Ocean county has lost a TON of bowling allies in the past few decades but THANK GOD this wasn't one of them!! My favorite bowling alley in Ocean county. It has just the right balance. State of the art enough with synthetic lanes and modern scoring, without all the sleazy, manufactured boutique feel (used as an excuse to over-charge) typical of Bowlero lanes. Building does need some TLC here and there, though. Kathy, the lady with short hair and glasses, is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
