Spare Time Greenville

Pleasantly surprised at this place! Hadn't been and thought it was mostly 'bowling alley', but it's so much more. Good restaurant option, great bowling lanes with TV projections, and game space for kids (think D&B). Will definitely be back. We came for a kids birthday party but will enjoy a visit without a party, too.

While it was a fun experience the place feels a bit older and prices are higher, which is expected at a place like this. We were here on a pretty busy Saturday so I imagine that affected our experience a bit. The games were also a bit underwhelming, theres a few typical games but a lot of them seemed to be just tailored to children. There's plenty to do if you are a kid for sure. There didn't seem to be anyone wiping down any of the games while we were there either. The bowling alley itself went pretty smooth, but it's not a true game like at an actual bowling alley. The lanes were not slippery enough and your ball would gain a lot of traction. The prizes in the prize room were pretty basic and everything we tried to redeem tend to have the wrong price on them. We were seated at the restaurant and no one came by and greeted us for about 10 so we left and waited til we could order at the bowling area. Everything my group ate was ok, it took a long time for one person to get their food close to us being finished with the game.

I didn't think I would like this place as much as I do. We were suckered into the Kids Bowl Free program and naturally had to sign up as a family as well. You still pay for the shoe rental (we need to buy a couple of pairs for the adults). We've been a few times so far and had a good experience so far. The employees are polite (shocker, no really) and helpful. When we've experienced issues with the lane someone was quick to come and help. The kids have a great time and they even have those dinosaur roller thingies that help your kid roll the bowling ball down the alley, if they cannot do it by themselves (why weren't those things around when I was a kid? - wait, I didn't bowl as a kid). The computer system to input your party's name is easily navigable and each player can be edited to have guard rails (I will admit I do use them and still can't reach a high score). Two games, depending on your party/lane size can pass fairly quickly, so you're not stuck there for hours upon hours. I think 8 people per lane are allowed. Maybe some people do want to be there for hours and hours; especially on Wednesdays, because everything is half off. Lesson learned; it's crowded on Wednesdays and we had to wait over an hour to get bowling lanes with friends. Since this is obviously an eatertainment they offer a full-service restaurant with standard American fare. There is an arcade, two bowling areas and escape rooms. I've also seen a bunch of older people dancing. Here's to summer time bowling. Happy yelping!

Great place for a family outing or a date night. Went out with friends ans our kids and had a blast. Can be pricey but check out there website and make plans, they have a lot of specials. There are lots of games, make sure you get reservations for bowling - it was a 2 hr wait so we didn't get to do that but we ate plates games, they have laser tag and well as a mins games escape room. The restaurant was just ok, we'll probably skip that next time honestly and eat beforehand. Our waiter, Ace was awesome though, we went on a very hectic night and they were short handed, he took good care of our group and have a very positive attitude despite how his first day had been going. He made It a pleasant experience and had the right attitude the whole night. Definitely going to be coming back here with our kids.

Food could not be a bigger disappointment. Did not realize you could mess up pizza and tortilla chips. Chicken tenders were anything but tender. Never gonna go there hungry again!

Spare Time Greenville is a great way to spend an afternoon (and a lot of money!). It's fun for kids and adults alike, whether you're in the mood for bowling, laser tag, or video games. I have 3 boys ranging in age from 4 to 11 and each of them have a blast every time we go. From what I've noticed, they don't really have sales or deals going on beyond being a VIP member or possibly a birthday gift. If you're only interested in laser tag and video games, do yourself a favor and skip the line trying to talk to someone but going to one of the kiosks. You can purchase new game cards and also recharge old game cards at any of them.

What a great entertainment spot for Greenville to enjoy!! They have everything from a fully stocked arcade with almost every game you can think of, escape rooms, laser tag and bowling! Not to mention they have multiple bars and a wonderful restaurant that prepares dynamite food which I'll get to in a moment. Ample parking is available for this large venue. This is a great spot for parties, work gatherings, birthdays or any celebration or family fun day imaginable. My family of 9 went for bowling on a busy day after Christmas. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait for two lanes and they kept right to that schedule. We did not call ahead or have reservations and were fine waiting as we went straight to the bar. The bar is full service with wine, liquor and beer and you can take your drinks to the bowling lane if they call you earlier than expected. They have a great selection of craft beer, large TVs displaying sports games and tons of table top space to accommodate the crowds. Once we got to our bowling lane which was in the elite room (semi private used for event space I believe) we were greeted with a waiter for more drink and food service. The service was great, constant and friendly. The food was absolutely fantastic. This is not your standard bowling alley fare! I would say this is a wonderful restaurant that happens to have bowling lanes. We ordered a little of everything: pizza, mozzarella sticks, quesadillas, loaded tots, and fries. Everything was delicious but the loaded tots really stood out! Pics included! Highly recommend this place and check out their daily specials for discounts and the best way to maximize your time!

We visited Spare Time Greenville twice this Memorial Day weekend. On Sunday they have bowling for $2.22 from 9-11 PM. We decided to go after having dinner Sunday. The wait time was about an hour during this time. We killed time by playing games in the arcade. They have plenty of things to do there instead with the bar, decent sized arcade, escape rooms, and laser tag . I tried their $7 Memorial Day white cocktail which tasted good, but like a virgin pina colada. I would not recommend bowling if you have more than 3 players and they call you for a lane after 10 PM. We tried it with four players and ended up getting our game cut short by two rounds because they closed at 11 PM. It kind of felt like money wasted, although we still had fun. We ended up coming back the next afternoon to play in the arcade again, since we had cash left on the game cards and aren't from this area. It was less crowded during the day today. My son ended up coming home with several small toys from the prize room. Please note that you cannot pay for any of the items in the room. Some arcades allow you to pay money with a toy amount if you do not have enough tickets. Spare Time staff stated that you must have enough tickets to redeem for an item. The prizes ranged from candy, balls, toys to electronics. Overall, I recommend it if you're looking for something to do that all ages can enjoy.

This was such a fun day! We came here because a neighbor was having a birthday party. We arrived to a very cool building off woodruff rd (but with backroads so you can avoid the traffic) with plenty of parking. When we got inside we were greeted with smiles (behind masks) social distancing spots for the line to pay.We got our sanitized bowling shoes and made our way into a private bowling ~elite~ room with 10 private lanes. This was so nice to have! Music played, fancy disco lights and strobe light options. Each lane lit up in difference colors with 2 HUGE projector screens playing football.We had private servers who took our food orders and brought us drinks flowing (kids you bowl, momma gonna have an adult drink). They had a full menu to choose from, along with a real restaurant inside the event center. After the bowling games the kids led us to the arcade where we whooped their butts in some airhockey & driving games. (They had loads of other games too!) We also got to play a game of laser tag which was a hoot! We decided we will be back next weekend and ready for a neighborhood battle in laser tag (the perfect game to social distance!)

We paid 58 dollars for an hour escape room and the help button stopped working less than halfway through and we solved a riddle to get a flashlight and once we got the flashlight it stopped working within 5 minutes when it was supposed to work the whole rest of the time. We needed that flashlight to solve the next riddle and we couldn't solve it and we ran out of time. We did not get offered our money back or even a discount on anything afterward. I will not be coming back here anytime soon.
