Will be visiting again soon! Lots of lanes, food and Jerry's pro shop that we highly recommend.We were there during a busy tournament and it was very nice to see the community encouraging and supporting the teen bowling teams.We were very happy Jerry was able to see us on short notice to have a ball drilled. As busy as it was he still took the time needed to get the job done. He definitely has alot of experience and you can tell he is truly passionate for the sport.Not only did he drill the ball but also engraved it.A cool retro bowling atmosphere, they offer 24 wood lanes, and not the newest system as we have experienced in other places but it is for sure all anyone really needs, there's no need for flashy selfie boards when we are just there to bowl! We had no technical problems of any kind and had a great time. Staff was nice and helpful, prices were fair for 2 games. We didn't get to try the food but it smelled good. Place is kept clean and bathrooms were clean, there was also a bathroom counter area that doubles as a changing table for babies so that is always a plus!

I booked here for my daughters 10th birthday party today, we all had a blast. Everyone was nice & helpful. We got a room for two hours, and 12 bowlers. The pizza & food were great & quickly made! We will definitely be back

First time there today and we enjoyed it. Good prices, super friendly staff and we were really pleased with the very reasonable concession prices. I also love that we had minimal issues with the lane, only one that required assistance, which came immediately. We'll definitely be back soon!

I really liked this bowling alley but EVERYTIME that my boyfriend and I go, the guy at the counter makes the same weird joke. My boyfriend gets a size 10 shoe and the guy at the counter always says “why do you need a 10 when you got one beside you.” After hearing this joke 5+ times we stopped coming back because it made us super uncomfortable and at the time I was underage. It’s hard to find a decent place to bowl in Charleston. Thought we found a good one but ended leaving because we were uncomfortable. I also see there is several reviews stating the same thing so this problem needs to be addressed.

We went on a Sunday, right when they opened, and the crowd wasn't bad. We were able to get a lane without waiting. It did pick up and get busy as we were leaving. The house ball selection seemed pretty standard but I can't make a fair assessment here, as I have my own equipment. The lanes were in good shape and we never ran into any technical issues.I would say that the oil pattern is light to moderate. The only negative thing I have to say is about the lane monitors and that's because they're dated. Ours seemed like a old picture tube tv about halfway out, which really isn't that big of a deal.I'll definitely be going back.

Did not support kids bowl free and made a 4 dollar "fee" per child and spent countless minnutes arguing with children, parrents and others. Would not recommend

Jerry Maxwell is just a great guy!! Super helpful every person whom we’ve encountered who works there is just super duper nice!!! Its really nice and clean no terrible smoke smells no body hanging in front of doors smoking, haven't had anything from the snack bar but what I've seen others get it looks really good. Id like to see a few upgrades in ladies room for those of us that need grab bars in a stall but other than that no complaints here

Fun for the kids and family to share in all together. They do have refreshments but it is not cheap. Can be made to be a reasonable price for a night of fun, but this is only by having a larger size group activity. It is approximately $50 per lane, and then the rate is hourly also. Cost for the shoe rental is not included.

Very popular place in Charleston. Can get crowded but I've never had to wait very long for an available lane. Great for family fun

great bowling alley but the man at the shoe counter makes the same pick up lines to my friends who are underaged girls every single time. and i’ve heard from MANY other girls at my school that he said the EXACT same lines to them. (the joke was that i said i was a size 10 and he said “why do you need a 10, you have 10’s all around you”)

Me and my husbands took our kids there late Saturday afternoon Labor Day weekend for a little family fun. The alley seemed dated and was not very clean. We bowled 2 games and as a family together we had a fun time. Our assigned lane kept messing up and not loading pins correctly and we had to reset it numerous times starting in the second game. As far as concessions we ordered sweet tea to drink and there was only enough for the 3 we ordered and the employee assured us he would be making more. When we went back again for refills and to order a pizza they we still out of tea. The pizza took an extremely long time to make and serve and it was not because it was busy at the time. We decided to stay and bowl a third game and the lane continued to give us problems stopping completely after about 20 resets during 4 frames. We reported it twice, and finally on the third trip to the counter requested to switch lanes which should have been offered to us in the beginning and the game started over instead of it being carried over. The prices were very reasonable to bowl but concessions were extremely high.

Great environment. Staff is willing to help any way they can. First ten lanes are oily and the last 10 lanes are dryer. House balls are great and I recommend their pro shop to anyone. Steven really helped me with my bowling and buying my first ball.

There aren't enough places like this around here, anymore. Things may have been outdated or "vintage" but that's what makes it fun. Great atmosphere for families and kids. Friendly and attentive staff.

The staff was friendly, the bathrooms was nice and clean. There's a parking lot, my family had lots of fun. Food and drinks was on point as well.

We had so much fun for my daughters 16th birthday. And the pizza was very yummy!!

It's okay I wouldn't recommend that much because it was expansive for what it ended up being. It was a cheap place that charged a lot. A lot of thing went wrong like the bowling ball kept getting stuck in the back and wasn't great service.
