Went on a last minute bowling trip for a friends birthday. Good thing we only needed 2 lanes because out of the 20 available, only 3 were open, and we had to wait for the 2 that were next to eachother. The staff was incredibly rude, and very slow about taking care of our problems, which there were many. Took 2 hours to finish one of the games because the lane kept freezing up and needing to be reset. Theres a disclaimer sign telling you to use personal bowling balls at your own risk of damage, seemingly because when the balls are fed back to the lanes they crash into each other every time. (was scary to have a 4 year old anywhere near them) theres a disclaimer sign stating that refunds are not given at this location, which makes sense since we would have asked for a refund after the first hour of constantly resetting the lane. Would have moved to another lane, yet they were all closed "for maintenance" (no visible work being done during the time we were there, just seemed the employees couldnt be bothered to open/maintain more then 3) That being said, the Garage (attached bar) seemed like a reasonably cool place to hang out, and had the only well mannered employee in the building behind the bar. I would only come here to hang out in the bar during a game, but then again, I could go literally anywhere else.

Celebrities (Mehgan James of Oxygens Bad Girls Club (LeBrons cousin) and WWE/TNA superstar Amazing Red came to this place July 25, to help uplift the local community and NOT many showed up. This place doesnt have a sign outside the building, VERY hard to find. They charged the celebrities to drink, they provided no hospitality, their tab was only $28. Its sad places like this fall under because the locals dont support, nor does people support each other. Sadly places like this and/or other places cannot survive because when Marketing strategies are in gear to bring Revenue to the area, the community doesnt support. Events like these bring people from other areas to spend money at local stores, restaurants, bars, gas stations etc...But this isnt happening just in Barberton, A lot of non support is happening around Ohio and the results are showing with failing communities...

Not organized at all. I had my daughters bday party there and over the phone I was told I would get a call the day before to go over the plans. I was told the party room was included when u purchase the party package of 10 or more kids same with drinks and chips. Thankfully my sister inlaw had one 2 weeks ahead they charged her an extra 20 for the room that was filthy.. she had to have them mop after the party was started.. so since I didnt recieve a call I called. They didnt even mark down u was to have the party room thankfully the banquet room was available.. at least they keep this room clean.. and she was very rude when I was going .over everything that was planned. So day of party they never even had the cotton candy machine out and then charged us for the POP..

I will not come back!! Lanes 17 & 18 kept shutting down. The first time was due to the timer ending too early, the second was mechanical issues and the third was timer issues again. (Apparently, the girl at the counter cannot tell time.) We didnt even get to finish our first and only game, before it was time for our group to leave, and the girl at the counter, never suggested any kind of discount or even some of our money back. She just gave a very sarcastic grin, and that was my cue to just not even pursue it any further. Customer service was lacking terribly (there was only a teenage looking girl and a 10 year old boy working the desk), the drinks took absolutely too long to make at the bar, and the lanes were old and broke alot!!

Last night, 12/03/16, I brought my son, his friends and my family bowling for my sons birthday. Half the lanes were down, when we finally did get to bowl, our lanes kept breaking down. Video games that SHOULD have had "out of order" signs on them did not, causing many of the kids to lose money. Regardless of "play at your own risk" signs being up or not, the staff admittedly knew they were broke and failed to put up a sign saying such. To me, thats fraud. I have brought my son bowling at this facility for his birthday almost every year for the past 9 years. Not only did we all have a crap time, we spent a lot of money doing such. This place has really gone down hill. Shame

DO NOT GO HERE! Staff is incredibly rude and could not care less about customer. The lanes are broken and mess up all the scoring! We paid for 2 games and when the system shut off on us early we asked a worker for help. He got mad at us and said he would get to it. He then disappeared for 15 minutes so we gave up. While we were taking off our shoes a different worker came and started vacuuming right under us with two hours left until they close. I dont understand how they plan to run a successful business without and regard for customer satisfaction. Choose a different place to bowl.

I bowl for a league and we came down into a basement that smelled like piss and crap throughout. Before we bowled someone who was working there was using a broom with papertowels to clean the lanes and then take the Round Up weed killer and sprays the lanes with it. Dryest lanes ever as well. i throw straight and it was going from the middle arrow straight into the gutter...even when i adjusted it was still awful. DO NOT RECCOMMEND

As far as concerts go, its very easy to book a gig there because they dont take any of your income, and you can make 100% profit from your income. They have a couple PA speakers for mics, but no stage monitors (which isnt such a big deal because you can hear fine). They have fun lights also. It would be wise to bring a power strip or two. The stage is pretty small but its a fun place. Also theres a slide in the back.

This place is Awesome!!..the bar is great way to kick back and catch the CAVS!!..yeah baby!..defin not a bunch of rowdy people, its a very relaxing way to enjoy some time after work and grab a beer!!..I was actually here the other day and someone said they have a cornhole league..defin not your traditional "bowling alley" much better :)

Twenty lanes, my group is the only one bowling. Lane kept not returning our bowling balls. One of the workers decides to work on the lane next to us which involved him walking across our lane repeatedly. Another group shows up and where do they put them? On the lane on the other side of us.

The new owners who took over this week are really doing a good job. They are turning the bar into a sports bar, adding a lottery machine and serving hot wings as well as other new items on the menu. And you cant beat their prices!!!! Highly recommend

Old time under the plaza style bowling alley. Limited bumper lanes. Clean. Old scoring machines. Nice staff. Reasonably priced. Lots of kids parties on the weekend.
