This place looked old school and it was pretty old school inside too. Not the place to take a date bc this is a bowler's bowling alley. I guess you could though, if she's a bowler - then she might appreciate that it's a bowler's bowling alley. Ain't nothing fun about this place, no disco ball with strobe lights and 70's music.

Oh, poor AMF lanes on South, you look so downtrodden from the outside, if only I had taken the time earlier to stop in and actually give you a chance. (Well actually, I had, but I always end up trying to bowl on league nights)
Weekday afternoon is apparently the time to get the place to yourself, and I have to say the place is pretty clean and organized. You check in and all the balls are behind the counter with the shoes. They'll let you take more than one, but it's a little inconvenient if you aren't 100% dedicated to your choice.
The computers are older, so there are no fancy graphics when you get a strike, or a split, or a turkey. The lanes are in good shape but I swear the approach area is shorter than other lanes in town. (And I wasn't the only one who noticed this) It's probably only inches but if you have a somewhat set step as you walk up to the line, you're going to notice the difference (creatively adjusting was like a whole other fun game in itself).
Clean bathrooms, really nice staff, definitely a decent option that's close to home. -

This AMF is pretty crusty and could definitely use a face lift but it does the job.
The counter staff and waiting list are a bit chaotic and once you finally get to your lane, there's less seating than most alleys which was probably the most annoying thing about it. You also really have to hunt for the right size ball because they're scattered all over regardless of what direction the staff point in to go look.
But a few drinks into your first game you'll forget the details and end up having fun anyway because, well, it's bowling!
