Had a blast watching my friends and family bowl. They had fun, and everyone enjoyed the atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, and the dirty sodas and flavored lemonade are delicious. They only bowled 1 game and rented shoes and it wasn't unreasonable at all. Definitely recommended! Will be back soon...
