Extremely sketchy, ran-down bowling alley. When you first turn in to park, there isnt even a sign and the place looks shut down. Half of the lanes were closed down and piled up with chairs, couches, and other stuff. The bathrooms felt like something in a dive bar. The lanes were terribly crooked and the balls had so many nicks and tears in them. I asked for size 8 shoes and he gave me one 8 and one 8.5, both of which had soles coming off, missing eyelets, and frayed laces. The owner acted like he was high or drunk and smoked about half a pack right in between the entrance doors right beside us. Stay far, far away from here.

I wouldnt even give it one star but it wouldnt let me leave it blank. within the first game it tore up 3 of my new balls. I pulled my 2 more expensive ones and the spare ball that cost $50 received 3 large gashes out of it. I told the manager on duty and got the finger point to the letter of " They are not responsible any more and will not replace or fix any damage. I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN and if any of my friends ask I will steer them to a place thats not 200 years old.

Kiana my great ancestor went there today on a field trip with her project life group from butler tech and everything seemed fine except for how worn out the place was you definitely can feel the age and how long its been around for but there was this one part during the outing where you could smell smoke coming from the kitchen so dont know if that was because the cooks messed up on purpose or if it was because of bad maintenance to the kitchen appliances!

Well, majority of these reviews are spot on! The equipment is GARBAGE, it should be VACANT, and the owner was/is (a) drunk, the restrooms are DISGUSTING! Can it get worse?? Yes! They did not ask for I.D. the first time we ordered beers, but literally EVERY and i mean EVERY time after, they asked for I.D...i mean wtf. We were the only ones there!!! That place will be shut down in no time.

This was THE worst bowling experience I have EVER had, BAR NONE! Shoes were in terrible condition (cracked, frayed, falling apart). Plastic chair seating (no fixed seating). Ball return chewed up my ball and that is when it would actually return my ball. Save yourself the aggravation and go somewhere else. Pricing was also way too high for the conditions.

Only two beers on tap! We bowled two games and had to be switched between 3 lanes because they kept breaking! The bathrooms were disgusting the owner was drunk. The only positive was the owner felt so bad about the lanes breaking down that he gave us a free pitcher of beer. Next time well be driving to JD legends in Franklin

This was literally the worst maintained business ive ever been to. I honestly dont think its a safe place for kids or anyone for that matter to be in. They had zero heat and half the alley looked like a cave it was so dark. If they cant provide light or heat what makes you think their checking the safety of the building?

$2.50 per game free shoe rental (just show college ID) I think it is a buck or 2 otherwise $5 pitcher beer Cant beat that around here. Place is a little dated, but then again you are bowling in Hamilton!. They seem to always have a lane open, never had to wait.

Absolutely terrible place to go. Almost any place would be better. No heat and its winter? How does that work? None of the lights were working and i literally had to use the restroom in the dark. I live half a mile from there and would rather drive fairfield.

Horrible employees and service, have seen mice running around on multiple visits. Most of the lanes are broke down. Owner or manager gets wasted drunk while working All around just a horrible business.

This is an lley for kids birthday parties. The facilities were subpar. Great for kids horrible for adults. Lanes were not properly oiled. Equipment was worn out. Staff was friendly.

Andrew Stein

Just wasted time and money at this dump. Lanes were crooked and balls were greasier than the owner. Owner seems like a drunk. If you are coming to drink go to a real bar.
