for a game, shoe rental, bar drinks or food from the snack bar. Amity Bowl is a privately owned throwback that relies on giving you a good experience so that you will tell your friends. Everybody that works there is friendly and accommodating and it wont hurt you wallet. My last bit of advice, try the pizza at the snack bar.

Went here a total of 3 times so far, but probably not again. The prices are reasonable but its the treatment we received that has me irritated. My boyfriend and I went to bowl but the league was still playing. That was fine, we had no problem waiting for them to finish. We waited about 45 minutes when a family comes strolling in and the guy behind the desk gives them a lane within 5 minutes. Complete bull and absolutely rude!

I great, family owned, family oriented bowling alley. The prices beat out any center in the area, you cannot possibly get a better deal! The staff is absolutely wonderful, not only that, but the food is fantastic and very well worth it! If you want a day of fun, go to Amity Bowl!

Bleh. Total dive. And the kid behind the counter who calls himself the owner is a complete jerk to customers. Id rather take my kids to the AMF in Milford in the future.

You need to bring some cleaning wipes. I played in white shirt and it was very black on front from bowl.

My favorite part is how they give free fries to each lane/party and they have video games and rewards

The prices are good but it doesnt look like the lanes and equipment have been updated in a while.
