    Fun experience being in one of only two lanes at the place. No one had booked the other lane (either that or they never showed up), so it was just us two bowling, which was a little strange, but fun. People in the bar would repeatedly come over wondering if they could play in the other lane, but the host turned them away. The atmosphere was very cool yet comfortable. It was definitely on the noisy side due to the crowds at the bar.
