My second visit to Brunswick and the experience was as good as the first one. I see a pattern here. :-)
The lanes/games are priced at $24.99 per hour per game, which is decent. The shoe rental is, I believe, under $4 for adults. They have good selection of food and drinks (beers). We tried the Nut Brown beer on tap and it was really good.
They have plenty of lanes and the place is huge for Blaine. Service is friendly. Parking is never a problem. -

Great place for bowling...Been to 2 of their locations so far. Grab some friends and some pitchers of beer and you are good to go...Not many specials on a Sat evening except if you are willing to stay after 11PM when its gets to be unlimited bowling till 2 AM. Prices are fine except that their shoe rental is on the expensive side ($3.49 per rental).

Let me preface by saying that I'm not a great bowler. I'm more of a launcher as in tossing the ball with a bounce down the lane. Not a fan of the shoes, but no choice there. Normally, I probably wouldn't even bowl,but the kids wanted to see how I rolled
Lucky for us that the kiddos picked this place and lucky that Space Aliens is closed. That place just looked awful to have to spend time at.
Bowling is fairly reasonably priced and even cheaper with the online coupons. However, being inundated with their constant coupon busters is a tad annoying at times.
They have lazer tag that the kids loved. We had a coupon for unlimited lazer tag, a few frames and a slice of pizza.
Food is decent and what I would expect for amusement type food.
They have an arcade with a few amusing video games and a little prize center to go redeem the tickets.
It's a pretty good sized place, and a nice place to take kids for the day.Listed in: What's there to do?, "Up North"

Questionable food and astronomically bad service for food and drinks.
I play pool in a league and the Brunswick is in our rotation. Last night was the first night I have ever been to the place and unfortunately, it won't be the last.
We grabbed a table in the bar and looked around for a waitress. After 15 minutes we asked the bartender if there was a waitress in our area. "No."
We ordered 2 different chicken wraps with fruit from the bar and sat back down at our table (10 feet in front of the bar). After 30 minutes I asked the bartender where our food might be. Apparently sitting under a heat lamp in the kitchen. The fruit was excellent. My Crispy Chicken Wrap was missing the chicken. Literally.
I wanted a coffee but you can't get coffee from the bar with the rest of the food and drinks. You have to go to the snack counter in the bowling alley for coffee...
Later in the evening the bartender was clearing some tables in the bar. We asked if she could bring us beer... "No. You have to order from the bar."
Urgh... There must have been 40 people spread out around 8 pool tables and zero chance of a waitress. What's wrong with this picture? -

I have been here twice and both times I brought coupons. You can get coupons on the website or in the local ad circulars and it is a way better price for bowling. It is especially fun if you go on a cosmic bowling night. Just make sure you don't have a linty shirt on or the black lights will pick that up (it won't impress your date).
It seems to be very busy here and there tends to be waiting for a free lane. Although, if you do have to wait they can give you a buzzer and you can go to the bar section and get some snacks or whatever you'd like.
There are a few things that stand out about this bowling alley:
*There is a couch side with lanes and a table side with lanes and you have to be prepared to make that decision. Couch or table? Couch or table?!?
*The servers carry your bowling shoes to the table (yes, the waitress who carried your smelly bowling shoes just delivered your nachos).
*If you don't hurry up and buy more games before you are finished with your purchased games, they might resell your lane to a new party before you are done. This happened to me ("Why are these people with bowling balls standing and staring at us? Oh, clearly we have taken too long finishing up what is now our last game.")Listed in: North Burbs, y'all

Brunswick Zone is an...interesting place. We went for a nontraditional evening of bowling and laser tag as a double date. When we arrived there were plenty of kids running around playing the video games etc. It was crowded, but not packed.
I'll do a line item review.
-Service was okay. The woman was surly until she remembered me from when I was 6.
-Bowling was good, but really, really loud. Speakers were close to the lanes.
-Laser tag was fun. That's about it.
-They always have coupons. Don't go without one.
-Better feeling overall than Gameworks.
-The late night crowd is...well, drunk. Plan accordingly, it is a bar as well.
I had fun. I think that's the point. -

Fairly priced if you print off coupons!

Clean, fun and reasonably priced. Best part is that you order up your game and shoes at the front desk and then someone brings everything to you at your lane(s). Then if you want to add food, drinks, or another game to your tab, you can do that from your lane with the host that is assigned to your lane(s).
Go online and sign up for coupons. They send them out pretty frequently and you can get BOGO games or a game for $1.99.
Great place to bring kids too. Best part is that it's non-smoking! -

This review is only for their tater tots laden with bacon, chives and cheese. Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting anything but that ended up being a highlight of my night. I don't know how they did it but the bacon and chive taste seemed to be infused in the tater tots. So good with my pint of Lienen's Honey Weiss!! Go get some now!

Cheap bowling in a new facilityy. Good drinks - try the long island iced tea with Midori. The crowd was a mixture of young couples, groups of teens and families with young and old children. When we finished our bowling we went into the arcade and played some shooting games for a while before we went into the bar and grabbed a bacon cheeseburger. Food was good. Would go back again. Great place for people looking to bring their children as well as a fun date night.
