The reset button on one of our lanes was missing, which became a problem when that lane would throw a random fit and reset by itself three or four times.
No crowds...but lanes & equipment are old.
The other lane, the one with slightly broken bumpers, had the first few inches on its top covering peeling up. Until now I never had clue that this was how the surface of a lane was laid down. I wish I had taken pictures of this.
The breaker on the ball return on our lanes did not work right, so the balls rocketed up and slammed into each other in front of us. Maybe not coincidentally, there was a notice near the seats saying that management was not responsible for damaged balls that bowlers brought with them.
It is very affordable but the food was disgusting, shoes had holes in them, the lanes kept messing up and the place was just dirty in general. They need to invest in better equipment and a better kitchen.
Just so sad.
The lanes keep messing up and getting my bowling ball stuck
I learned to bowl here, came with school, family and friends and even had my after prom here. I loved the slide in the bar (which somehow allows and encourages smoking now) and even took my daughter on it in the past. I hope the high school team no longer comes here because it is a total embarrassment for the city of Barberton!
Do not waste your money here!! Started bowling around 9. Immediately realized the last cone on the lane wasn't working. It would always say it was knocked out even when it wasn't. We didn't think it was a big deal because we were just playing for fun but it started throwing everything off and wouldn't pick up any up the pins we hit. We had paid for 2 game so we figured we would just finish. With about 3 frames left the computer shut down and said if we wanted to play more we had to buy more games. We told a worker because we wanted to finish and he got annoyed and said he would take care of it. We sat for about 10 minutes waiting while a different worker came over and started vaccuming all around us so we gave up. We were annoyed because there was still over an hour until they closed. While we were taking off our shoes the original guy who said he'd help us walked by without saying a word. I don't understand what kind of business they run where they don't care about the customer at all or the quality of their gameplay. Go spend your money somewhere else!!!!!
Friday at 9pm the place was empty, but for some reason it still took forever to start bowling. We had a coupon from the local newspaper which completely befuddled the staff who had to first find a manager to help us. We couldn't get three lanes together so we settled for two.
One lane also had a 'secret automatic spare' pin. No matter what other pins were still standing, if the 10 pin was down after the second ball, the frame would always be marked as a spare. How kind of it.
The lanes didn't seem to be oiled right, if at all. As someone who throws with a significant curve, this was very noticable.
