The bowling was great but we went to play a game of pool and only 1 out of the 3 tables were working. When we tried to put a dollar in to play it was jamming and wouldn't take our dollar. We informed the employee about the problem and he just said "there's nothing I can do". Then a bunch of kids used a pool cue to slam the money in it get it to work for themselves. Then we tried to play the 'Big Buck Hunting' game and it didn't work and took our money and the employee said there were no refunds on the arcade games.
Cons: It’s very dated! It needs an upgrade but the pros outweigh this con.
My family and I go to village lanes at least once a week and love it. We have tried other lanes in the area and this is out favorite. We drive 25 minutes from north Raleigh because we like Village Lanes so much. Fantastic staff and great prices for food and beer at a much better than average snack bar. $1.50 games all day Wednesdays. The lanes are also very well taken care of if you are more than just a casual bowler and care about that sort of thing. The scoring system is a little old but it works as it should. Bottom line is this place is the all around best by far for bowling in the Raleigh/Durham Area. Value, staff, and lanes are top notch. Try this place if you typically go to an AMF/Brunswick type chain. Haven't tried the pro shop services yet but the guy seems pretty busy so I'd imagine they do a good job. Only thing I'd say to them is keep up the good work and maybe get a loyalty program going for people who are unable to commit to a league schedule.
Pros: There are plenty of lanes, nice atmosphere, decent food and lots of bowling specials like $1.50 games on Wednesdays.
I absolutely love this place. The prices are unbeatable. There are always so many families and bowling teams enjoying the game. A Durham highlight.
Family oriented and awesome family fun! Super nice people willing to help and great food!
