For no particular reason, perhaps it was on a whim, I decided to drive the 20 minutes for me, down to Bloomington and check out their only bowling alley. It's the only one I'm aware of and for a city of this size, I would think there would be more than one. A Yelp search returns this location as the only bowling alley in Bloomington. It does not list the one on the IU campus probably because it is for students and not the public.The location was not so easy to find even with GPS. I missed the first turn because it didn't look like a street but more like a driveway. Eventually arriving close to my destination, I found the building is located behind a row of buildings on a main road and then set back out of sight on a side street to accommodate a large parking lot. Upon arrival I saw half of the overheard lights turned off making it rather dark inside. The counter person gave me an open lane sandwiched between two sets of young children. Out of 32 lanes, everyone was crammed into the last eight lanes all bunched up together. The other 24 lanes were empty on a day when no leagues were due to bowl per their website. Could I not get a lane without having to share the ball return with people that don't know proper bowling etiquette? It is customary to wait for the person next to you to take their turn so they have no distractions. This was not the case with both sets of people on either side of me, including the adults and the children. Then someone turned on the music on these large speakers mounted every ten feet or so. It was so loud people had to shout to be heard. I happen to be on a phone call and had to step outside the building to talk. I could not hear them and vice versa. If it was later in the evening I could understand but it in the middle of the afternoon. I wasn't there to party, I was trying to practice my bowling skills which takes concentration. I found it too difficult to concentrate with their blaring offensive music. Then there was the snack bar. It was closed! There were no alternatives. No vending machines providing liquid refreshments and a big sign on the door that said no outside food or drink is allowed. Is bowling a sport? Hydration during sporting events is not allowed here?I bowled four frames and left; never to return. I donated my remaining games to the children next to me.

Service was friendly. Drinks were abundant. The interface was up to date. Food was great! Cheese curds are a winner!

Classic is right - this place looks like an older bowling alley that might've outlived its glory days. Not a shabby place to bowl in Bloomington, but you will be out $45 if 4 people want to bowl 2 games. Maybe this is a normal price, I'm no bowling aficionado - I just know a too-steep-looking price when I see one. Might be back if I get bored on yet another cold-as-balls day. On the positive side? Discovered I'm decent at bowling.

One word: hilarious!This is your typical bowling alley. Renovated not long ago so everything looks nice and new! Staff were really friendly. Shoe sizes run large. It was busy on a Saturday evening with a lot of groups with children. Pool and air hockey games available. Typical bowling alley food with a bar option.High tech screens for bowling and boy were they funny! You can take different pictures of yourself as a player and it displays on the screen. They do all sorts of silly cartoons with your face every time someone takes a turn. It was so funny and had our group laughing nonstop! We had a lot of fun there. Definitely recommend for groups and especially children!

RECENTLY REMODELED! It is awesome now. They have new furniture, TVs, and computers. The new computers are touch screen tablets. They're a lot easier to use than the bulky, outdated computers they used to have. The tablets have many different features. You can take your our player profile pictures, mini games, different themed backgrounds which will transfer onto the big TV screens along with the scores. The tablets can connect to Facebook and do so much more.

Reasonable prices and pretty clean. They play good music and it is always a good time! We went with a group of 5 on a Friday night and immediately got a lane

People were armed so we asked the manager if guns were allowed. He replied, "We don't not allow it." Guns + kids. We won't be bringing our family back.

I would like to give them zero stars because I was walking out the workers called me a slut which was completely uncalled for as I didn't say a single word to them then they continued to yell other vulgar things to me and my underage friends
