Idle Hours South

Nice atmosphere, food was decent and the drinks were a reasonable price. Great place to go with the family. My kids loved it

Had my sons Birthday party there!He had a laser tag party! Clean, friendly, fun place for a party. The party went so smoothly and the kids had a blast.It was a great time! Hannah our party host was awesome!

Great time

Always a good time, staff is always great and the lanes are always in great shape. Place is clean and well maintained. Highly recommended.

We have a league on Friday night. Unlike other nights when the house is full the lanes are not oiled or cared for. I know its only 8 lanes but as paying customers we should get the same consideration.

Poor Richards Pub is a great little place to watch sports, and great food, especially their wings!!

Always a great place to come for the no tap tournament, good food and great staff.

This place is great and very deserving of a 5 star rating, however one continued experience will make this a 4 star rating.I will detail that experience first now!Here they have a great assortment of food and drink with a small restaurant that serves a nice variety of food, the food is of great quality however I cant say the same for the staff.I came in on a busy night with friends and family and was treated rudely by the staff member. I was courteous as I know customers can be less than pleasant so I always strive to treat people as best I can if they are working in a service capacity. This woman both ignored my order and proceeded to ignore me. I just wanted to order some wings and a drink but was ignored the whole time while friends were served quickly yet coldly. However the case the lanes are kept clean and the rest of the staff is very nice and helpful. I would definitely recommend anyone visit here and experience everything. I personally have yet to enter their small laser tag arena but word is its decently fun for being on the smaller end.Thats all!

This place is awesome. Very friendly employees and great customer service. Clean, kid friendly environment. We bowled, played laser tag, and enjoyed the game room.The laser tag was a lot of fun! Highly recommend!!

Not bad. Try it when ever you are upto some strikes. There is a good bar here too.

Great place ! fun atmosphere for bowling, great for family, friends, get togeathers.Theres also a bar located when you walk in, to the right. Great place to chill kick back a few brews before your bowling session.

Surprised there’s no a special during the week for after hours bowling. Left here at 11:00PM and EVERY LANE IS EMPTY. Understand there’s a special a couple days a week but why not every night after 9:00PM. ?? Very nice bowling alley. Sure it would fill up if cheaper after night specials.

Very friendly and nice and clean place

Surprisingly fun. The place is good for bowling fun.

This arcade is so neat! Im glad places are updating their arcade to really compete with other places. Love the bowling always a great time.

If the food was better in the lanes i would give it 5 stars. For decent bar food you have to order from the bar not the bowling alley. Staff seems pretty cool and i only bowl there on league so i can see Kevin OConner every week. Hes the handsome one in the green bowling shirt every Tuesday.

Was here for a company Christmas party. Friendly and helpful staff. Large variety of things to do. Clean. Family Friendly.

Luv it we had a great family time

I havent been to South Side Bowl in about a decade. Love the renovations! Will definitely be coming back!

Great lanes. And an even better staff, comfortable environment and after over a year of bowling every Saturday night, I have still never experienced a problem with rowdiness. Well managed and an over all very enjoyable time.

My 4 year old loves to bowl and this is a great place. Clean, friendly atmosphere and service!

Really fun! Too bad they took out the pool tables really wished they were still there. But the arcade and laser tag looks great.

Nice. Fun. Kids like it!

Great place to have a birthday party! Such decent prices. Our party hostess was so helpful and made the party run by so smoothly. Would absolutely have the kids party here again.

The Best Bowling Bday Party for my Daughter and Her Friends. Thanks for the excellent Service

A lot of fun, laser tag, game room, bowling, and great prizes!

Excellent Texas Cheeseburger & French fries..

Great new renovations fun for the whole family. Cosmic bowling, arcade and even laser tag a bar with karaoke night and the food is decent. I love it there!

Great scenery, my kids really enjoyed the arcade and laser tag.

Modern, clean and great lanes

Laser tag and arcade were great for this 6 year old birthday party.

Nice family fun time

Fun place to play pool. Southside is clean with plenty of lanes. They have leagues. Kid-friendly with birthday parties available.

Good place

The inside is very nicely done. Its clean and the arcade looks brand new. They sell socks for bowling which is a great convenience.

The staff is welcoming. The place is clean. Wish I lived closer to the place.

Took my family out to bowl for my sons 6th birthday, they were very accommodating to the little ones (ages 4,6, and 10) the place has definitely been updated and was very clean and had top of the line equipment. The new arcade was awesome the kids loved it, however as arcades typically are it was expensive the bowling however was very cheap, 3.75 a game for kids and free shoe rental and 4.25 a game for adults with 3.00 shoe rental it was about 26 bucks for my family of 5 to bowl one game. Which is definitely worth it they had a great time. I would have given the place 5 stars except for the food, I was so looking forward to eating there because I used to love there food when it was south side bowl, havent had it since the name change well it was actually a big disaster we ordered 2 plain fries 1 volcano fry(cheese and wing sauce) and a tray of square red pizza and a pitcher of soda I have hardly any complaints on the fried food except for the wing sauce texture was a little weird it was thick like ketchup and a bright red color as well however it did not taste like ketchup so whatever, the problem was the pizza orginally we only ordered the pizza but then had to go back and order fries as my kids were starving and pizza wasnt edible, its not that the taste was bad, it was how it was made it was like an entire bowl of sauce had been used you couldnt even pick the pizza up without a giant sloppy mess my children couldnt eat it and bowl so we then tried forks and knifes and still couldnt eat it, I never saw anything like it the pizza was just falling apart and dripping everything everywhere sauce and cheese included it was like it was made of paper it just fell apart and dropped everywhere. It was a huge mess!!! And yes we did wait for it to cool, that wasnt the problem. But beside that everything else was good and we had a great time bowling.

The snack bar is great- amazing burgers!

Great place to get out with the family.

New arcade looks great, real suprise was the food is very good. Great burgers

Really fun, clean, nice, updated bowling alley and game room.

Bowling Ball Hitlers- Asked for 6lb ball for my 10 year old daughter (shes tiny) and was told she could have an 8lb ball, then he said How about a 7? I said Ill just take my money Really too specific of ball weight requirements for me, COMPLETELY TOOK THE FUN OUT OF A FUN TIME.

First time there in years. It was ok but so expensive & they need to get rid of the game that shoots out water, the smell is so unbearable.

Its fun family place to go.

They have improve greatly with the additional fun zone center, but open bowling isnt available everyday from 6-9 pm due to their running leagues, except for Fri & Sat. My little boy hit the jackpot at the wheel of fortune. Last spin for 300 tix payout. He redeemed it for a small soccer ball. He was so happy, even tho he didnt get to bowl. Next time maybe!

I love the place and etc but I dont like how u have to pay for the time instead of the way most places are per game thats my only not so good thing I have to say other than that I love it there really nice staff pretty cool arcade good food very clean and open 24 hrs so pretty awesome place to go

Newly renovated game area, could use larger selection that appeals to different ages

Such a amazing place to be with family to be honest..!!

IBEW Local 81 Toby Joyce tournament fund raiser .

It was a fun experience for the adults and children alike. I will say that some of us were not able to bowl being that we could not get two side by side lanes. Granted it was Saturday around 6 PM we waited 1/1/2 hrs and still were only able to get one lane. Another potential problem depending on the size and age of your group is the fact that there were not enough bowling balls for children or anyone needing a ball 6 pounds and under. The bar however was awesome. It was stocked with premium as well as the cheaper stuff and the wait was less than 5 minutes.

A nice and advanced bowling alley.We had a great time there!!!

Great place to go have fun

Love that they have womens bowling teams called wine and bowl.... Good times!!!

Awesome place to go and hang out and have a good time. Lots of memorabilia to see. Everything was clean and the setup with the lights and lanes with TVs and monitors which was working properly. Everything worked as it should . The staff was very knowledgeable about questions we had and with us visiting somewhere we have never been had alot of good advice on what to do and the nice places like the pub. Hope to eventually come back to this establishment with the rest of my family and friends

Once they installed the new system and started charging based on time I stopped going. What used to cost $30 on a night out with the guys now costs $60. Not wort it. The update and addition of laser tag is cool tho.

Nice place to take your family heard there putting lazer tag in where the pool tables used to be.The guy who works 3rd shift was sleeping when I went the last time an one lady had to wake him up to fix my lane i dont know how you could sleep on your job an get away with it but I wouldnt keep him you have a house you should be sleeping at not work hopefully they do something with him cause its not fair to the other people who work there

This place was a lot of fun. Fairly low prices, and big screen in lanes to watch football while bowling. No pool tables :/ Also, the seating is a little tight. Our lane was next to an obnoxious family and they kept interfering with our game. I know the alley cant control those kinds of things, but they could have been helped by providing more space..

Its a great place to have your childs birthday, and their Pizza is delicious.

Nice atmosphere and very cheap prices

Visited Saturday night. Great place to go to with family and friends or even to play a game by yourself. Very clean atmosphere. Some staff seemed nicer than others the woman that helped me seemed the kindest. I believe her name was Donna. The men working that night seemed rude. Hope to visit again sometime.

Friendly staff, A lot of lanes to bowl, and a really fun arcade. It is a great place for family fun.

A nice Woolworth style lunch counter with fast, attentive service and very reasonable prices. My new regular lunch spot.

Loved it, lots of fun, great lanes!

Great place but definitely bring a bigger group for better deals for bowling

Upgrades coming... laser tag at the expense of pool tables. Lanes well maintained, new bowling shoes, plenty of bowling balls, large seating area, graphics on TVs make scoring fun.

This place was awesome. Great pricing. Very clean.

Snack bar has AWESOME food, at way reasonable pricing! Def recommend.

My girl and I drove from waverly at 5am to scranton just to check this place out.. walked in at 6:45 am.. bowling was a blast.. I bowled a 131 a 153 and a 198.. easy to set names up but the cool part is they will email ur score sheet to you.. the couple of ppl who were there working were super friendly.. specially at 7am.. they even fired up ALL THE GAMES for us.. all of them... just for the 2 of us.. and they did it way earlier than they normally would.. it was greatly appreciated.. most fun we have had it quite sum time.. thank you... Cant wait to go bak...

Laser Tag Was 2 Levels of Soooo Much Fun!!!!

Awesome place great bowling alley great game and laser tag great Customer service

They have updated the arcade and it is awesome! Worth every penny and the whole family had a great time!

Good place. Food is acceptable when drunk and hungry but, its shite otherwise. Lanes are well maintained, staff is very friendly, most patrons are friendly as well. Overall, a good place, would recommend.

Workers are polite and nice more stuff to do than just bowl also has Lazer tag and a arcade and pretty good food

Good place for family time, our daughter love it there

Facilities were fine but one employee in particular was very rude. I was with a person with special needs and she was rushing her about whether she needed a ramp, gave attitude about what size ball she should use, etc. Not very nice.

I am attending a tournament here. The space for guests is small. I adjusted to the lanes very quickly and had two great series. Staff was kind and welcoming. The food was good, the coffee was horrible. I will return next year.

Great place to take the kids

Had a great time bowling

Little pricey and no decent restrooms :(

It was excellent i got to bowl 2 games and eat pizza with my cil friends

4 stars for the arcade alone. Adding a star for laser tag. Good times.

Love this place! From the bar to the bowling, to the pool! Its a great place to hang out. The food is decent and inexpensive. Karaoke is fun and the drinks are priced well.

Overpiced pins got stuck but didnt stop time while fixed pay by hour and scorw was screwed up for 1 game

Try the food at the little restaurant inside, you wont be disappointed. Great hand made cheeseburger.

Great bday party

Fun, but very pricey

Fun night, arcade was a blast. Great and friendly service.

Family fun...good spot for birthday party

The newly renovated bowling lanes was very nice, great lighting and the staff were very nice

Had lunch at the little counter, and it was delicious! Pretty interesting menu for a bowling alley! We bowled a full game and had plenty of fun! A little over priced but a good time on an afternoon with nothing else to do.

If I could give no stars I would my son got sick from there food n they made a huge deal about it he is 2 years old its not like he can tell me mama ima get sick or anything. We had to leave since they made a huge deal about it. Embarrassed my family and all. Worst experiance ever. Never going back there again!!

Always the best place for all ages to go bowling and play other games, such as pool, air hockey, video games too. Plus if and when you reach the age of 21 you may be able to go to the bar inside the bowling alley. Poor Richards Pub is the first door on the right as you come in the Main Enterance. Be sure to enjoy yourself and drink responsibly.

Great alley! Hosts the Alley Cat League. Emma is the best! Food is excellent! We like to bowl our brains out on Sunday... free peanuts with your beer!

Great place to bowl.

Great spot. Antiquated but clean and staff was excellent. Plus Poor Richards Pub of course!

This place is awesome and always a fun time to go with friends

A great place for fun! Bowling, new laser tag, food and games, not to mention the famous Poor Richards Pub, which was featured on NBCs show the office is here. Prices are great, too!

Went on a date with my the. Boyfriend had a good time and the beer prices were decent

Best place for food to hang out and bowl great bar .best staff around

Very nice house. Lanes are in good shape. Snack bar has good food also.
