When we arrived to bowl at 11pm the front doors were locked, even though when we looked up the hours it said open until 1am every day, which was also posted on the door. Someone let us in under the condition that we were only allowed to bowl one game and the bar was closing and the concession was already closed. We got in, bought drinks, spent about 70 dollars total between all of us for shoes, lanes and drinks for about an hour of fun. Towards the end of our first game I asked if we could go ahead and buy one more game, promising wed be out by 1, we just wanted to finish our drinks while we bowled, but the guy at the register refused. I will say the bartender was very courteous, decided to stay open a little bit longer for our friends to buy drinks, then checked on us to make sure we didnt need anything else before he closed up. But the guy running the register was basically just waiting for us to leave from the moment we got into the alley. I understand summer can be slow for business in Bloomington, but stay true to your hours for paying customers please.

I went here with my friends recently. We thought it would be fun to try the candy claw machine. To our surprise we won a little, but when we went to reach down and get the candy we saw something a little odd. There seemed to be a wooden box collecting ALL the candy. So any child who spent that 50 cents his Mom or Dad gave him so he could go try to win would be very disappointed to know that he or she couldnt win. When I took this up with someone at the front desk they proceeded to tell me that it is a "trap door system" and they get them straight from the factory and dont tamper with them. I was very disappointed not because I didnt get any of the candy I won, but because a little boy or girl went home disappointed that he or she couldnt get that candy because someone put a box to collect the candy for themselves and have some other parents pay for it for you.

It started off good, although i bowled my first ball i slipped fell come down landed on the divider that divides the lanes in the middle of my back, my head hit the floor my glasses flew off i needless to say got hurt badly, my daughter went got ice he the attendant handed her Ice water she told him no my mom just got hurt i need an ice pack he gave her then a bread bag of ice never asked what happened is she okay not a word Im still hurt and in alot of pain it was the thought that plain courtesy should have played into this, its not like it was busy there was a total of including us 8 people, ladonna boyd

Loved bowling here. Everything is good and nice about this place. A lot of tables to sit if you are in a group. Have pool tables and games too. Only think I did not like was there is hardly any good food items if you want to eat there and service at bar is very slow. The toilets were not managed, no toilet papers in any of them and water from taps was burning hot, you cant wash hands directly under tap. I even told the staff about it so that accidently any kid doesnt burn their hands.The bowling part was good, staff at counter was friendly and helpful.

The slick looking dude that thinks hes in charge is Rude and Arrogant! I could make a pot roast in the amount of time it takes to get anything from the concession stand and the bar is dirty. I think that about sums up the awful experience! Make the drive to Indy for a much better experience!!!

Decently maintained bowling alley with a solid grill and cafe. Equipment seems up to date and the entire place is clean. Staff are usually friendly though not always fast. Overall, you can get a good amount of entertainment for your buck.

They closed the bar/food area earlier than the bowling alley. Late night(not even that late, it was just about 10pm) bowling deserves snacks and drinks, other than vending machines

Staff may not always be in the best mood, but the bowling is always fun, they have really upgraded their systems to make it more entertaining between turns.

Only place to bowl in Bloomington. The lanes are well kept and the staff is usually friendly. Theres also a good quality Kiss pinball machine

You pay per person per game, which is frustrating. They do have a bar, which is awesome. They also have an arcade, but most games dont work
