The food at Bites and Brews was great! We had the spaghetti special on a Wednesday evening. Service was amazing and attentive. We also enjoyed the "Happy Hour" in the arcade with half price games!! Ages 11, 7, and 5 were entertained well over 2 hours!!
We recently had my son?s Birthday Party here and our host was Hayden. It was amazing. Hayden was very kind and veryyy easy to work with. My son and his friends had a blast! A room full of kindergarteners is a lot to handle but it was handled with grace and patience! Would definitely recommend them for a birthday party and absolutely recommend Hayden as a host!
Probably the most fun place in the Johnstown Area to take your family.
We held my son?s 6th birthday party here. It was SO EASY, all inclusive and FUN! All we had to bring in were cupcakes. The arcade has so much for the kids to do and they enjoyed laser tag. The food was brought out hot, fresh and on time (pizza, chicken, fruit and veggies - all excellent!) We were assigned our own host to help us with anything we needed. Maddie was so helpful and attentive! We will definitely be back next year and will support this business moving forward!
One of the best Arcades I've been to in Pennsylvania. 814 Lanes and Games Johnstown PA. The service was outstanding from the restaurant to the customer service desk. New machines and an awesome selection of games. A fantastic place to go with family/ friends. We had a blast! They even have laser tag, escape rooms and bowling. We will be back to do the rest as we got caught up in arcades and didn't have time to do the rest. This place is large and stays open late as well, so whatever your schedule you can be
Love it. Clean, comfortable & fun environment. The staff is professional. The pricing for bowling & food are reasonable. Speaking of food, the burgers are juicy goodness. I enjoyed my classic medium with American cheese & onions after a few games. Husband & I go here few times a year. ??
What a great combination of activities! We did the escape room and failed terribly. Laser tag was also really fun!!
Well I was excited to bring my friends to 814. The food was good the last time I had it but not this time I payed 16 dollars for the worst Mac and cheese I have ever had. The cheese was like water and definitely cold all over. My friends food didn't look too bad but mine was not good at all I won't be back plus an added bonus I bought a 25 dollar game card but ever game in the game room was half broken so still have 18dollars on a card I will never use. I don't send back food I just don't come back.
I signed up for the bowling pass, my first visit was pleasant. Today was a different story not only did I experience racism from a customer but also from an employee, found out his name was Armani a mixed guy. He was rude and disrespectful, I spoke to the manager about him and he brushed it off, so I asked for the owners info, I will be reaching out to them as well because I spent a lot of money there from arcade, to food and bowling . So this is unacceptable!!!
Fun place! Can't wait to go back.
Fun games and laser tag. Two different escape rooms, did the 30 minute one and got out with almost 6 minutes left. Was a fun time with buddies and kids.
Absolutely love coming here with friends and the fianc?! Friendly staff, great atmosphere, and delicious food. Tons of fun to be had.
The arcade was fun. Not an immense option of games but enough to not constantly bump into people. We didn't get to try laser tag or the escape rooms but the prices for both were reasonable.
This is a great addition to the area with great fun for many ages. Bowling, arcade, laser tag, and escape room all combined together for a time out of fun or even party options. If you haven't planned a birthday party here you should look into it. Prices are reasonable and kids all enjoy it. The staff walks you right through everything and helps you along the whole event. Highly reccomend. The attached restaurant is also a great value add. If you need a break go grab some food! Fantastic pairing of many k
We had a lot of fun with the family. We stayed in the arcade and did laser tag. So I can't comment on the escape rooms, which we do a lot of. The bowling alley looked very nice. The remodeling from the original Richland Lanes is amazing. The only part that bummed my 8 year old out was that the games he tried that were supposed to spit out tickets were not spitting out tickets. So we stuck to the virtual reality, laser tag, and the arcade games. We really did have a blast and next time we're in the area from
Very nice clean place. but also very expensive if you're taking the entire family the arcade is outrageously expensive even if if you could gain enough of the points the prizes are kind of shity and the ones that aren't you need an unrealistic amount of points to get. Put on the other hand I'm an old school Richland Lanes kid it is nice to see somebody do something pretty cool with the place and keep part of it what it always was a bowling alley could use a pool table this is just my opinion
IF I could leave negative stars i would! 1. They where majorly understaffed and the skinny blonde chick at the front desk was super rude, but them being understaffed did help her. 2. Took well over an hour to even get a lane to bowl on and it was broken. 3. We requested assistance 3 times over the course of 20min before someone finally came to fix the lane. 4. When we asked to speak to a manager and he came his name is Jerome (not sure of spelling) laughed about the situation and made excuses. 5. Finally ge
It's always a cool spot to take family or visitors when they come into town.
Great time at 814 for the meet and great with the Flood City Thunder! You can see my review of bites and brews on Google reviews. Spoiler, it was really good!
Great place. Bowling was fun ,lanes seem newer games were fund ,but had 5 or 6 games down not working. Overall very fun time with the family
They put in so much work into updating these lanes and it shows! Great place to take the family! Food was good as well!
Over-rated.. and overpriced... Laser tag is awesome here but don't waste your time or money on their weak escape room, it's horrible, you remain in one room the entire time.
I love this place! It's an awesome getaway for a fun night. The prices are really cheap, and they have an unlimited game nights Thursday from 9 to 11 and Friday/Saturday from 11 till 1 am. I enjoy the arcades as well, it has all my favorite games. Their wings are really good, my favorite is garlic parm ?? I also tried their Philly cheese steak pizza but was very oily didn't like it tbh!
Great place for the family. Kids enjoyed the bowling and arcade. The food was good, too.
Pretty good prices and a pretty good selection of games in the arcade. Bowling was fun and our shoes were not gross...which I think is a terrific compliment when renting shoes. Stop by the restaurant too, it's terrific!
So glad this place moved into town. Had my daughters bday here (10th) every staff member was amazing the kids had a blast, honestly the best experience
So as the years go on, the prices get higher food portions get smaller. Im usually there at least twice a week bc of our leagues, but now you are nickled and dime for asking if you can get something instead of the item you dont want for ex. Provolone triangles they come with marinara sauce, and i dont like that, so I asked for ranch instead but only to get charged for it. At another visit All my son wanted was a cheese pizza so I ordered the pizza and it came with 1 topping but all I wanted was to use my to
This place was great I ahd a blast with my girlfriend
Updated inside. Good games to play like lazer tag and VR. Lanes are good. I had some food at the restaurant. Friendly staff. They need to run some ozone in there, a bit of an unpleasant smell to the place. I'll be back. Support local businesses. Bathroom was clean, always a plus.
It is very expensive. The games are not worth the price. The drinks were $8 a piece. The prices would have been a little better, if the service was better. The bartender was rude. We sat for 5 minutes at an empty bar before we were served. She did not greet us or smile. It was a burden for her to wait on us. One of the worst margaritas ever. If we ever return it will not be in the near future.
Great lanes and they have fairly good food and drinks. Their staff on the other hand is questionable. A few of the staff members at different times that I've been there are on the verge of rude. One other thing that I'd mention would be, you almost can't hear the music. Even if you ask them to turn it up, they act like they do but they don't....its a bowling alley...turn on some tunes!!
So much fun! Definitely will be taking my team back again soon!
Completely Nailed it! Really impressed- the guys knocked it out of the park here. Spent 3 hours on a rainy Sunday doing two games of bowling with some time in the arcade with our kiddo. Got food while bowling- all was great. Quality was good and pricing was fair. Great experience all around. Walking outside afterwards took a minute to acclimate back to reality, it was such a nice reprieve from what has been a challenging year for everyone. A wonderful addition to Johnstown for families, will be back!
This place is a lot of fun and just what the area needed, great fun for the whole family. With a little bit of everything there should be something to keep everyone happy. Laser tag, virtual reality, escape room, bowling, video games with prize tickets to win prizes. Adult drinks and great food. Party rooms to rent. We will definitely be back to enjoy more fun and make memories
During my recent visit, I found that the overall experience improved from my first visit. This time, I decided to try the food as well. However, I was slightly disappointed with the initial wait time as it took about 8 minutes to be seated after entering the establishment, and there was no one at the podium to assist during this period. As for the food, I found it to be average, without any particular dish standing out as exceptional
We have a great time every time. Kids love it, get to go do their own thing and I get to hangout over with Lou mixen crazy drinks to give to the wife. Will go again and often as we can family of six.
Variety and good prices. This bowling alley has a restaurant, arcade, laser tag and escape rooms in addition to bowling. For the arcade, we spent 8 dollars a person for 3 people and played arcade games for 2 hours. Time well spent.
Our waitress was amazing when we sat down to go get food. We went there to bowl. Paid for 3 hours at the VIP lane, and we waited more for the pins to go back to normal than we did to bowl. Definitely not worth $135. Very upset as they didn't do anything about it except say that they would get someone to come and fix it. Definitely would not go there to bowl ever again.
My granddaughter 's birthday party was held there, great place and great food.
Place is great for kids. However the dining experience was terrible. I didn't mind waiting a half hour for our food. I didn't mind the oj that had a sour taste (they must have changed it because it used to be great)....but we were served raw chicken. My child didn't realize it until she ate 3 BBQ boneless wings. Server quickly removed the food. Manager could have cared less.
I would of gave 3or4 stars but the little dark hair girl with purple in her hair that was working the shoe rental on Saturday night was horrible, service & attitude...she kinda ruined my first experience here & I didn't even bowl because of her!! Don't think I'll be back!! Updated 1-26-25..I give 1 star this time because customer service in this place absolutely horrible, bartenders are slow as malaise & the staff always has an attitude, if it wasn't my granddaughters bday party I definitely wouldn't of
Plenty of bowling lanes for the whole family and friends. Arcades for all ages. Foods are great too!
This is my second time here with my kids the first time was amazing. We all enjoyed ourselves, this time around however we had a different experience. We were met at the restaurant by Jasmine who should not be greeting customers at all. She has an attitude that's very disrespectful and disgusting. I ordered food and drinks for my children. She was argumentative at where would sit, even when I told her I didn't want to sit in the restaurant, that we would be seated on the floor. She walked off in such a h
I was here for a birthday party yesterday. It was an amazing place & the kids had a blast! However, the reason for my lower rating is in regards to the food service. You are not allowed to bring in outside food & drinks (understandable), but there isn't any snacks or drinks easily available. We were in a private room for 3 hours and wanted to order food & drinks. They have a very nice restaurant area, but you had to sit in to order. We wanted to stay with the birthday party. After being bounced around to se
My son loves this place! The staff is super friendly and helpful!
The place itself is great, but the staff is not very friendly for being a kids entertainment facility. Danielle is live on tik tok while clocked in behind the counter, along with several other employees. I think that's absolutely unacceptable, especially when they aren't friendly even when they ARE working.
Did the escape room, it was fun...but don't bring your small child (5yr old) because you will be charged full price ($18). The staff was also extremely unfriendly. Not sure we will be going back.
Bowling is great! It's a little expensive but totally worth it. The escape rooms are mid, I've done all of them, and they're overprice, and imo not worth it. The rooms are dirty and the puzzles were messed up when I did them. The arcade is fun and cheap. Laser Tag is great and fairly inexpensive!
They have some of the best fries anywhere! Their steak sandwich was awesome!
Disappointed Food was good but we had to waive our server down several times after waiting a few minutes for her to check on us?there was only one girl serving 4 tables with a few other servers standing in a group talking The arcade workers act like they are in a morgue: so unenergetic, unhelpful, and seem like they do not like people let alone children. One of their games was broken but not turned off so when we swiped to play and nothing happened, we asked for the swipes back and they gave us half of what
Waited over an hour for 3 tacos. (And it was still incorrect) They got almost every single order wrong. (One group.) Nothing was hot. The manager in the kitchen needs to know that if she's not going to change her career choices, she could at least change her attitude. Management pretty much set the wait staff up for failure. Very frustrating experience on the restaurant side.
What a great place. They are well organized and kept the party moving
Very nice place friendly environment
Very clean. Newer seating. I have large hands and couldn't find a ball to fit my fingers and being kind of old fashioned I thought it was a little expensive 3 games for my wife, son and myself was almost 60 dollars but I don't go do these things often so I'm not going to complain to much. I guess everything costs a fortune now days
I took my 10 and 5 year old here with some work friends. The kids had a blast with the arcade there. We played laser tag which you need 32 credits/person to play. My 5 yr old daughter wanted to play it. They didn't give her a vest to weigh her down so she was able to enjoy the game :) needless to say we enjoyed ourselves! The reason I gave 4 stars is because of the food and service. Others may have had a better experience but ours wasn't the best. My friend's daughter received a somewhat burnt pizza that sh
The staff at 814 Lanes is amazing. They went out of their way to make sure that everything was accessible for a group of wheelchair users. They were super kind, accommodating and attentive. The food is amazing. The fact that they have a family restroom was incredible. Top Notch service from start to finish. Thank you so much to everyone at 814 Lanes for being so welcoming.
We were here for a birthday party recently. Helpful staff, friendly and clean establishment. I would not hesitate to come back. Food was great and the drinks are cold. Fun times we're had by all.
This is a nice place to go and have fun i like all the games they have and you can go bowling and the food was good to
Great experience!! I wish I got the name of the young man that was so kind to make our daughter?s experience for her birthday amazing ! So pleased with the whole place .
There were several issue associated with my experience here. First, it took 40 minutes to give us our ordered fries and my quesadilla appeared as though it was microwaved. The waiter never checked in and consistently forgot our order. His name was Chris and he appears & friendly but was extremely slow and forgetful. Lastly, he had my raspberry iced tea drink and walked around the entire bar with it after giving my friends their drinks before mine. I wish I could get my money back for this inconvenience.
First time customer, nice place to go, took the kids and grandkids out. Got a meal that was very good. Done some bowling and played some game. Very reasonably priced, will definitely go back again.
I've been going to Rock n Glow bowling here since my pre-teen years. It's still just as much fun today as it was 30+ years ago. Highly recommend.
Awesome place to have a great time, at any age... this town has needed a place like this for years! Amen, we finally have one, extremely competitive prices and great fun and food... staff was very knowledgeable and friendly... would highly recommend this place for a great day or night... Birthday parties or just to get together for dinner, lunch, and some time with friends and family. Just go and gather your own opinions, don't be influenced by others. You'll have a super time.
Overall a very fun time. Servers were attentive for the most part and bowling is decently priced. However....the kitchen staff clearly did not care how the food they sent out looked. Ordered the cheese and bacon fries and got a pretty generous portion. However the cheese was on a very small corner of the plate along with the bacon. As a restaurant manager for over a decade, I would never send that out to a customer.
Amazing place!! Treated us as if we were family!! The host we had was absolutely amazing!! I will definitely come back!! BTW we had a VIP birthday party for my little girl!! Just a all around awesome place!! FYI....food was pretty damn good as well!!
I went here a few times in the past year. It's a hit or miss on the customer service. First few times the staff was rude and made you feel like a bother for everything, they ignored our entire party. BUT my recent visit this week was nice. They were on time with the wait were were given and the older gentleman at the bar was super sweet. The younger bar guy if he still works there could use some manners.
Very entertaining, many things to do. Crowded depending on what day you go and what time of the day, but not too crowded that you can't enjoy yourself. The only thing is when we went to eat at the pub & grill, we did have to wait about an hour for our food, but we weren't told this until we were waiting for 30 min already; and we had to ask about our order. It would have been nice to know that beforehand, especially when you have kids. But overall, the experience was great; I would definitely return and r
A lot of the arcade games were out of order or just took your money and you couldn't play. The virtual reality screens lagged and you could only play one people at a time and we weren't given all the balls needed to play everything. The food was expensive. Bowling was fun.
814 lanes and games has clean facilities, nicely updated. The seating for bowling could use a recover soon. The arcade and bar are nice to have as an alternative brakes in between bowling. There seems to be something to do for everyone here. The wait staff is OK, but it's definitely a little overstretched and unable to keep up with demand. Front staff is young, but doing a good job at getting everything set up and seem to be friendly. I would recommend this place, for get together, and parties involving bow
Fun cheap thing to do. Just wish all the arcade machines worked
I attended an event here and they provided a private space with 4 lanes. Our party had a private server who was amazing! The facility was very clean. Bathrooms were clean. The bar/restaurant area was large and open making the view to the lanes easy to see. The arcade was spread out and looked good. Highly recommend checking this place out for family fun.
The food was good the drinks were bomb,and cheap but unfortunately the server on the floor was having a bad day. She was unable to handle the 3 tables she had and she had a new girl that was inexperienced and just overwhelmed I think. From being a head bartender for years I feel like it was very unprofessional she needs to go smoke a blunt or chill out frfrfr smfh I am always the best tipper but after waiting 10 mins for the bill she walks over and says it's asking for your pin lol I died laughing she didn
One of the better price to portions you will find when it comes to a bowling alley, and really tons to do here between the lanes, bar, arcade, escape rooms, and laser tag. Arcade is a very good deal with amount of points you get to start and was impressed with amount and quality of the games, all in working order. At my kids ages, it's more about the food and arcade here. Both are very solid, definitely recommend!
This place really impressed my husband and I (my husband is hard to impress). The staff were wonderful. Sydney our server made sure we had everything we needed and was very friendly. The food was AMAZING! The girls at the front desk were so helpful and very sweet. I told them it was our 1st time there and they offered us a tour. We didn't know how to work the bowling lane board and 2 workers came down to help us and explained how to work it. They also have a nice arcade. All the machines are working and lig
Went there for my boyfriend?s bowling league. We weren't even close to being done with the three games before our server just brought us our check without asking if we wanted anything else. ( which we did ) Then she never brought back the change. Our total was $15 for our 3 drinks and I left the $20 sitting on the table right next to me. Watched her take it. Didn't say anything bout keeping the change but hey guess she felt she earned that $5 for them 3 beers. 20% tip would have $3 .. glad she took it upon
This place is pretty cool! Whether going to bowl, play games, eat ( or have a few adult beverages), all ages can have a good time here. I personally order takeout from their restaurant, Bites & Brews, fairly often. Everything from the menu, I've had so far, was very good. The employees are very nice:)
We went for a Birthday Party. What a great experience!!! The hostess was absolutely wonderful, food was fantastic, the pizza was phenomenal!!! Every worker was so polite and a smile on there face!! So much to do as well. We had a blast and we will definitely be back. Thank you for a wonderful visit and thank you for bringing 814 to Johnstown!!!
this place is great and fun, staff is very friendly!!! I had Kiara as a waitress and she's amazing at what she does!!
It was a great night of fun but it wouldn't have been so phenomenal without the worker Katie. She assisted us when. We needed help with our cards and made my son's night. An excellent problem solved and team member.
Trinity was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. Event went smooth and everyone had a great time. Only issues is being that it is a popular place, plan your reservation early.
So I hate being catfished with food pictures! They post pictures online make it look real good and this is what I got what I ordered. The wings were so dry i choked on them. The celery was as thin as a shoe string and just as dry as the wings. The fries they call ?loaded? isn't loaded with anything but bagged shredded cheese and bacon bits. Very dry, kinda hard like the cheese was melted in the microwave the ranch dip that came with the fries was fire tho not gonna lie. The funnel cake fries were fire ! The
Had a birthday party for our 9 yr old daughter. It was perfect and everything went great. Our hostess was wonderful with the kids and kept everything moving along. The pizza and cupcakes were delicious. One child couldn't make it, so my husband and I used the credits to do the Virtual Game while the kids were in laser tag. If you get a chance to experience this?.do it ! I grew up with Oregon Trail on a floppy disk lol?technology has come a long way !!! There weren't any other parties going on, so they let u
Love it, great atmosphere. And the waitress we had for the FSC 458 EN BN was Awesome! She took care of us the whole time,thanks.
First time here since it has been remodeled. The atmosphere is really nice. The numbers of lanes has been cut in half, but everything is much more modern. I thought it was weird that the scoring consoles have no chairs. Someone came and took a food order while I was bowling and brought it right to the lane. The pizza is actually really good. My kids played in the arcade and did the VR experience which they thought was a lot of fun. Overall, I think this is a fun place to hang out for any age group.
814 lanes is almost always a great time. This is the third birthday party we have had there and the kids always have a wonderful time and mom is happy because they take ALL the work off of me. Pizza is awesome and so are the employees.
Great place to bowl, yet I can never get to experience it, due to them never having lanes open. However if you make it to a lane, your stomach will be begging for food if not eaten prior, you will be starving due to no waitresses being available.
This is the second time I have been here, First time really good experience, we were the only ones here during the day. Great Food. Second time, this time 7 people, place isn't really busy. Very out of whack service. Was told server will come to us with menu, after being here for 45 minutes at a lane, no menu had to ask for a menu again, order food and drinks. Food comes out in pieces, I mean when I go somewhere to eat I never had someone say I will bring your food out as it becomes available. Was ask
Today we had our sons 6th birthday party. The staff was outstanding from start to finish. They were polite courteous and helpful. They also support the military and were kind enough to offer a military discount. They were so nice and professional. I can't say enough good things about the business and staff. I highly recommend 814 lanes.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
