SpareZ

Went there two weeks ago with family. Waited in line 15 minutes to get a lane. They had one girl working. When I finally made it to the front, a bunch of rude people stepped in front of us. I’m certain the girl at the desk saw what happened, but did nothing. I very politely told the girl what just happened and she said she was going to help them (the rude people) first. She completely snubbed us. I have an idea why we were shunned by her, but it wouldn’t be PC to say it. I told the management, and to his credit, he offered to help, which is why they get 2 stars instead of one. But, we left anyway and went to the AMF on 84. Got a lane immediately and had a good time. SparZ needs to make a personnel change.

Went to Sparez for a social event. At the beginning I was having a good time. When we began bowling, everything was good until the scores werent tallied up correctly. I would ask the employees as to why the machine was not calculating the scores appropriately, all I got was attitude and an unwillingness to help. The score issue occurred the entire night. The pizza was ok, nothing special.

Don’t have your child’s birthday party here! The party assistant assigned to our party was awful. Totally disorganized. The party started at 1. The kids were there and ready to bowl. She didn’t get them set up and turn on the lanes until 1:25. Then she had the nerve to come tell us our 45 minutes were running out! Lane the kids were bowling on jammed. Had to go find someone to fix it. Then they took their sweet time. The ultimate insult, when the bill came they added a mandatory $ 65 tip. It should be handled like a restaurant. You tip based on the service you receive. She definitely did not earn a $ 65 tip. Will not be back and will advise others not to use them either!

I’m still a fan of this place because every single time I go, I have a good time. The prices are reasonable and they open really late. The music is loud and mainstream so if you are looking for quiet, go somewhere else. The crowd can be a bit rowdy and forget some common bowling etiquette, but I’m only judging by the weekend night crowd. Go check them out and have fun.

We went on a Saturday night and it was obviously packed. We didn’t have to wait long at all to get a lane though.
The room where the bar is, legit smelled like sour cheese.
The music started off really good they had a dj from 99 jamz playing songs you hear on the radio and we were vibing but then it got progressively louder until I felt like I was at a club & all of a sudden they kept playing hardcore dancehall songs. ?
Food was ok I guess, it could’ve been the alcohol but I actually kinda liked their chicken quesadillas. Either way I’d rather hit up AMF.

This place was great! I had a great time with my family and I am definitely going to keep visiting this place! The deal on Wednesdays and Sunday’s is pretty worth it

My dad bowls here on a regular basis and when I visited on two separate occasions I observed that they treat their regulars well. Friendly service, clean bathrooms, and decent electronic scoring (This is the review he’d write if he was a Unilocaler.)

I am leaving a review based on the «hammerjacks bar & grill»… I ordered their IPA (their only IPA) and noticed floating chunks in the drink. I went to the bartender and questioned her as to why there were chunks floating in my drink… She gave me sass and told me «that’s how all IPA’s are don’t you know» … I was off put by her rude remark. I didn’t even want compensation because I didn’t even want to deal with her anymore. The people in the bar are uneducated about how the bar scene works and how to treat their customers. No wonder the whole bar was empty… I should have took that as a red flag especially on a Saturday night! Oh well, I’m happy I’m visiting as I will never return here nor suggest this place to any of my friends who live here. If you are okay with shitty service and rude employees who don’t care about the people much less their job … Then by all means come in — come one — come all! If you want actual decent service I suggest you run for the hills. I expect management to reach out to me but I highly doubt they will as the bartender said she wouldn’t get a manger and that I should probably just leave then if I don’t like the beer/​service. Again, this is mostly about the bar but he people in the bowling area weren’t even that friendly and were very condescending …

Always clean. never cheap. Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and music in the afternoons. Lots of fun for everyone. Wish they had specials on the weekends

This bowling alley does not even deserve one star. They decided to refinish about 30 of their lanes with customer in the building. The smell kept getting worse. We were on lane 31 so we where closes to the smell. The parent next to us had his two little boys. No one should be exposed to such harsh chemicals. Gave my family and I left with headaches and nose pain. We complained to the front desk, all they said was that the smell would get worse and they would be closing 1 hour earlier. They also told them that they had an inspection and had to do this. Bad management for deciding to keep the alley open and taking people money when it should be closed. We had planed to bowl at least two to three games, barely was able to finish the first game.

Was here for a kids bday party. staff was nice the bathroom and building where very clean… the chicken wings where very good. but the pizza was a little rubbery. .also noticed there was not a water fountain anywhere.

I was very disappointed. The young lady behind the counter has no customer service skills at all! Every thing we asked her was like asking her for blood! She was rude all around, even when I asked her for the remaining time in our game she had a sour face to tell me. Now, for the amount of money they charge, the place could be kept cleaner. There was pizza boxes and cups left behind all over the place, I had to ask an employee to clean up the floor on our lane from a spill of soda from a previous bowler. The bathroom was just as dirty as the outside. If you are looking for a chill bowling session for your kids don’t come on a Saturday late evening. By 8pm the place is wayyyy to crowded! It was not worth the drive… next time I will stick to the AMF in Davie.

I was excited to try sparez with my 3 year old since he enjoyed bowling the first time we went. Unfortunately I was beyond disappointed, when we arrived there was a line with a bored looking girl at the register… after paying $ 40 for 2 adults and 1 child for an hour and shoes I requested a ramp and a 6lb ball to be told they were all in use. After I informed her my 3 year old couldnt bowl without she said someone would bring them to us. 40 min later still nothing. .I tracked down an employee carrying 3−6lb balls and asked for one, he looked at me llike I was asking for $.
I asked for the table to be cleared and was handed a paper towel and cleaner, no effort to clear the glasses and trash.
I finally asked for my $ back and 15 mins later received a ramp and a ball suitable for my son. During the time we waited there were no ramps in use and people hording balls.
Halfway through the game our balls were taken so we were able to complete 1 game in an hour.
The place was filthy and the employees rude, we won’t be returning.

Sparez is HUGE and has a cool bar/​stage area for bands or private parties. We joined a league here to get know people in the area and we’re happy we did.
It’s been almost 6mos since our league began and we’re seeing a ton of upgrades & improvements being made so far. They recently re-​did all the lanes and just upgraded all the screens too. Now you’re able to «chat» aka talk trash to fellow teams from your personal screen on your table– haha fun!
Oh best part: you can add your pic to your profile so whenever it’s your turn, not only does your name light up on the big screen but so does your pretty face… you don’t have to threaten me w/​a good time!
Only thing I would upgrade is the level of service… the servers are on the slow side and so is the food (kind of pricey for a bowling alley) coming out of the kitchen.

Went bowling on a Saturday afternoon I really enjoyed was how clean and well maintained the alley was. The closest one to where we live is in boca and it smells and feels dirty. Sparez has really cool new screens where each player can take their «selfie» and it shows with your score. The guy at the counter told us to go on a Sunday and that’s when the good specials run. The only negative was the price … $ 65 for two hours, one lane, and two shoes.

This place is really dirty.
I got there early with friends. You would think the place would have been very clean, since no one had used it since the previous day, and they had had a lot of time to clean it. Sorry; no such luck.
There were smears of mysterious substances on the tables. The balls were slippery, possibly because Sparez serves wings. I found myself looking several chairs over before finding one I thought I could sit in without getting anything on my pants. One had a mashed cigarette butt resting on the seat. I wonder who sat on that later.
While we were bowling, a horrible smell caught my attention. It was the smell of mold, plus what may have been rancid oil. The kitchen had roared to life, and they were making wings and pizza.
When the food arrived at our tables, I turned it down. I was afraid I would get food poisoning. I figured the cheese had to be pretty moldy, and the frying oil was probably very old. It seemed to me that if I couldn’t trust the cheese and oil, it made no sense to assume that the wings had been refrigerated properly. I settled for a Snickers bar and a drink from the vending machines.
The restroom wasn’t too bad, which surprised me. I didn’t look in the stalls, though.
Would I go back? Sure. If I had a can of sanitary wipes with me for protection. But I wouldn’t order any food.
There is no excuse for filth.

I was here today for a company sponsored event. We had several lanes taken reserved. I want to say maybe 10 lanes or so and we had 2 hours to bowl. We had a great time.
First thing I always here about bowling lanes are the bowling shoes have bad smell and are in bad shape. Not these, they where very well kept and didn’t have any foul smell or odor. There was also a large selection of bowling balls as well from paper weight to the dumbbell size. The staff was very helpful and provided refreshments and food for us.
We had a great time thanks to the staff and Infinity Insurance Co and the Hispanic Association of Agents who hosted the event. It’s good to know proceeded went to a great cause. Not to mention we had a great time. I will be coming again.

Went there for New Years Eve. They had a New Years Eve Bash which was very affordable. The staff was very helpful, even though they did take a while to recover one of the bowling balls that we got stuck in the gutter.
This alley is laid back and extremely fun. Not too flashy, like some of the other alleys that are in Miami, but I would definitely go again and it’s very affordable to go there.
I would definitely go back and recommend others to go because I think its a great place to have family fun or even a date!

I am not a great bowler, by any stretch of the imagination, but I had a ball at SpareZ. This was actually my second time coming to this particular bowling alley & both times, I had a blast. On Friday and Saturday night at 9 pm, 99 JAMZ, is in the house; spinning the latest hits and videos. Imagine a psuedo club scene, with the laid back fun of bowling, complete with games, contests, line dancing, drinks and laughter. By the way the more $ 5 long island ice teas you consume, the more gutter balls you will bowl.
I paid $ 34 for an hour lane, for two, including bowling shoes. So it was a reasonably priced. That hour goes incredibly fast!!!
Grab a group of friends or bring the kids and family and hit Sparz!!! Your guaranteed to have a Blast!!!

A group of 5 of us wanted to go Bowling for Fathers Day and SpareZ was nearby.
It was a busy Sunday and the rate came to 10 $ per person for an hour of bowling with the Shoes. The Shoes were handed to us right away, as was the Lane we were assigned.
The Balls seemed pretty Beaten up and the Lanes worn out and the Automatic Pin Setter seemed to be a little slow.
The did have Flat Screen TV’s displaying the scores.
The Bathrooms were fully tiled I wish they put in some of that money in the ceilings in the Bowling Alley! Don’t look up!
There seemed to be a lot of families here and they seemed to be ordering the food there, there were never ending people dropping by the counter to pick up the food order.
I liked the Music here and the colors liven up the place.
Bowling is always a Fun time! Just some sprucing-​up would add more stars for sure!
