Great option for rainy summer day with your kids! Shoes sizes run weird, size up. Food was good but more gluten free option would be stellar.

This is a great place for a private event. Lots of laughter and fun was had as we were all equally bad. Lots of food, nice pours from the bar, and very attentive staff. 10/10 recommend.

AWESOME PLACE!! The drinks were a tad bit over priced, the food is really good. I came to have a bonding event with my wedding party and it was a Great event. The Manager Kendell is an awesome person. When our lanes were given away he jumped right in to correct the situation with a smile! Keep up the great work and we will definitely be back!!

Awesome place to come bowl and have fun.. Total of 14 lanes.. The staff is top rate and very friendly and helpful. They are at the top of their game. So glad I choose to come bowl here while my wife was at a staff training here in the same area. Great and awesome.. Will be back in future visits.. They get you set up and you are free to just bowl and dine and drink and enjoy. Come give them a visit.

I recently hosted a corporate event with over 100 guests at Bowl and Barrel and wanted to recognize Ingrid, the venue manager, and her amazing team. They were super professional and paid attention to every little detail, making the whole event a seamless, successful experience! The food and drink selection were great as they had a variety of tasty dishes that catered to all preferences. All in all, Bowl and Barrel exceeded my expectations, and I have Ingrid and her incredible team to thank for that. They truly made our visit special, and I can't wait to come back soon.

Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and we managed to get a lane for 2 hours without any wait! 10 per person / per hour during the early hours of the day which was a steal!! We had a great time bowling and the drinks were a nice touch to our visit. This isn't your traditional bowling alley which we liked, and everything felt clean / spacious between lanes. Their food menu looked appealing but we did not try anything. Thanks for a great time, we will definitely return!
