Had such a great experience here! The place was clean, the food was actually really good (the kids loved the tenders & loaded fries) and the arcade had newer games and virtual reality. But what really stood out to me was how well the staff handled a group of rowdy bowlers next to us. They were using some foul language and acting a bit wild, and without us even having to say anything, the staff stepped in and diffused the situation calmly and quickly. It made me feel safe and taken care of as a mom. That kin
My family had so much fun! Between bowling, tasty beverages/snacks and the arcade...what more could you ask for! The staff was super friendly and walked us through how we could get the best bang for our buck. We were there on a day where they had special pricing(Tuesday) or we could do by the hour. With it being only 3 of us, we went with the per person option instead of the hour(which is better for a large group). The Omni VR was totally worth it however my kid and i both had issues with the controllers
Back Alley Lanes is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the welcoming staff makes you feel right at home with their friendly and attentive service. The food is top-notch?whether you're craving a snack or a full meal, every dish is delicious and satisfying. The best part? The huge selection of games and activities! Whether you're into bowling, arcade games, or even something a little more unique, there's no shortage of entertainment options to keep you and your friends having fun all day. It's the
This was a great experience we went for glow bowl and they had great music and the lanes were very new and modern this was an amazing experience they had great staff that helped with any needs 100% recommend any families to stop into this bowling alley if they are in town.
My husband and I brought our 5 year old to Back Alley today and it was absolutely fantastic. Marcus and Amber were extremely professional and FRIENDLY throughout the entire time we were there! They even cheered on our 5 year old while he was bowling and made him feel super special! The place was really clean and the food was SUPERB! We are local so we definitely found one of our new favorite spots! Thanks for giving us a wonderful experience today Amber and Marcus! We will be back soon!!
Extremely clean, reasonably priced & good food. Amber was friendly & helpful. The entire family had fun!
I recently did my daughter?s 12th birthday! I will be coming back for any group family event or gathering! They were so amazing to us and they literally texted and worked with me on the plans. They accommodated last minute guests that decided to arrive and we had an absolute blast with the kids and family! Thank you so much for everything you did for my daughter?s birthday!!
We bought two $15 play cards and after one hour of fun, our prizes were a few pieces of candy. 3 machines did not properly work, one machine gave out zero tickets. For the number of tickets one can possibly win, one would have to spend quite a sum for these dollar toy prizes. Biggest issue: The machines are TOO close together, so you cannot host large groups. Some felt claustrophobic. Also, the VR game on the other side is average at best (Low quality graphics).
This is such a hidden family fun gem! Had such a wonderful time with my kids and family while visiting from out of town. We were able to order food from the lanes which was reasonably priced and good! My kids range in age from 6-15 and they all had a blast! Especially in the arcade games. The team on staff were wonderful! Efficient, pleasant, & professional. Highly recommend!!
Super cool place! They have about 8 or 10 bowling lanes, with comfy seating. The food was really, really good. There is a good amount of arcade games. There are two gaming rooms, which was a cool surprise. This establishment is inside an old mall but it's very nice inside both areas. Definitely give them a try. We'll definitely be back the next time in Daytona.
Deanna was so sweet to help us out with our party. Absolutely love this place! Every person I've met here has been incredibly nice. Thank you!
The service is amazing, drink are delicious and food is so good! I can't thank Deanna enough for such kindness and helpfulness throughout the whole night. Can't thank her enough for helping me plan a great birthday for my boy????
Amber and Marcus greeted us with smiles and made sure everything was taken care of for our impromptu birthday celebration. 10/10 recommend this place. Prices are great for the service you receive
Received an invitation to a birthday party here, this place is awesome! Would definitely come back. The VR experience is out of this world! The bowling alley is really nice. The burger I saw walk by looked delicious. Lots of arcade games for the space, pool table and full bar with beer on tap. Happy hour and daily specials. Fun for little kids and the big ones! The kids are going to talk about this for days to come! (Age 14&16)
Amazing place for all ages, we spent a night to celebrate .y husband birthday and we all had such a great time, they have great food, best French fries, a great selection of beer, the glow in the dark bowling lanes is super nice at a very affordable price, many arcade games, and the best of all the omni arena. If you are looking for a place where to have a great time, you should definitely go there! 100 % you should visit this place
Very nice place. Great variety of video and vr games, pinball, bowling and more. Very friendly staff, awesome bar/food, and extremely clean. Can't wait to go back.
Love the games,for me it's pinball. Modern. Enjoy their food. Meet great people there. Recommend giving them a try,dont6think you'll be disappointed. Bring the kids.
We've lived in a lot of states and this is one of the nicest bowling alleys we've to. I loved the couches. It gives it a laid back feel. The young man who helped us was really nice. If we're ever back in the area I'd definitely come back.
cool location but horrible Customer service. The staff consistently uses excuses for their bad business etiquette. The owner and management Ignored our concerns and wouldn't help us clarify why members of our group got charged but was unable to play... showed attitudes because we paid for two games and finished them before we left because it was after closing
We had a wonderful party at Back Alley Lanes VR-Cade. There are so many fun games for the kids and the Omni Arena blew me away. I wish I could give them more than five stars. Oh, and the staff and food are amazing too.
Fun entertainment. Not as big as other arcade style places, but definitely not as loud. Great bar. Great food, too.
Amber was so great! She was attentive and very fast, the bowling alley was busy and she was on top of it! Will be back for sure.
Deanna/dianna was the absolute best, super welcoming and a clean and fun environment! Food is also pretty good! Drinks are great
I love this place. It was my first time being there and all of my family walked out of there saying that they loved this place that they want to come back. We felt very welcome. It had an atmosphere of family oriented. They have a restaurant arcade bowling alley. My kids were literally running around and nobody said anything they were just having so much fun The staff was so welcoming and so prepared to answer any questions and ready to attend we went there to celebrate my brother birthday and he loved it d
Came here after a recent Facebook post to check it out. My family was looking for fun stuff in the local area to do. If you like barcades like Dave and busters or GameTime I highly recommend this spot. First the food review: We had the Melty which was fantastic, if could be a meal by itself instead of an appetizer. Their sweet chili sauce is really good. 10/10 The Cowboy Burger was a good BBQ style burger. A little small on the patie but delicious. 8/10 The 2 meat BBQ dinner was really good. The brisket
Fantastic fun time. Food was great. Drinks were cold. Kids were happy!
Everyone there for good clean family entertainment - staff are THE BEST and food is yummy!!! Definitely check this venue out!!
Great time bowling with the family. Great food, drinks, and arcade. My only issue is the couches at the bowling lanes kinda are in the way but other than that it was a great time!
Great local family owned establishment. Amazing food, delicious drinks. Professional, courteous, friendly staff. Amber was our waitress and bartender tonight and was amazing. We bowled 3 games and played arcade games. We had a blast for family night. They have specials most nights. So it is definitely family friendly that will not break the bank!! Check them out!!
I came with a large group. We had an amazing time! The staff was friendly and efficient. Very clean facility. The food, especially those wings were cooked and seasoned perfectly!! This is our new hangout spot!
Cane during monday happy hour with my family. We were the only ones there for the most part and we had a great time. Food and apps were good and they had a Barbie and Ken drink both were also very good and waitress was pleasant and made sure our orders were correct ????
This place is a blast! $25 an hour prayer line $3 for shoe rental per person. They have a bar and a small seating area for groups, a full-size arcade, and they also have a server for the lanes as well if you'd like to eat while bowling.
Great service, the waitress recommended the cheese steak with chicken and it was really good. Fun way to waste and hour or two.
We were here on an off day for our boys' football nationals. They had half off games and other food and drink specials that day. Great family atmosphere.
I held my daughter?s birthday party here, and everything was seamless from booking to the day of. The event staff was easy to contact and followed up days leading up to the party. The day of staff was very helpful with carrying decor, information and helping with the Omni arena and game cards. The arena was a hit, and we loved that you can email the video experience! The food was amazing! The adults enjoyed it more than the kids, I think! Not your average arcade/bowling alley food. All in all, everyone h
We came in from out of town...we came here twice. Desi was awesome and so friendly!! Wonderful customer service and friendly. Definitely a place I would come back too!!
You can always rely on the friendliness and cleanliness of this establishment. My boys and I love this place & that's why we'll keep coming back. My youngest had an issue with a game & the manager was quick to resolve it and he made sure that my son was happy. That's what I love about local, family owned and operated businesses. They actually care!
Grind and caring atmosphere. Best free coaching for my son who made Varsity Schoharie School bowling team this year. So close to our Florida home at Pa'S beach house.practice practice practice!
I am so glad that I found this place! The party package was a great deal. I had my husband?s surprise 30th birthday party here yesterday and it was a blast! Everyone was so attentive to us the whole time. The manager and her crew, helped me decorate my party room, and all of the food we ordered was phenomenal. The space is literally like the perfect size and the games were so much fun. I honestly felt so catered to the entire time we were there. The staff were all super nice and helpful. The bartender was
They have all new games, everything is clean, and nothing is broken. Staff is helpful. Food and drinks also great
It has been a while since I have come here. Every time I do it is always so nice and clean and the staff is super friendly! There have definitely been upgrades since the last visit! There are SO MANY more games added in the arcade area and all of them function perfectly. The food is great and the beer is ice cold! I recommend coming here for a date night, a night out with friends or bring the whole family. It is a guarantee that everyone will have a wonderful time!
Hosted a large team building event here for a group of 30 students from a local university. It was great! The staff were thoughtful, attentive, and clearly had pride in what they did. The entire facilities were spotless. The food was really solid, not your typical bowling alley fare. We all had a great time! Only recommendation would be to put an arrow on the sign that you see coming from Nova as a lot of people got a bit lost on the way in.
We love this place! Totally affordable...with so many different weekly specials to choose from there's truly something for everyone (even date night!) The layout is great...It's not too big and not too small, not super loud and is the perfect vibe for my special needs child. The establishment is always clean and the staff is amazing. There's never really a long wait for bowling, if there's even a wait at all. And the games are always operable, as expected. If you're playing games for tickets, the prize cou
Amazing fun professional staff Family friendly ?? Cleanest bathrooms ever !!
We love the arcade. The food and drinks are great. The staff is very nice and helpful when needed.
very clean bathrooms nice service smelled good inside just overall very clean and a safe environment to be in
Love this place. No complaints. Great food drinks games and bowling. Special shout out to amber. Not only is she a great bartender. She's personable She is amazing w customers and kids. And she's a large reason why I enjoy coming here
Great bowling lanes all new equipment and also a great staff and bartender.I will definitely be back 100%
Had blast with my son. Played an hour of bowling with him. We ordered Cheese Quesdilla, and I had the Cuban Hotdog with onion rings. Wish I could have had some dipping sauce for the onion rings. Besides, that it was GOOD
They keep the place really clean, staff is super friendly, and they do specials every night of the week. Definitely worth checking out, the food is decent and the wall art is awesome.
My family and I came to bowl and we bowled four games. All of the staff were very polite and there was a lady coming by making sure everyone was okay and asking if anyone needed anything. Very clean facility, fun games, good times. One employee I would like to point out is Zachary, he made sure I got my money back when one of the games didn't work, and he even gave me an extra dollar. Very polite guy. 10/10 recommend.
Food is a amazing. Staff are so nice and helpful
I had my son?s 8th birthday at Back Alley Lanes. What a hidden gem! Everything was smooth from the initial booking until the end. I was in regular contact ahead of the party and the party hostess on the day was very attentive and friendly. We will absolutely return.
Step into Virtual Vibes, where dreams come alive, A friendly haven where imagination can thrive. With headsets on, you'll take to the skies, In a clean, bright space, watch your worries fly!
Love this place, first of all I love that it's family owned. It's a smaller place but lots of fun stuff to do. We've been here bowling and playing arcade games a few times. They have pretty good food and good specials.
This place is great! We sprung a 20 person birthday party on them last minute (at 10pm the night before a noon time party- thank you Florida weather), and they were amazing! We bowled for a while, played in the arcade for a while, and were even able to do the virtual reality game, which is really cool! The birthday boy was definitely happy. The staff was wonderful, the games were fun, and the food was delicious ?? it is a bit pricey, but that is literally the only complaint, we would recommend for some goo
Everyone was great to us this was our second time coming and again we had a great time with Great peole Marcus took care of us and we will gladly be back and tell our family and friends
We were looking for a good family fun spot and happened upon Joey's Bowlcade. Words don't express how great the experience was. Service was great. Eployee in the front was quick, amiable, and very helpful. The waitress regularly checked on us and was very personable. The cook brought out the final part of our order minutes after the waitress brought out 4 of the 5 meals and was also very friendly. I just can't believe the friendliness of the entire staff and the cleanliness of the establishment. And the foo
We brought a group of close to 30 people from our church for a bowling night. We had a wonderful time!! The management, staff and ownership were extremely accommodating, friendly, and attentive! It's very clean and well-kept. A great spot for families, friends, and group events!
Great prices, great service, great food, and good family place.
My daughter's Stock the Bar party was held here and it was perfect! The food was on point and games galore! The VR is entertainment by itself and worth the visit just for that!! The staff is phenomenal from the management team to the kitchen staff. If you have a party in mind co tact them and they will make it happen!! Thank you everyone who made our night a success, we are already planning our next trip.
This is a really great set up! congratulations for an awesome clean fun business! Perfect for dates, family & friends. Staff all are nice. This place needs to get more out there tell all of your friends. I really hope the best for this place I wanna always keep coming back. Good prices. Gonna try the food one day I'm sure it's good. They got alcohol to good prices on that to. Nice bowling lanes. Super clean smells nice. Enjoyed my time there :)
This is a great spot for a family to relax and have a good time! Be weary of some of the staff members though. I would have given this review a 5-star rating if it weren't for an incidence with an off duty employee on Septemper 29th, 2023. When I arrived, I made my way to the clean and organized bar, and no one was there to greet me and 2 females were sitting at the bar stools. After waiting 5 minutes with no one in sight, I peeked my head around the corner and gave a shout ?hello? and a Caucasian girl wi
I had a last-minute party with my kids the staff and the experience here was fantastic. Zach and Blair gave fantastic service. I couldn't be more pleased. This spot is a must check out. It's a great place to enjoy the Sunday football. Have a drink and play some good games. Thank you guys for an awesome experience.
The game room is great! And they have vr
Family was visiting and they wanted to go bowling and play games. It was a good time
Love this place ! Great prices for Birthday parties, and excellent service! As always my son had a great time for his 8th birthday party! Everyone is so helpful!
Visited here on a Tuesday night in a group of 7 that included two kids (13, 11). We had to wait for our lanes so we ate in the restaurant area and then played some arcade games. The food was good, someone ordered a gluten free bun and the chef came out to explain the precautions they had taken for them in case they had full blown celiac disease! The favorites of the night were the mozzarella appetizer and the fries appetizer. We also ordered burgers and fried chicken sandwiches and everyone was happy with t
Best food I have ever had at any bowling alley. Compared to new Smyrna bowling alley. Staff was so friendly unlike my experience at new Smyrna especially Frank. Who was so rude to me do m
Went with my colleagues for a team building event. We did bowling and had sliders, meatballs, hand-breaded chicken tenders, and fries. Food was pretty good for a bowling alley and good selection of drinks and good prices for happy hour. But the best part came later? after 2 games of bowling I was hungry again and ordered the melty mound: fries topped with cheese, bacon, chopped tenders tossed in a sweet Thai chili sauce, and drizzled with ranch. O-M-G! A fun spot I'll definitely be returning to!
Food was very good, certainly a fun 8 lane space for family, and birthday party events. Good Bar, great Philly Sub, Hand breaded Onion Rings, Good fall football and other sports space. Friendly Welcoming Staff. They have WiFi! , Good place to mall walk outside of and into too! Got a good all four handicapped parking slots were open Tues after lunch, so for those who need them here they are.
We had a blast my sister and my Son were bowling in these videos.
Very nice and clean. The female manager was great and answered questions about me possibly doing a bday party there for my son in the future. I'm on a no sugary drinks but the staff sent us water out without even asking! The arcade area looks clean as well! I hope this company sticks around for a while!!! A hidden gem for sure xo
Meghan did a great job setting up our large party. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Highly recommend this for a fun time with your group!
We had the chicken fingers and fries. The chicken fingers are battered fresh. They were so delicious. We saw the nachos come out and they were huge. The burgers are fresh made to order. We are definitely coming back. JP NSB
This local, owner owned & operated Bowling Alley & VRcade is our new hang out place! The owners and staff were so nice and welcoming! It was bright and spotless and the FOOD! Ohmigosh, we got the hand breaded chicken strips and they were AMAZING! All the food is made in house to order. I can't rave enough about this local dig!
Was taken here for a work outting with AT&T! Was incredibly fun, family friendly, with GOOD food. The chicken was great - drinks were great. Didn't get to try their VR but definitely looking to next time around! 10/10 recommend if you're looking for a fun family time!
We just had our last night of the Lousy Bowling League. What a great idea and a great group of people. I can't wait for the next one!
We celebrated my sons 6th birthday at Joey B's over the weekend and had THE BEST time!! From planning stages with Kenny to the actual event, everything went perfectly! The level of service was superb! Staff was very attentive and went above and beyond for the 3 hours we were there. We are looking forward to our next visit!
Stop by here just to bowl with friends had plenty of lanes available and the arcade had 20 to choose from
Back Alley lanes is a clean, well-run bowling alley and arcade. The staff are attentive and the bowling lanes are great! They have several party rooms and great food. Awesome venue for a party! Highly recommend.
Okay folks this is the place you want to go bowl! When you are on vacation in Florida you need inside activities sometimes! This was such a pleasant experience ?! First of all Ryan is a super worker and needs a raise! Before you go I highly recommended looking up the rates so that you can figure out exactly what you need to rent when you get there! It takes about an hour for 4 people to bowl 1 game! They rent by the hour and by the game! Desi, also a super manager who is just ecstatic to do his job a
Very friendly staff, loving, and kind. Visiting from Tennessee and got to talk sports with the gentleman running the facility. Enjoyed my stay!
I came in for a drink. The bartender was good and quick with my order. Her name was Mandy I definitely will be back soon plus they have fun pinball machines.
We celebrated my son's 10th birthday last night. I was impressed with the level of attention I got from the staff. The food was great and on time, our guests had a blast at the VR. The VR staff was extremely patient and friendly...also super patient with mostly 10 year old hyper active kids. The VR had a couple of age apropiate games... The arcade part was fun and kids were happy with the toys they got with tickets. Overall, super easy birthday party, highly recommended if you want to have a good time and n
Awesome place great for family or date night. Lots to do food is what you'd expect nothing fancy, none the less fun spot.
Went for the bowling. Didn't get a chance to look around the corner and into the bar space, vr experience, or arcade. But as for the bowling and the atmosphere of the place it was actually really nice. All lanes were working, everywhere was clean looking, up to date screens for all the lanes, and even had some sports channels playing on other screens while bowling. Was a great experience that doesn't hurt the wallet. Will definitely go again. 10/10 Gem hole in the wall.
This place is awesome took my daughter for her 16th birthday yesterday. My whole family had an amazing time loved all the arcade games,bowling and VR food was fresh and delicious loved the homemade onion rings very clean as well definitely coming back thank you for showing us a good time.
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.
