Its. ... a bowling alley. Its all you want and need. Like who cares if there is no giant jenga. Theyre got great prices, bowling alley fair, complete with the right amount of surly/friendly staff. Guys, this is bowling. Its cosmic yo.

The bowling balls were pretty new and in good condition. The bathrooms were out of soap and the concession stand employee was very rude.

I loved it. It was my first time going bowling. The staff was friendly and super helpful. There was restaurants on the facilities so we could eat and play at the same time. I think the prices were reasonable too.

My family always has the best time at this bowling alley. The staff is great, the alley is really clean, bathrooms are clean as well. The food and the drinks are good as well. Its very inexpensive even the twilight bowling. I recommend Funtimes over many of the larger bowling alleys. O yea its tucked away so pay attention...once u walk through the doors and down the steps .....all i can say is Let the funtimes roll.

A bit of a hole in the wall but fun and cheaper than most bowling alleys. The owner is very accommodating. This is my go-to alley :)

At first I thought it was closed because they didnt have any neon lights on but you go downstairs & let the fun begin. I must stay the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. I ordered a shot, beer, wings & fries. I dont like hot wings but my husband does & WOW... these were PERFECT, I ate most of the food, lol. The prices were very readonable. I saw a review about a dog & Im guessing the lady who took over our cashiers shift, its hers. The puppy was very chill. The atmosphere was beautiful. We enjoyed our night of cosmic bowling. My husband loved to bowl as a child & wanted to get back into the swing of things. We WILL be returning.

Takes me back to the good ole days of bowling, but with fluorescent balls and black lights. Very cool. Kind of in a wierd plaza, but cool none-the-less. The crowd is very laid back and down right earthy. No pretention here at all. A great place to let your hair down and relax.

Unbeatable bowling and concessions pricing! Extremely clean, staff was nice. The only negative was there werent enough balls.. that could have been because people had too many at there lanes but staff should keep up with that. But we will definitely be back!

I like this place. Its not high-end or anything, but its a great value and a good spot for kids during the day. Its bowling, I dont need super fancy and $20/game. This place is reasonably priced and has some decent food too.

Do not go here please find somewhere else to go. My daughter and myself came here to bowl, we paid our money got our shoes and were looking for ball and they didnt have any balls to fit us so I asked the attendant can we get some balls and he told me that they dont have balls you know in the size 6 and 7 so I asked for my money back then thats when he told me that he cant give me my money back and he gave me two vouchers with no free shoes and Ive already paid for shoes so basically youre forcing me to stay here and spend my money in this establishment. This place does not give refunds there are no signs posted anywhere in this place that says that they do not give refunds however they give you a voucher for a free bowling game that does not include shoes when you already paid for shoes.

We come here every week. Pros: reasonably priced beer, bowling, ability to get a lane, general lane conditions are good Cons: No tvs in lanes, would be a slam dunk place to come if you could watch sports and bowl, always mechanical issues with the ball return, pricing is sketchy it cost us something different every time and always have to argue about how many games bowled and who already paid etc. Food is gross.We love the place and will keep coming and we understand that upgrades are expensive but a little TLC and some TVs would go a long way.

Review β„–18

Theyve recently redone the place with new TVs, carpet, and tile. Its much nicer looking inside. The staff is really friendly although I play in a league here so they know me. The bathrooms are still pretty gross. The prices are unbeatable, cheapest inside the perimeter.

Review β„–19

This place is old, gross, and the balls are way too heavy with tiny finger holes. Not sure how they pass inspections. There was nasty stuff in the ice and their liquor bottles looked like they came out of somebody’s basement. Do not recommend, super sketch. You might contract hepatitis C here.

Horrible. Customer service was a joke. They had policeman and someone patting men down at the door. It was nasty looking and I do not recommend this place without a bullet proof vest.

Very old and outdated but had a good time. Lane resets very fast but had problems multiple times within two games. Staff quickly fixed issue. Saw tray balls are stored on was held together with tape. All together decent place just needs to be updated with small repairs and paint. Shoes run very big on ladies, used a 7 and I wear 8.5. Staff alerted me to sizing difference when I got shoes.

Review β„–22

Great place for a cheap price. You just give the attendant your id then go bowl. The area is clean and they have great music. In addition they have a smoking lounge away from all customers. 3 games for two people is under 30 bucks.

Funtime bowl off buford highway. I havent been in this facility in at least 10 years. as soon as i return on Monday i see Bob the same dude after all these years.,he said he had been there for more than 30 plus years. He was still forever friendly and very helpful. i brought a group of bowlers with me. I told Bob i thought he was the owner by now.hes dedicated , dependable person . thanks again for being so attentive Bob!! but this place needs a deep-cleaning and a upgrade.its in a perfect location.But still looks the same since 20 yrs ago!!

Review β„–32

Our lanes had issue after issue. We had a party of 10 and it took 3hrs to get 1 game played on 2 lanes. The pin setting matching and gate stopped working after almost every bowl, and the ball return would stop working every 2-3 bowls. Then the food was awful. We ended up throwing out most of it. We would have left if it wasnt for a planned occasion that would have been ruined with us trying to change locations. It was bad, really bad.

Not for ppl looking for a nightclub with bowling in it. Its a bowling alley for bowlers that love the ball to return quickly, a lil lane privacy, cheap games, and a friendly face. Mr. Bob is super sweet, he polished my grandmas old ball and gave awesome advice. See u there

Review β„–43

The staff is pretty rude here, when we asked a question, one of the employees said oh my god in an annoyed tone. The lanes arent as polished as they are suppose to be. Lastly, the shoes literally look like they picked them out of a dumpster, never coming back.

Review β„–44

This place is disgusting me and my lady friend were both purely disgusted by the strong smell of mold upon entering the establishment. I am now suffering a massive frontal lobe headache due to these harsh and unhealthy environments and to top it off they’re was only one person working the entire alley. We waited too long to bowl. DO NOT GO HERE. Good prices and nasty.

Worst customer service. From the moment we stepped in the owner had a bad attitude. He seemed like he was annoyed to have us there the whole time. Never going back. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else and pay a few dollars more.

I didnt even get to go thank God! I called to inquire about the place on 8/08/2017 @2:54pm. I was hung up on several times by a boy. He told me to stop fu**** calling and spewed out several more profane words before hanging up again. Im not sure whats happening here but never will I set foot in this establishment.

Review β„–64

It was really a bad experience yesterday. So the story started like this. We called them and confirmed that there is no waiting list, but as we have been there there is big queue and we are supposed to wait for 30 mins. After 45 mins they assigned two lanes and in the middle of the game there is a problem for which we need service. After requesting for service for 5 times, we were moved to two other lanes after 30 mins. As we started playing in those new lanes, all of a sudden there is another technical issue, that the lane is playing by itself and making all the balls as dot balls. Again they moved us to another lane after 15 mins waiting.And finally when we are paying, the person near counter has charged us one more game extra and as we asked about that, he got totally frustrated. We can understand his situation because we cant see anyone working over there other than him.Management is not good. Out of all of this, one main problem is you cant find any ball less than 10.Ufffff.. I dont dare to go back to this Fun gaming place.
