Its a nice place to bowl, not as busy as the other allies in the area.(which is what I like) This place is very retro which is also nice. I just wish the owners would invest into this place a little more... examples make sure your kitchen is open always on the weekends and prime time(you are missing out on $), make sure the lanes works properly, and clean the place a little better. This place could be a GEM!!! but instead it is just a nice place to go bowling as long as you dont mind the things listed above. Would LOVE to see this place get renovated but keep the retro feel!

Best bowling experience around. Good prices, friendly staff, isnt very populated during the day. Theres 24 old style wood lanes to choose from. Id prefer the ones in the 20s for best play. Yes, it may need a bit of maintenance on a couple of lanes, but doesnt mean they dont fix them. The price is what gets ya. You can get these 10 game cards for roughly $20. Thats an awesome price for 10 games! They have a few leagues going on here, but unfortunately, none that I can join. Not there fault though. Would love to see a Pro Shop in this location.

Charmingly old school, complete with snack bar (with a really really good hamburgers), change machine that kind of works and Kansas on the jukebox. Bowling is available for the younger set, and shoe rental of course is available as well. Multiple payment options include 10 game punchcards, bowl as much as you can for three hours and $1.50/game bowling. Great value too; two games, pair of shoes, hamburger/fries, and a couple of draft beers and I was out 20 bucks tops.

Great place to bowl and the price is right! They dont have the fanciest lanes or newest electronic equipment but they are all about their customers. By no means do they take advantage of their customers on the fairness of their prices of beverages or entertainment. My wife and I bowled 3 games on a Saturday night and had 2 soft drinks for about $15. Stop in and check out there all week specials.

Poor Management! Was part of a league administered by the management until this Tuesday when my partner and I were told that "someone" said that we had quit. They replaced us in the league without notice and without reason. They had no idea who this "someone", yet took their word on removing us. Would not refund any league fees or offer to reinstate us in the league.

This great old bowling alley has been in business for nearly 60 years, and is to be commended for being around so long. Its definitely old school, but has a small restaurant, bar, and the usual bowling alley fixtures. If youre into bowling nostalgia, definitely stop buy and at least visit when you have the chance. And bowl a game, too!

Its old, dirty, and all their bowling balls need to be replaced. We went on a Saturday night and there was an older woman running the grill who was rude, bitter, and angry. Terrible service. The only upside is that bowling prices are cheap so if you have your own bowling ball and shoes then youll be OK.

It was empty on Mothers Day so we were the only people there at the time.......... We were told it was one price but when we left it was double. As I said we were there alone with my family of 5 so It wasnt because he was busy and quoted the wrong price. The balls are in desperate need of an upgrade.

No frills, retro bowling lanes. My husband and I go around twice a week and always have a blast. $1.75 games on Mondays and Wednesdays. Cheap beer pitchers. Small crowds most of the time. A fun place to go and enjoy yourself with out all the added things most modern alleys have.

The cashier was in a foul mood, or just plain rude. We were pretty much the only people in there with our party. You would think a place would be happy to have customers, not upset.

Older lanes and not the newest decor, but plenty of be and a friendly staff. Good bowling, but did not have bumpers from what I saw. Would go again if in the area.

I have never paid $44 for 2 kids and 2 adults to bowl 2 games until tonight. Should have just took the family to Hendersonville family fun center.

It has had its doors open since 1960 for a good reason. Not the latest and greatest, but well managed and friendly.

Great vintage bowling alley with a neighborhood feel. Its my favorite place to bowl in Nashville.

Hannah Henney

Old bowling alley. Awesome staff! Some uneven lanes but a very good place to bowl!
