Bardstown Bowling Center

Worst excuse for bowling operation possible. Broken down equipment, damaged chairs, leaking roof, nasty bathrooms, dirty carpets . . . need I say more!

I hope this place is better at night, but bowling at 2pm in the afternoon on a Friday was no impressive. It was dead quiet when we came in and the lady working couldn't have put a smile on her face if she tried. Once we played one game and asked for another I finally broke down and asked her about the music. Typically when we have been here there was music. She turned it on after I said something-and boy it was louder than I remember. We wanted to order food, but she hadn't even turned the TV on that had the menu on it. They were out of pizza and corn dog nuggets. The place does need a makeover. There are some bar stools with stuffing coming out of the seats. I am sure they don't expect many customers during the day, but it would be nice to have this place be consistent and not lax on having equipment out during the day. My son had to take the employee a hammer he found on his bowling lane. I am glad there is a bowling alley close to us, but wish it was better quality and more customer service. Next time I think we will go to Danville and bowl.

Friendly staff kept this bowling center from getting one star. Our balls & pins kept getting jammed in the machine. We first noticed the balls were not being returned. Then, 5 or 6 balls would come through to us. Thanks to the young man that had to go un-jam the machine SEVERAL times for us. I noticed the pair of lanes next to us were out of order, too. On the up-side, there were very few bowlers on a Saturday afternoon. My kids had a lot of space to move. Also, this bowling center serves decent French fries and has a selection of beer & liqueurs.
