Buckeye Lanes

We asked for two games and paid for it. When it got to the time to play the second game, turns out we had only paid for one and shoe rental fees. I was not explained this, and when I asked for a receipt that would explain the costs, I was denied one. We then paid for a second game.
I was very upset that we were denied a receipt because I wanted to know what I was paying for. When I went and asked for it, the lady at the counter was very rude and instead of explaining it to me, started yelling.
The bowling was very fun, but the way we were treated was not, and we will not be going back.

THE POSITIVES:
Descent atmosphere, eclectic aesthetics (60’s-70’s lanes with neon confetti carpet straight from 1993), family friendly atmosphere. Friendly staff, great service! Descent beer selection for an acceptable price! Affordable, we bowled with 3 other couples and had 2 lanes. It was $ 21 for my husband and I, that included the lane fee, shoe and bowling ball rentals, for 2 hours and 2 games. We started at 10pm and shut the place down at 2am and played 3 or 4 games with no extra cost for the extra games/​hours.
WHY I HAD TO KNOCKOFF 2 STARS:
Doesn’t organize bowling balls by weight. Many of the bowling balls did not have the weight listed on it. NOT A LOT OF COLOR OPTIONS!!! This a crucial component for amateur bowlers like myself and will affect my overall performance, as well as my enjoyment of the game!
Shoes were VERY clean and newish but, still had that retro bowler shoe look. Hilariously written across the side of the shoe is «DO NOT STEAL» in silver Sharpie. Who’s great idea was that? ;)
We bowled on a Saturday night and started at 10pm and there was no music playing at all, not even jukebox music! Just the sounds of the tumbling pins and awkward hormonal teenagers on a group date (you’d think overhearing those conversation would at least be entertaining!) Cosmic Rockin’ Bowl did not start until midnight. This is late for a bunch of nerdy 30-​somethings. There was nothing Cosmic or Rockin’ about it, no glow in the dark pins or bowling balls. Just some cool lighting that I think everyone will enjoy, except epileptics. The music was weak, mostly just popular non-​top 40 hits from people I have never seen or heard of. Sorry but, my deaf grandma could come up with a better playlist.
OVERALL:
This is a nice, clean, safe, family friendly bowling alley. It’s great for families and dropping off the tweens/​teens to bowl.

FUN!!! But the drink prices are a little high. There’s no way that someone should pay more for a cocktail at a bowling alley than they would Downtown CLE.
Overpriced for a bowling alley.

Terrible service. Lanes don’t work.

Open bowling from 9−12am was really fun on a Saturday, not too crowded and it wasn’t filled with little kids or anything. I used a North Olmsted coupon book to buy three games get three free, and although it was really fun, it goes by so quick. Three games was only a little over an hour. The staff was super patient and really friendly. Not a bad place overall
