I saw a lot of professional bowling teams within All Star so this establishment may be catered towards highly skilled bowlers, and if you fall into that category this spot may be for you.I came with 4 children on a Friday afternoon at 2:30P.M. Price for one game with shoes for the four came to $29.There were two staff members during our visit. They both worked tirelessly to help service the patrons bowling. Our lanes were switched twice as the bowling balls continued to get stuck. The second lane got to the point where we had 12+ balls stuck on the lane, as we had become tired of going to find help each time a ball was stuck. This really hurt the momentum of the game. And since all the balls continued to accumulate, the kids would miss turns as the sensor would incorrectly assume the balls stuck were gutter balls. The group next to us also continued to have the same issue. I wish we were able to type our names in as well. Names are put in by the staff member checking you in. Part of the fun at bowling is creating fun names for the boards.

Great spot for family bowling. Low key, old school neighborhood vibe. Family had a great time with the relaxed atmosphere where the kids could play next to those on date night, leagues, or buddies bowling. Enjoyed seeing the community out celebrating and having a great night together. Don't skip the icee options for kids. Big hit with the pizza!

I booked a party at All Star Bowl for my daughter's 15th birthday. I began the process by filling out the online form, but no one had contacted me after a couple days, so I called. The gentleman who answered was friendly, efficient and helpful. He quickly checked the schedule for the date I requested and provided the available times for that day. He took my credit card info for the $25 deposit and we were all set!On the day of the party, we arrived and were greeted warmly. Again, the gentleman at the desk was kind and provided service with a smile. I think the cupcakes gave us away because he greeted me by name. Our party was scheduled for 2pm, but several of my guests were going to be late, so when he asked what time the entire group would arrive, I was relieved. They were flexible with us on the start time, so we pushed it back a half hour to give our group time to arrive.We were provided a list for guests' names to be put in the computer and for bowling shoe sizes to be listed. It made everything run smooth and quick. Pizzas were scheduled to come out 30 minutes into our party, and they were right on time. I did have to go ask about our beverages, but those came out rather quickly too. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is due to the ongoing computer malfunctions on our lanes. We had lanes 45-48 initially, but since a few of our guests couldn't make it, we were given 45-47. Immediately, 45 presented itself to be an issue, so that group was relocated to 48. Eventually, 46 began doing the same things. Balls kept getting stuck, pins weren't being counted and the games kept ending prematurely. It was really frustrating. They did comp 2 of the pizzas ($16 value) for the inconvenience, but that really couldn't make up for the fact that some of us never got to finish even one game.Overall, the friendliness of the staff made the difference and my teenagers had a good time. If I were to return, I definitely would not choose to bowl on those lanes!

I bowl in one of the local leagues during the week and decided to purchase a newer bowling ball. After several weeks of vacation I decided Monday would be the best day to pick up the bowling ball. I called All Star Saturday to verify what time the Pro Shop would be open to avoid wasting time. I arrived 12pm and find no one at the counter, I walk around to find another customer looking for someone as well. After 10 minutes two staff members appeared out of no where. Neither one seemed interested in asking me if I had been helped. I finally asked if the Pro Shop is open today one responds he is not sure then the other says it is not his department (not sure how many departments are in a bowling alley). The manager emerges 10 minutes later and apologizes about the wait. He stated the Pro Shop is not part of the bowling alley and they have there own hours. I asked what he meant because I called Saturday to verify the hours of operation and it was stated on the phone that the shop would be open Monday. He said they are contracted out and they never know when they will show up. By this time I was rather frustrated especially after spending 35 minutes idling. I told him I would wait a few minutes more. No one ever showed up so I left. He then disappeared and never saw anyone at the counter before I left to provide me any type of update.I am not sure what I can convey other than call before you waste your time assuming the Pro Shop will be open during the posted hours listed on the website and Pro Shop.

Went here for a team-building event. Cool little hidden gem. Reasonable prices, lots of lanes, and friendly staff. It's a pretty basic alley, no fancy screens or lighting or anything. But has everything you need to enjoy a few frames with your friends.

From the outside of this place, wasn't sure what to expect. BUT..... this place is awesome! You can control the music that is played on your phone, of course it costs, but that is so cool! Pricing was fairly cheap! The lanes were nice, although very slick! The staff is the reason for the 5 stars though. One lady in particular was extremely helpful, and so upbeat and positive. Really appreciated spending time here.

I'm not a huge bowler but had a great time here! I came here with my whole soccer team on a Thursday. To my surprise it was full of people-- seemed to be a "senior bowling" league going on! We took up about 8 lanes and all had a good time. The man at the desk was very helpful with shoes even with all 30 of us girls coming up at the same time. Any time we had a problem with our lane they were quick to help and fix the problem. The prices seemed fair. The lanes were well taken care of. I can say that sometimes setting up the lanes was a little confusing because of all the buttons but maybe it was just me!Like I said, I don't go bowling often but will suggest All Star Bowling my next time!

Great place to go bowling with family or friends! We play in a Monday night league and the staff are super accommodating and friendly. One of our favorite places to bowl in Indy! One word of caution, try and stay away from lane 9, as it always seems to have issues. Otherwise, you can't go wrong. Bring cash for snacks and drinks!

if I was able to give this business a negative review I would!! Our family came together for my son's return home from the military. our party was a party of 55 and we all played 2 games. Some of our party came in 30 minutes after the initial arrival. The gentleman worker first put our remaining party on an already occupied lane. When we asked to be moved because the lane was already occupied, the worker became indignant and said there is no one on that lane. When we had the occupants of the lane come down and tell the staff that they had already been assigned to the lane he tried to assign our party to, the worker became irate and said, " this is the only change I am making tonight ". We are really heartbroken because we have always enjoyed the customer service at this establishment. So sad!Signed"NEVER AGAIN"

I went back and they gave us a better ramp, which was pretty good for it to be a small ramp and it was awesome although it was kind of wobbly, but I had some friends to hold it down for me. I really like this place you should go there.
