I bowl in a league at this place. It is a basic bowling center where they have a bar and a small selection of food options if the kitchen is open. The staff is nice once you get to know them, and will work with you if you are having an issue with your lanes. Some people complain that it is not a BYOB bowling alley, but they have a liquor license, so they can't let people bring outside food or drinks in. Just make sure that in the Spring and Summer that the AC is on because it can get hot in there very quickly. The center is a bit on the small side with only 16 lanes, but if you are looking for a good time, it will do.

I bowl here regularly in my social life. And weekly in a league. Overall I enjoy the place. But being in a league it's frustrating there are no drink specials or food specials. My entire team alone is half of the bar tab on a Tuesday night. Any league in any other bowling alley has specials or is able to BYO. The food is meh at best. And again the prices are a bit high. The lanes constantly break. But the staff is more then willing to attempt to fix them. The staff is most of the time fun. The service is what to be expected. Music when I'm there not on league nights, we shouldn't have to pay just for background noise. I understand paying for the exact song we want. But how about a little bit of music just to keep things rolling. I still will bowl here often for convenience But as far as s league is concerned I may be switching elsewhere.

I haven' been here in a long time, I always brought my son over when he was young his dad and I are divorced so when he would come over every other weekend I would take him here to bowl and play games. He also was invited to many birthday Parties at Playhouse. He is now 26 years old, I have not gone bowling for awhile and Playhouse lanes was amazing back in the day. I am sure there are plenty of changes in side.

Not sure why this place has terrible reviews. My boyfriend and I randomly decided to a go bowling on a Sunday night a couple weeks ago. We first went to Sproul Lanes because we had just had ate dinner nearby. Sproul had a 25 minute wait. So, we decided to try Wynnewood lanes which is closer to our house anyway. We got there and there was a paper posted on the door that said no open lanes until 8. So we were thinking we just weren't meant to go bowling lol. But, then I vaguely remembered there being a place in Drexel Hill so we looked up Playhouse Lanes and drove over there. We were able to get a lane right away. The employees were teenagers like other reviewers mentioned, but they were friendly and helpful. We rented a lane for an hour which was only $15 for everything, which I thought was more than reasonable. It was just the two of us so we were able to get a decent number of games in within the hour. They also had glow bowling going on so that was cool. We didn't have anything food or drink so I can't comment on that. But, I really had no complaints. We had a lot of fun and would definitely come here if we want to go bowling again.

They certainly have updated the interior of the bowling alley. The computers and new TVs are very nice and extremely easy to use. However, there were many problems with the mechanics of the lane we used. Myself and 2 friends bowled 5 games tonight, and it seemed every few frames a newly set up rack had a pin fall down. Also,we had a many scoring errors in each game. mostly miscounts of spare numbers. Our overall experience was pretty good, we never had to call staff for any assistance and the ambiance was very nice. I do with their systems would show you what spares you had so if there was a hidden pin left, you knew abut it. The animations were nice, but not helpful or informative. But since the last time I was here, its is a far far better place to bowl than it was prior.

I went here yesterday with my boyfriend neither of us having bowled in years so we were so excited! We get there and the 12 year old boy working tells us it's a 20 minute wait for a lane. So we wait. We finally grab a beer after the bartender comes back from wherever he was and wait some more. Finally a lane opens and we decide to buy an hour, $30. In the first our first game, my turn, I bowled and to no surprise I knock 1 pin down. I wait for the pins to be picked up and put back down which they where, then the bar comes back down again so as I'm bowling the ball hits the bar. My boyfriend tells me to pay attention and I apologize thinking it was probably my fault somehow. Then the family next to us, it happens to them. Then in our third game it happens to my boyfriend. I tell him there's definitely something up with the equipment and not 1 min later a grown man who's been staring at us the entire time comes over and basically scolds us in front of EVERYONE, telling us this is a warning if it happens again were getting kicked out. I was so livid after that I just wanted to leave. He could have pulled us to the side and explained the situation instead of being a big jerk in front of everybody making us feel stupid. This place sucks, the staff is unwelcoming and rude.

I bowl for the first time there a few weeks ago and had a wonderful time. It was not too crowded for a Friday night and we all had a wonderful time. There was no wait and the lane was available as soon as our party was there. The prices were right on point. Staff was awesome and provided clear instructions on what to do when 9pm hit. We will definitely be back.

Worse service ever. We paid for our time to play here and.the lane they give us was the worse. They kept having problems and we just kept going to the counter to tell to fix it but all they did was temporary stuff in the back. Eventually the problems like the pins not resetting to the pin clearing thingy not going up. Their lanes are so terrible. They wouldn't even give us extra time for the problems. What a waste of money. Balls are dented and technologies used were outdated. Staff wasn't as nice either

I'm surprised this place is still open. The place is ran down, the lanes are always jamming or the computer doesn't register the points correctly and the staff is rude. Avoid this place if you can. I was very diappointed with how the owner spoke to my nephew. I didn't found out until after we left. When my nephew returned from asking the owner a question about the score board, he told me he was done bowling and wanted to leave. I didn't think any thing of it and the following week when I asked him if he wanted to go back he told me no and told me why. Never Again!

Reasonably priced, fun place to bowl.

I had such high hopes for this place as it is close to where I live and exactly the type of bowling alley I love. But Nafeesa hit the nail on the head. If an owner of this place is reading these reviews do yourself a big favor and fire every employee currently working there and start over. We walk in with a group of six and walk up to an empty front counter. We stand around for a couple of minutes before someone finally walks over to help us. The kid(I say kid because he was a kid, hoodie pulled up, head phones around his neck) walks up to us and just stares blankly at all of us.......mmmk. So can we bowl? He painstakingly punches some stuff into the computer and groans and moans as he gathers our rental shoes as if we are burdening him. We get set up on our lanes and I head over to the bar with my friend to grab a beer. The bar tender(I guess he was the bartender) is sitting in the corner with his headphones on, staring at his iPad. Again we stand there for a minute before he glances at us and back at his screen. He finally hits pause and walks over and stares at us blankly. Again, the feel of not being wanted flooded over me. "Yea?" he says to us. Well sir, I was really interested in discussing the difference between oil based paint and latex paint with you.....I WANT A DAMN BEER! Why the hell else would I be standing at the bar with money in hand? I don't know what it is about the employees here but they clearly don't want to be there and they make that known. We bowl a few games without incident and( other then all the employees just sitting around and staring blankly. Weird) finish up, get our shoes back on and head back to return our rental shoes. Again no one is at the desk for assistance. We drop our shoes on the counter and head out for the night....I don't get businesses that employ people who have to drive to help others. The purpose of an establishment like this is to provide a fun, inviting atmosphere to it's patrons. This place did the exact opposite. I can deal with crappy food, or broken machines or a bit of dirt and grime, that adds charm! But when a staff makes you feel as uninvited as these people did you will most likely never return. I myself will not be returning. This place would have been a great find had it not been for the unfriendly, uninterested staff. Boo what a waste.
