We had the best time!! Great people! The bartender was great!! We had mini tacos and nachos the food was amazing!! We visited from South Carolina had such a great time!! Southern Bling Rings on Facebook! We had a great business partner fun day!!!
Great family place, good food, plus a full bar for the adults. They also have pool table and some claw grabbing games. Very clean and friendly atmosphere.
I come here every Wednesday for special recreation, it is always the highlight of my week. The staff there is super friendly, and incredibly accommodating. I honestly can't think of a better place to take our clients each week.
Went here as a kid and now i get to enjoy it as an adult. Spent $100 for my friends, fiance and I. Was worth every bit.
Clean, fun place. Good food. Good service.
We had a great time. This was our daughter's first time going bowling so the bumpers for the kids was so helpful for her.
Had a group event with 35 attending, and the staff really took great care of us! Pricing was perfect, the facility was very nice and the bowling equipment was great. They even have lane bumpers for the kids too. Thanks Fairway Lanes, we had a great time!
Bowled there for the first time for a tournament. The place was clean, the lanes were nice, very few mechanical issues. The food was good. I would recommend them for a fun time.
Fantastic place to relax and enjoy bowling. Really good food. Love the atmosphere. I don't drink, but the bar looks very nice. And the service is above the best. The pro shop helped me with a ball that needed some repair, now it's like new. They have made the bowling family experience. It's our number 1 place to go for fun and food. Keep up the great work. If there were more stars available, I'd give em.
Great bowling alley in a small town. Food is good, bathrooms are super clean & the whole atmosphere of the place is awesome. Bar serves great beer & they have TVs for playing the Seahawks games. Background music is good as well.
Great place for the family. Great atmosphere and nice people.
Great place to take the family for a day out! We took our kids here and they had fun bowling for the first time! They were able to use bumpers for their turns and then the bumpers automatically went down for the adults! We had so much fun that we invited friends and are going back. This next time we'll bowl longer and try the food!
I never thought bowling was so popular.. but the people were rushing in even before they opened.. Family owned bowling alley.. with a very nice, hard-working family.. I ordered the cheese fries, and I might be suing.. it was so hot and fresh, I burned my tongue ?? ????.. it was really good and a good amount.. If I lived out here, I would definitely come back here often..
We love Fairway! The owners and staff are absolutely amazing!!! The food is always delicious and they have a nice varied menu. The bar is top notch! I've spent much time here and the environment is wonderful and welcoming! They are super involved in the community and are constantly sponsoring things in our city! I've noticed that they are regularly trying to host fun events which is so awesome! I recommend calling about reservations esp Saturday nights for Monte Carlo because they are fun it's always packed
Amazing staff. Friendly and cozy place to bowl. Great beverage choices and excellent food. 10/10 Great choice for bowling ??
It was lots of fun, took my partner for his birthday to rock & bowl, had a nice drink & most staff were friendly besides one of them, they came up to us asking if a couple could join us, we kindly refused since I had called an hour ahead of time to reserve a spot since someone recommended I did that. The lady at the front was rude, said we were ?lucky we were even asked you guys? & proceeded to say ?because if we allow this we loose money? and it ruined the night for us. We are parents that havnt gone out i
Nice friendly staff, relaxed environment, the food was pretty good, but a little pricey. They have a couple crane games, and a few arcade games and a couple vending machines. Bowling is cheap depending on the day you go. I took my family there on a Monday, and for 5 people it came out to be $24 and some change. We went back on Wednesday, and it was $36 and change. But overall it was a nice place
Nice little hidden gem inside called Walkers Bar, good food, service and drinks.
Great place to roll a few games. Great lanes / automatic scoring, Cool staff. Good food and a full service Bar! What more could you ask for? Oh Yeah,, Pro Shop on site is staffed with helpful people and will be happy to fit you with a new ball . Monte Carlo on Saturday is a great time! Stay away, I prefer when I can get a lane.
Reasonably priced, clean center, friendly people, & goof food
We had a great time. The couches gave us a "private" feeling experience. The video screens will be absolutely shady to you when you miss a shot, which our group found entirely too amusing. The bar pours a lovely stiff drink for a decent price!
The food is awesome the staff are kind it is a great place to go if you are bored
We rented the party room. It has 2 bowling lanes in it. We had a lot of fun bowling. You can't bring in your own food. We had pizza and soda. The table space is limited. We went outside to the parking lot after we were done bowling. We had our cake as a tailgate party.
Nice put together establishment. Very clean and everything feels new. Great food and drinks for all ages. Makes the olympia establishments feel dirty.
Always have a blast here. Fridays are the worst. They don't take verical IDs so if you're a young adult forget about having any fun with a drink.
We had a blast! Great family day ??
This is a great alley for the whole family. We enjoyed that it was smaller than most. The lanes were clean and well kept. They are able to put bumpers up for individual players and not just all or none. They have a private two lane party area. The food is a bit pricey but does taste good. A pitcher of soda is pretty high. Overall great staff, very friendly, and accommodating.
SO GLAD THIS PLACE IS OPEN AGAIN!!! The walkers are such an awesome sweet loving family! I'm grateful to them for trying to bring back some family fun to our small town! The bar area looks incredible! Their burgers are so juicy and the drinks get you feeling GOOD really quick! Keep up the great work guys!
What a great place to play, gather and eat. The prices are great and so are the burgers. The owner and staff are gracious, kind and professional (especially with older folks). The remodel is fun and modern. Perfect family night out anytime, thank you for the great party!
Great food Friendly staff, go check them out Great family fun You need fun ...come on down
Best place in town to take a family for fun . My 3 kids love bowling . The 3 year old can use the kids rolling thing , the 5 and 7 year olds can throw balls to their hearts content with the bumpers up . Not to mention an order of nachos feeds the entire family .
Great place to go when looking for a place to go have a little fun. The food is pretty good. I would have given 5 stars except when I noticed the bottom of my brand new bowling shoes after the second time of using them, they looked like I wore them outside, which tells me they don't clean their floors very good, other than that one of the decent places to go hang out at in Centralia.
We had a birthday party for my husband. It was great!! The staff is friendly and very helpful!! We reserved two private Lanes, we had my grandchildren there. Very family friendly. Everyone had a great time!! The kids had so much fun, even the two year old bowled!!
First time at this bowling alley, we loved it. There were kids bowling balls available. We are registered in the free kids bowling for summer program and plan to bowl quite often. Service is great , and it was super clean.
Just really dirty, bathroom sinks have gunk around them. Employees seem to care more about cigarette breaks and standing around rather than cleaning. Most arcade games and pool table are either broken, really dirty or both. I didn't eat there but would not trust the food at all. Just really gross. Save your money.
Went there for Monte Carlo night. Such a wonderful time! The staff is friendly and informative. Even other bowlers were great to talk to and high fives galore lol.
Guaranteed to have a fun time here. Staff are all amazing. Nice people no matter what day you go. Make sure to go to Rock N Bowl from 10PM to 1AM Friday or Saturday. Just in my experience the younger crowds usually go on Friday so I enjoy Saturday nights a little more.
Great bar staff. They are friendly, although only one will blend a drink. She is very nice and willing to take a chance to satisfy what a customer thirst maybe.
We are not serious bowlers. We were here as a large family group the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was fantastic, we had a great time bowling AND eating snacks. Thanks for being so great to us. The mini tacos were a big hit!
Always a favorite for our family outings! Staff is wonderful!
If you need a ball or to get a ball drilled. Or pretty much anything related to bowling.. go see Justin in the Pro Shop. He is awesome at drilling your ball and will come over to the lanes and make sure it fits you and your style. We have bought 7 balls there in the last couple of months since we got started back into bowling. I can't tell you how helpful he has been for myself and my family members. I can't say I write many reviews. But I have to say... Justin is worth the review. I thank you Justin for al
The staff is friendly. The center is clean and well maintained. And the food is very good and very reasonably priced.
Went to Monte Carlo and had the best time. We will definitely be going back.
Lanes were nice and the staff was friendly. I was a little put off on them charging $44 for two children and two adults to bowl 2 games, then an additional $45 for 2 burgers, a salad, fries and fountain drink. $90 for a tiny bit of fun and they still randomly want you to tip them. In today's economy, I'm not sure if that's good or bad but I'm not willing to do it twice
Went there for a 3rd grade field trip was a lot of fun!
Love the remodeling that has been to this place. Bathrooms don't stink anymore , machine are running better , very nice staff, great bartenders! Love that they more options in the bar! Love the decor for the next holiday coming up!
Been coming here my entire life, such a fun place!
Fun place to go, very clean, and nice atmosphere. All the staff are nice. And they have a cute little bar inside with great tasting drinks and good prices.
Went here on a Saturday night for Monte Carlo bowling.. We had such a blast! We were paired with a great group of people that loved to high five when anyone made a decent shot, and celebrated the numerous money shots that happen when the coloured pins show up.. From 50? to $50, the energy is high & fun. I'm not a bowler, but my sister and l just jumped right in to have a great time. Drinks and food were flowing, so be careful as you consume! Reservations are recommended, as this place fills up fast. I'm be
A great bowling center. The perfect mix of a grown-up vibe that is also still clean and family-friendly. I'll miss it here when I move, but I'll always want to come back if I'm back in town again. Friendly service as well. I got my wife's and my new balls drilled here and the gentleman did a good job. All thumbs up.
We hadn't been there since before the remodel. We were thinking of booking a birthday party and wanted to see what all they had to offer job. Spoke with the main desk, checked out the bathrooms, etc. Love the new decor, the updates and the options. We had a drink in their bar, hreat customer service, excellent drinks! We may start hanging at the bowling alley!!
The food was amazing!! Nachos and cheese curds were insane and the drinks from the bar and bartender were great. I recommend getting a reservation but it's worth it and lots of fun.
Took Grandkids bowling for Valentine's Day! New operators are doing a great job! Get out and Roll. #tigerforlife
Dirty restrooms, decent food but had a 30-45 min wait for French fries during a not very busy time. Lane kept not returning the ball and was over all in poor condition. Stood at the counter for upwards of 15 minutes, as a giant line was forming behind me, before an employee acknowledged any of us. During the wait time there were no employees in sight. I was hopeful based on reviews but all the employees I encountered were rude and inattentive. Very disappointed.
The birthday party room with private lanes was awesome for our friends birthday yesterday. The long haired man at the counter could have been friendlier. He was visibly irritated with the kids asking for bumpers between his sit down visit with other patrons.
We held our annual staff appreciation here. It was a fantastic expierence and fun was had by all. We are definitely glad to have a great place in Lewis County to have fun for all ages.
Had fun with friendly and nice customer service. My son and I played 3 games for $35. Didn't eat but food smelt great.
I have bowled the last 4 year. It was nice. Now it is excellent. Bathroom clean and updated. The lanes are repaired. New seating for teams. Staff are very nice and ready to answer any questions. Great Foodservice. Nice place to bowl and have fun.
We had a great time there! The food was good and the lanes were very nice. We will go there again.
We always enjoy going into this alley. The lanes are well kept, the place is neat and clean. The staff and owners are easy to work with when anything comes up. There is a reason why we have been bowling here weekly for a long time.
Love the new owners! Great atmosphere, food, & staff. Food arrives 10x faster than before. They're great with accommodation for allergies and restrictions.
It is good to get out of the house. I had a good time hanging out with my wife and coworkers and their wives. And we all had fun bowling. Fairway has good food, cold beer, and good times. I recommend it
Thinking back on things we are grateful for and Fairway Lanes is definitely at the top of our list. Our son Jeremy has been a Special Recreation Bowler for over 30 years and has bowled with Special Olympics too. His dream has always been to bowl on a regular league and this past year he has been able to do that. Thanks to the owners, Jeff & Julie, and staff at Fairway as well as acceptance from other league bowlers this has been a dream come true for him. My husband and two of our grandkids have also learne
A great family place to enjoy bowling and some awesome food as well. A very friendly atmosphere.
Not a Covid friendly place. Be wary of anyone looking for a clean fun place? No one wears mask and no one cares. I approached one bartender who I asked about the mask mandate and mind you she was wearing a mask on her neck not face said, ?We don't have to wear a mask we own the place.? Then they proceed to laugh and joke about me being a Karen. Just a heads up bad environment in the bar and not a place I would visit again after the arrogance of the staff and blatant disrespect of a nations crisis.
Very affordable place to have fun with the family.. we got a cheese pizza while we were there it was so good. Very clean customer service was awesome thank you
A fun family atmosphere. Good food and an arcade as well.
Trash establishment. I'm sorry but this place is a dump! I'm not sure if they know that we are in a pandemic but it would be nice to know you were safe here. I would never bring my kids here again, this place is one that is not safe and very dirty.
FIRST BE AWARE THIS STORE DOES NOT REQUIRE MASKS AND HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR VIOLATIONS OF COVID MASK MADATE! STORE WILL NOT REQUIRE YOU TO WEAR A MASK! The new bar here looked amazing! However the staff in it where terrible, I actually had a large girl hitting on my husband from the bar! I found out later that was one of the daughters of the owners!!! Maybe they should shore up the works as well as they did the bar! I understand hiring family but not at the cost of doing good business. Other than that the bo
Great staff and always friendly. Lanes are kept up as well as house balls are in good order.
Food was very good, place looks very nice. Great experience overall ??
Great house. Great people. Good food. Clean, was remodeled and just had one year anniversary. It's a great place to bowl.
I love the party room! It's so nice to have a couple lanes for parties! The bar is amazing and staff are on point!
A great bowling center. Good atmosphere. Good location. I recently had a new ball drilled there and it was honestly the best drilling I have had yet and I've had about 5 balls drilled at various locations. Friendly service. Lots of fun.
So much fun! My grandkids and I had a blast today. Clean and inviting. Great atmosphere, great people
Amazing service, treat customers like valued guests.
Lots of fun. We enjoy going here every so often & always have a good time.
Was a little difficult for me to find, but I'm not familiar with the area at all. Had a very good party with my coworkers!
My special needs son bowls every Wednesday with his group. They have a great time. Hot dogs are great!!
Wonderful service great people and a fun environment.
Super fun! Great atmosphere. Great workers. Snack bar for the youngins and a bar for the folks of legal age. Great place to spend an evening. Highly recommended.
Come with Family and friends and my kids. The employees where supper nice and helpful. Had a Great time!! And the place looks Beautiful!!! ?????????
Really fun and very helpful staff.
Had a great time bowling here with my coworkers. Awesome music choices, lazer lights, disco balls, all the best scenery for a good bowling experience. The staff were friendly aswell! Definitely recommend coming here.
Always a great place to bowl. Love the selection of balls and always so friendly
5 stars early in 11 am courtesy great, bring children under 5 early, shoe sizes ,get 3 bigger, lanes 1&2 kids can run around the slope. Wednesday day great! Pizza to order ,simple start, cease then .80 cents, pepperoni, sausage, pineapple, and the last,Canadian bacon. The man has a sense of humor. (Did not get hisl name. ) I recommend fairway lanes:)
Learning bowling here, staff are very courteous and helpful. I love this place, that's why I keep going back. Great music too. Clean washrooms. Keep it up.
The new owners are doing it right! The lanes are taken care of and they have something for everyone. So glad we have a quality bowling alley in our area again.
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.”
