Actually seems like a decent idea, but $14 for one game and shoes on Saturday night is ridiculous. Dranks better be cheap.12/16/2010 11:38:45 AM |

I could see going there for date night... go have dinner, a couple drinks, bowl a game, and have another couple of drinks
the menu looks good, and the prices seem pretty reasonable. 12/16/2010 11:58:57 AM |

the place is awesome... i went there for their soft opening (see bowling with Russell Wilson) the food was awesome the beer selection was awesome the walk up area to the lane's (we were at a private bowling suite) was short but i don't know if that is the same for all lanes or just the private ones. They ran out of size 13 shoes so either there were a lot of big footed people there or some of you 11s were snagging big boy shoes to impress the ladies.
The tables near the bar had a touch screen in them and you could hook up your own music to the table's stereo, you could also download/upload pictures onto the screen and play the $1 bar games for free on them too.
Really its somewhat expensive for bowling but its also a really awesome place and completely worth it.
We were served some Hors d'Ĺ“uvres that were fillet Mignon on crackers with Gorgonzola cheese they were awesome! 12/16/2010 12:20:02 PM |

chances are if they had Russel there, they had other athletes, and thus other larger than average men who needed boat shoes. I wear 13's too, and bowling shoes look rediculous in that size... I'm thinking of buying my own again, just so I don't have to rent them and so they don't look so goofy12/16/2010 12:21:55 PM |

i had them when I was a kid and did a league with my dad... but I grew out of those, and haven't really gotten back into bowling since. My dad gave me a ball, I just need to have the finger holes re-drilled (they can do that, right?)- and I remember shoes being only like 35 bucks

$10 to bowl one game and get shoes and $8 a game after is highway robbery.
AMF at Crossroads is $5 all you can bowl after 10pm on Tuesdays, that's where I go every week.
