EXTREMLY OVERPICED JUST DOESNT EXPLAIN THIS PLACE! OUR LANEs COST A COLLECTIVE $250.00 FOR 2 LANES for 1 1/2hr!!!! A terrible place for family to enjoy themselves! They do NOT have beer buckets we spent $60 on 12 beers that came in a bucket together BUT sold separately, why even have a bucket of beer!!! We spent over $500 in 1 1/2hrs as a group(9), our waitress only came around when it was time to order or if we asked her too! The food was OK, nothing special; our burgers were really greasy WITH under seasoned fries. We questioned the manager about the price and he acted like he would just rather call cops then work with us, how funny! The fried quail was undercooked; the pretzel was super salty with a side a super salty honey mustard, their fondue was good, sadly thats it. Will never come here again! UNLESS YOUR READY TO SPEND 500.00 IN AN HOUR ON BAD FOOD & ATTITUDES, DONT COME HERE!.

I had booked a company event here for a Sunday evening. I had been to other bowling places before but never had I received service like this. The woman, Kris (i think it was short for Kristen) who helped with my check in and assigning the shoes & people to each lane was so accommodating and patient as I dealt with late-comers and unexpected surprises. The other workers, Tony, Keith, and Alex were also just as patient and always checking up on us. Everyone was so attentive and most of all - in their service they were happy to be doing what they were doing. I will definitely come back with friends and family. And also my bartender, Tommy was very sweet and helpful in helping myself and my coworkers pick a drink. Thank you all so much!

Im on the fence with a star rating for this location. (2/3) Awesome in concept, poor in execution. Drinks are ok-whilst bowling had to indulge myself in a white Russian, because lebowski. Decent flavor but a lot of ice. The price was quite steep, and the places to eat are limited especially while you bowl. Sharing a very low coffee table to eat with another couple was somewhat odd behavior for a date. Also, Im terrible at bowling but the pins on strings helped out by knocking pins over I wouldnt have normally hit. Im neutral on this, as the set up time goes quick, but the actual skill is effected.

Terrible food. Bowling was mediocre. The pins are connected to strings, it makes the game bowl very strangely. Not like a real bowling alley. Charcuterie plates are like McDonalds versions of charcuterie plates They were out of not one or two of their draft beers, but ALL of them... They had none... On freaking Memorial Day. There was two people in the place and still the bathrooms were entirely out of toilet paper and paper towels.... Not worthwhile to spend your money. Especially since one hour of bowling for your and you significant other will cost you 43 dollars plus drinks/food

Honestly, I couldnt give it any stars because my family couldnt enjoy a single second of bowling. I called for a reservation and after showing up and waiting 15 minutes after our reservation we were told that the folks on our lane were having trouble paying their bill and we had to wait even longer. We decided to not wait and leave. As soon as we left we counted the number of lanes open and we seen 5 lanes not in use. They just didnt want to serve us, thats fine, just tell us before hand so we dont have to waste our time on a business that doesnt care...

Bar & food service was superb & food prices reasonable. Selection excellent. Frequent problem with the pins on the 2nd ball. These pins are reset by attached strings on the head of each pin. The very annoying problem was accuracy. Very often a pin was knocked down with the 1st ball but was reset standing on the second. If you are going someplace for bowling vs 1st food with bowling on the side this is the WRONG place. If you want food/drinks with a little bowling on the side, this is ok.

Ive been in Bowl &Barrel several times but the experience I had last week was deserving of a review. I was celebrating a special occasion with a coworker and e had a great time! B&B posted pictures for us, brought out champagne and overall made it a great day for her. Bravo! The food was wonderful - never skip the warm pretzel. The bartenders also know how to make a good cocktail. I tried a new one and have a new favorite summer drink. Great place for a birthday party or date.

Located in upscale area, and better suited for very small groups of people (8 max allowed at one lane). Paid for drink at bar with cash, bartender decided to tip himself with what should have been returned in change (couple dollars). He most likely would have received it anyway, however, found it extremely rude he took payment and never bothered to return with change, or even state "Ill return with your change" which would have allowed me the opportunity to TELL him he could keep it.

Booked B&B, seemed like it would be a great place to hold a team event. We had lunch, which we all enjoyed. Waited around till our contracted bowling time. When that time came our lanes were not ready. The previous group was still there. We, group of 40, waited around for about 30 more mins till our lanes were cleaned and ready to go. 30 mins of waiting around is ridiculous when you have a contract that states different. Good food, bad service.

way overpriced, this place isnt for bowlers its for the food, decor, and location maybe. we didnt eat so I cant comment on that. it was $30 for two of us to bowl for an hour on a Tuesday when they were dead and thats before shoe rentals. the pins are attached by strings which streamlines the process but occassionally messes with the game. its nice but $9 wells is bit much. service wasnt a problem but we were literally the only people in there.

I came here for a date and was very impressed with the whole experience. Typical bowling alleys are old and smelly, but this place is decorated well and has good food. The waiters were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food was tasty. Most of the other patrons were there in big groups from work or other clubs, but it was not too loud. Great experience, will go back

Super fun retro bowling alley mixed with a bar and restaurant! Did not try their food, but they have a great deal on sets of beers, and its fun that they serve drinks at the lanes. The lanes have a very cute retro feel to them, and the music is fun. A great atmosphere! A little expensive at $25 for 30 minutes, but the atmosphere is worth it.

We had a big party, but food and drink service was still good. Minor issues with the lane and going over time, but they handled it well. Definitely stay and go to the bar after bowling. The parking garage entrance is right by Bowl & Barrel so its very easy to get in and out.

I had a good time eating and bowling until we noticed that we were eating off of a plate that had old gum on the bottom. The service was slow and no one seemed to really know what to dominate could he a fun place to hangout if they can fix their problems.
