I researched TBC on Tripadvisor but forgot to check for open bowling. I figured Tuesday evening might be okay but I was wrong. There were leagues so I had to go elsewhere. However what I saw of the place seemed nice, Everything was clean and brightly lit. The gentleman at the desk was pleasant even though busy. We will come back (after we check first).
I like this unpretentious bowling alley, which I go to with my nephew when visiting Buffalo. Even if you have to wait for an alley, like we did on a Sunday morning, it doesn't take too long. Friendly, busy, generally nice other bowlers, and just a nice place to go.
Lots of lanes, clean and cheap beer. Bubble hockey and pool table. They have a restaurant, but I never tried the food.
The lanes are constantly down and you need to wait for the tech to repair them. Took forever to bowl 3 games! there has to be a better place in Tonawanda to bowl!
The people at Tonawanda Bowling Center were great and help our team to have a great night of team bonding after playing softball all day.
