Been here plenty of times. Lanes are good and service is great. Definitely 5 stars due to the great service I got from the pro shop manager. He was very knowledgable and very helpful. I will definitely stop by for all my bowling needs. They also have a section by the bar that has pool tables that are in pretty good shape. Definitely recommend this place.

Very rude staff at the bowling counter. I have been going to this place for years but was very insulted by a staff member who told us we had only twenty minutes to bowl because of birthday parties. I understood her concern, but her attitude is what made me decide not to return to this bowling place.

When you work for a Level I Trauma Center in the operating room, it can get just a LITTLE intense (read: understatement). So what do stressed-out OR nurses do??? THEY BOWL!!!
Actually, they drink first, then bowl....or drink AND bowl. But anyway...
I phoned first to see how easy it would be to get a lane. Since they just finished league bowling, we were able to get two lanes pretty easily. The shoes and balls were in good condition. Scoring system is updated. It's a family friendly place - but also great for a Girls' Night Out (which is why I was there).
As for pricing, I'm not sure what the standard is, so I can't comment. I think I only spent $14 on the bowling/shoe rental, but we had a big group.
We didn't try the food since we came here after dinner.
Overall, it's a great place to blow off some steam. I'll definitely be coming back! Hopefully, next time I'll be able to beat my high score of 87. Ha! -

Arena is the correct word to describe this place. This place is gargantuan. They have a huge lounge, 40+ lanes of bowling, full service cafeteria style restaurant, a game room, and rooms reserved for parties. The first time I was in here, I almost got lost. The place is very new, so all the shoes and balls are in relatively good conditions. The lanes are pristine and well oiled. The scoring system is modern and top of the line. Even with three leagues going on while I was there, there was still ample room for open bowling. Yeah, it's all new and clean, but the prices are much higher than other local, smaller lanes. For two people for two games and shoe rental it was almost $20.

We came here for a party for our flag football team. When we were here, we ordered bunch of drinks and some pizzas for the whole crew. The pizza wasn't anything special but the bartender was very friendly and helpful. However, I thought the drinks were a little pricey for a bowling alley. The bowling lanes themselves tended to get very crowded when we where here, which was on a Saturday night. This location closes at midnight but I heard of other locations that stay open later. Overall, a decent experience for bowling, and no riff raff like the Homewood location!

I was around with my high school friends when I went here. I had absolutely no idea those lane conditions were very oily, but I'm happy with that. my 2 best scores here are 157 & 147. The game room is pretty nice. I'd say it was a bitter shame they don't have laser tag, which I enjoy a lot, so I rest my case on that info. The pizza & pop here is very mouth-watering in my opinion. One of my friend's grandma paid for it all, which sounds like Lady Generous to me (I made the "Lady Generous" up just so you know how it feels.) You should come and bowl here for the fun, taming the very oily lanes, and beat whatever your score is. I give it 4 stars here on Yelp. But on Yahoo! Local, I only awarded Brunswick Arena Lanes 3 stars.
