It’s loud, it’s crazy, it’s SO FUN!!! I enjoy bowling, but this is so much more. We had some wine and a couple appetizers while I destroyed my wife in bowling (snicker). It’s a bit tough to get in, so be sure to call first and make a reservation, if you can.
Mostly good for the family. I mean, there’s drinking, and semi-tightly dressed waitresses and such, but it’s really not too bad, IMHO. Our waitress was new in town and we had all these great conversations about the area. She made some perfect food suggestions and was super awesome in every way. A great place to go, I promise!
If you can bring enough people with you to book both lanes in your little booth area, I would suggest that. We shared our booth with this other group we didn’t know and they were nice and all but kept making out with each other (there were three couples) right in front of our table. Of course, our table faced their lane. A little off-putting, but not enough to not come back. Next time though, we will book in advance and make sure to bring non-make-out-in-front-of-you-type friends.

The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.
Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 39 million viewers just last month!
