One spot for everyone! Whole family. Without limitations incl. rolling with wheels (wheelchair access), special needs, one quarter one token one good time! One place with everything for everyone. Awesome, staff. They may make it all look easy, with talent and dedication and a lot of work! Food so good and healthy you feel good after it fills you up! State of the art bowling BTW. Two huge projector Screens width of the bowling alley, so you can really root with the Hawkeyes! LETS GO HAWKS!!! We got at an advantage if they think we're still sleeping! Best arcade & pinball with top historic top games! More than meets the eye Arcade - Multi-ROM cabinets (more than one Arcade Game in the same Arcade console!) Pinball tournaments! Two floors! Bowling lanes open with Breakfast arcade pinball darts and more all day, Open till 11 p.m.!
The video arcade and Skee-ball games are good and reasonably priced, but the bowling is poor quality and very expensive ($40 per hour!).

Overall, ok place for the first time for our family of four; however, we saw many flaws! Every 5 star review that states the place is clean must be very old, since that was not the case on Sunday 2/5/2023. Many of the tables were dirty with visible drink rings, left over glasses, plates, dirt and crumbs all over on the first floor. They took our name and phone number to call/text us by 2 pm for a lane (we came in at 1:30), but that never happened until I finally went back to the desk and asked by 2:20. The young man apologized and told me that he totally forgot to enter our name into their software as it was frozen when we came in, but finally set us upstairs. Upstairs was very messy and unclean, not sure if there was a huge party upstairs the night before or earlier but almost every table was covered with dirty dishes, glasses, and leftover pizza crusts and bones from wings! This is witnessed by us while we watched almost every employee spend most of their time on their phone (FYI, looks really bad to customers) the whole time rather than clean and help each other out with upkeep. We spent almost $150 and it was worth seeing our 5 and 9 years old having fun, but as an adult who is a business owner I was very turned off with the lack of management and up keep. The place is not very old but there are visible damages on the walls, ceilings and furniture and I feel like if they don’t keep up with it, it can be really bad very soon! Food was ok, as our wings were cold and soggy and also came with 4 very old looking dried up carrots, but tenders, onion rings and pizza were ok (chicken tenders and onion rings were the best and only things finished all the way). I didn’t wish to deduct more stars for all of mentioned above for this review but many improvements can be made to make this place a Jem! Updating my review and stars: We are currently here and been here for more than 1 hour. Staff has been very responsive and kind. They have also remained off their phones! Place is pretty busy, but they are keeping up with cleaning of tables and dishes! Thank you for listening to your customers! Please have someone check the building bathrooms every hour as mens have been covered with paper towels and wet floors both times we have been here! Overall, we had a great experience!!!! Changing my review because your entire team of staff is on their freaking phones and texting and I have to stand for minutes to be helped! Btw 2 these people are the same people from my first review! If this was my business, it would be unacceptable and they would be let go! There are at least 30 customers in this facility at this exact time. I wonder what they all think of this constant texting and phone usage????

No priority for reservations, ball return is buggy and chews up the balls, don’t risk bowling with your own ball if you care about it. A minimum of ten minutes of your experience will be asking for help from a lane or ball return malfunction. Do not recommend unless you’re not serious about bowling or are blackout drunk.

Second time checking this place out. Good family fun and the bar style food is sufficient for the younger ones.
It's wonderful to have a bowling alley/arcade in the downtown area. SpareMe is a wonderful addition to the atmosphere in the Chauncey building. Stop by for a quick bite, a few frames of bowling and maybe some Skee Ball before you catch a film over at Film Scene next door.
