“Pretty neat spot to come and bowl, they also have a good selection of arcade games, driving/game simulators and claw machines, pool tables & mini golf upstairs! They have plenty of choices for snacks and drinks, as-well as some in house delivery deals for local food outlets. Reasonably priced for a round of bowling & everything is kept nice, clean & fresh.”
