Nice staff, let us place a couple minutes past close to finish up our game. Vintage vibes. The place next door is pretty grim looking so dont go in there accidentally.

Could not recommend Plaza Bowling Co enough! Hosted an event here with a university student group and it was phenomenal, thanks to the incredibly kind, organized, and enthusiastic staff! Everything ran super smoothly - from checking in 100+ people, to food + drinks service, to the tournament schedule. Thank you for an amazing night, Plaza Bowling!
