by Amy Z. on I'm going to try not deducting points for this place being so not my scene, but it's going to be pretty hard. - The entire alley smells like bro pheromones (cologne and whiskey breath) - $10 entrance fee + Free coat check - Dark as fuck - Upbeat piano jazz + No charge for my ginger ale - Dancing on tables Eh, I thought I did a pretty good job at rating this place fairly. I'm leaving three stars because I'm sure it's a very nice place for many people. I came here for a friend's graduation party, and almost all of us felt out of our element. I felt VERY out of place in my jeans and long-sleeve shirt. You'd probably do well by showing up in party gear and strappy heels or a popped collar.
by Adam Beary on All too often, I find myself at some union square locale with a bunch of friends, stomachs full, and the question comes up: what now? go to a bar in the neighborhood? okay, [lukewarm reception] i guess we can do that lower east side? sure - sigh. Can we all fit in one cab? bowlmor? AWWWW yeah! Sometimes you can go and it is a crowded mess. Waiting for an hour to play on titled cracked lanes can temper the excitement of even the most fervid bowlmor fan. But every once in a while, you get lucky. And with out even having to lift a hand for a taxi or another swipe of your metrocard, you've guaranteed a great night. Expect to pay $10/person/game (unless you team up). Plus drinks. So it can definitely add up. But there's just something wonderful about bowling in Manhattan.
by duane m. on I didn't have as good of an experience as the other reviewers, mainly because the food was only okay, the drinks were hard to get from our server, and this was because he did everything possible to ignore us. That is kind of weird, since the place was so small. There was also a promotional drink thing going on that night, and literally, everyone around us got free drinks except for us. Perhaps it was because we were obviously the only gay couple in there? I would like to think that wasn't it, but based on what I saw, I definitely think it was. Oh well, won't be going back; there wasn't anything worth going back for.
