The bowling aspect of this place is pretty awesome. Cool lighting . Music bumping . They have some good deals on games ...pricing is fair. And the shoes are not all beat up and worn out . However , something sinister ... happened on those grounds at some point in the past . I had to pray the blood of jesus over myself and my wife just to finish our game . No joke . It was intense ! Very heavy .... It was caught in pictures . So , I will round my review of this business by saying the Bowlero
Great service. Mr. Frank is a great guy! Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere...look forward to returning when I shake some more rust off ?? I'm from the gutter I utter...ya mutta... ?? Jk.Love y'all.
The guy at the counter was courteous considering we had to wait. Call ahead, especially if planning with your soldiers due to leagues. Balls are in ok shape, but some need to be retired. Our lane functioned properly 99% of the time. Would come back. Check out the specials!
Went to enjoy the 7:00pm unlimited bowling deal on Tuesday night. What they don't tell you anywhere is there is a Summertime Pass for kids that are the only ones allowed to bowl until 9:00pm every day! So you have to wait 2 hours? For a special that supposedly started at 7:00pm, but they won't let anyone actually use it until 9:00pm??
Took my son here for his birthday and we had a great time. We went on a Tuesday and had we not called we wouldn't have known that the bowling league is there every night after 7pm so lanes are limited. Thankfully we still had room for everyone. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly and we will definitely be back!
Amazing place with amazing staff to come enjoy with family. Come here every Saturday and always have a fun time. Mr.Frank always makes sure we have a great time.
It's gets a little crowded on the weekends but it's a great place to bowl with family and friends. Good food, a variety of drinks, and a great atmosphere.
Fun night for reasonable money. Good beer, good snacky foods.
Visited Bowlero with my family while on vacation. The staff were pleasant and the facility was clean. The bathrooms were clean as well. They had an arcade which the kids loved after our bowling experience.
TONS OF LANES AND CLEAN!! My son and I went here for afternoon bowling and had a great time. Tons of parking, decent selection of food, shoes that appeared clean, lots of balls with a wide variety of finger holes, and tons of lanes. Most importantly, staff was great. They were helpful, accommodating, and ready to assist with any need. Tristan at the front desk was great. They also had a good deal of video games and other things to do. Possibly laser tag but we didn't venture down there to confirm. Looking t
They told me the food/bar closes at 12:15 I came to the food place before that about 12:10 and the lady said ?hold on? I did and once she came back RIGHT AT 12:15 she decided that they are no longer serving food. The bar still serviced us as they should so thank you. Although everybody for food should be FIRED.
This place is scammy, the family went out here after a graduation, we had to place a card to hold our lane when we got there, stayed for a couple hours. I proceeded to the counter when we were done and proceeded to pay in cash so the card on file was not charged. We had been there for roughly 2 hours and it was like 140$ and they charged it out to us 2 times. We living 1300 miles away called and they denied being paid cash and absolutely refused to refund the card. Please do not let these people have access
Excellent service and handled a party of over 15 people very well. The food was great and the drinks was delicious
The Lanes are clean and we had fun
It's been a few years since I went bowling here (probably 7 tbh). Son, bf, and I bowled 3 games and rented 3 shoes, and it ended up around $110 which is kinda insane (it was something like black out or no light time, I don't know). Kinda crazy to charge extra to turn off the lights to bowl but.. regardless we had a good time. The shoes seemed brand new so that was really nice. It wasn't super busy, we had minimal issues bowling (had to service call once for reset but they were quick). Overall super satisfie
Specifically, regarding the Pro Shop at this Bowlero, these guys are great! Brought in a new ball, they measured me and watched me bowl a few to get my throw down, drilled my ball same day while I waited, even let me try it out for a while on their lanes. Will go back for all my bowling equipment needs and questions.
Bowling was so fun but Mike at the front desk is awesome! He's committed to great service and is very friendly! I definitely recommend coming to Bowlero!!!! Such a great experience!
This place was very affordable and fun we enjoyed are time with are soldier
Had a great time. Booked lanes online so check in was very easy. Lighter bowling ball selection was limited at the time of our visit. Staff was friendly.
This is our 3rd year having our school staff party here. We really enjoy it! The staff went all out decreasing for us! Only complaint is the wait to get nachos refilled. But they were amazing!! Awesome fun time! Laser tag had great memories and many laughs.
Insanely understaffed. Like maybe have more than 10 people on shift to deal with 200 customers? I mean paying $200 for 5 people to go out should give them the funds to be staffed but what do I know
Very nice bowling alley. Fun for adults and children. The booths at the lane were very comfortable. Snacks were good and customer service was very friendly. I can't wait to come back.
I've he never heard newly (not sure the date) renovated. 48 well manicured lanes. 2 full service bars at each of the alley. Full arcade for family and childrens/kids fun. Conveniently located right off the interstate and in a quiet area of Columbus.
Receive awesome service during my baby shower and they also decorated
they gave us a game on the house and we didn't break the bank...or a highscore for that matter!
My wife and I attended the NYE celebration and it was a great experience. Well organized, food was very good. Kudos to staff and our waitress Michelle.
It has been years since I went bowling. They were pretty clean, organized, and very friendly. I had a great time with my family. The pricing wasn't bad at all, except the food price. That's a different story.
Had a great experience. Drinks were good
First time coming here. We had to switch lanes 3 times and even on the 3rd lane it kept messing up. Would not come here again
Spring break was amazing, the unlimited bowling was amazing for my family, I love how they catered to the children during spring break.
Great environment! Friendly, and clean! We had so much fun! First time here
Great bowling alley, very clean , well lit and kid friendly. A couple bars , pro shop and an arcade. Bathrooms were nicely kept, the staff was extremely good, especially the guy at the check in counter ( wish we knew his name) . NOW.... the bad, the prices!!! Everything was extremely high and we witnessed other patrons questioning prices. From adult beverages, soda and even the milk shakes ( our wives had one). We didn't eat , but we witnessed a man buy 4 burgers and fries with 4 pops ( soda) for his grand
Great place to have a drink and throw some balls. Kids birthday parties are great, food is usually good.
Great place. Strike ten pro shop is the best!!!
Not good,the pizza was horrible,worst ever ,only one person working,not enough people!Bowling lanes didn't break down tho!!
Great for a fun night out. Can't wait for the weekend....Friday and Saturday starting at 9pm for around $30.00 per person, unlimited bowling with shoes included. I'm not sure how long this will keep going, but I will get the most out of it.
Why even be open on Wednesdays and Thursdays if you're gonna have a full house of leauge. Just close on those days instead of letting people drive up here for no reason.
Food was good but little on the high side but was worth it. The server was excellent and patient. My family enjoyed everything. Will go again soon
Lanes break down a lot, pin setters drop pins regularly. League bowling is a challenge to be on good set of lanes. Lanes are not oiled consistently & pattern changes from week to week in league play. With the amount of bowlers in Columbus GA area there's a great market for new bowling center. Not one named bowlero.
Enjoyed bowling with my family, we had an amazing time, the staff was awesome and it lasted far longer than I expected. We're still talking about it and can't wait to return.
We went for my sister's 27th Birthday and we had a great time. It wasn't too crowded, the food was good. We had the large pizza. The waitress came around with a new tube drink and it was sooo good and it was only $2. We're going back for my dad's birthday.
Went for the first time due to a bowling tournament. It was very clean and the staff were super friendly.
Fun time! The staff was extremely helpful. The food was great! I was with a group, and fun was had by all!
My husband and I came to visit last week during the day for spring break with two kids. The place was packed. We were greeted quickly even with a line of people coming in behind us. We needed help with the lane ant some point and this same employee stepped in right away and helped with a smile the whole time. He helped us with arcade and also a laser tag game ALL WHILE CLEARLY RUNNING THE WHOLE PLACE ALL BY HIMSELF. He was phenomenal and again stayed kind and professional and fast the whole time. We asked h
It was our first time here and Bowlero truly showed out! Great friendly staff and clean facility. Great lanes as well. The day was great we will be returning.
I had a blast our church family went for a night of bowling and I tell you we had a really great time they gave us a great group discount we had booked in advance the even had our section decorated I thought that was so nice this is a great place to go and just have great fun 5 stars ratings
Pretty good bowling alley, great customer service. I went bowling with friends on a busy Saturday night. The alley and all equipment were clean and well maintained. Had to wait quite awhile for food due to how busy it was. We bowled two games and had a lot of issues with the pins resetting. However, Frank took great care of us and ensured we were able to finish our games with minimal delays. Give that man a raise!
My new favorite spot! My boyfriend and I have been here a few times within the last month, and we are so eager to come back! Great prices and friendly staff!
The bowling experience was fun, only problem is there were no small balls available so my niece has to use one that was too big. Game area looked nice, had something for everyone. Also, not sure if it's normal but the kitchen was already closed by the time we got there(10:30-11ish)so we couldn't eat.
This place is pretty awesome. It's also very clean for such a large bowling alley. The manager (I think his name was Frank) was very cool and had a very smooth but knowledgeable approach. They made our group (8 of us) feel like we were never a burden when getting shoes or drinks or food during our stay. Plenty of lanes, it's a good place for a planned party or a random stop. I'm going to make this place a regular visit anytime I'm in town.
Tristan went above and beyond to help make our experience at Bowlero a pleasant one after a chaotic experience with our home state's location would not assist us. The customer service was fantastic! The place was clean and was well worth the visit.
Such a fun place! The food is great, the service is great! I absolutely adore the manager, Jordan. She's so sweet and fun to talk to! If you're looking for a fun night out on a Friday, you definitely need to check out Bowlero, you won't be disappointed!
We had a great experience! Our lane kept getting hung up and they fixed it quickly every time. We didn't miss a beat with our games! Great atmosphere too.
Awesome experience been here many times with friends and family. Longer lanes then stars and strikes which is great. Definitely recommend if you want a chill non crowded place to bowl you should come here.
I go to Bowlero pretty much everyday. Everyday I am greeted at the counter and when I am bowling I am always asked if I'd like a drink or some food. The pro shop is amazing and James is a top-notch PSO. I would not hesitate to go to this location for some daily fun or a party!
This was a great time with my youngest boy for family day. The staff was helpful, knew what they were doing and the place was clean.
I love this place!! Super fun arcade and alley with a ton of yummy food options. I always have a great time when I go here!!! Highly recommend :)
I had a horrible experience there today. The lady at the desk was very rude, on her phone the whole time. We asked for help and she said she can't help us if she don't know what the problem is, but she didnt even come to check to see if we needed help. To top it all off she put a kids birthday party by out lane and another man lane and the kids was running and playing through your lanes. That was very dangerous because they could have got hit by a bowling ball. I bowl on a league and I will not come back th
So inefficient, lanes have been like this for literally 45 minutes and can't get a lane. Waist of time this is the first negative review I have ever done.
Finally a decent bowling alley. A lot of lanes with good seating. The house balls are okay but that's to be expected. They do serve food but it can take a long time to get it. It took like 20 minutes to get chips and salsa (it wasn't busy either). Overall it's a nice place, even has a good arcade and I believe laser tag.
It's pricy, but the staff is friendly and helpful, food is good. It was fun for sure
was amazing great family time but food was a little pricey 14 for 8 pieces of chicken that's way to much but my family had a great time
Waited for employees to finish conversation then to ring up their food. Shoes are together with tape. Waited for more then over 15 minutes for pins to be reset. So went to get a refund. Then the young lady seemed concerned and wanted to move our lane. Will not be back.
Amazing staff. 0 complaints ????
I had a blast when I visited here on 12-28-24!!!
The bowling alley had great food and service available. What I did not like was the fact that you had to wait between squads for all of the lanes to be oiled. This time should have been built in into the schedule so that no one had to wait an hour after check in in order to start bowling.
Very nice 48 lanes, very friendly personnel at proshop and very knowledgeable
Not a good experience at all. Bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. It was something out of an horror movie. They had one person attending the bar with a line of people. No waitresses at all. Stars and strikes is way better than this . This place needs to be shut down. I felt like I was going to catch hepatitis b or something. I didn't even put on the nasty bowling shoes afraid I was going to get athlete's feet .
The bar was quite and enjoyable during the weekday.The drinks are not as high in price as most places.They have 1 pool table.The bowling area was clean and well kept.The ladies bathroom was clean and didn't stink.The mens bathroom, I was told, was a disgusting mess.It was not clean and stunk.I recommend this place but bathroom needs care.
It was cool! Enjoyed myself. The atmosphere was on good, the staff was friendly, and the drinks at the bar looked pretty good! The only concern I have is was the restroom cleanliness. There should be an hourly check to ensure cleanliness or some type of rotation check! Other than that it was all good??
Celebrated my nephew birthday here with all of our huge family. We had the best time!! Everyone was nice and the place is clean. Very good drinks
Nice place with a cool atmosphere. Food was nice and drinks were good. Great date night out of the ordinary. Will return again.
Great afternoon celebrating my daughter's fifteenth birthday! The manager on duty was amazing. They were short staffed, but he handled it with grace and grit! Will definitely be back soon!
Very disorganized. Bartender showed up late. Nice facility, just disorganized.
the best customer service. helped me and my son so much. we will be back!
Had a great time with friends and the facility was great, but the service was lacking. Our waitress was super nice and helpful, but there wasn't enough help for a Saturday night. She did all she could, just needed additional staff support. 30 minutes for a drink is TOO long to wait.
Such a wonderful environment. It really has a throw back vibe. I've always went to Stars and Strikes but for bowling, I definitely prefer this place for the nostalgia alone. Also, this may be a negative to some - if you have children, the bumpers either are up for everyone or up for no one. Personally, I suck so this was a positive for me to not have to have everyone know that I probably needed them more than the 7 year old.
GREAT TIME W/MY KIDS...(ages 21,23,34??) GOOD MUSIC, DRINKS & ATMOSPHERE. Downside: balls getting stuck, returning several minutes later(some didn't). Had to change lanes. Same problem. Not even offered a complimentary drink, discount, arcade card NUTHN. Go with the people u love the most (@ least 3 besides urself Spend $100 to get in. Another $60 on drinks & overlook the aggravation of horrible customer service for tech problems. ????
We use to really enjoy our time here but I can tell they've changed management. It took 30min and 2 calls to get our ball unstuck and half of the arcade games were not working properly. The staffed seemed too bothered to help us. Customers can see employees when they are called for help, look in our direction then shrug their shoulders and roll their eyes and continue working behind the desk. 2 stars only because they put so much effort into the remodel but it's quickly going back down hill.
nice experience, enjoying hanging out, but lanes need maintenance
Tons of fun, great exercise had a blast
OMG, my group had an amazing time. From booking to setup, I really don't know where to begin. My son wanted to go bowling for his birthday, and I'm so glad we chose to book here. The setup was customized with his name, we had several tables for the food spread that was easy to distribute to the kids, and the staff were most accommodating. Our drinks were really refilled and food lightly replenished. From Jessica in booking who sent over quotes and helped with establishing a foundation for this event, Ashley
Had a blast with the kids the food and drinks were ok for it not to be a resturant. Was able to watch my babies bowl. My 4 year old was running all over the place and nobody was rude about it at all. He loved the ramp that assist him with bowling to were he started pulling it over himself when it was his turn
I REALLY MESSED UP A GREAT GAME BY OPENING IN THE 2ND AND 9TH FRAME. HAD A GREAT TIME AS ALWAYS
Me and 2 of my friends went up here about a week ago we got moved 4 separate times and the last time we moved the lane completely didn't work we sat there for 30 mins waiting for it to up and run again but it didn't, we just packed up and left. Our group was not happy not even a refund
Me and my family booked a Christmas party today on Christmas Day and we had an amazing time. Frank took great care of us. I will come back. Thank you frank and the rest of the team. Food was great. Merry Christmas
1st off. This place is completely understaffed.. we ordered food at 700pm.. at 1030pm.. the food still wasn't even done... We had to get our money back... THEN I called to put my name on the waiting list.. at 3pm.. when I get there at 7.. the young lady at the front desk with blond hair told me it would be a 2 hour wait to bowl because the waiting list was so long.. after I explain to her that I called at 3pm... She then came back with another story.. it was as if they didn't want people there. It was not a
Great center and friendly staff.
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.”
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.
