SpareMe the Details…

While our bowling lanes and arcade games are the main attraction, we also feature a delicious menu with mouthwatering pizzas, signature tossed wings, and our spin on some worldly classics. With gluten free and vegan options prominently featured, we made sure to have a little something for everyone. Pair your meal with one of signature cocktails and let the good times ROLL!
12 Bowling Lanes · 6 Skeeball Games · 8 Pinball Games · 13 Arcade Games
SpareMe the Drama…
Book ahead of time to spare yourself the drama of a sold out night. Lanes are $40/hour and can fit up to 5 people. If you'd like to book two lanes together, we offer a lounge option which can hold up to 12 people at $100/hour.
*Booking a lounge guarantees that your party will bowl together! Booking two individual lanes does not guarantee that we will be able to place your party on two lanes next to one another. If your party is over 5 people, we recommend that you spare yourself the drama and book the lounge.*
An Unmatched Experience Awaits.
From hand-tossed pizzas to delicious sliders, subs, and delightful salads, we’ve got food covered. But not to worry, our effort didn’t stop there. We’ve curated a long list of classic and signature cocktails, local craft beers and tapped libations that will tickle your taste buds and leave you wanting more.
Whether you’re just passing through, or a soon to be local loyalist, we look forward to seeing your smiling face as you hit a killer strike, sip on our craft cocktails or reach the new high score on one of our classic arcade games. We’ll see you soon!
