So me and a few friends decided to bowl here and we had asked the women that had glasses if we could have bumpers but she told us we couldnt have them. Like really lady we dont bowl. We dont wanna pay 10$ so we can throw our balls in the gutter. Other people had asked for help with there lanes and she was just really rude to them. She was putting out a bad vibe, she looked like she didnt wanna be there. Also the music playing was really depressing, it must have been her playlist. Plus the girls bathroom was disgusting. A toilet was filled with blood and toilet paper, looked like it hadnt been cleaned in a couple weeks. Horrible experience, never going back.

The staff are friendly and always quick to help, but the software is a little hard to figure out the first time around. The score-keeping equipment and software is also pretty old-school and very out of date compared to most other bowling alleys Ive been to in the past 10 years. This can be a positive or a negative depending on your preferences. The shoes seemed very slippery compared to other bowling shoes, and I heard one other person complaining about this. Everything is well-maintained though and the music selection was great (at least when I went there on Saturday night).

I love this place. My job comes here almost every Thursday for our event night and its always a blast. The staff... Is polite. But quiet. We always end up showing up around 9:30 and get the night of bowling for 10 bucks. Not bad deal. The only thing that sucks is that even though they close at 2am they quit serving food and drinks at 10 or 11. But other than that good :) 10x better than town & country and 100x better than firebird lanes.

Its not my type of bowling ally, Everything is retro yes that is cool for some people, but not for me and my girl. 2 hours cost 40 bucks, at Town and country its 20 bucks for 2 hours. It cost us for one game 14 bucks with shoes. Most of the Score displays are burned and their computers are not even Y2K Compatible lol. Yes the staff is cool but not the ally for us. T&C FTW

Wanted to give this place a try but boy I regret coming! My kids werent allowed to do anything. One old guy keep coming up to my kids and telling them to set down! Like really! The whole point I came was for my kids and they are not allowed to have fun. This same old guy has a vey ugly attitude as well, not plesent.

Northgate is my familys destination for Sunday morning fun! Love the throwback to 1968! Lanes are fine, family friendly and priced right. What more could you want in a bowling alley? Tiffany is always helpful, and George In the pro shop is a stand up guy. I suggest giving them a try.

had a great time with my boys. The folks at the counter were very helpful with my disabled son. They helped find me a ramp for him to use and put the bumpers down. We all had a good time and my son loved the experience. Thanks to the staff for all of their patience and support!

Safe place to bring children or any age group to. Great food, clean, games, video games, bowling, excellent staff teammates with great skills and awareness for your childs safety and they keep a look out for individuals who are not safe here and handle with them properly

Lanes seemed fairly good. Very small place, definitely outdated scoreboards, using old CRT monitors, no TVs. They did have handicap bowling assistant things though which was nice to see and the staff was super nice!

This place is a tripping hazard. Do you really need that much oil????????!!!!!!!! Impossible to hook the ball at all. It just spins in place.

Looks more dated than retro, this bowling alley is a gloomy looking place but if you can look past that its a great bowling experience
