AMF Riviera Lanes - OH

I'm not an avid bowler, but I can tell that this place is slipping a bit.

I've been to this establishment primarily for children's parties my now 7 year old has been invited to. Kids love it. They bowl with retractable bumpers, drop bowling balls, eat pizza and get sugared up to go home to their parents. All in a tidy, two hour package.

The last visit I had here, however, it was clear that some of the machines were not operating as well as they could be. That weird "you forgot to clean up the pins" button had to be pressed nearly every other toss on the lane my son was on, for instance.

Despite the failing health of the structure and maybe machinery, this place was hopping! For an early Saturday evening in April, it was packed. The music was cranking the the oil at the concession stand was being used to its fulles potential.

So....if you don't mind sharing shoes with 6,000 other folks in your city that wear a 10, you like (or are interested in) bowling/fried food/popular music from a neon-encrusted jukebox, you should check this place out!
