This bowling alley is both over priced and the worst I've ever been to. The lanes are poorly kept and the machinery doesn't work. The pin setters do not work and knock down 3-4 pins every frame. If you enjoy bowling this is the worst place you can spend your time. We used multiple lanes and every one was worse than the last. For the price the pin setters should at least work.

I visited Strike & Spare on a Wednesday night for a corporate event for my TN team. The staff was super pleasant upon arrival and made sure we had everything we needed for our bowling event. We had so much fun that we ended up extending our 2-hour event.
We were surprised by how many activities they have in their facilities and can't wait to return to try out the last tag, bumper cars, and timer skating!
On top of the activities, we were impressed by the variety of drinks offered at the bar and the quality of food. I'm often left unimpressed by bowling alley bar food, but Strike

Very disappointing that ALL food and beverage options (except a vending machine) stopped over 2 hours before close. Upon knowing this, we tried to get a refund before we began to bowl so we could leave and go elsewhere but only vouchers to return were offered. The music was good, but there were 2 lanes of bowlers without bowling shoes on (Nike, Crocs, Vans, etc.), the run-up floor areas made bowling shoes sticky, and the staff was unpleasant.

This family fun center is clean and has good presentation. From what I understand this is the old Sears anchor store at Stones River Mall. The place is well staffed and the employees are relaxed and helpful. I went with a group of over 15 people and they accommodated us efficiently without any major hurdles. We took advantage of the $13.95 arm band rate offered during the week for unlimited attractions. The attractions are clean and the main floor is spacious. Signs and logos appear to be airbrushed and hand painted on the walls, which is attention to detail not seen much anymore.

I avoid newly opened businesses because I want to give them time to fully train their people, work out kinks in their operations and overall let them get their feet on the ground, so to speak. I was excited to see the relocation and subsequent opening of Strike and Spare and looked forward to our visit.
The facilities are modern and new (of course!}. The couches, comfortable, and the temperature, also comfortable. We enjoyed our visit, much better than my previous visit many moons ago in the old location.
However, it seems mechanical glitches still need to be ironed out in the pin handling machinery

Decided to stop here and eat before a movie. Took over 45 minutes for a burger and a patty melt. It was absolutely FREEZING inside. Tables were dirty so I asked for a bottle of cleaner to wipe one off. Three employees were just standing at the register chatting. They said they would send someone. After 5 minutes, someone came out and slammed napkin dispensers around while angrily wiping off the table--just one table! They left all the rest dirty! There are signs up saying they are doing lots of extra cleaning and sanitizing. We ended up being here over an hour and the only thing EVER cleaned was

We compared Lanes Trains and Automobiles to Strikes and Spares the next day. It is the new bowling alley who moved from the Broad street area to the old Sears building in the mall. It was no compare. Half the people there had no mask, the workers had their mask down over their nose. They put people next to you so it was easy to get balls mixed up and rarely did I see them wiping balls down. I brought my own Clorox wipes. We will not be going back I believe the name was STRIKES and SPARES. They were very unprofessional and they are not abiding by safety to keep their staff safe or customers

This is where i normally come bowling just because they have discounts and specials pretty often and aren't as busy as the other bowling alleys in the area. It's old so it's really not fancy but it gets the job done. The staff is always very friendly and the food and drinks get made fresh which is a plus. We came today and had no wait getting a lane, but the first lane we were assigned to kept messing up so they put us on a different lane which also messed up a few times and had to be reset.

I love this place! I am on my Middle school bowling team and we practice here every Thursday and is a lot of fun. The guy who works the pro shop (Mike) is very nice, educated, and efficient. Everyone there is very nice. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because the lanes can be kinda slow, but other than that it is an amazing place. You should really go hear.

Got here for the first time during NFL playoffs season, so my first impression was a great one. They had giant projectors displaying the game. (I didn't really care about either team, but it was still cool.) They have things called "Summer Passes" for people who bowl a LOT!
I started going here about every day and it is almost completely empty every time. I honestly won't be surprised if it goes out of business, but I may just arrive at the wrong times.
Hey have an arcade, which is incredible. I haven't been, but the games look fun. They also sell food, but it's

I'm all for old school but they have some serious technical issues. We had to re-rack after every strike, had pins down that caused us to have to re-rack, and our ball got stuck a couple of times. We also watched an employee make some questionable choices when handling food. The supervisor is really nice but we probably won't come back to this location.

This place is awesome every time we go. They may have older lanes but they are way more accommodating than the new bowling alley. The staff is always kind and the manager Phillip is awesome. We went to lanes and trains and they quoted us 25$ for an hour and were only opened till ten. People bowl at night not during the day so what's the point of closing at ten. Oh ya and they only charged us 5 dollars all you can bowl for the whole night.

On Tuesdays from 9pm-2am you can get shoes and unlimited bowling for around $5 a person! Great deal.
The only thing that wasn't so great was that during the trivia questions the host was a bit racist, not surprising given that this is Tennessee but still unpleasant. As with most places around here, they treat you better if you're white.

Not the most technologically advanced or modern place, but still a great time! You can sign up for email coupons that will give you 2 free games for a child. (Ask at the counter.)
Also, if you need to use the lane "bumpers", they will automatically go down for the next players turn!
Maybe that's common knowledge, but I never knew! Haha
Don't bother trying the food here. It's frozen food from a sisco truck.
