I went to East Providence Lanes for pool game with several friends about two or three months ago. I gave them my drivers license as guaranty when we came in. After the game I paid and requested the return of my ID, but they couldnt find it and then decided to give another costumers (a girl) ID to me, hoping I wont find out. Its ridiculous. Then it turns out that they have already given my ID to another person who left earlier. They promised to find it but it has been several months without hearing from them. I have to renewed my ID with extra expenses. Also I couldnt drive for a long time. My friends and I also called them and went back to this store several times but they never found it. And from the beginning no one there have even ever apologized. The "manager" shrugged his shoulder and told me "this kind of things happen". Another guy told me "just drive carefully if you dont have your license". Keep distance from this place.

I wanted to write a more recent review for this place as all the others seem to be at least 6 months old. We are not from here, I bought a Groupon and then read the Google reviews. I definitely became a little alarmed. Well, I can assure you, this place is great!! Its clean, the staff is super friendly, and I am totally not concerned about anyone breaking into my car. It was my family, some teens, and what seems to be some other families on the other side of the teens. No one is cursing or swearing. I havent encountered any undesirable customer service or managers. I dont know if the complaints for this place come from bitter locals or people who have had disagreements with the owner, but if you want a place to go for some affordable family fun with great customer service, this place will do. As far as the snack bar is concerned, the food is typical bowling alley food. This isnt a 5 star restaurant!

To all the BOWLERS in the Providence and surrounding areas: AVOID EAST PROVIDENCE LANES AT ALL COSTS!!! The manager (everyone tolerates) is clueless (double standards, I have seen him NOT oil his set of lanes for his league one night so that he could bowl better), the manager is NOT taking care of the lanes as they are extremely dry (which he favors), floors are sticky from drinks and ALL the Leagues numbers are down (guess the owners dont care about their business going defunct. AND so much for caring about the bowlers of the leagues as EVERYONE is complaining about the lanes and the manager and apparently the owners DONT CARE! DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

Used to go here very often as a kid, but the place has changed drastically since then. Ive been back a few times on the weekend for bowling, and the experience is usually not so great. The price for bowling is pretty expensive unless you go during off-hours; the equipment like the shoes and balls all seem very worn; and more often than not the crowd coming from the bar and billiards area can be a little unsavory at night, which can sometimes ruin the bowling experience. This place on the weekend evenings has become more like a seedy bar than a bowling alley.

An excellent bowling alley! One of the best Ive seen in a long time - with ambient lighting and neon/black lights as well depending on the time of day. The lanes also feature video screens for music videos when music is being played through the building. There are options for food and drink, including vending machines as well. Pricing is fairly decent given the area and its a rather popular place.

Was there for over an hour while the obnoxious group of people were screaming and swearing at every single throw while I had my five year old. After my hour was up I returned my shoes and discussed my visit with the staff who was very appologetic. They called the manger over to have me explain my experience with him. I told him and he blew me off and let me leave pissed off. Will never return!

1 star because zero is not an option. I guess it deserves the one star for cool layout in a wide variety of Entertainment and activities, bowling is terrible though! It takes 22 seconds to set up the pins after each ball, count that in your head and you realize just how long that is, not to mention theres not a single ball in that place with finger holes large enough for an adult

Not a bad place to watch drug dealers being stupid and selling drugs in the open or for all the fights wait no the best is going to your car at the end of you night and your window is smashed and your stereo is gone but hey i ordered a soda and was given a beer oh yea i was 19 at the time my kids wont be going! and neither should you

Clean facilities, fun arcade games, and a great afternoon of bowling! Got an amazing deal on Groupon for 2hrs bowling+ $10 arcade card. Definitely looking forward to going back soon. I couldnt find any 7lb bowling balls (my picky favorite) and the music/lyrics at times wasnt the most PG, but overall great experience.

The service absolutely sucks. Got ignored at the bar and the window for said bar was slow. I ordered a cheese pizza, fries and a large Pepsi and it took them over 40 minutes to get it to me after being told it would only take 15. The lanes are good but Id recommend pregaming before you get here. Not happy at all.

Great value during off hours. Good bar. The snack bar looks like its from a 70s/80s teen film, but some of the food is pretty good. Avoid the desserts. I enjoy the arcade games after a couple games of bowling. They have billiards. They also have musical events. I havent tried either myself, but I will

Been going there for 18 years had a lot of good times my wife and i till last night watchind tv when mr i run eveything here baldy just comes and puts on what he wants going to loose a lot of money and custermers lf they keep him very rude and unplesent

Brianna Wilson

The bar tender was disrectpul and rude. Her custom service for her mistake was plain disrespectful. Needs to learn to slow down and dont get overwhelmed and maybe she wouldnt have let 3 people that order not pay. Will never come back

Debra Parent

The bowling is okay as they charge by the hour so you have to rush through your games. They have an arcade that is fun for kids but you need so many tickets to get a prize it costs a fortune

Atmosphere - Clean/awesome DJ Bar - Great beer selection Food - waited 40 mins for 3 items Service - Horrible service and very rude staff. The manager however was very kind.

What you would expect from a bowling alley but they dont seem to keep the lanes in good condition and theres usually punk kids everywhere

Been coming here for years terrific Lanes & nice people . You and your family will enjoy a nice time bowling or sing karaoke in the bar.
