Northside Lanes

Think twice if you’re thinking about coming here on a snow day. First, my daughter called ahead to see which hours they were going to be open. The women said «We’re open from when we open to when we close.» She was greeted with a nasty attitude. When we arrived, they refused to give us a small sized ball for our smaller children. Woman actually ROLLED HER EYES and said «That size is meant for 2 year olds.» We then asked if the bumpers could be put up and she replied with the same sour attitude saying «that’s only for 11 and under». My daughter is a small 12 year old. The only bright part of the day was the nice woman working at the concession stand. I think she said her name is Shannon.

The old guy working there charged us (3 people) $ 35 for 3 games of bowling. When I told him the math didn’t add up ($ 3.75 per game) he promptly screamed in my face about how I was wrong and he was right. I told him to calm down and he still yelled at me. He then couldn’t work the card machine, so after 10 minutes of him blankly starring at the computer screen and humming old folk songs under his breath, he said «it would be easier for me if you just used the ATM», which took a $ 3 fee from my checking account. He had a bad attitude the whole time, when we walked in my friend said «how are you» and he said «I can’t wait to get the hell out of here.» If you’re considering going to this establishment you better hope this man isn’t there. It was an all around bad experience.

It is highly unfortunate that almost every weekend the past month my family and I have tried to go they have closed 1 to 2 hours early. If you have posted hours you should have to stay open to those hours that’s not fair for customers.

Went to my first birthday party there and it was awful. The parents didn’t have anything they needed. Constantly had to ask the staff for forks and so on. No one checked in on us and the balloons we were supposed to have, were out of a bag and the person just tossed about 10 on the table not blown up or anything. We waited for the food forever! The place was clean, but that’s about it.

I have been here a couple times for the occasional free bowling for SU students on Thursdays and a Breast Cancer Awareness Event as well.
I like the cool back area that has the awesome lights and music! Definitely fun to be back there with friends.
The main areas is not bad either. There are several lanes and the place has always been clean when I went. Service is meh. It depends on who is working.
Food is typical bowling and college fare. Deliciously greasy burgers, fries, hotdogs, sandwiches and a few good beers.
All in all a pretty good bowling place.

This place was fun. The cosmo bowling had great lighting, good sound and good lanes. The people in the shop were also extra helpful and cool, I couldn’t find any bowling balls that were decent enough to play with (pause) so i went in the shop and asked if they rented out any to bowl and although they didn’t, the guy offered to give me a deal on a ball I picked and use it to bowl, couldn’t complaint on actually making a deal here. The food service was a bit slow but they had a party as well ahead so it’s understandable. Lady at the counter looked beyond frustrated and was even demanding some people showing up with a tense tone what shoe size they were giving them an attitude, so she could at least work on that or not work at all, patience is virtue hun. Eventually i’ll swing by again on my drive down south but place is recommended.

Almost as good as it gets for a bowling alley. We waited about 30 minutes for two lanes for our group. The staff was friendly. The food was pretty bad… why is this normal for bowling alley’s? One day I’d like to see someone take pride in their food at one of these places. It would be so much fun to have a wood fired pizza with fresh mozzarella and a couple cold pints of a micro brew. Alas… we sank our teeth into soggy frozen pizzas and cheap beer.
The bowling was fun though. They have a ton of lanes here. Great for groups and the family.

Smokey, this is not ‘Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. Mark it zero!
Great place to go bowling. They have 40 lanes! The place looked clean and the staff was friendly. We bowled a few games and had a pizza. The pizza was not so great, but the beer was good! Shoes seemed pretty new. I don’t bowl that often but after having such a good time here, maybe I should? Good times!

Well as far as bowling alleys go its solid, I tried to redeem my Unilocal coupon for free shoes but the seasoned counter attendant said sorry sir but you need to print out this coupon on paper to redeem, sir its 2013 almost 2014, paper coupons are extinct, pls please catch up to the times, thk u

Not a bad place if you and a group of friends are bored and want to hang out one night! plus, i got an awesome Unilocal coupon which allowed me to go in for free!
