    I will go ahead and admit it: I absolutely suck at bowling. My best score was only a 155. But I still enjoy it. Mainly due to the company that I am with rather than the game itself.

    I started bowling for the first time back in 2006 when I was at Meridian, Mississippi during my time at "A" school for the Navy. Since then, despite my mediocre scores, I've always enjoyed it. It really is a nice way to spend quality time with friends and family and just have fun.

    While bowling is the primary focus at this facility, they also have pool tables here, arcade games, a bingo hall, a bar to have some alcoholic drinks along with television sets, a pro shop, and a little food joint.

    There are lots of lanes but on Friday and Saturday nights it can be crowded. The food here is good, although it sucks that you can't have free refills with your drink. The mixed drinks at the bar are usually weak. Stick with beer. And there is a shop where you can purchase some of your outdoor goods as well as your personal bowling equipment. Not to mention they also have free wi-fi here as well.

    Nice place to spend a Friday or Saturday night. This is like the only place on base where you can drink so if you live on base that will spare you the risk of getting a DUI. I just wish they would have Cosmic bowling every night like they did at the bowling alley in Japan.

    I had a great time, more so because of the company rather than the actual place. We played some pool and then hung out at the bar while the game was going.
    The drinks are like juice! I mean seriously one strong drink can get me tipsy and three strong drinks can get me drunk... I had 5 drinks and barely felt a thing!!!! Though how can you complain when the mixed drinks are only three bux. I would have been better off buying shots.

    It's definitely a place though to bring the fam. Lots of lanes, pool tables, arcade games, bar and a small food court. There are definitely options here, so because of that I will say it's a good place to hang out on base.

    Great place to bowl and have a few drinks and shoot pool. Great that it's on base so if I decide to "drink it up", I can walk back to my apartment on base. Bowling itself is fun. Gets crowded on weekends. I go when I know it might not be too crowded.

Map location is approximate. Help us map it!
