Customer Reviews

Cars in front but no sign saying open but I'm sure they don't need advertisement people from the town keeps them busy. Great food & people

The Sportsmen Lanes Bowling Alley provides an enjoyable bowling experience, with well-maintained lanes, friendly service, and a lively atmosphere. The real cherry on top is their pizza dinner, wherein the delightful flavors truly linger in your mouth. It might not be gourmet, but it surely hits the spot after a fun bowling match. A fantastic place to hang out for a casual and entertaining evening. Could do with a bit of sprucing up, but overall a good time guaranteed.

It was a scheduled stop for all the kids, staff, parent chaperones from Rockyford school. We had just returned from Special Olympics. The school ordered pizza for everyone. It was busy when we arrived and had to wait. Some other groups were already there. Overall it was a good stop. The pizza was great!!

It's a local joint. It's dated but clean, the lanes work, and there's a little casino. Food could be better, but it's not nasty.

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.”
