Customer Reviews

Had a great time! The feel of nostalgia mixed with the good food and drinks make this a 5 star experience! The kids were extra entertained with the arcade. Love this place! Will definitely recommend.

Fun time watching the kids bowling. The pizza is delisoous!

We went for my birthday and the guy at the counter was super nice! We were on the first lane and the floor was perfect. It wasn't too crowded, but it wasn't empty either. They even took a picture for us.

This place is in need of some serious work. We bowled two games and continually had to re-rack. They eventually moved us to another lane but we had the same issues so we cut our visit short. Shoe rentals are nasty and the whole place could use a cleaning. Food is decent and the beer was cold so that's the only thing preventing it from being a 1-star review. We'll go elsewhere from now on.

My daughter picked this venue specifically because it was near her school, lol. I've never been there before today, but the employee's where polite, helpful, and very patient with my group of screaming second-graders and a few toddlers. They where on top of everything, and I really appreciated how hard they worked considering how packed the place was.

Classic Lanes is literally down the road from me. I had never been inside until yesterday. I attended a friends birthday party there, and I really enjoyed the afternoon. Great place to bring the kiddos for a day of bowling, food, and lots of fun. The even had the kid friendly lane rails and ball slide for the kids to use. Now that I know that they also serve food, I might just have to make plans to go & bowl, as soon as my knee is better!!!

Had a great family bowling day. Service was friendly and quick. The food was good, everyoneloved the pretzel bites. Overall, it was a great experience.

This was our second time going to classic lanes. First time, we had 8 people with us, the lanes broke and they gave us a partial refund. Over a year later, we come back with 9 people for a post Thanksgiving outing. Bought 2 lanes. One broke. Again. The guy was super nice, both times. We got a partial refund... but still... it kinda sucked because we were doing teams and never got to finish our game. But staff was very friendly and apologetic.

Great place to bowl Have pool tables. Very pleasant people , helpfull, great bar, with good bartender. Keno, atmosphere is great . Singing with line dancing on Fridays Support young people that bowl. School does not support bowling program. Classic lanes has supported young bowling teams with money. To travel to tournaments with raffles to help raise money. lots of family support for young bowlers..have great league bowling competition. It is just a great place for family entertainment.

The place was clean. Did not have any equipment issues. Staff was polite and helpful. Great family fun atmosphere. Pricing is average/affordable. Cost to bowl is per person per game. I would recommend bowling at this location.

This is the best bowling alley around. They have great hamburgers. A good bartender. Cheap drinks.. You can find good deals on some nights for family bowling. They seem to have lots of good league bowling action..

My family and I were staying at Scottsbluff for the night and decided to find something to do for the evening and found this bowling alley, I have to say I wasn't sure what to expect from just judging the outside but I was pleasantly surprised the inside was clean and all the equipment worked, also the prices were really good we paid $12 apiece and were able to bowl as many games we wanted for 2 hours (shoes included).

Great place to have Fun ,Family Environment , Plus ?? , Pool Tables , Keno , They Have Food , and a Bar , Karaoke on Saturday Evening. Everyone is pleasant and Friendly . I Have Made Lot Of Friends There. I Have Never Been Disappointed When I Have Went There.

Classic Lanes was a wonderful surprise we didn't know about. A modern and clean facility with a wonderful staff and kitchen and full menu. We will definitely be back soon. Thank you.

This place is one of my go to when I want to bowling. The prices are good and if you get the chance, try their pizza!! It's thin crust, but not extremely crispy.

Great time and what great workers. You'll enjoy every minute there and treated with respect.

Friendly staff, great bar (excellent bartender!), yummy food. Highly recommended the burgers. Lanes had no issues. Will be visiting again!

Omg! Their pizza is the greatest! We have r Christmas parties there! Nice & friendly staff. Thank u Classic Lanes!

This place is great. Friendly staff. Great prices. Kids and us have a lot of fun when we go.

It's a typical bowling alley. Employees are all really nice. Foods good for bar food drinks are cheap. Overall good experience

Very helpful staff, Clean establishment. I might be having my 50th birthday party here in July.

I was here for a birthday party, the kids had a fun party although many of the arcade games were out of order. The food & drinks are way overpriced for the quality & quantity offered.

Fun and relatively cheap! I'd suggest a group of 3 or 4 for a good day without piling up too much cost

Place was pretty clean and well maintained. Prices were good and the food was fine. I'll be back??

Its reasonably priced. I little bit of everything here. Food, beer , pool table, keno and video games. We had a great time.

Super friendly staff. Never been to a bowling alley with a bar before. That was dope. 10/10 would go again.

Food is actually pretty good ,lanes in very predictable condition,machines work well

Way to expensive for a family day out. In my opinion the amount of money you spend on one game and four shoes especially when you have children is not worth it. Plus the facility is no better than the other bowling alley. My opinion go elsewhere.

Awesome place for events. Especially birthdays. Great service.

Friendly staff great food good lanes and always a fun experience and affordable for a family night out.

Very fun bowling alley. Good staff, good food. Good environment, just a good place to have fun for a few hours.

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.”
