Bowling! And thats about it. This place has a legacy like no other. The atmosphere is... admittedly quite drab, and the bowling is exactly as youd expect out of bowling. But this place still is special in the hearts of Defiance.

Dimly lit.... and some of the kids games were out of order. Place could definitely use a remodel to update it as you can tell its been a long time if ever since they had one done. Lanes seemed in good working order at least...had no issues with the scoring system either.

Used to be decent...now its deteriorating a bit. Ball return equipment malfunctioned several times, causing delays in our games. Nothing horrible, but definitely a bit annoying.

On the plus side, the score keepers are very nice. They are modern, and have lots of cool features, like chat. The lanes themselves were also great. But, the place is so dirty! The screens were covered in grime. The table was sticky. The bathroom was a mess. The seats were dirty. But, the biggest offense was the shoes.We were getting shoes, and someone returned a pair. The lady kept handing them to us. I thought she just got them mixed up with the ones she was getting for us. I gave them back, and told her someone had just returned them twice with no response, before she eventually said we just had to take those. No antifungal spray, no lysol, not even time for the athletes foot to dry! Disgusting. So, I asked for the spray to do it myself. She didnt answer, so I think she must be hard of hearing, and ask louder, (for the record, all of this politely of course). She looked me dead in the eye and ignored me. Thank goodness there was spray on the counter, which I took and used on all of our shoes, despite the mean look i got from the worker. The whole time we were there, she put every single pair of shoes back on the shelf unsprayed. Even though the chance of catching toenail fungus is low, thats unacceptable. Theres a lot higher chance than if they were disinfected. There was zero customer service, and we definitely didnt feel welcome. Well stick to napoleon from now on, which sucks because we would much rather keep our business in town.

We were bowling and they turned on colored lights and all that stuff . My husband can not be around it or he will have a seizure. The old lady that ran the place was real mean . dont think we will go back .

No left hand balls. The lanes are oiled to the extreme so expect the ball to roll straight down the lane. The owner is kind though and thats why its not a 2 🌟

We had to wait over 15 minutes for the bartender to show up. Then after sitting at the bar waiting for an hour they gave one of our lanes away. Until they hire some help Id avoid it.
