Brunswick Mockingbird Lanes

My fiancé and I had an amazing time bowling here on our day date. I was so impressed by the design of this bowling alley with its 31 lanes. The staff was incredibly friendly, and having a bowling store on the premises was so convenient. We've been to the shop several times, and now it's the only place I go for my bowling needs.

We went late on a Saturday night (9pm or so) and got a lane right away. There are plenty of game themes to choose from and the music was current! I would come back here again. Sadly the food was closed but the bar service was great.

Popped in, briefly, to attend my GodDaughter's birthday party. Although the party room is tucked away in a hard to reach spot, everything else seemed pretty cut and dry for a bowling alley. They had a bout 4 arcade machines (1 didn't work), 2 Claw machines, and a pretty cool punching bag game. All the kids appeared to enjoy the bowling and the bowling alley seemed pretty clean. The staff was pretty meh, nothing too special. Just seemed like they were doing their job. I ordered some fried mushrooms and they came out pretty quick. They had a jug with water, in the food area, where I'm guessing everyone serves themselves. A few parents were in the bar area, which looked nice. Overall, just a regular bowling alley. Nothing great or outlandishly bad.

It's an A-Ok place to bowl if you're south of L street. Even though we waited over and hour to get our lanes for a birthday party and was promised two games we only got in 1 because we had to be off the lanes by 830. While we waited, we went to the bar and there was a 69th birthday party happening and thEy ran out of almost all of draft beers. We had a few malfunctions with our particularly lane not registering bowls. Food was good buut kind of overpriced.

Went there the other day with a group of 10 people for open bowl on a Friday night. Called before we came and was told the open bowl was first come first serve and nothing could be reserved. Okay, no big deal! We got there and went up to the lady at the front to see if they had open lanes, they did not so we put on names on the wait list. The woman was less than nice and let it be known she was annoyed with having to deal with so many people. We decided to go wait in the restaurant area and order food. We went up to order food and the woman taking the orders was extremely rude. She acted as though we were inconveniencing her, spending $150 on food for 10 people. Nothing was specialty ordered or anything like that. She was busy, which I get, but she did not have to be rude. Did not think it could get much worse until the food came out. It was TERRIBLE. Don't get me wrong, I know it is a bowling alley and did not expect a 5-star burger, but for $13, McDonalds would have been better.

Throughout high-school, I was part of a bowling team for the school. After having issues with Western Bowl not oiling their lanes properly, our team decided to transfer over to Mockingbird for our weekly practices. Throughout my countless hours spent here, we never had any major problems. We held many practices here, as well as, Monday night bowling league.

We have just got home from being kicked out of the bowling place. The management is horrible, their equipment is outdated cause the pin protector not move up at all. They blamed is hitting a ball against the rail accident. They shut down our lane with 30 minutes left for hitting the rail and the management didn't tell us. Instead they just turned off he lane without saying a word waiting for us to leave.Save your money, go else where

The place itself isn't that bad, the lanes are nice. It's not super roomy though. If you have more than 4 people you feel pretty cramped. The food was large portions for a fair price as well. I feel like the bowling itself was pretty expensive. It was 40 dollars for the two of us to cosmic bowl. That's a lot to just bowl. We also had to wait a long time to be able to begin bowling. My problem with this place is the weird rules. They told me that you can't get water in here unless you pay for a bottle out of the vending machine. I talked to table next to me and they said after asking for an hour they were finally able to PURCHASE a pitcher of water. We paid 20 a person to bowl here during cosmic bowling so you should be able to get all the cups of water that you want!I don't think I would come back. My group kept calling this place stingy, and I would agree.

3 stars for how expensive this place is for not much. My boyfriend and I paid $40 for the two of us on cosmic bowling night. Most of the time the employees are nice. The food is exactly what you would think bowling alley food would taste like. I've seen reviews about having to pay for water, most of the time there's a huge thing of water sitting out, you just have to ask for a couple cups.

We went there with a group, and it was terrible. Be careful! I purchased one Truly and the bartender overcharged me $80, so now I have to deal with the fraud and file a police report. I tried to contact the manager and they hung up on me. Stay away unless you want to deal with credit card fraud
