  This review is for the bar, not the bowling alley.
  
  This place has a lot going for it.  It's non smoking, which is a HUGE plus for me in a bar.  They have live entertainment on the weekends, featuring local bands and every other month or so they have a live comedy show, which is always VERY well attended and a bargain for a 2 buck cover.  This show features some local/regional talent and often a nationally touring comedian.
  
  The food is....adequate.  It's not great, but it's not bad.  Pretty typical bar food...burgers, nachos, pizza, and the like.
  
  The staff is great!!  Always friendly and prompt, even when they're slammed on night that entertainment is going on.  Kudos to them for such a great staff.
  
  I don't know much about what other options Crawfordsville has to offer, but I really like this one. :)  I've been here several times and I'll certainly be back.

  From a former locals perspective, this bowling alley is ok. They arent anything too special but they try. Games are pretty cheap, and they keep the place clean. They also used to have a laser tag arena which im sure is still there for the younger crowd, as well as an arcade area. The bar is ok if youre looking for a drink while you bowl. Not the best prices locally but they are ok. They also open the bar up as a music venue for local artists on the weekends sometimes which they charge a cover. If youre stuck in Crawfordsville it is something to do.

  Clean and smoke free in the alley part, they do have a bar that opens later in the day.  They serve typical bowling alley fare that is similar to carnival food.  The bowling balls were beat up, but the lanes were pristine.  The pin setter and ball return was the quickest I've ever seen and made for a fast frame... easy to keep your momentum going when u got on a roll (literally, ha!)  The people were friendly and laid back and kept to themselves although I think our lack of bowling etiquette may have gotten on their nerves.  They were not rude, but I wouldn't pick a fight with the burly women, much less the guys.  This place would make for hilarious people watching while getting slizzard, but I don't plan to catch myself drunk in Crawfordsville anytime soon... but, eh, u neva know.
  
  BTW: One warning is beware the hideously underlit bathrooms.  They seem to be underlit for be very reason that they are hideously disgusting.  U have been warned!
