Spare Time - Pineville

Spare Time is a great place to have some awesome fun with family and friends. Walking in and we were greeted by the employee at the counter. We asked him about the specials they had and he was very helpful. Got the special and our bowling shoes and proceeded to our lane. We were all having a good time bowling and enjoying each other's company. Employee at the counter gave great customer service, five stars.We needed some snacks and drinks so I headed over to the bar area to see what they had. I was so disappointed with the service here. There were two employees helping customers so we waited for our turn. Once they were done both of them walked away and began a conversation to the side of the bar. No problem, I thought, they will help us soon. Waited patiently and they clearly saw us waiting but continued their conversation. I was getting a bit annoyed and asked if someone could help us. They said they would bring right with us and began talking secretly to each other and covered their faces. By this time I was not happy with the service they were giving us. FINALLY, placed our order and thought wow that was expensive but I knew it would not be cheap. Our food came out and I immediately understood why. I asked for a SLICE of cheese pizza and he gave me a WHOLE cheese pizza. So this tells me that they were not LISTENING to what I was saying, ugggg. Subtracting two stars for customer service at the bar.

This place is soooo fun! From bowling, to escape rooms, laser tag, and video games galore! Even the prizes you can win from the tickets earned are fun! The food choices are really good and are great options for parties and hanging out with friends. We came here just for fun, to hang out with friends, and then a few times to celebrate the kids' birthdays. The staff at this location has always been pretty nice and helpful! You don't see that at many places where it gets loud like it does here! There should be more Spare Time locations!

I did not know this used to be Dicks! Kind of hard to find. I passed it. It's a nice clean place. I was concerned when I arrived and I saw security at the door. This place has bowling, arcade games, restaurants, and escape rooms. I was in the Elite room with a private group. Our server told us that the bar was out of a good bit of things to make drinks. I nibbled on a couple of things. Brussel sprouts and nachos were decent. I didn't bowl because I could fund a ball I was comfortable with. Either the holes were too tight or to big.I may come back with the grandbabies to have some fun.

I recently moved to the area and was having family in town to celebrate a birthday, so I was excited to find Spare Time as a place to go have some fun.There's a large parking lot, and the Establishment is spacious, clean, and more upscale than your everyday bowling alley or arcade.We went primarily for a game of laser tag, and we're happy to see that it wasn't just children that come (we are in our 30s). The price is good, and around is 10 minutes. I do wish that the instructions were a little clearer and that the staff explained the that there was a Nexus or how to use it. There were only seven of us playing, which was enough for the space. There were several more bags/guns available, but I think too many more would have made it too crowded inside. It would be nice if was an upstairs as well but I thought it was a great experience for the seven of us. The arcade has newer and more innovative games so we had a good time playing together as a group. I also appreciated that there were a good amount of group games to choose from.We didn't try any food or any of the other events, but I do hope to come back to try the escape room as well as bowling one day.

Decent arcade. Bowling is good. Wednesdays are the best bc bowling and arcade games are 50% off. My husband and I can share a $25 card and have a solid hour of game time - though we do prioritize the cheaper games that we can play together.

If you have time to go here, DO IT! Spare time is such a fun place to go! Spent 3-4 hours here and didn't get bored once. There's a lot of different things to do and the vibe is amazing!

Food is decent for a kids/family bowling alley, but the service is still so lacking. Even on a quiet afternoon - it seemed so poorly run. Everything was just slow - even trying to get someone to take drink orders at the lanes. The server that finally came over said "you'd be better off ordering from the bar" - so we did and then the bartender told us we weren't allowed to do that. Again, it's a fun place, with multiple activity spaces, I just wished the place ran better. Also, don't get the fried pickles - very little amount of pickles for the cost, and they tasted more like salt than a pickle.

This place is huge. So many activities and lots of potential to have a good time with friends and family. The customer service with friendly, welcoming and positive attitudes was just NOT there though. As for the food, I ordered the sampler platter and the Cheese sticks and sliders were kind of cold. The bartender was nice but just not a great feeling when you go with a group to have a good time and let down due to the unwelcoming service you get when you first walk in. The manager was nice also (we did not complain about our experience to him) He did let us know about some AC units being out (it did get kind of toasty) but overall we still had a good time since we made the best of it. Mix feelings about coming back but also understand that some business just have off days sometimes I guess.

Lots of fun -Bowling alleyLaser TagGamesLord of family's & friends. I'm guessing more adults coke later because they close at 1am.Pizza was amazing, my cocktails were good too. I would go back.

The bowling and escape rooms are amazing! I love going there and it's not that far away. The arcade is very fun but is expensive to get a prize. But I love it there and recommend.
