Gladstone Bowl

Thanks for responding Vicky at least somebody cares I grew up in this bowling alley, my parents bowled there for 30 years. I was really disappointed when I came in the last three times, both of your bartenders are horrible. I would fire them or at least give them a talking to, the older lady and the middle aged guy kind of balding man. I’m not the only person that thinks so. my friends were going to your bowling alley and I warned them, I said the bartenders are rude. they came back from their experience and they couldn’t believe how right I was. I’m just saying if you want Gladstone bowl to be a nice place for people when they bring their families your bartenders need to go. Their cleaning skills are probably about as good as their people skills are thanks again for responding.

Bald guy at front is a jerk. We called at 5:00 to ask if we needed to reserve lanes for galactic bowling, he said «nope first come first serve!» And immediately hung up. So we bring our kids up at 8:30 to get a spot and it’s sold out, mind you there’s about 10 people total in the whole place. So we ask how early we need to get here to reserve a lane? The same guy rudely says you can come in anytime to pay for a lane, I don’t have time to reserve them over the phone!
??? Okay thanks for being rude.
So we called AMF off Vivian, super friendly on the phone, and explained how it works plus we have a lane reserved so we are going to AMF!
Thanks Northland bowl for being A HOLES

I haven’t been bowling in forever, so I decided to surprise the husband with a bowling date. I had googled bowling alleys and it took me to the Gladstone Bowl website which has a ton of awesome deals listed. $ 2.50 shoes all day on Sunday and $ 1.00 games before noon! Sold! Games after noon on Sunday are only $ 2.75, so still a pretty solid deal. I was impressed with the building as well (granted bowling alleys have the bar set very low). Everything was clean, the bathrooms have lockers and are in good shape and we didn’t have a single mechanical malfunction during our 3 games (doesn’t it seem like something ALWAYS gets stuck?). We also got sodas and mini-​funnel cakes from the snack bar and they were well-​priced and DELICIOUS. Definitely equally to what you would get at a carnival, but without having to stand outside in the sun all day. They are small, however, so I wouldn’t recommend sharing yours :)
Anyway, great time at Gladstone Bowl! Clean, friendly and fun. A great escape on a hot Sunday for cheap!

Few people if any would think that a bowling alley would have good food. Well, Gladstone Bowl has some very good food. Nothing fancy. Not the fastest service either. But if you like a good greasy burger and crinkle fries, you will like this place. Good tenderloins and patty melts. HUGE onion rings also. But the best of the best, is the tacos. Still making and serving them the same way I remember when I first went there with my folks over 40 years ago. Yum!

Visited here for the first time recently (thanks to a Groupon), and I gotta say — I’m impressed. And I’m not even a regular bowler.
I called in to make my lane reservation, and the desk folk were insanely polite.
Walked into the place, and you can just tell it has a lot of heart and soul behind it. Groupon says it’s been around for 50 years; I’d believe it, because the folks running the place during my visit cared a lot about the place. I was sold when I picked up a soda and one of the desk guys (who just happened to walk by) suggested I check it first because he just changed the tank. That’s paying attention to your customers.
Galactic Bowling on weekend nights is $ 15/​person (including shoes), for unlimited 2 hours of bowling. We bowled 4 games and probably could have gotten in a 5^th if we weren’t Tweeting and Facebooking so much. Plus, the drinks are dirt cheap — sodas were less than $ 2, and the nightly alcoholic drink special of a mudslide was less than $ 4.
This isn’t your polished Lucky Strike or mega-​plex bowling alley — and that’s a good thing.
