The atmosphere: Sparkling, clean, fantastic. Lots of bowling balls in excellent condition, easy to find a couple for my game that fit my fingers perfectly. The lanes, well oiled, no down time, easy to manage information console. The staff: Outstanding. Simply outstanding. The best experience I have have at a bowling alley, bar now. Perhaps the best experience I have had going out for an activity in recent memory. Everyone was friendly, kind, courteous, and helpful. The manager, Simon, was incredible, and helped us figure out a tricky lane situation. A guy named Will was working behind the counter when I arrived, and he was friendly, even taking time to have a conversation with me while I waited for the rest of my group to arrive. Summary: If you are looking for a place to bowl, and want to have a stellar experience, this is the place to go. They also have daily specials, when we went it was $14.95 for 2 hours including shoes after 8pm, a steal of a deal. Thanks guys!

First of all the first thing I noticed about this place was how clean this place is. Every other bowling alley Ive been inside Ive felt kind of grimy the whole time but this place is VERY clean and aethstetically pleasing. Secondly, and probably the most important, was how amazed I was about the customer experience. Definitely the most friendly, courteous and kind employees Ive EVER experienced at a bowling alley and possibly at any other place. Im definitely coming back and I highly recommend this place for those who havent been yet!

This is your average, run-of-the-mill bowling alley. The lanes are smooth and well kept. The overall interior and bathrooms are clean. There are six pool tables to play on (half of which have dents), but almost no arcade games. The bar and grill are both way overpriced, but the service was good so I tipped anyway. There is not much to do in this area for kids besides this so youll often see crowds and families. I am also noticing more Indian ethnicities apparent.

Excellent service by manager and team. We ordered some food while we enjoy the bowling. The order got mixed up and we had kids waiting for food. I went and asked them for reason being delayed. they appologize for the situation and the manager came in person and returned the full money and let us enjoy the food. He and his employees were very nice and appologize many times for what happened. Thank you. Keep up the great work. I recommend this place.

Extremely clean. Even the bathrooms were sparkling and had fresh flowers in them. Good selection of house balls were organized. Bumpers worked as they were supposed to and came up for my son, went down for my husband and I. We got a cool printout of the scores after we were done that really broke down each frame and showed % of strikes per game, etc. We didnt try the food - this rating is for the bowling experience only.

Have gone there for open bowling and hosted a childs birthday party there. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Lots of food options. Plenty of open bowling time. The party went smoothly thanks to them. They also were the sponsors for my childs sports team. Thank you for giving back to the community as well.

Not a place to hangout with your girl friend, I went 3 times here fist time it was good, 2nd time there was fighting between other groups and 3rd time it was big fighting... cops were always siting outside the parking lot. not a clean place...

Nothing bad to say. I bought my first ball here and the place is very clean. Only issue is that there not really into giving any deals like the other alleys but other than that Im ask a customer a few times a month. Love those score boards.

Great local bowling alley for both leagues and recreational bowling. Theres a nice bar that is open late and the entire establishment is kept clean. A recent renovation in 2015 really brought the place up to modern standards.

Pretty average bowling alley. A bit expensive and TVs/systems seem a bit outdated, but overall fine. We were barely able to snag the last lane when we were told via phone we would have no problem getting a lane that hour.

I just love this place. Its so much fun. Every time I visit Michigan I come to play here with my husband. The offers they have a pretty nice. Friendly management, huge lanes, good music & fun place to be.

Just a usual place, what is didnt like is the distance between each pool table which was so less that people at different tables have to literally watch out not hitting the neighbors on the other table.

Alexandra Plapcianu

Much better than Lucky Strike! Friendly, helpful staff. Lots of balls! Lots of lanes! Music could have been better - some of it was depressing or chill-style music. Shoes were pretty clean too.

SUMANIKA MISHRA

The most lively and happening place in Farmington hills with descent crowd. A must go place on Friday night,u ll get good deals like a lane for 2hrs in 60$ & a XL pizza n a jug juice FREE!!!

The place looks good with plenty of bowling alleys. Although, Id been there to play pool and found their tables quite poorly maintained and worn out. Cue sticks arent good as well.

Drakeshire is under new ownership in the last year or so and has been cleaned up nicely. This us a nice place to bowl, or exec catch a quck beer and a light snack.

Joe Chudy

Its probably been somewhere around 8 years since I have been here. At some point recently it looks like they renovated the place. Looks great! We had lots of fun!

Good place to spend some fun time with friends. Pool tables are available too. Lot of lanes to bowl. Little costly . Lights are dim and not much food options.

Emily S

Only lanes that are maintained well are for leagues. Unable to slide on the lane when you bowl. Too expensive for the quality it was. Will never go back.

Roderick Besant

The lanes are nice and the staff was friendly and professional....It was my first time there and I had a really great time.....I would go back again

Under new management: great customer service! We will be coming back. Front counter and bar were a little understaffed, but it was a Friday night...

Arthur Vardevanyan

Wish Was cheaper but. Never had any problems, always been fun to bowl. This is your average, run-of-the-mill bowling alley. Service was good.

Andrea Moore

Clean and modern, friendly to kids, in-house food options tasty and moderately priced. An enjoyable place, also accommodates parties.
