The only thing I can say is why have a club night on a friday... makes no sense... Tuesday Wednesday... I get it when it would be a slow night.. but friday and I can't bowl.... the pool tables are ok games are not great beer is way over priced.... 4 stars cause it's local but maybe make it so it's not a friends only thing.... more people would enjoy if they weren't being closed off on there night off.

Incredible spot. Chill and easy going staff and clean and simple facilities. Just a classic candlepin Bowling alley

This place is a hidden gem of sorts. My 5 stars takes price-point and simplicity into account. The alleys are well kept and “classic”. Nothing fancy - you have to push a button to reset the pins and keep score on a sheet of paper. Staff was very friendly and good with kids of different ages. Facilities were clean too. They also had billiards and a few arcade machines. The beer menu was actually very good, and those were reasonably priced too. They also had an app you could download (free) to help control the music. Overall it was a sweet find in a sort-of “off the beaten path” kind of way. We will be going back and spreading the word!

We had such a good time at spare time recreation! Mark , the owner was amazing and attentive to us! We stayed until 12:30 AM eating amazing food from the neighborhood kitchen and drinking beers while bowling and playing games. You also can’t beat the prices here!! I definitely recommend to anyone all ages!!
PS. You get 5% off food and 5% off bowling if ordered together!!

This was a cool, rustic candlepin bowling alley. The lanes are in great shape. There are a good selection of arcade games for the kids. While I didn't use them at the time, it was great to see they have pool tables. The food was great and a good selection of beverages.

Nice and clean. Very few people, came to play 8ball pool and the table that we played was good. 2nd Blue table from right.

Every small town needs a local bowling alley like Sparetime Recreation. I have enjoyed bowling at Sparetime for over 12 years, but it has greatly improved since I first started coming here. The friendly new owners have really turned this place around by bringing back billiard tables, video games and new entertainment. If you haven’t been here in a while, check them out. During my most recent visit, my kids and I went in for some bowling, also took in a game of pool and some of the arcade games. Video games included racing games, Pac-Man, Munsters and Star Wars pinball machines and a Jurassic Park game. Like a local bowling alley should be. Great family fun. Highly recommended if you are looking for something to do that is close by and that is affordable.

They also have 4 billiard tables, darts and much more. All video games are $1.00 and some .50 cents… a game of pool for $1.00. Sparetime also hosts stand-up comedy shows once a month, they also serve beer and wine. A local entertainment gem, continuing with that small hometown feel, located right downtown. Check them out if you are looking for something to do or haven’t been there in a while.

Great atmosphere. Very clean. There is adequate on site parking and there is also street parking. There are at least two food establishments right next door.

Too many nice things to say... the owner is amazing, he's so flexible and fun and nice! His employees are awesome ppl. The restaurant they own next door is DELICIOUS. We are throwing a bimonthly music event there, and he was so flexible and easy to work with. We can't wait to come back! Beautiful facility, all the games, clean, decorated with lots of lights, it's just an awesome spot!
