Best investment to kick off the summer with the family was getting their Premium Summer Season Pass. Kids can bowl every day AND get 5 bucks worth of free arcade tokens. And to top it off, every last member of the staff we've met are super nice. I still suck at bowling, but having fun with the fam!
Bowl on a Tuesday night league after not bowling for 24 years and I definitely enjoy not only the facility itself but the people that work there are amazing! I love foward to bowling every time I go there!
Place is awesome, very clean and great service but... they have just hired a new manager who is not so great. Charged me an extra game, always at the front desk sitting on his phone, I haven't had any issues with this place until him. Everyone else is laid back and helpful, especially grace. Would love to see him gone...
Went with my family and we had a blast!! The manager, I think her name was Grace, was extremely helpful, very upbeat and enthusiastic. We plan to make this a regular outting. Thank you for making our family time so enjoyable!!
Lanes are in better maintenance then they were last year. Air conditioning worked well Saturday but Sunday is was awful inside the center. Too hot.
Paid 62 dollars for 1 game with 4 people. 2 of them were under the age of 4. Overall good staff, but the pricing is just unjustified. Save your money and go someplace else if you are just looking to bowl and have fun.
We had a lovely time there with my grandkids who were visiting from out of town. They really enjoyed themselves. The young lady who waited on us was very efficient and pleasant. We will return.
Always love bowling here! Great atmosphere, clean, helpful staff. My favorite bowling alley in Evansville hands down
very disappointed with my experience. when i had a difficulty with understanding the pricing because last time we came they gave free coupons but didn't clarify when to come! young girl seemed very rude when trying to split payments equally! i messed up my payment and she said there was nothing to do to get my money back to me!
This place is always clean and workers are welcoming. The drinks are good and the food came out pretty fast, the guy who made our food was friendly and helpful as well. Would definitely go back
Went with the family and few weeks ago. The young lady working"Grace" was sweet and helpful! Definitely plan on coming back soon. Maybe make a routine freind and family night.
One of the Pricier places to bowl but it's clean, has well maintained lanes, cool arcade, Dino helper for the kiddos, and good food to choose from! And the alcohol choices are nice
They have specials. It's 8.99 plus shoe rental a person. Around $16 a person per game. Our lane and scoreboard malfunctioned a few times. UPDATE: We had to wait close to one hour for them to resolve the issue with the lanes. The belt had broken. We had to be moved. Then wait and make yet another trip to the desk to have them start our lanes. There wasn't much customer service here. They have a bar and offer beer towers and cocktails. They offer typical bowling alley food. It is cooler on the lanes closer
Fun bowling and video game place for kids and adults. Pretty good experience overall...can get a bit pricy when you add on the cost of food. Will return periodically...
We need the older sweet lady back, this new kid seems like he hates his job, stops selling alcohol and food 2 hours before closing. Plus the lanes keep stalling every 20 minutes or so other than that I love coming here.
Had a great time. Staff was friendly and the party was fun glow bowl is always a plus
Went for the kiddos , they had a blast . Reasonably priced drinks were awesome and games were all in working order ?? must come again to try the bowling because we didn't bowl. But all in all a great place for adults and children alike. My favorite drink was the southern charm although it was a little pricey.
They have bad services turned down selling any 3 towers for a group of 9 at 8 pm and just got here and no food after 9 pm. And honestly it's just the workers think cuz the times I have been here they are better than this 2/09/25
We paid for unlimited bowling today and only got to play one game because THEY LANES wasn't working correctly. I will not be bringing my children back to this place. There is another bowling alley if you want to bowl in Evansville
Had a great time with my family. Grace was wonderful and very helpful. Made bowling fun and easy.
Fun place to bowl! Saturday night and the place was all lit up and music videos were playing on displays. A really good time. The prices for games and shoe rentals were fairly reasonable.
While we had issues with our lane the staff was on top of it and made sure we are being taken care of. Great place for family outing. If I need to critique one thing it be high prices for drinks, other than that we had a great time.
Great staff, awesome lanes. Amazing environment
Had fun with the family. And had some drinks. Nice place clean and friendly
Had a girl that just hated fun. Had a blonde moment, haven't even been drinking, and she told my friend that I can't drink and I'm cut off. She set us in front so she could ?keep an eye on us?. So if your fun don't bring it around this lady
For the most part it was a great experience, super friendly staff. The feminine hygiene product dispenser doesn't work though which sucks and we were cut off mid game. We had reservations for an hour and a half (personally I'm use to by the game but first time in a long time since I've went bowling) and it stopped us while we were still mid game. I was very disappointed we didn't atleast get to finish the frame we were on. Otherwise definitely recommend coming here.
Had a great time! Pizza was so good! Computer score boards are a little complicated to use.
Its very spacious with a lot of lanes. I liked the arcade area, not too pricey. The game prices are understandable considering the amenities they have, and they do have deal offers. My daughter and I had a great time :)
I'm a frequent flyer at Arc Lanes - The staff is friendly and the space is clean, paving the way for a fun experience each time.
very funny, we liked it a lot. A highly recommended family place with good promotions. There are no promotions on Saturdays! But on Fridays yes. but yes very good environment
Always a good spot for family. Always a spot to bowl, friendly and courteous staff.
I really enjoy this bowling alley. It's mostly chill, most the food is good, the prices are decent enough and the music is a bit nostalgic.
Huge bowling alley, with an arcade and a bar with snacks. They also have a pro shop. We had a good time here.
Enjoyable time. Staff was prompt with issues that arose. The food was decent. Flatbreads we're good. Nachos were terrible.
A bit pricey but, its a nice clean environment. a lot of food options, summer passes, arcade games, glow bowling on evenings, and TONS of lanes. great place!
Charging by the minute to play pool is absolutely ridiculous. Most place charge .75 to $1. We paid 3 games for $18. We play pool every Friday and Saturday. Definitely won't be back.
Nice lanes, reasonable prices, and a good time.
Food was good, setting was great,we paid for it!
There was a very loud noise at one end of the lanes due to a ? broken piece of wood? that they ?couldn't do anything about?. The whole entire other end of the Bowling alley was completely empty and away from the noise that sounded like a Jack hammer! They placed us on the lane basically right in front of the noise knowing about the problem. This is usually a fun atmosphere with music playing and it sounded like we were in a loud factory instead. It was our spring break and we were just hoping yo have a goo
Nice place. Very expensive!
Would?ve given the 0 stars it deserves but google won't allow that. Bowling balls got stuck, we had to ask for help 3 times and switched lanes. Balls kept getting stuck in new lane and scoring was inaccurate. Workers said we couldn't get a refund and the management was extremely rude. On top of all that, bathrooms were disgusting. You would think that 2 games for $81 would at least guarantee a decent game. Literally paid for broken equipment and rude treatment from staff. Save your money and time and never
Lanes were gross. Took forever for ball return. My hands were black and oily after bowling.
Good spot for a game of bowling or pool. Clean facilities and the arcade setup is pretty impressive for a bowling alley. Good entertainment but the 20/hour for a pool table is a little much. Many other places are 12-15.
The place was really busy. We were fortunate to get a couple lane for a party of 12. The kids enjoyed using the bumpers. They had music playing. The bar line line long and slow. There are several billiard tables and video games. They had the lights down low when we were there around 8pm on a Saturday. We didn't order food, but what we saw others eating looked good.
Had a great time with my toddler here! The food and drink choices are super! Loved the arcade area with automated prize machines! Will definitely be back! Only down side was price - $27 for 1 round and 2 pairs of shoes - but the price also pays for the ambiance which was well worth it!
For a Billion Dollar company to have this many issues is astonishing. I hope the Indiana State USBC sees the issues and doesn't come back here unless the machines are fixed. I see why numerous bowlers do not like the Bowlero company and to think 6 beers is $36 is ridiculous and taking full advantage of the bowlers.
Fifty dollars for four people to bowl one game is outrageous. Food and drink prices are absurd as well. Lane worked about half the time. Save your money and go somewhere else.
Drove down to bowl in USBC Seniors State Bowling Tournament. Very nice place to take family for some fun and it's clean. For me, it was a very long drive down there from NW Indiana.
Very clean facility and nice environment. I give 2 stars due to the pricing. I know everything is going up these days. But 6.99 a game, the "snack bar" automatically charges a 18% gratuity. It's a bowling alley guys, not an amusement park.
Drinks are cold and the people are friendly. Lanes can be unpredictable though. Had some really dry lanes before. But overall a good place.
The atmosphere is great! Nick in the pro shop is amazing and really knows his stuff! You can't go wrong here!
I haven't been bowling for a few years, so I dont know when bowling got so expensive like it is, but it was stilll a lot of fun. I ended uo buying a summer bowling pass for $35....2 games to bowl everyday, totally worth the money!!!
Way to expensive to go bowling for a family of 5 it coast us 225.00 and the one staff member was very rude....
Had a retirement party for a co-worker and it was a great time!! Everyone enjoyed the pizza and nachos etc. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms in the bar area was very clean. Very clean atmosphere good music and the black lights and light show was great.
In town on vacation and thought it would be nice to roll a few frames. The lane I was put on had a major issue with the ball return and when asked for a refund based on the poor machine reliability to return the ball, I was only offered a lane change which wasn't the correct solution. As a maintenance technician by trade and having to deal with unmaintained equipment required for the game doesn't instill a feeling of value for my hard earned money.
Sydney was absolutely amazing!! She did an excellent job helping us get set up for the app. Not to mention AMF is overall the nicest and best bowling alley in the tri-state. Excellent lanes and excellent oil patterns!!
It's a nice bowling alley. Spacious (biggest in town), newly renovated, nice bar, nice updated arcade.....however....it's still bowling, and they're charging a STIFF premium for a traditionally cheap mode of entertainment. $33 to bowl 4 games is way too high. $9 of that is for shoe rentals...... $5 and change per game. It was pricey just for my girlfriend and I to go. I can't imagine having a larger family or paying for a birthday party. I understand they have to pay for employees and recoup some of that re
Great remodel, it looks amazing!! I enjoyed the free refills and the variety of menu choices but everything seemed a bit expensive. $60 for 6 games, 2 drinks and loaded fries that were cold. I'll be back with a Groupon if I can find one.
I used to love coming here for a fun night out, but what the @#$& happened to the pricing?? It is insanely expensive now, which is very disappointing. Be reasonable in this economy. Seriously.
Cool place if your willing to take a mortgage out to bowl. Family of 4 bowling 3 games. Expect to pay $110. Friday around 1-2pm. Maybe 4 other families here. Wish they would understand people want to go out an have fun but no one has this kinda money. Time to step back to reality. There's other places that are much more economical for the average family budget. This place has ton of potential.
One of the BEST places to go to hangout! I love it even more with the extended arcade area and now I get to bowl while tipsy, so it's all together a great place! I can't wait for my son to get older and big enough to bowl, especially for fun birthday parties!
Clean and well maintained, but pricey.
Lots of lanes and nice customer service. Prices are about 7 dollars a game! It's high. The unlimited bowling special is a good deal.
We were very happy with AMF Arc Lanes, they hosted us for my daughters 7th birthday and ensured the entire evening went smoothly. The lanes were clean and updated, the food was good and they even through in a card for my girl and announced her birthday over the intercom. I would highly recommend this place and expect to return in the not too distant future.
I had a very bad experience here we weren't allowed to finish our game and it was still 10 minutes till closing time plus the lanes kept messing up and not scoring right
Well I love this place, the staff is friendly, they have a fun game room for my kids and I to rack up some tokens. And mixed drinks at the bar.. The prices can be a little high, but then you call and find out about all kinds of specials and deals thru the week that makes family night not break the bank. Tues. After a certain time bowling is only $2.88 per person per game. Thats great! I definitely will go back ;)
Food and drinks are kinda pricey, think movie theater rather than restaurant. Free refills on soft drinks though. The bowling was fun, place is very clean. Definitely a fun way to spend the evening
Love this place . Rated so low because I should not have paid $70 for 5 small drinks (only size with free refills), 1 large 1 topping pizza, 1 order of chicken nuggets and 1 order if chili'l cheese fries... I just don't see how my food order doubled the price as our shoes and ONE game 5player.. Almost $150 for this. I paid less for a birthday package... And still played more lol.
Good place to bowl. Has an arcade and average bowling alley food (greasy pizza, popcorn, etc). Waiters and staff were nice. They didn't have any benches like most bowling alleys just chairs and tables that you shared with everyone else. They did have nice monitors for each lane and big screen projectors that come down so you can watch the game while you bowl.
Me and my friends have been coming here for years. However, our most recent time was terrible. We were on lane 15, which had many problems during our games. We purchased the unlimited games (nearly $20 per person), which we thought that we would be able to enjoy the entire time. Our games were constantly idling due to our lane constantly malfunctioning. I would not recommend these lanes for any group looking to enjoy a night of bowling. If you like taking 5 minute breaks every other round, then this would b
Took my 5 year old to Arc Lanes on 8-24-2013 for the Kids Fest where kids can bowl for free for one hour & $1 drinks/$1 hot dogs...which I really appreciated! I think it's great to have free/cheap things for kids to do. The guy working at the cash register was very nice & helpful. My son had lots of fun bowling. It was all a great experience until we decided to have lunch there. I went up to the concession stand & ordered the hot dog, drink, & a chicken tenders combo. I had to repeat my order twice because
Booked a birthday party. Everyone went out their way to make sure we were satisfied. The kids enjoyed the food, bowling and arcade games. Price was comparable to booking the same party at other event locations. The difference was the service.
Always a great family experience. Shout out to Zach Johnson for making our family moments memorable. Thank you for a fun safe environment
This place is huge for bowling, have around 30lanes. Also has couple of pool tables and arcade games as well. Prices are decent. Saturdays are crowded usually, so there could be wait but in other days there is not much wait. Also weekdays plenty of deals. Bar is quiet expensive, specially mixed drinks are way too expensive. Food prices are okay and quality is okay as well.
The bowling alley is clean and has many nice features. They have a very nice arcade area for kids and adults alike. The shop looks very nice. The only thing I didn't understand was that bowling was 5 dollars a game. The day I went there was hardly no one there. It's a shame because a more reasonable game rate would attract more people to a very well kept business.
People are super nice! We did have a problem with our bowling balls not returning to us. We got moved to another lane, and it started happening in that lane (we were given 4 coupons for a free game). We ordered some food, and the pizza was undercooked. I'd say eat before you come and bowl.
So, this is one of the most fun places to take your friends, or your family, it has something for everyone to enjoy. The staff is friendly.. You can bowl, you can eat, you can play arcade games, the little ones can get and play with prizes, and for the adults... a bar and pool tables. That's a whole afternoon and evening.. Oh and You can join a bowling league, some of which you leave with a free bowling ball.. You get a % taken off food/drink AND 2 free games a week. And that's why I joined a league ;)
Good and very well place
This place is kept up well by the manager, but the food prices and drink prices are the worst in town and they should value the bowlers more by making it affordable. Not locally owned, so they don't seem to be in touch with pricing in our Market. Curt has always been a big supporter of local bowlers and does what he can, but they need to lower prices!
I haven't been bowling for a long time. Very expensive I thought, but had a good time
Not a bad place. Fairly cheap. They have special low rates on Sundays. There are a ton of lanes so you rarely have to wait. Good place to play pool too, lots of tables. Their bar and snack area aren't half bad either. My only qualm is that if you go on a Friday or Saturday night, there are TONS of teenagers. But I guess you'll have that at most bowling alleys.
Bad management. The lady manager was EXTREMELY disrespectful. AND they lied to me on the phone because they said I can do open bowling but when I drove 1 hour to get there they said that I cant do open bowling, but only parties were allowed and we couldn't make a party
My teenage daughter went BOWLING with two of her teenage friends to bowl a few games last night. Each one had to pay $46 to bowl, so $138 for all three. Then the drinks were $8.00 each. Pizza plus a few arcade games for the three costed them $80. The grand total was $218! TOO MUCH!
Took forever to give us our food and was testing a bowling ball I had just bought and the lady moved my lane to put other people where I was and ended up resetting my score when I was doing good this place is absolutely horrible lanes keep breaking down bathrooms are trashy no one cleans anything
Dear Arc, your food sucks! We had a party there and could not bring in pizza from next door at dominos. We wanted to bring in pizza cause their food sucks. When I asked if we could bring in pizza they said no due to health code rules. Then I go to use your restroom which is nasty and the sinks are all clogged up...seemed like more of a health code violation than dominos pizza.
Bowled here. Bowling good, workers good, and beer good.
The bowling was a lot of fun and things looked clean and well kept for the most part. The staff was nice and very helpful. The only issue is the food was not very good in my opinion. We had pizza and it was unappetizing along with a salad that seemed to be covered in pico de gallo. Food aside, it is a good place to hangout.
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.”
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
