I would NOT recommend this place as the lady at the counter was extremely rude to us in general, but especially regarding masks.We ended up leaving, as I didnt wish to give them my business, and went to PEACH BOWLING LANES which was a WONDERFUL experience! :)

Affordable bowling is just a couple miles from downtown Greenville. This is a family friendly atmosphere with many opportunities on certain days for specials, like $1 bowling. I paid seven dollars for one game and shoes. Regular games are $3 per person. The shoes I got were falling apart, but most of the rental shoes looked new. The alley has a lounge and a snack bar.

My husband and I were denied entry. We walked in and were asked right when we got to the counter if we had masks. I told the employee we had an exemption as covered by the state mandate, and she literally said, We dont do that here and that a mask was required to play. Her mask was below her nose and several other parties already bowling were not wearing masks. This is beyond the rudeness of the employee, the business could be sued for discrimination. A very unpleasant experience, we will not be taking our business here anymore.

Wade Hampton Bowl is an old school bowling alley with a 80s vibe. You can grab beer, liquor or a microwave pizza there, so maybe eat before you go? The close at 11:30 PM as of today but stop serving alcohol by 10:30 (local ordinance maybe?). No one wore a mask (not even the bartender). Avoid the bar called WHISKEYS in front. If you are any sort of Minority you are not welcome in the establishment (WHISKEYS).

Family oriented, classic bowling. So much fun. The lanes are very oily so be prepared.

I went with my boyfriend and his family this past Sunday. We had fun! We really enjoy it but, the lady working there was no fun she looked like if she really didn’t want to be working there like if she hates it. She was doing multiple tasks she was ready to leave! Bad customer service but other then that it was great! The prices are cheap! Great deal!

Terrible experience and a ruined night with friends. Very rude employees. I recommend Peach Bowling Lanes 15 mins down the road - They are awesome.

Went yesterday afternoon and we had a great time. Along with social distancing they have hand sanitizers everywhere and they clean each bowling ball before handing it out. Really enjoyed it.

On Saturday night starting at 9pm until close they do offer unlimited bowling for around $15. They do have a full bar, but they tend to run out of basic drinks like long island ice teas pretty quickly. They have 36 lanes and on a busy night you might be waiting for a lane to open. There is a small arcade that does have a pool table and also an air hockey table. They do have daily bowling specials, great place for families.

Their prices are great, the place is clean and well maintained. They have a nice bar area and pretty good food. What really makes this place pop for me is the staff. These people are amazing.

Great bowling alley and George in the Pro Show is the best. He really took time and patience drilling my bowling ball and making sure I had the right size ball and the holes were drilled right for my fingers. Thanks George.

I thought I was a better bowler than my score shows. I know Im better than Jenna. :)Bowling was fun. There were enough balls for our group to use. Bowling lanes and the automatic scoring were pretty nice. It was a Friday afternoon, so we were able to easily get two lanes.

Review №36

Nice place but my work was having a nice night out and most are of age and were of age to be drinking but a lady approached us twice and smelled all of our drinks. At the beginning a woman made an announcement about not drinking underage and staring at us. None of the underage people were drinking alcohol. I understand that it is her job but maybe there was a better way to go about it and constant announcements about alcohol were on the intercom. Again, I understand its her job but I found it a bit rude in the way it was handled especially since the underage were not drinking alcohol.

Attended a get together for my grand daughters birthday. She had already had her birthday party at an earlier time, but on her real birthday, she wanted to go bowling. She had a great time and actually made her first spare ever! What an achievement! She was so excited and had such fun! We all had a great time and were so excited for her!

Went to Spare Time for an hour fame. With food it was $4,745 plus tip.So we went to this place. Bowled for 26 hours. Ate dinner for 6. Drank beer. They gave us cocaine, hookers, and AR15 guns.Total cost was $4.49. Tax included.

Great place to go at the Lounge, if Barb is bartending. She is friendly, always on her A game, not letting drinks get empty and always happy. Cant say that for other lounges. Her personality and attitude will have us coming back.

Its been probably a decade since Ive been to a bowling alley. This one is fine, and the employee I interacted with was very polite and accommodating to our disorganized group.

Review №69

Great place for the family. It is clean and staff is great. However, they to offer more options in terms of price. It can get very expensive if you pay the regular price and end up with few minutes of time. They should adjust pricing for kids. Just be aware. $25 for a party of 3 kids for 10 minutes is not resonable.

Great fun . The biggest problem we encountered was very slow service. The bar service was extremely slow and disorganized. There should have been two people minimum at the bar but instead there was only one lady running herself ragged trying to keep up. The other slow service came when the lane we were bowling on malfunctioned 3 times. Each time we had very long service waits. We played 2 games and it took about three hours. Despite all that we did have a good time at the alley.

Review №74

This is the worst service I have ever Experienced . the lady with the weird dyed hair was a rude person from the time i walked in the door . Wouldn’t put up bumpers for our friend who had never been bowling before because she wasn’t under the age of 10. She was rude as hell. I will never come back . She kept looking at me funny and granted I was the only colored person in there . I did not like her attitude one bit .Also they don’t honor their prices online .

Great place for your youth to bowl or even learn to bowl. They have several different youth leagues throughout the year starting at different times. Bowled here for more than 30 years.

Review №82

The place absolutely REEKED of cigarette smoke. Im assuming smoking may still be allowed in the bar area, because I didnt see any signs of smoking in the actual bowling areas -- but since the bar is somewhat open concept to the lanes, if smoking is allowed in the bar it would explain the smell. And we were in the lanes farthest from the bar -- and the smell of cigarettes was still pretty overwhelming.I rated it four stars because our kids did have a blast bowling. They have rollers for the younger kids and it is an overall pleasant outing. The facility is definitely dated, but I dont consider that a bad thing -- it felt like a throwback and I enjoyed it :)

Review №83

We had a good time because we never go bowling but all the bowling balls were around the same size and the holes for the fingers or only women to kid size. I only found one ball I could fit my fingers in and they barely fit. The bartender was very slow good thing there was not a lot of people trying to buy drinks cuz we still had to wait at least 10 to 15 minutes every time we try to get a drink. The chicken wings were pretty good and the front desk attendant was very nice

Review №88

A wonderful establishment--a bit dated but that doesnt hinder from the service. The lanes are excellent, perhaps a bit too slick at times, guess that just means we need to play more? The customer service is great, along with the pricing and bar (for adults). The food is good, decent selection of finger foods and often made fresh/right on the spot. Not a bad joint to bowl at with your friends or family. No reservations on the day of, though. So plan ahead and giveem a call

Five stars? You bet. Most people see that and assume I work there or Im a family friend, but Im not. Im just a guy who likes to bowl, have a couple drinks, and maybe bit of food with my friends. If you like good food and drink, good vibes, and great bowling, then Wade Hampton Lanes is a must!I bowl in a league there and the lanes are as good as it gets. Bowling is a priority and point of pride for Wade Hampton Lanes.Bottom line - whether youre looking for a place to hang out, have a drink and a bite or maybe roll a few games and take a shot at your very own 300, you want to go to Wade Hampton Lanes!!!I have never been to a better bowling alley! It was refreshing to walk into a bowling alley and be greeted by a staff with a beautiful smile and warm greeting (and to be incredibly helpful). I highly recommend to all of my friends!p.s. Didi Caldwell- I am not sure how this particular establishment works, but in my experience a vendor controls the machines and not the alley (much like the Pro Shop)! Also, Is $1 really worth coming on here in a mudslinging campaign? It is one thing to let your opinion of the establishment be known but doesnt slamming another person over $1 seems extreme?

Review №96

The lanes are a little older but still in good condition. The balls however seem like they were just pulled together and many of them are damaged. Its priced about average. Food options are what youd expect from a bowling alley and the pizza wasnt bad. No free refills on drinks though.

Review №98

I give this place a one star just because the doors opened and closed, took my family out for for a night of bowling I have my own personal ball, had to wait for 5 and sometime 10 minutes for my ball to return before I could pic up my spare, the scoring on the screen would jump to a different player before it was time to change players. Paid 79.95 for my family to play 2 games in 3 hours, my daughter wanted popcorn they were out, the rest rooms are nasty and smelled terrible no towels to dry your hands. I think I will take that one star back because my family and I wont be back.

We had fun with the kids, and then someone rented lanes on both sides of us and were drinking & being very loud and cussing. We had small children in our group . They should have families on one side and partners on the other side.
