Solid pro shop? ✅ Clean facility? ✅ Fair pricing? ✅ Front counter staff polite?✅ Other front counter staff rude?✅ Close to 5 stars, but some folks working the front seem legitimately upset you want to bowl and take it out on bowlers and other staffers....

Decor is a little dated but the lanes were great, score keeper easy to navigate. We didn't have any issues with the pin resetting either. Would visit again!

Seemed clean, but with junior baker teams competing visibility of competitors was at a premium.
