We just had a lasertag party there for a 10 year old girl. The experience was fantastic comparatively.
On a five star scale, Id rate most teenage workers a 1 or 2. Id rate most adults a 2. I have pretty high standards. So when I say that our teenage party coordinator (I forget her name but in case the owner is reading: long dark hair and ran our 1:30 party on Sat, May 28, 2011) was a solid 4 that means a lot. She was friendly, helpful, and extremely attentive. I never had a problem finding her when she wasnt in the room and she was quick to answer all of our questions or help when needed. I was impressed.
The lasertag area was well done. Black lights gave it a surreal feel, and colored jackets for team play made it a good cooperative experience. They had plenty of sniper positions and walls set in a mazelike pattern allowing movement to play a proper role. And the fog machine gave the experience a nice touch. Ive never done lasertag before so I dont know if its normal that you sometimes have to remain on target for a few seconds for it to pickup, but on 1 out of 4 shots that was the case. The room wasnt huge, but it was more than I expected for a bowling alley.
My biggest complaint is that they didnt get our names so the lasertag scorecards were mostly useless. This is too bad as it would have been a fun way to work a little discussion about math and discussions into the evening activities with the kids. Besides, my partner and I want to know who thwomped the other the most thoroughly. ;)
They had some rules they were willing to bend to accommodate us, and they were pretty laid back about making sure it was a good time. Pizza was included and the kids seemed happy with it. They had candles for the cake after we forgot them, which I really appreciated. And most of the gaming and bowling area seemed clean and well taken care of. I dealt with one or two other workers there and there was a mix; some of the other teenage staff seemed singularly unimpressive, but as the staff we worked with the most were great our experience wasnt negatively impacted too much.
All in all Id recommend. Theres certainly room for improvement, especially by my standards, but from what Ive seen of others expectations of businesses Legacy Lanes would be a definite five-star experience for most.

This ENTIRE experience was terrible, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we were treated like we were an inconvenience to every single person we came into contact with. My husband and I met two other couples here on a Saturday night. I called ahead to see of we could reserve a lane in their boutique bowling area and I was told it was first come first serve. When we arrived, we asked how long the wait was and were told there were parties at each lane and they wouldnt be over until after 11 pm and handed a pager. We were ok to wait, since there is a restaurant, full bar, and kareoke. We had terrible waitress service, since she was working the bar and waiting tables. The food was cold, wrong, and the kitchen couldnt even make a simple turkey club sandwich (which is on the menu). We NEVER got paged for a lane, even after checking in with the front desk twice, and lanes were open. When we finally had enough of being completely ignored, we handed in our pager and thanked the person at the front desk for such terrible service, to which he rolled his eyes in my face. When I asked him if I could speak to a manager, he said he was the MANAGER! Enough said!!!! I will never waste another penny or hard earned night out at this trash filled establishment!

Today was my first day at Legacy Lanes and I loved it! The food is pretty good at concession. They even have Pink Lemonade! I love the Retro look of this place the furnishings, the carpet, and the Pittsburgh decor over the lanes is amazing! The Restaurant is also very nice. I had a great time bowling and this place is very nice. It is clean and pretty affordable. I want to go again! They even have a Pro Shop so make sure you check that out if your existing equipment needs some help. Or, if you need new equipment they will have it. Check out some trophies and other interesting goodies in the Pro Shop as well. So much to do and see here!

Have been turned away for bowling three consecutive times now. We bought the Amazon Local deal and since they have my money already, they apparently dont care about us. The "tournaments" and "leagues" that were supposed to be bowling werent there when we walked in, and we were only told that they were "coming in." The last time we were there (12/28), we were actually told by the 17 y/o kid working there that they didnt "have any lanes available for the Amazon Local coupon." If I ever actually get to use this voucher, Ill never come here again.

Bowling Alley is amazing. Very well maintained. Staff was very attentive. The guy working the desk helped us out a lot by helping us put our names in. The snack bar was clean. Tables were clean too. Ordered some food from the Crafthouse (bar/restaurant attached to legacy) and it was awesome. Prices are good too. Will definitely be back in the future.

Old dude behind the bowling counter is a prick consistently acts like the customers owe him something, really unfortunate we were forced out because he wanted to "go home" 1 hour before posted closing time .... Questionable if Ill be back to bowl On the other note the bar side of this place is bad ass and highly addictive!

My friends and I showed up to enjoy a night of bowling only to told by the old man behind the counter that although they say they close at 11 we would only get to bowl once. We were kicked out promptly after our one and only game at 9:30. Not impressed and we will not be coming back.

Staff is rude, bathrooms are not well mantained. Wanted a beverage from the cafe could not be served because stuff was under 21 had to wait for someone over 21 to show up. Tables at lanes are not cleaned after the person in front of your party is done bowling. Would not recommend

GREAT bowling alley! Ive been bowling almost 13 years and this is by far THE BEST bowling alley ive been to! You are treated very well, the lanes are nice, and theres a great atmosphere for all people! I would absolutely recommend this bowling alley to everyone!

Very new and modern bowling alley. Decor is very nice, everything is very clean and modern. But they only have 24 lanes, and it does fill up with leagues and parties. Its also on the pricey side compared to other bowling alleys.

I came from out of town to bowl and found the lanes to be very clean and well kept. The staff was amazing as well. We had a great time and will recommend our friends to come to these lanes if they want to have fun.

Legacy Lanes is the WORST PLACE EVER!!!! I called and made reservations to bowl and laser tag but when I got there they said it was all closed or already reserved for someone else. They lie and are untrustworthy.
