Brunswick Zone

I enjoy bowling in Deptford and they have a decent bar and fast food service counter.  Compared this place to any other area bowling alley in every category, and this one will push if not win. They have the adequate number of lanes and service persons, modern equipment, and fair pricing.

For the other reviewer to call this alley "stuck in the 70s" is a blatant misnomer.  Maybe it is not the most glamorous bowling alley ever but it certainly is modern enough AND the prices are reasonable for families. Their leagues are thriving and competitive.  Even their $10 Friday night for two hours ($15 for 3 hr) laser bowling is a great special that costs more at most other area bowling alleys during such a peak period.  

Only complaint: their TV at the lanes service often shows hockey or basketball above where you are bowling, but the TV's are not the proper dimension to be showing anything that requires picture quality, such as movement of a skater with the puck, or a dribbler with the ball.  I imagine you can just about make out the score and who is winning based on what color their jerseys are supposed to be, and whether the number is crooked or straight. Most bowling alleys don't have this TV at your disposal, and this is one of the earlier bowling centers to try it.  It was a good concept they had but it doesn't really work on this level.

Brunswick Zone Deptford is an okay bowling alley-nothing special.  With so many bowling alleys becoming hip and cool, this place hasn't.  The alley hasn't been updated since the 70s.  Fine if you're just coming to bowl but not if you're looking for "atmosphere."

Avoid the food though. It's nothing special and fairly pricey.  A small pizza will be about $6 and tastes worse than something you would microwave.  The day we went my group waited about 30 minutes for the fast food service counter person to hand over a microwave pizza and two under-cooked still cold chicken sandwiches.  Of course she added coughing and sneezing over the food to top off the half hour wait.  Appetite gone...
