Sabre Lanes

Reviews Summary

The reviews present a mixed consensus. Many praise the friendly staff, clean facilities, and fun atmosphere, especially for family outings and parties. Positive mentions highlight good food, helpful service, and well-maintained lanes. However, a significant portion criticizes the high prices for bowling, food, and shoe rentals, calling them unreasonable. Some note cleanliness issues, malfunctioning equipment, or poor value for money. While loyal customers appreciate the experience, others feel the cost outweighs the benefits, particularly under new management. The divide centers on whether the quality justifies the expense.

Customer Reviews

While family was visiting from Denver, we decided on bowling on a rainy day. Sabre Lanes had just opened and we piled out of the car to the door. A fun place to bring the kids. Everything was clean and a friendly staff. Perfect family place to spend quality time with family or friends. My only concern was the price. A bit more than my budget expected.

Bowling was fun as always. The management was alright, we had a bad run in with her attitude and her glares. We ordered a large pizza, appetizer platter and fries. We waited AN HOUR for our food that we ordered before we even started to bowl. They gave out our food to another customer who didn't even order it. Also, apparently you can't buy pitchers of sodas anymore? This is a HUGE inconvenience! Everywhere you go for blowing or even just to have fun you always are able to buy pitchers of drinks. This place

Nice family place to shoot a few games. I recommend Groupon because the prices are a bit high per game. Nice arcade in case some don't want to bowl. Very empty for a Saturday but it was beautiful outside so I can see why. Could use a little updating where there's missing paint on the front desk and some areas of the place are worn out. They had some fun bowling games on the score table. We made monsters buy how many pins you knock down and shot cannonballs at castles to knock them down. The lanes were a bit

Honestly, I've never even been to this location. But I have met the General Manager at a separate location local to Menasha called Sabre Lanes, hes here to make it better and he's doing an absolutely amazing job, and my god the people skills he's teachingthe employees is AMAZING!!!!!!!! His name is Joey. I had a few issues with a separate staff member not allowing us to fully redeem our benefits from our summer passes. Many of our local residents aren't very enthusiastic about the bowling alley being bought

We had my son's birthday party there. The staff was awesome. They took really good care of all of us. One of the employees working his name was Mike was a very friendly guy and constantly checked up on us. Food was great and the kids had a blast.

Great experience bowling there. People were friendly and approach was well taken care of. Shoes didn't stick and was able to bowl like it was meant to be. Definitely worth it and will be back.

We had our daughters wedding reception in their ballroom the prices were very reasonable and Mike and his staff were excellent to work with 10 out of 10 would recommend

If you feel like bowling in the dark then go there. Are they trying to save a few bucks by not having the lights on, I don't know? I don't think even a pro bowler will do well there. The lighting is too poor. I can't see shit. We don't have Superman vision.

If I could give no stars I would. Waited over AN HOUR to get our food. Went to get several pitchers of drinks and were told not allowed to unless we get a pizza or something with EACH pitcher we wanted. Went to management several times asking where our food was, that we ordered BEFORE we started bowling. Prices are expensive. Will NOT be going back!!!!!

Super friendly staff! We are vendors who rent their space for shows and we have never been let down by the generosity and kindness extended to us! #jagcandp

Bowlero owned, need I say more? We were there for an all day tournament. High prices. Minor issues, but not impressed with staff: Staff would not allow me to have my reusable water bottle, filled a plastic cup for me to dump into my water bottle after insisting I keep my bottle. Didn't put out water pitchers.

So it looks like both saber lanes and Super Bowl got bought out by this Bowlio corporation. $140 for 2 adults and 2 kids for an hour and a half?!?!?! Y'all lost your freaking mind. Saber lanes used to be my favorite spot for good affordable family fun but screw that.

I love this place! Not only do they have great snacking food, but the customer service is phenomenal. My favs as far as food goes is the pretzel bites, pizza, seasoned truffle fries, and wings. I got to meet the general manager, I think his name is Mike, he is so nice and was actually walking around checking on guest and I even saw him cooking in the kitchen when we were there last time! And I think the other manager?s name starts with an E or an I, she is great also. All the people that I've encountered at

Bowling was a lot of fun. Lanes are very well kept and the scoring system is very nice. Bathrooms definitely need a thorough cleaning. Overall the experience was positive and will definitely go back.

Shoutout to Mike and Mathew! Very friendly and great service! We also won a bowling pin and got them to sign it! Definitely will be coming back here again :)

The upgrades at the alley are awesome and the food is great! The wait times at the bar to order drinks and food is a bit long - but the service is great nonetheless! Seems like it's still going thru a transition period & can't wait to see how it progresses!

My wife and I went here last week, and got to see some of the renovations that took place since the new ownership took over. We played two games each, with shoe rentals and a pizza. The total came out to $71!!! There were only three lanes being used, and this was on a Friday night. The machines were having issues on all lanes, ours would not return a ball consistently. Another Lane had pins come out from the machine onto the lane that had to be retrieved. Several lanes including ours had issues with lane qu

Great service, haven't been here since it's been updated it's very nice. Miss the pinball machines though.

Very disapointed in the quality of this bowling alley. The prices are insane. For 3 bowlers we payed $80 for unlimited bowling just for us to have to switch lanes 2 times and ended up leaving after 1 and a half games because of the lanes being stalled and pausing between turns. When asking for a refund we were told that they did not give them at all. When we asked for the manager we were in fact lied too and received a 50% discount with 3 bowling coupons. To all those with coupons please check the expiratio

This was our first experience at Sabre Lanes. I will start off by saying that the staff members were very polite and helpful. I will give them a 4 star. The building itself is a typical bowling alley, brightly lit but boring overall. Not a big deal. I'll give it a 3 star. Here's where it goes downhill. Half of the games we played weren't functioning properly, so we lost several points on our game cards for nothing. I also wasn't made aware of the prize points that go onto the card and turned my card back in

I had a blast with a few friends. We played 2 games of bowling and lots of games of pool. And we had the pizza (best pizza I ever had) The reason it's not a 5 is because the price is pretty expensive and a little run down from how it use to ne under old ownership. But I still recommend going and bowling while you're there he sure to try their pizza. You won't regret it!

I'm rating this place 3 stars because it is grossly overpriced. The staff are great and deserve 5 stars all day! Especially your bartender, I unfortunately didn't grab her name. I cannot justify going here with these current prices. Lesson learned.

$7.99 a game is criminal. Bowlero ruins bowling alleys. It's all bells and whistles, with their big fancy overpriced arcade. Literally smelt like somebody pooped on the floor as soon as I walked through the door, faintly covered up by an air freshener. Bowlero sucks.

Perfect atmosphere, had my baby shower here and this is our go to place!

Had such a fun night of bowling! The staff were so kind and extremely helpful! What a wonderful experience! I also love the new updates to the building!

We have been coming to Sabre for years. The previous owner was great. Now the prices of bowling, food, and drinks have doubled. Almost $34 for a combo basket and almost $7 for one game of bowling. Also when I buy a beer I now get nickles and pennies for change. The staff is still great. The chef and bartenders are very helpful and friendly but we will be going somewhere more affordable from now on. We came here again out of convenience and found that the food prices have come down. Only $28 for the combo

Nice bar, two pool tables, great atmosphere and friendly staff!

Great place. Kids had fun..

First time back to Sabre Lanes since Corporate Bowlero bought the place, 3 years ago I believe. Price per game and shoe rental has almost doubled. I'll stick with the independently owned places where they do not price gouge.

Where do I even start. First thing we noticed when we walked in was that it smelled like gas. Apparently, they didn't know why but was ?taking care? of it. 1 game for 6kids was $78. Sample platter was alright. Fries were cold and they didn't offer to make us fresh ones when mentioned. They blamed it on the room temperature oil they just put in the fryer. Arcade prizes were very limited and leaned towards girls. One thing we got was 200 tickets and didn't light up/work. Also, don't look up- ceiling tiles ar

Everything was overpriced. $78 for 5 people to bowl 1 game each. The bowling balls were chipped and not a good selection. The food was expensive for a sampler of chicken wings , pretzels, fries , chicken strips were dry , the wings came out with Hot not in temperature [ they never asked, nor did it say that and a chicken Cascadia cost $40 drinks (soda) was another $10. Just not worth it. Employees are awesome, very helpful.

Dropped $60 for three of us to play two games of bowling, which already had me raising my eyebrows. Decided to soften the blow with some food - a pizza and pitcher of soda for $30 felt steep, but the real surprise came when we wanted more soda. Turns out, they don't do refills on pitchers (even for purchase), and they wanted us to pay $4.50 for each cup of soda instead. Really? Finding a bowling ball felt like a scavenger hunt, with us hopping from lane to lane just to find one that suited. And our lane? O

Great bowling experience, has issues with a couple different pieces of our food not tasting the best and a bit on the expensive side. Can find great deals throughout the week for admission ($25 on a wendsday for unlimited games of bowling) and arcade has a lot of fun games but lack variety of prizes. Overall a fun experience with friends tho and the bowling equipment is well kept with no issues.

We started coming here 2 years ago. We would go once a week. Loved it. At some point they were bought out. They fired the amazing people and increased prices. We stopped going and then decided to give it another chance month ago with a large party. The food prices had increased by 3x. Last night we decided to go one more time. They took out the original bowling deals, the cashier indicated due to lack of people coming in...it was 90 dollars just for bowling for our small family to play a couple of games. U

Your bartender is either high or intoxicated!! She's older serving tonight March 23rd 2024. She should not be back there at all! She can't even talk, she is slurring her words and can't even look up to the customers. I waited 15 minutes for some water! Smh

Super fun time. Staff was helpful and the place was clean, couldn't ask for more.

I played 3 games with 2 people total, and only needed shoes for 1 person but the total was near $70. It should?ve costed $5.99 per game per person and $5.99 per shoe. So it should?ve only been around $42, I was overcharged $28.

This location was purchased by Bowlerama. Prices are incredibly high for bowling and food. For 2 people to play 3 games, rent shoes, and have 2 drinks (one soda and one beer was $17), we were dropping close to $100. Service and people were professional.

Sabre Lanes used to be our favorite bowling alley, but since they were bought out, the prices increased and the service/cleanliness have gone downhill. The bartender was slow to even acknowledge us at the bar even though it was not busy. I thought maybe we just missed a rush because of how much food garbage/bottles were left from former patrons. But after being there for an hour (and hardly being helped), I witnessed the condition of the bar decline even worse. Once we got to our lane, it was also dirty (fl

This place is ridiculously priced. I tried finding justification for the insanely high prices, but I couldn't find a singe one. The food is mediocre at best-The pizza had CANNED mushrooms. So fresh ingredients aren't even used. For one bloody mary and 4 sodas, the total came to $27. Just an order of french fries- $11. Bowling for a group of 12 exceeded $300 for 2 hours. And to top it off, the place isn't even clean. We arrived fairly early, the bathrooms were a disaster. Overflowing trash, paper all over th

We had my son's birthday party here and I'm so impressed with the service we received! Jason was helpful and made sure we were set up with what we needed and answered our questions. They had some decorations out at the tables which was a great added touch since I wasn't planning on bringing decorations. My son and his friends had an amazing time and I'm recommending to all my friends to use Sabre Lanes for kids' birthday parties.

We used to love coming to Sabre Lanes and I'm not sure what happened but the prices have skyrocketed. We had to pay $6 to rent my 2 year old a pair of bowling shoes. For 4 people to bowl for 2 games was $60. We tried to order basic beer like Coors Light and Miller and they didn't have it. We ordered fries and waited over 30 minutes for them not to come. I had a water and you can tell the lines aren't cleaned because it tasted like Pepsi. The staff was very friendly and tried to make it right. I understand

Cute bowling alley but the prices are ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. $7.99 PER PERSON, PER GAME, PLUS an extra 7 dollars for shoes. When playing multiple games, you have to pay the fee shoes FOR EVERY GAME. How do you expect someone to pay the same fee for shoes over and over again when you're not even changing shoes? This would have been good to know beforehand. The manager and staff are very nice, but will not be coming back to blow an entire paycheck for ONE hour of bowling for the family.

This place was amazing for my son's birthday. DJ made us feel like family and made the day feel so special. The kids got to take home bowling pins and they absolutely loved the arcade. I can't get over how amazing this day was for him. Thank you to DJ for an unforgettable birthday party!!!

Their pizza now stinks. They used to have the best pizza in the valley. I loved it. Now it's like Dominoes and has no flavor and you pay almost $30 of you include a normal tip. The new management made a poor decision by not making the pizza they way they used to. One more thing, bt taking the cash register away from the pizza counter it prevents the pizza from staying warm because the dopes brought the pizza up to the main register and sat it on the counter. So, the management doesn't care if your pizza ge

The lanes are fantastic and freshly oiled and the food and service at the bar is phenomenal! Taylor was fantastic in helping us get the best bang for our buck as well! Highly recommend for a good night of fun!

So I'm going to date myself a little bit here, but I used to come here for Rock N Bowl with groups of friends and always had a ton of fun! It's still going, just different name. My kids now go instead. Still a great place to bowl and have fun, always clean and the friendly staff top it off. I would highly recommend bowling the glow bowl at least once! There's plenty of things to do besides bowling, and the food is still delicious!

The lanes were okay, definitely good for family and friends to go hang out bowling and pooling. The arcade was decent for a bowling alley, but service was definitely great they made it really easy to approach and ask for help.

I always loved going to Sabre Lanes they're very reasonable with food and drink prices. Recently I went and their menu has changed seems like their prices doubled. The pretzel sticks with cheese dip was definitely the bomb though and we still had a fun time.

Your typical bowling alley, lots of lanes. They have a nice bar and great food. Plenty to do besides bowl, with their arcade pool tables darts.

There were 2 of us playing 2 games and the price came to $46. I will not be coming back to Sabre lanes at these prices.

We had 30 adults in last night (on a massive league night) for a birthday party & the team at Sabre was absolutely incredible! They went above and beyond with a cute table set up, continuously came by to check on us & make sure we had everything we needed, & so much more. The team at Sabre definitely went above & beyond- despite the business they had outside of our party. They made the experience extremely fun & all did it with sincerity + kindness! We will definitely be back!

My son and his friends had a blast for his 10th birthday party. The staff at Sabre was great!!

We used to come to Sabre Lanes for some family fun. The last time we were there, we had some lane issues and we were given some free game tickets to make up for it. Since then, they changed ownership. The prices have skyrocketed and they won't honor any old free game tickets. There are better options in the area so we just walked out rather than pay their outrageous prices.

Wow! A group of 7 of us went bowling today. The tv screen upon entering says 7.99 per game. Then you have the cost of shoes. We bowled 2 games. We were there about an hour and a half. Our bill was over 200.00!! We did not know that the 7.99 was per person, per game. Yikes. We will not be going there again. Then they must have just varnished all of the wood so 2 people in my group ended up having their shirts ruined. No signs about wet varnish anywhere . We did ask a manager to explain the bill to us and she

Prices to bowl are literally twice as much as the next closest alley. Soda cost $4.00, and food was extremely over priced. The game took 30 minutes longer that it should have because the lane broke. I see they are giving themselves 5 star reviews on here with fake accounts, so their rating is inflated. This place will fail.

Super fun family atmosphere. The food was good and the staff friendly. However, we had to wait every frame for balls to return. It turned an hour of family fun time into 4 hours of family not so fun time. Disappointed that the staff could not find a solution for our difficulty. Perhaps closing the lanes we were using and moving us to a lane that actually worked right could be an option for next time.

Pretty much a bummer since they have been bought by this bolorama or whatever it's called now. Sabre use to be our go to spot for bowling, had a very knowledgeable pro shop. But since this new owner took over prices have doubled for no real change besides an expanded ?game? area and sent the pro shop packing. Pretty crazy $9 a game and over $6 to rent shoes that's right RENT the shoes. Not the first time I've been thankful for owning my own. But if you wanna spend over $75 for a night of bowling and a few d

We just had a birthday party here for my 6 year old. I rarely leave reviews but his party was amazing. The staff was so accommodating and went above and beyond to make his party special.

Had my son's birthday party here. Service was great. The staff was helpful and went above and beyond. Great experience, kids loved it, and price wasn't bad at all.

This place was taken over now as bowlers...very disappointed by this new company. I purchased a local Kimberly coupon card the kids were selling and had a coupon for the place that doesn't expire until March of this year they would no longer accept it. Next they didn't have any shoes in my size available as they had a whole side of the counter full of dirty shoes but didn't offer to clean any to get me my shoes size, they also had no balls available to use we had to wait until people left to get balls befor

We bowl here at least 3 times per month. Great place and they have good deals on certain days. There are deals for all days, but I have a big family so certain ones work better for us. Food is hot and fresh to order, free refls in soda and the lanes are in great shape. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Gone are the days of the old rundown bowling alley that had plagued Sabre Lanes. The new owner Dan has turned the place around. I went with my family and was amazed at how it has changed. The feeling is welcoming and every employee I met was not just willing but genuine in being happy to help and answer questions. I went into the shop area and within minutes recieved assistance. The gentleman named Kent, came in and answered all my questions and I decided to buy a ball. I found out the next day that he was

This was my first time there. I really liked it. It was me, my husband, our 3 kids (5 years, 3 years, and 6 months), and then friends of ours (husband, wife, 5 yo son). The prices were better than Super Bowl, which is where we've gone in the past. They were super friendly. The pizza was surprisingly good (I wasn't expecting much for just bowling alley food). We got 1 pepperoni and 1 sausage, and our picky 3 yo at 3 slices of the pepperoni! The lanes were plenty spacious. It was a very comfortable and relaxe

Went here for new years eve with my wife and 4 kids (1, 5, 10, 12 yrs old), and had a great time. They had updated scoreboards and graphics on there screens that made it convenient and fun. Only one issue, there were not enough lighter wieghted balls for the kids.. we had to share with our neighbors. Overall, good atmosphere and good service. (5 people, shoes, and 2 games =$50)

Never went bowling? The shoes were $5.99 a person, with 2 games cost us $46 and foe 2 sodas was $55!! That is ridiculously priced! I could save my money and take a mini vacation to the dells if I add another $120 to that.

Unsurprisingly Sabre Lanes was a better experience before it was bought out by a corporation. We arrived 30 mins before the price drop for "Sunday funday," so we ordered food and drinks at the bar to wait. The quality of the pizza is lower quality than Little Caesar's and I would not recommend ordering it. The chicken tenders and mozzarella sticks were actually good, and if I had to order food there, that is what I would get. The bowling experience was extremely lackluster, we had 4 issues with our pins res

Great place to take the family for a fun night out. They had great deals on everything, and the place is really updated nicely. We will definitely be going back.

Staff is super helpful and amazing. Great food, lots of fun to be had for a good price (plus they have the football games on!) Establishment is always clean and inviting as they change up the decor per season/holiday.

First place, I have ever been to be charged for my drinks before I was served them. Bowling for 6 people, 2 games =$120.00 * 4.99 for a michelob. 22.00 for a meh pizza. Haha thanks but no thanks !girlypop

Nice atmosphere. The place is clean and spacious. The TV score boards are entertaining. The kids love seeing their snapshots dance around. Plenty of open bowling times.

Went out for couples date night. After dinner, we thought we'd hit the lanes. It was about a 30 minute wait. Nestled up to the bar as we waited for an opening. The girls ordered the house margaritas ... don't know how to describe how gross the flavoring was. We were pinged to the counter. Gave our shoe sizes, but the sizes we asked for were not available. So wore larger sizes. The bowling ball selection was very limited: very heavy, odd spaced finger holes, small finger holes. The 4 of us did manage to bowl

We had our son's 7th birthday party at Sabre Lanes. I think the kids had a great time, the food is good, and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The only thing I question is plating the kids food for them. I can see where that could be helpful at times, but usually I think it would be easier to just order a # of pizzas, and in our case chicken strips & fries and let the kids take what they want. The plated portions were quite large for young children which led to a lot of waste. But we wer

Had an amazing time with my company outing here!! Staff was super friendly and went out of their way to make our night great! Highly recommended for any bowling fans or large party events.

Shots are 6.56 each over priced. Beers are over priced. Food was ok I guess. It is very run down. For what they charge you would expect nicer accommodations

This is my favorite bowling alley in the fox valley. The facility was clean, the staff were super polite, and the food is great here! Modern tech with fun bowling themes for your lane. A small arcadefor the kids and a full service bar for the adults. Moderately priced for the value, definitely coming back!

D.j. the Assistant Manager really deserves 20 out of 5 stars. While we there for my Grandson's birthday party, D.J. gave my Grandson, and Granddaughter their own actual bowling pin. When D .J. found out it was his birthday, there was an announcement made for a special V.I.P. in the house. This little V.I.P/birthday boy was seated facing everyone in the bowling alley was asked his name, and how old he was. The entire bowling alley sang Happy Birthday to him. Then after we were done bowling , D.J. gave the Gr

Bring back actual (weekday) specials and I'll come back. When Bolwero bought out this business, it came with jacked up prices.

This is a great bowling alley. Lots of parking, they have an awesome family deal (we have a larger family) on weeknights and weekends (2 hours of bowling, shoes and for up to 6 bowlers, with pizza and a pitcher of soda). The staff is very helpful and friendly. There are a few nice bowling alleys in the area, this is certainly one if the best. They have great daily specials as well. The snack bar has good quality with fast service. We really had a great time.

Should be 0 stars. The "new" Sabre is wayyyyy over priced, same place 5x the price, and poorly managed. Food is dry and drinks are mediocre for the prices they charge. The wait was 30-60 minutes and ended up waiting over an hour and a half for a lane and then the lane wouldn't work at first, then took 15 minutes to fix it. Won't be back.

Went bowling with my friend had a blast. Staff was nice and making jokes. Look like they live their jobs. I enjoy coming and bowling here at least once a week. My favorite place to bowl!

We had our work party here and it was the best experience and so much fun!!! The staff and manager are great, friendly and helpful!!! If you want to bowl and have fun, this is the place to be!!!

This is probably the best bowling area in the area, even if it could be better. There are many lanes so the place isn't too crowded, and there's also a food counter, a bar, and a mini arcade. The "Rock n' Bowl" (cosmic bowling) was fun, although the music choices could have been better as they mostly played hip hop music with some clean versions and some very not clean versions of songs. And for the most part it seemed clean, although there was a spot where I could smell spilled beer. But overall, fun trip,

Food was great and it's a lot of fun. The guy at the counter was fun to talk to as well? it's been such a long time since I've been there, but I'm glad I went again.

I have always had a great time bowling here. The updated electronic scoring system and flat panel screens were a nice addition since I was last here. No problems renting shoes or finding the right ball to use. Also, no issues or problems with pin resets or balls not returning during the two games my two daughters and I played.

Good family time. However prices per game on menus at tables show 70 cents per game less than what they are charging. When bringing to their attention. Only comment was - prices went up a few weeks ago, and accurate price posted on wall behind register. This was a a $8.40 differance in my case, and believe at least an apology would have been in order.

Friendly staff, good food, and drinks.

Had one of our company parties there. Service overall was good. Prices were fair. We had a really large group 50+ people and everything ran really smooth and everyone had fun. Thanks Sabre Lanes!!

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?
