Best Bowling Alley Independence Near Me

DAVID TORRENTT: They have many cool things to do here.

Leanna Archeron: terrible lanes and terrible service

Carl Johnson: Nice clean place with friendly staff.

Moana Faana: Wonderful time eating and bowling

Lesley Siegfried: Had a bowling outing with my office and they did a good job taking care of us. We stayed to eat. The food was great! They had a large group that came in afterwards but I’m looking forward to coming back!

Andrea Combs: Had a great time small nice place.

Judy B: We had a work party today. Lots of fun great nachos and cheese burger

F C: This place is just don't make sense whatsoever. How could you ever get a good customer base coming with these kind of hours?

Jack Patrick: Awesome small bowling ally and billiards place. Rather cheap and a great place to hang out with friends.

Audrey Moore: This ends up being a go to spot when I can convince my ❤️ to hang out in my neck of KC, because it's close it's open last 8 (usually) and they have all the weekend essentials: food, booze and entertainment. I'm leaving this review in particular because we stopped in super bowl Sunday (2/13/22) and Cami the manager (sorry if spelling is wrong)was the sole employee working for the entirety of the time I was there (I think there was someone in the kitchen but they must not have been qualified or able to help with anything else because I don't even know what they looked like) She was super friendly, efficient and transparent about the situation with every one that came in. I personally witnessed her dismantling a ball return to unjam the works and saw her sprinting to behind the lanes to fix other issues, all the while still crafting super bowl cocktails and refilling sodas AND checking on guests in the billiards room. I really hope that's she being paid for ALL the jobs she was fulfilling yesterday which was a minimum of at least 4 by my count. If she's not..... well. Cami, all the world is hiring and you, my badass lady, you deserve to be a valued and cherished member of a team that appreciates you. (and I may know of a good place that thrives on hustle and will be needing additions soon, see if lake lotawana is a doable drive 😉)

Gabrionne Jackson: Came to bowl at 8 on a Saturday night and they were closed

Cindy Moore: Love shooting 🎱 and playing the juke box. It always feels like home and the staff are like family❤

casey Cooper: Broken lanes

Carla Scheidegger: They made space for our party of 7. Older, smaller bowling alley but very cozy as they had couches to sit on. We had alot of fun and the appetizers were excellent. Highly recommend you try this out.

Heidi Craft: It is a wonderful place. We had a fun family birthday...for all ages. Great staff! We will be back.

Derien’s Channel: Good time and great people. Place is kept very clean.

Kristin Evans: This place is amazing! We have come several times. Three times was us and our 16-year-old boys and then two were birthdays and us celebrating with close family and one was a huge event where we invited everyone for one of my fiance's big birthday. They have things for kids, an arcade, the little dinosaur things for the smaller kids to bowl on and then they're great for adult parties, especially with the cocktails as well. We had about 20 people and they easily took care of us and we had a great time. They let you reserve lanes and even have party rooms you can reserve in the back. We got to bring cupcakes and a few decorations for one of the birthdays that was the larger party. It is extremely reasonable on prices. We were even able to order appetizers and food. Great staff and great little find, we love it here!

Nick Moretina: Nice billiard room expansion. Nice atmosphere, upscale feel pool hall and antique bowling alley.

Alyssa Oliver: The worst lanes I've ever bowled on in my life I had to ask for a refund. Was going to order the $10 loaded fries, but since it was a slow day they won't make my family anything that required more than the fryer. Poopy place, and there's only 8 lanes

Joseph Weakley: Great place to go and hang out I just wish if they told me they were open till 12:00 that they were saying I could bowl till 12:00 instead of saying that it was some Christmas party for Cafe Verona otherwise me and my friends had a really great time and I think we will be coming back

Gigi Woodman: Pretty much every video game we played was poorly calibrated.Any shooting games, from rifle types, to jurassic park to ,you name it, didn't aim very well at all. A lot of the controllers were broken ,some really badly ,obviously broken. U already put ur money in by time u can tell it's broken or doesn't work properly.To me this equals a rip off.They have a lot of staff hanging around, but not so much walking the floors to see what's going on.We've gone to other arcades and not had this experience of the machines being so ill calibrated that it was hard to aim. Played games we usually play at the other places, but it just felt like a rip off. And none of us could score the type of scores we typically would. Nope won't go back!

John F: Main event Independence is a fun place to go if you are looking for some variety of activities, such as bowling, arcade games, laser tag, billiards, and karaoke. The place is clean, spacious, and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food and drinks are decent, but nothing to write home about. The only downside is that the prices are a little high, especially for the arcade games and laser tag. You can save some money by going during the weekday specials or using coupons. I think this place is more suitable for adults or older kids who can enjoy the games and entertainment. I would not recommend it for families with young children, as the area is not very safe or kid-friendly. There are not many attractions or activities for toddlers or preschoolers, and the place can get loud and crowded at night. I would give main event Independence a 4 out of 5 stars for a fun night out with friends or coworkers.

Andrea Allen: Great atmosphere for a good time! The biggest problem was the service in the bowling area specifically. We were never checked on by the staff putting in food orders, additionally the same server requested a tip without providing good service or communication. We basically had to chase him down. We also had to go out of our way to ask for water 3 times!The last problem was the staff busting down the table, he hovered over us RIGHT after our hour was up. I find that very rude cosidering they were hardly present the entire time we were bowling.Train your staff better!

Skylar Moon: Good prices on games outrageous prices on alcohol. Update... Prices have went up and service has went down.I stood at the bar for 20 minutes being the only customer while a guy I stood behind the glass window leaning his butt on the food surface just staring at me and would not come serve me. finally when the main manager with the keys in the badge came buy he jumped up and ran to help me then.Don't bother trying to call the place the employees refuse to answer the phone. Just imagine how much money they lose on birthday parties or reservations cuz they just won't answer the phone

Lybbee Ebahotubbi: This place was beautiful but the staff was rude soooo rude. The security guard was not helpful and verbally rude and even made rude remarks. We bought an hour to bowl and the young man was very rude and slammed our shoes down while rolling his eyes definitely won't go back hereService: 1/5|Atmosphere: 2/5 …More

Thomas Carter: My kids love this place. It's a bit expensive though. I think they out priced themselves for prizes at the arcade. I really haven't tried to much of the menu, but the pizza is okay. The food so far is nothing I'd brag about. I will say that the service was friendly and really quick to respond. I found them attentive and it really made the difference for me as far as visiting.

Matthew Maroney: If you follow the cancellation policy, best of luck trying to get a refund. They are unresponsive.Service: 1/5 …More

Christina Jackson: Too many arcade games were broken. Our server was great, I wish I could say the same of the food. They have a bowling alley and escape rooms are under construction. We might go to those at some point. Unimpressed, overall.Food: 2/5|Service: 5/5 …More

Emmy W: Went to go bowling here; I highly recommend reserving your lanes and times as far ahead as you can if you plan to go on a Saturday or Sunday.Very clean tables and alley. The women's bowling shoes looked like they'd gone through a shredder... Larger sizes for the men were fine, but smaller sizes are definitely terrible. Super bad initial impression.The bowling alley bar service was very sparse so we ended up walking to the bar to order which seemed to work quicker.

Ella Brown: Closed @ 12 due to staffing.

Christopher Post: Definitely not a place for parents on a budget, but the staff was friendly and attentive and my kids had a really good timeFood: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 3/5 …More

Jon Olson: I stopped by to get an idea of the layout as I was planning my kids birthday party.AJ was working at the door. He gave me a brief tour, answered all my questions and gave me a few tips to make sure the party goes well. Great customer service!

Michelle Floyd: Pricey....bowling alley would be cheaperService: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Jerri Noble: Good place and reasonable prices for kids birthday parties

Scratch Hellion: Very friendly and lively atmosphere... I enjoy it alot. A nice place to relax.

Karen Vickers: Sterling Bowl is the best place ever to bowl. We are there either on Friday or Saturday. Come and enjoy yourself with your family. Great fun!

Misty Faust: Very disappointed with this bowling alley. We took two of our own balls to play with and both balls were damaged on lane #2. Our balls ended up with gouges in them. Tried to speak with the guy in the ProShop about fixing our balls since they damaged there and he told us they were just balls of plastic. ProShop guy said we could leave the balls there and he would see what he could do to fix them. It was going to cost us to fix them. I will never go back to this place.

Wendy Zahnd: Great little bar 🤗

dalton thomas: Staff was great. Definitely short handed but good family fun.

Nancy King: I love this bowling alley! I live in Kearney Mo, and we drive all the way there to bowl! Thank you so much!!

curtis Sere: Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Good place to bowl.

MISHIA ODELL: Everyone is friendly, I just don't understand why smoking is allowed in the building.

Cory Roberts: Great service, great food, great bar, great lanes & the cheapest place around

R Renfro: Lanes were up and ready for the league's

Samantha Walling: They seem to care more about leagues rather than the general public. Have went several times in the last six months to be turned away and the one time we did get in, they played no music, requested we were quite and even made us move tables/lanes twice, for...you guessed it ..the leagues. Very disappointed. What happened to this place?!

Connie Gentry: The good...... Great prices!! Very nice staff!!! The bad..... lanes often have issues so games are interrupted. Food is decent but if they are busy your group can bowl 1.5 games before getting your food. The ugly......... there is always so much smoke it smells worse than a bar.

Soldi Family: Great place. Good friends and family friendly. Go Jill 😉☺️ YOU the best

MsSusumom: .50 games and shoe rental.

Tay: They have major deals that are economically friendly for families with limited budget. For the amount you pay for food they do not give you good portions.

Anita Stockdall: Sterling Bowl owners and the family that works there are a great bunch. Had my husbands memorial there Jan 14th and could not ask for anything better

kyle carstens: Love it

River Gabbert: Fun.

Clifton Printy: Somethings are just what you'd expect.

Ciara Bush: Clean and staff was Absolutly amazing we had a birthday get together here and it was awesome. Highly recommend

Robert Reiss: Great place to bowl and have adult time but also have things for kids to do.

iyabo Otekunrin: It was a bit expensive. Something fun to do though. Next to an awesome movie theater, so if waiting for a movie, then go and play 1 or 2 games before your movie. A good arm workout while having fun. 😆

Donna Turner: Love bowling here on my Friday night league. The staff are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere just makes you happy to be there. Love the Bartenders!

Beautiful: Prices are overpriced and the arcade is terrible…and the way they treat their employees is disgusting Courtney Should really be ashamed of how she treats them!! To the investors you really should be looking into the women you let run your business!

Caitlin Saucedo: Rented a couple lanes for a birthday party. All staff encountered were pleasant on the phone and in person.

R Renfro: Bowling here for ten pins special, all day long.

Blake Barnett: Overpriced bowling but the arcade is fun. Gaves give actual tickets. 1 game let's you pop a huge balloon.

Eric Bowman: Great place to bowl. Great environment and good company.

cecelia welsh: Great place to bowl or visit the Blue Moon Lounge for some awesome E-Rock karoke 1st and 3rd Friday nights and every Saturday night.

Ed Wood: In need of some serious updating. Arcade is old and not worth it.

Drew Koehler: Great clean bowling alley. You can tell the staff cares about the building and equipment. Very appropriate for all ages.I think this is the best bowling alley in the area.

Tatiana Buitrago: Great atmosphere, clean.

Amy Venable: Had multiple open lanes and told us to wait while they cleaned up a table for us @ 9:45 p.m. then proceeded to start closing an hr early

Gary Montgomery: Good family atmosphere was great for a birthday party for my granddaughter can't wait to go back.

Christopher Curry: It was fun .... But to high in price and they let's few people get to fucc d up

frauelephant: Clean and friendly

William Waggoner: Very nice bowling alley, great sho and great service!

Harriet Rice: The Hour's changed and is not good for the group home I'm working for.

Paula Christman: Doing King and Queen bowling league! What great people I met. Haveing a fun!

John Stewart: Fun family birthday times! Generally clean and reasonable prices!

KC Johnson: Had a amazing time yesterday, the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a agitated group of people though. I do not know who they were but that did throw some objects at the front counter around. At least the staff were able to remove them and let us continue with our great night!

Kailey Scott: Absolutely awful place. Who I'm assuming are the owners, running the front desk are extremely rude and unfriendly. Do not waste your money here. They pepper sprayed other bowlers and a YOUNG child all over a verbal dispute.

Marie Cooper: Had a great time, staff was very helpful.

Boe Bradley: Price is high as a kite, but lanes are good, staffing friendly etc. Can't complain except they do cater to the league bowlers more with discounts. Maybe they should develop some kind of promotional plan, say first hour half price, second hour full price, if you commit to two hours. Also they make you pay in advance, so you can't skip out on them. Can't blame them there! Come on man! Most people want to bowl more than a quick hour though.

Dawn Milton: The food was great and we had a very good time. staff friendly clean place and not to crowded.

Karen Rew: Great place for bowling with the family.

Alpha: Coo spot will be back..

Michael Liimatta: Good fun without breaking the bank!

LaDaija Moore: Love this place

Jennifer Stone: Went there for work it was our holiday party, it nice pizza was good, had good time

Cyprian: Nice place!

Anjanette Hogan: Owners are horrible people. They treat league bowlers poorly. They are rude and disrespectful. This is one of the worst bowling alleys in this area

Randy Eidson: SUCKS!!!!!!

Kim Moody: Nice family bowling spot.

Jessica Diffie: We had a blast here fun thankfully bowling night

Sandy Reynolds: Great atmosphere family friendly

clay collums: Great place to bowl!

Saskia Juba: I love coming here with my family when the weather is bad and we are restricted to indoor activities. They have setups for little kids that include bumper bowl, light balls and little ramps that the kids can push the ball off of, instead of trying to throw it. It is usually pretty crowded. They also have a small arcade as well. We like this place and will be back.

Jennifer McNeece: Always a great time!

Christian Jauregui: 👍👍

Lin Emery: It was clean and the staff were very friendly. Loads of fun.

Ryan Parker: Very friendly! Very clean! Very fun!

Barbara Williams: I use to work in the Nursery here almost 35 years ago and even taught youth bowling. So glad to see this place is still there. Bowled on Friday nights for over 10 years total. Love this town but had to move away for Hubby's work and never got back. So much change.

Dewey Brantley: Awesome bowling center! Friendly and fast service!

renee holt: Great place

Tim Brawley: Good customer service

Rachel Gervy: Amazing small business

Morgan Erickson: 18 years living in Blue Springs and this was our first time here. Such a great place. Can't beat the prices and the lanes are in great shape. Can't believe we waited so long...

R Renfro: good shot Friday

Roberta Joann H: bowling was average here

Paul Branson: AMAZING. If you live in Blue Springs no other place compares to this place. Extremely friendly. So much better for price. Compared to the other 2 bowling places near me this one can save you around $50. Just as good service for the cheaper price. Going here can make you feel relaxed to actually bowl and take your time to get better than to rush you into bowling as fast as possible. Best place!

Dùrl Carlõs: Not too big.... perfect size... serves alcohol

Pamela Fagan: We have our family holiday party here every year. Bill and his staff is wonderful. Quaint and very personable place to bowl. Extremely family friendly. Always clean and good food available. Definitely recommend.PS. Bill is the best person to drill a ball. He's very knowledgeable. Best expert in Kansas City Metro area.

Roy Breen: Always clean. Friendly staff. Good time.

Deborah C (DebsBestLife): Always have fun. Clean, well maintained establishment with friendly staff.

Deb: Good value for time with the grandkids. Good service.
