Attended an event at this location a couple of days ago. Unfortunately, this is one of the most run-down bowling alleys that Ive ever been to. Duct tape on the floor holding on stair edging, ceiling tiles water stained and falling down, bathroom stalls ripped from the wall, fans everywhere before the AC is down. Our event took up a majority of the lanes available, which made things pretty busy. There were numerous occasions where the lanes would freeze up or the bowling balls would get stuck behind the pins and would not return. We probably experienced a half dozen issues that delayed out games a good 45 minutes. Overall, I think they are very short staffed, which is what prevented them from being able to fix our issues in a more timely manner. Overall, we were able to complete our games, but the location needs a major reno. There are other bowling alleys in the area. I most likely will be going to those and wont be returning here.

I thought it was a little pricey for three games of bowling for five people. And this particular day their air conditioning was not working, but they had lots of fans. The lanes were fine, and the beer was tasty. All in all, a solid place.

I came here for the first time 3 weeks ago with my family, we ordered food. 5 people, 5 meals… we received 3 1/2 meals. They “claimed” we didn’t order enough although we paid for 5 meals. I’m forgiving! Here tonight, got our lane… 10 minutes in lane stalled. Waiting 35 minutes for them to fix it, lane proceeded to jam 3 more times with long wait to fix. My daughter ordered fries, we received those. My husband went and ordered fries… nothing came. He went up to ask… they claimed he didn’t order. Again lane jammed 45 minutes later it was fixed. Worst customer service EVER. I will never return or recommend this place. WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER.🤬🖕🏻

I grew up bowling at Val Lanes. I bowled in a kids league for 10+ years. Even took bowling lessons here. My whole family has actually worked there at some point when it was run by the old owners. It was my very first bartending job. This place used to feel like a second home.Going in there last night with a group of friends was pretty heartbreaking. That place is being held together by pieces of literal duct tape. One bar stool had so much duct tape on it keeping it together that it left a sticky residue on my friends pants. The we’re at least 10 or more lanes that couldn’t be used because they were broken. On a busy Saturday night that’s a ton of money the bowling alley is losing out on. Front counter ladies were doing their best but the attitudes were a bit much. The bartender was the nicest person there. Lanes we’re in terrible condition. Bathrooms were disgusting. All the bowling balls looked like they were ancient some even had chips in them. Most the kids around us weren’t even wearing bowling shoes. It’s was just so disheartening to see how bad this bowling alley has gotten.
