One of the best spots in town. The bar connected is pretty lit most weekends. So you can bowl it up with some friends and then jump over and karaoke or live band depending on if its Friday or Saturday.

Celebrating a family members birthday. It was a great atmosphere. Clean and well kept. Customer service was decent. We didnt require much anyway. The bday girl came in 1st place and I came in second. Prices were affordable. Mask required upon arrival. After seated and setup you are able to remove mask. Hopefully this review was helpful.

Awesome place! My family and I really enjoyed this bowling alley. The staff was efficient, friendly and food was delicious. We reccomend the pizza and wings! There is an arcade, pool tables and a bar for adult beverages. They had a great family package at a reasonable price. It was a wonderful way to spend time with the family.

Sometimes the lanes shut down. Sometimes they run out of bud light. They always have what you are looking for though. That being a good time.

Inside looked nice but was not a big fan of the lanes. Never had my ball bounce on any other alley. Plus i didnt like the you have to spend 10+ dollars just to use a card.

Well you see here- Cody who was working at the front desk when I strolled in at about 9:30 was incredibly disrespectful to me. I asked if he was okay because I was sincerely concerned; he basically told me to F-off.The food was great tho.Xoxo,The gal he called stuck-up (Mattie)

Still confused as to why their pizza is so good! Never would guess it. People are super friendly as well and place is clean. AND YOU HAVE TO GET THE PIZZA!

The staff were slow to help and they only have two ball asissts available which were both in use. My food came before my drinks I had to go up and ask where my drinks were. Then it took a while still for the drinks to come and Im talking about non alcoholic drinks. The nachos were good though. And my kids still had fun. They need more lighter weight balls.

We were there for a party. There were lots of broken arcade games. And the kids bowling props were falling apart. And the shoes nearly had holes. It was still fun and very clean. Just needs a little fix up a few places

Lady at the counter was great but then came this older guy who walked behind counter from bowling and started yelling/disrespecting the lady helping us at the register right in front of everyone, didnt seem to have a valid reason to be that unprofessional or treat the employee the way he did. Seemed intoxicated but not sure if he was or not. Find out he supposedly the owner. WOW. Partially ruined the whole experience my kids were freaked out by his yelling. Glad it was the end of our night and we were checking out. Shoes were extremely old and falling apart. Other then him we had a good time for a friday.

1st time visiting. Took 18 kiddos from my church ministry there this evening.The Good- Id say we were treated like regulars (It is a gdd thing).The staffs were nice & attentive. Really good consumer service.The bad- $7.50 for a pitcher of lemonade that was about 80% Ice ? That is very dishonest & greedy behavior. Top that with The bathroom is disgusting.

Review №35

While feeling slightly outdated, the bowling alley was clean and the staff were friendly. The selection of bowling balls in terms of sizes and weights was limited compared to my experience with other bowling alleys. In view of all this, I did feel the prices were slightly on the higher side, but not unreasonable. The one aspect I did not like was the requirement to scan my drivers license. In the age of data privacy concerns, this seems unnecessary and less than desirable.

Rough. Is the best description I have for this establishment. My clients described the bathroom as “a dump”. I dislike rating places so poorly; however, when I’m not the only one in my group to point things out it’s hard not to.

There is a young lady that works for this bowling place, I believe her name is Hannah. She was very sweet to me and my friends. She made the whole experience very welcoming! Thank you for helping me with our food and our shoes! She was the only employee that made our experience so great to the fact we will come here every time we want to bowl!

Place was decent for the most part, but still very crowded. Wish they had another set of lanes on the other side that other alleys in Indy have. It would help with the overflow of bowlers and people they have come in.

Good deals for parties of 4 interested in Bowling and food. Tuesdays are 2 bucks. Pretty good pizza, rest of the food is mediocre. Over priced drinks. 90% of their balls suck; most are chipped & they only have 3 weights for their balls. Their ramps for little ones are falling apart held together with tape. Staff is usually only 1 or 2 people so they are hard to hunt down because they have a ton to do. But they are always friendly!

This place has all of the up to date tech equipment, that Im assuming makes it all easier for the bowlers. Im 57 and when I first walked in to the bowling alley after not being in one, well, lets just say I thought I was looking at the equipment and the great designing of the furniture, I thought I had walked into a star wars space ships bowling alley. Please go at least once u wont regret it.

Lane had multiple issues through the 2 hours we were there. Their maintenance guy was no where to be found. Another employee stepped to help resolve the issues - the front counter lady and bartender were awesome at resolving the lane issues.

Nice place to bowl but the shoes are really old and the screens sometimes miscalculates the amount of pins that fall

The bowling aspect was okay. Had trouble finding a ball to fit my fingers. Shoes were a little too worn. Only one person working when we got there. I dont know about the entire menu, but the bread sticks were terrible. Id be careful about what you order.

If I could give it zero stars I would! We had coupons for 4 free games and we had 6 people. So we only had to pay for 2 games and a large pizza and 5 drinks and it was still $60! Ridiculous! Because even though you have coupons for free games, you still have to pay for the shoes which the worker didnt tell us when we presented the coupons when we first got there. All she said was okay, you pay afterwards so just bring the coupons back up when you pay. Thats all she said, no mention that we will stay have to pay $20 to wear the shoes. Also, The pizza took an hour to arrive to our table and it was not busy, it was 3 pm on a Saturday. When we found out we were still paying $60 for 2 people playing one game of bowling and a pizza, we asked the worker why we were not informed that we were going to have to pay for shoes beforehand, she rolled her eyes and ignored us. I can guarantee that is why this place makes you pay AFTER you bowl, so they can throw charges at you that you were not expecting. This place is a mess! The worker was also extremely disorganized when we arrived, she was running all over the place not getting anything accomplished.

Had a great time at the bowling alley tonight with my brother. Its nice for adults because theres a bar attached to the bowling alley that has a greater variety of Tap beverages and on most weekends they have live music which may or may not have a cover charge for. The young ladies that were at the front desk tonight or a blast. They made our experience fun and it was a nice change of pace to the other bigger, larger, corporate run type bowling alleys. Erica and Hannah will treat you right.

Review №81

Staff were very friendly, but at this current time they are severely understaffed, and we came on a Saturday and the place was packed. We had a couple technical issues with the rack system (not unusual for bowling alleys, usually not a big deal)but the lines were so long at the front desks that it would have taken forever to maybe get help. Drinks prices are awful, $3 for a small drink, $4 for a medium, I would sneak in your own drinks.I would may have given another star if they were staffed fully for such a busy time.

Kids had fun. Understaffed. Nobody was around for my kids to redeem their prizes from tickets won in arcade. Waited for over 20 minutes after we alerted staff twice. Will be back to bowl. Suggestion to bring your own bowling shoes. The ones provided were really, really worn...even for bowling shoes.

I was so excited to go here for a girls night, and while we can turn any situation into a fun experience, this place was just weird. We were there on a Saturday night and there were only two other groups bowling. Also, they played basically nothing but death metal constantly?? I dont mind metal or rap or country, but have a variety! lolJust a very weird environment here.

Review №88

We are new to the area and were given a free game of bowling by them. When we showed the coupon, they didnt seem happy about it. The lane we were assigned was broken and spent more time waiting for lane service than bowling. Finally we were moved to a new lane :). We decided to have fun in the arcade after and the ticket amount the games displayed didnt match the tickets given, not a huge deal I just wanted to point that out. Overall we didnt feel welcome, but we bowled for free so we arent upset.

Review №90

My friends and i went bowling together, we got two lanes and played one game on each lane after we were done we returned our shoes and our total was $99.25! this is way overpriced to be in a nasty environment including food and trash on our table, trash on the floor. no workers around to help and just overall a horrible experience. i have been to brownsburg bowl before and i could have never think to pay that much to bowl

Wish I would have read the reviews prior to our visit.Pricing is outrageous for a bowling alley that hasnt seen updates in at least 30 years. Holiday price was $4.45 a game with no option to bowl by the hour. Food was very poor and again, over priced.Seating is abysmal. On several lanes, I saw groups of seven people with only one table and four chairs. Everything is packed so tight that youll constantly be bumping into the folks around you.Several lane breakdowns across several lanes during our visit. The mechanic was relatively quick, but there is only so much you can do when the equipment is that old.Finally, the service. The young woman working the counter could not have made it clearer that she wasnt happy to be there. When I questioned the ludicrous pricing, I was met with open annoyance, and even hostility towards the end.As someone who has worked in several bowling alleys over the years, I implore anyone reading this to look for your fun elsewhere. This place is not worth your time or money.
