Customer Reviews

We decided to have an impromptu guys bowling afternoon. The atmosphere was great, the food was great, and the service was great. The staff was attentive and kind. The facilities were clean. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you haven't already, give Andy B's a try and enjoy your bowling experience. ??

Greta place for kids or young adults. The staff are nice and friendly. The food is not too bad and there are some decent cocktails at the bar. It is kept very clean. Laser tag in the basement is awesome. Arcade is probably among the best in town

I want to thank Brooklyn for her charisma and energy at the bar! I want to also thank the staff over in the game room for their welcoming vibes. We didn't bowl but this is a great spot for the family to hang out. We didn't get to eat but the game room & bar was lit!

Was fun and the lanes and balls were clean and waxed to a shine. A lil expensive for an hour and half and 2 pairs of shoes 75$ but for an occasional visit it's not bad.

This is one of those rare gems you can take your friends, family, groups, and even a casual date or just solo! You have a full service and spacious bowling alley where you can order from your lane and the seating is comfortable as compared to other dedicated bowling alleys. If you get tired of bowling, you could go and play in the arcade or laser tag. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting! So the next time you are looking to find something to do for the day or evening or perhaps a place to host a pa

The bartender Trevor was AMAZING! we had a huge group of us come in for the bar and bowl. He nailed every drink, and was so patient and kind to us! 10 outta 10 great service!

It's a really fun place to go for either bowling or arcade with friends or family. A recommendation I would give to everyone is if you are able to go on Monday, then go then. Mondays are always half price and can make the trip a lot cheaper for the entire group. This also applies to both bowling and arcade so defentily a win all around. Overall, pretty friendly staff and at decent prices for how nice the establishment is.

Fun place to bowl, but can be expensive. Almost $100 for two hours. Food is ok, if not a bit over priced as well. Wait staff was excellent!

Bowling alley in Springfield with an arcade, restaurant, and bar. They recently changed from traditional bowling to having the pins on strings which I don't love. Also, there are many arcade games, but they're a bit expensive (one claw machine was 5$ each play). The food and drinks were all good quality, especially for an arcade. Overall, I'd say it's a good place to bowl and have some drinks.

Private Event bowling is 10/10, birthday parties?VERY fun & lazer tag with friends is a blast! Recommend for sure! Thank you!

My kid had such a good time, bowling arcade, food and drinks, nice choice of music playing.

Super cool place! I had lots of fun! We played in the arcade and bought the cosmic bowling package! It's very clean, good staff and great atmosphere.

Game room. We had to pay $2 for each card (unless you had an existing card you could reload) in addition to whatever amount you want to add to gain play time. Example: $10 will get you $8 of playtime (&8 game time + $2 for a new game card). Business is a cash free business; however if you have cash only, you must load it on a game card. All points earned get added on your game card to redeem or save to redeem later.

There is so much fun to be had! I really enjoy the arcade area, bowling isn't really my thing. My bowling friends say that the bowling is overpriced, though. I would definitely go more often if it was more affordable. This is all outshined by wonderful staff like Connor. I do not like alcoholic beverages very often, but he was able to make me one where I couldn't taste any alcohol and I actually enjoyed it! He was very knowledgeable about specials and items on the menu and had a very welcoming presence.

We have been going to Andy B's for exactly 1 year today and each time every visit is AMAZING. We ALWAYS book the VIB section where the extremely kind, wonderful and beautiful Brooklyn works the bar/lounge. Our daughter has special needs (Down Syndrome) she tends to scream a little with excitement and everywhere there is sooo accepting of it. We went to celebrate her 12th birthday there today and Brooklyn took such good care of our party. She went above and beyond and we will never forget our experiences the

Great atmosphere and Daisy is the best bartender ever! Food was amazing as well, crab ?? Rangoon dip was wonderful!

Stopped in to bowl a game and eat dinner while celebrating our son's 10th birthday! We did the VIB option. PHENOMENAL! This was the first time I've tried this. It's worth every penny. It's so much fun. Especially when having younger, less experienced bowlers. We liked the Angry Birds option the best. We played our hour and then had a great dinner. After we ate, we played a few games and then finished off with a round of laser tag! I've never played before. I had so much fun. I'm 30, and I felt like I was 10

I took my son and his friend here on a Saturday night. We walked in and I saw an advertisement for eat and play. I decided to ask the waitress about it and she told me anything over $10 that we ordered we would get a $10 game pass for $5. That's a good deal so I ordered 2 meals over $10. After we eat the waitress informed me the promo ended today and we couldn't get the deal. I was a little confused since there was a sign in the lobby stating that the deal was still good since it was advertised. I was tol

I recently visited Andy B?s for a night of bowling with friends, and I was thoroughly impressed by the experience. The staff consistently demonstrated kindness and professionalism, creating a welcoming atmosphere for all guests. In particular, Matty and Maggie provided exceptional service, ensuring that our evening was enjoyable and hassle-free. Andy B?s is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a fun and well-managed bowling experience. I highly recommend it to those looking for quality service and a grea

Connor, the mixologist made our entire evening! We were just looking for a cool little place to hang out. We are from out of town and he had us laughing and made us instantly feel at home. Great guy!!

Connor, bartender, was awesome. Monday night, just looking for someplace to hang out. He was quick, courteous and made some great conversation (and great drinks ;)). Super cool dude! Fun place to hang out for a few hours too.

My husband and I will come here every once and awhile for a date day and it is always so much fun our family has created wonderful memories there and we always have such a great time

I went bowling here for my birthday with my family this New Year's Day, and I had a nice time. I like this bowling alley as good as Sunshine Lanes and Enterprise Park Lanes, even though the hour we paid to spend bowling ended before we could finish our second game. Yes, we, as a party of four, did only pay to bowl for one hour that Saturday evening, and we did end up having to stop bowling without finishing our second game. I would have liked for us to be able to finish it, but I still did have a nice ti

Connor is the most fun bar tender in springfield! If you go to Andy Bs, ask for Connor, he is a mixologist with personality!

Just left a work party we had there, and it was fantastic! Thank you very much Isabella for your service! You definitely went above and beyond. My gluten free 3 cheese pizza was amazing.

Great place for group events

Such an amazing experience!! Everytime i go i have such a good time and the staff is so friendly and helpful especially jasmine and Trevor. They were both so helpful and provided such amazing service I will definitely be back!

Recently celebrated my birthday here and it was sm fun! Jasmine and Isabel were so fun to be around! Trevor also made some delish drinks! Definitely made for a great birthday :)

I was just at Andy B's today with my coworkers from three stone homes. It was our employee appreciation Day.. we had such a great time!! The staff went over and above to make sure we had the best time possible!! I recommend Andy B's to any group wanting to go have a good time from two people to 100 people.. You!!! will not be disappointed!!!

The staff was so kind and accommodating, truly very friendly! Definitely recommend for families and friends looking for fun activities!!

If you actually bowl then you will not like this place, theres strings that are connected to the pins which will get in the way of that lovely spinning pin that could possibly knock over that last standing pin, you have to pay per hour and theres distraction upon distraction to make your time dissappear so instead of enjoying a game you are forced to be constantly paranoid about your time. Dont fall for the mini game gimmick you can choose from at the beginning, its just another way to distract you from act

They have a great bar and Conner is an amazing bartender. His beach tea was pretty great and I'm going back to try his rum old fashioned!

Please seek out Chance to take care of you! You def won't regret it. Super patient, kind, and accurate! While everyone here is amazing, this time was probably the best experience we've ever had (and we've had PLENTY of great e percent here, which is why we keep coming back.) and. I know for a fact Chance is to blame for the awesome experience! Thank you, Chance!

Had a group of 8 of us for a work event, Connor took excellent care of us from the moment we walked in. His outstanding service did not go unnoticed one bit!!

Always a great family fun time. Great staff and the food tastes fresh. A big plus for the kids is a great gaming area. They also have VR and laser tag. The private (VIB) bowling area is nice and secluded.

Service was top notch and the atmosphere is great. The cost is a bit much for just bowling.

I had a lot of fun, we had two bartenders that were so nice. I was only able to get one?s name Connor but they were both so nice and checked up on us regularly. We loved the bowling and arcade. Only negative thing I'd have to say would be about the laser tag. We didn't know what to do we waited in the line for 15 mins then just got bored and played arcade games. It was still a lovely time though thankyou Andy b?s

I brought our Youth Group to bowl last night and was blown away by the hospitality and kindness of the staff. Efficient, honest, helpful, and attentive. We were met at the door by Eric who showed us to our lanes and helped us to slot in comfortably whilst I was herding our teens. Special shoutout to Brooklyn and Natalie for being tremendous servers. Jonathan was also helpful in working out our final bill. Overall fabulous experience. Thanks to the whole team!

I totally recommend the nachos. They were delicious. Food was delivered to us within ten minutes of ordering on a Saturday night. No complaints.

I can't express what a great experience we have had again and again at this specific location! Time after time, we have received unmatchable service, that makes our day! Whether it's for work, family, or friends, the treatment we get from the work named 'Shay' is absolutely unparalleled anywhere else. Do yourself a favor, and visit Andy B's! To make sure your experience is top notch, ask for Shay. If I owned the place, she would be a territory manager. Easy. Thank you again! Will be back again and again!

Absolutely our favorite place for date nights! Definitely recommend 2 hours for dinner time, it give you enough time to bowl before you order your food and eat and have time after to bowl again!

Number one place to eat play arcade, games, and bowl with friends and family.

We had our son?s birthday party at Andy B?s on Battlefield Rd. It was awesome! The kiddos and the adults had a great time. Everything went great thanks to our wonderful hostess, Harley. Thank for a good time and great memories. We will be back for the fun games and tasty pizza.

We had our Christmas party with about 30 people, when I signed the contract it said we would have a DEDICATED host. The person that was assigned as our host was also the bartender and food person for everyone there, not just us, as the contract stated. I reached out via email to the event coordinator and have not heard from them. I guess they just care about collecting the money and not actually respecting their customers.

Always a good time. The cafe has decent food and there is a great variety of activities between the bowling, laser tag, and arcade games.

A great place for just about anything! Date night, get together with friends, dude day with your sons. Always a good time! Prices are right and customer service is excellent!

It's pretty fun if you have kids and some money to spare. You could just eat and bowl. The food is a step above bowling alley food. The staff is nice and attentive. Kinda pricey though.

Have gone here quite a few times in the last few months. Staff is friendly, place is fairly clean. Prices are a bit much but just come prepared with cash on your card. Cashless place so you'll have to save your Andy B?s card for next time!

We got VIB. for. $12. This was such a steal because we had unlimited bowling, great lanes, and food served. The atmosphere felt great and was so very ambient. I enjoyed my experience with bowling and then the arcade was so wonderful. The machines are nearly top of the entertainment line and the staff treated us oh so kindly. I recommend this place, especially on a Monday or Wednesday!

Honestly the best burger I've had. Trenton was a good server and Jonathan was super helpful. Gave good suggestions for food. Food was amazing. Well worth the trip and expense.

Andy B's was packed with birthday parties but we still had a lot of fun. Not a lot of wait for the games, but if you want to bowl you may need to call ahead to see if lanes are available. And get the sweet potato bites. Wow.

Jasmine and Trevor were AMAZING! Definitely made the experience 10x better!

Bowling environment- Excellent - Staff - Friendly - Cleanliness- A+ - Pricing - Wish it was a little lower but you get what you pay for. - Food - Great pizza and appetizers - Business Events - looks like a great place considering it looked like AT&T employees where having a good time and they had catering provided by the bowling alley.. if I had a business I would definitely hold the event here.

This place is amazing, everything you could want to do or eat is here. Booking a kids party here is fantastic, the staff is great!!

A very nice bowling alley. The customer service was outstanding and the facility is very well maintained.

Went in a few days ago. Took my sons and their friends bowling. . We ordered food. The waitress brought the food and the first round of drinks out. We had to go get refills ourselfs which was fine. . I paid and handed the waitress cash for a tip . The next day I get an updated charge the waitress added herself more of a tip to my card which is fraud . I talked to the manager. He took my info and said he would see what he could do . He admitted it was fraud. . He said he would email me in a few hours .

Great location with awesome staff. Fun atmosphere.

Horrendous experience. Walked in the door and decided to hit up the restaurant, first. Our server seemed friendly, at first, but the attentiveness quickly dropped from there. Shortly after the food arrived, she came back and said she was being cut from the floor and needed to close out our ticket. Basically, her shift had come to an end and she wanted paid before she left. If this is how business is done, she shouldn't have been assigned another table, so close to the end of her shift. There was no o

This place is actually pretty baller. It's clean, staff is helpful and the place has a really modern style.

Me and my guy went on a fun date I loved it ,it was fun ?? would recommend.

Matty is amazing! Thank you so much for your hospitality, kindness, and amazing customer service.

We enjoyed our time and were lucky to visit on a Monday where everything is half off ! VIB bowling was lots of fun . Service was great and we won lots of tickets in the arcade! My son loved the VR games !

Some girls from my work and I went after work on a Friday. We reserved 2 lanes in the VIB section. We checked in at the time we were told and were immediately given our shoes and directed to the VIB section. Finding our 2 lanes was a bit difficult as none of them were numbered but we simply asked and were pointed in the right direction. The waitress was there shortly after to take orders and was prompt on the refills. It was over all a great time and great service. After 2hrs of bowling we had fun playing l

Went to check out the menu the waitress was super nice!!! I didn't catch her name but it was a pleasant surprise

I think this is 8 years we've had our company Christmas party here in their VIP room and it's always a perfectly casual time.

Andrew and Ashanti was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! They made my birthday so amazing and so happy to have them to help my friends and I, they deserve all the praise in the world. I couldn't thank them enough and making the atmosphere so fun! :)

We've been going here for years to bowl and play arcade games. Apparently they have changed the rules and you must use the ONE machine to get credit for all your tokens etc at the end of your arcade time. They had 3 staff members standing at the redemption counter on their phones doing nothing and we were told they could not add the tokens to our game card, we HAD to use the new machine. The new machine jammed three times while we were using it. Rude staff. Rude manager Matty who was no help. Ridiculous new

Over charged us for a pair of shoes we didn't need and then when we got a drink from the bar the gay opened and charged us for an over priced beer when we asked to get a shot instead for the same price he told us no very dissatisfied will not ever go back

Great time took 3 small kids and staff was amazing and helpful and kids had a blast. $ well spent!

Pretty cool inside and cool arcade, but expensive as hell man. Sorry we didn't stay we went elsewhere. Traveling is expensive dude make things affordable. San Francisco bowling area in the Bay area is hell of cheaper ...man prices now days.

Me and my wife came here and had an amazing time. Our server(Yesenia) was absolutely awesome and so sweet. Look forward to coming again????

My three friends and I came here on a whim to play laser tag instead of going to a nightclub this Saturday night. I'm so glad we did! Every employee was ridiculously nice the moment we stepped in the door. Matty immediately told us about the great deals they were having tonight and we definitely took advantage of them. The laser tag associate was so enthusiastic and made it super fun, even for a small group of adults. We then went to the bar to get a drink and the bartender was very quick and attentive, not

I participate in Kids Bowl Free with my grandkids. We go every week and have a great time. We especially love it when Jordie waits on us. He goes out of his way to make sure our experience is the best possible. He is always friendly and cheerful, we look forward to seeing him every week!

This is great place to take the family. Food and drinks in a nice sit down area. Arcade and games like Skeeball. The bowling lanes and equipment are great. The prices are above average but still highly recommended.

My son turned 21 and he wanted to go bowling. I felt like they didn't want us there. Try to order alcohol. The bar person spoke to us as though we Were below him. Plus they gave us a lane that wouldn't work and we had to switch lanes. Upon our request.

You would have had more stars, but something BAD is coming with Andy B's. They're going cashless, which means YOU get to have your card put at risk, YOU get hit with swipe fees in the pricing, and given the total lack of quality in the food we saw tonight we simply won't be back. How do you have mozzarella sticks come out still frozen and like rubber mot once but twice? Here's a hint. Either your cook doesn't know what tiner to use OR you changed product and the fryer isn't set to this new product. Next

Everything is just so expensive you'd think after being open this long they'd lower the price just a little. I think the arcade toys should be a little more fair priced as far as what tickets get you . All in all though, I spent 200 dollars for myself and my two kids just in the Arcade alone ?? but it was a good time ! So no regrets!

Me and my husband went here for date night and had a blast. Between bowling and the arcade we had so much fun. Had this wonderful drink that I would love to know what was in it. I think he called it a starfish...

Andrew in the laser tag was phenomenal! Made the experience absolutely perfect. Very fun and he made sure to explain rules and procedures. 10/10 worker and great place to visit!

Had an absolutely awesome experience at Andy Bs, did both VIB Bowling and some play at the Arcade. The VIB Bowling is pretty cool, and we enjoyed the Angry Birds Spark game, as well as a few others. A great way to keep bowling fun and interesting aside from the traditional setup - although, you can do that too. Lane side food service was great - wait staff was split between bar and lane, but felt like we had a personal attendant. Drinks were always filled, and we were well tended to. Every employee we

I took my two grandchildren, ages 8 & 7, along with two of their friends tonight of the same age, and I can't thank everyone enough for a fantastic time. We bowled for about an hour and a half and ate during that time. The food was excellent, as well as the service in the VIB area. We then went to the games area and Andrew and Samantha were fantastic. They were so courteous, patient with us, and very kind. If there were a way to give ten stars to them I would! Thank you for a great evening

We had such a great time at Andy B's!! Great time of Bowling with our family! The staff is AMAZING and very attentive to our needs, especially Matty and Hollis!

This was our first visit for my wife and I. We hung out for 5 hours bowling, ate lunch, and gaming. The burger and fries were fantastic! We were impressed with the cleanliness and friendly staff. We wanted to give a special shout out to Matty he explained things well. He followed up with us during our visit checking on us if we needed anything. Wonderful service provided by all the servers. We will definitely be back! Thank You for a positive experience.

Was in town for a bachelor party and we stopped to do bowling and laser-tag. The food and drinks were on point everything was great. Special shoutout to the game master for laser-tag Andrew he was a great host and made the experience wonderful

It was fun the kids had a ball in the game room our lane broke they were quick to move us to another lane to fix the issue

Good family fun. It's a bit pricey, but isn't everything else that's fun. I would recommend for a fun night out with the kids. The arcade is very pricey but you can win credits toward cool prizes. Play with moderation, and you won't break the bank to badly. The bowling is the new style where the pins are on tethers and don't react like pro style lanes. But the kids don't care, they have fun.

The Lazer tag only lasted for 7 minutes and I spent 48$. We chose this place for the other amenities but there was a place called war zone that was 50$ for an hour. If it weren't for my 6 year old nephew we definitely would have tried the War Zone

Andrew was pretty cool, made good conversations. He was cool, would come again just to say hi.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
