Outdated & falling apart. Maybe time to either remodel/update or close down. Is messed up to charge people to bowl there the way it is...
It was so dirty and staff was a lil off. The only positive thing about this place is the price.
Super hot inside, rude and inattentive staff, horrid restroom conditions, and constant lane breaking.
Nice bowling alley, lots of arcade games, good staff, decent price
Very shady people & parking lot scared us with the ppl hanging around
Great service and friendly environment. Definitely going back .
Service is slow, no handicap access, and not a friendly atmosphere.
No oil on the lanes kitchen seems dirty
The lanes keep messing up and getting my bowling ball stuck
No crowds...but lanes & equipment are old.
Clean, fun and the cosmic bowling is a fun time
It was cold and the kitchen wasnt open
Excellent place to go bowling
Alot different from when I was there last
Nice Shops, needs updated

2016-01-31Do not waste your money here!! Started bowling around 9. Immediately realized the last cone on the lane wasnt working. It would always say it was knocked out even when it wasnt. We didnt think it was a big deal because we were just playing for fun but it started throwing everything off and wouldnt pick up any up the pins we hit. We had paid for 2 game so we figured we would just finish. With about 3 frames left the computer shut down and said if we wanted to play more we had to buy more games. We told a worker because we wanted to finish and he got annoyed and said he would take care of it. We sat for about 10 minutes waiting while a different worker came over and started vaccuming all around us so we gave up. We were annoyed because there was still over an hour until they closed. While we were taking off our shoes the original guy who said hed help us walked by without saying a word. I dont understand what kind of business they run where they dont care about the customer at all or the quality of their gameplay. Go spend your money somewhere else!!!!!

2017-12-26Just so sad.Friday at 9pm the place was empty, but for some reason it still took forever to start bowling. We had a coupon from the local newspaper which completely befuddled the staff who had to first find a manager to help us. We couldnt get three lanes together so we settled for two.The breaker on the ball return on our lanes did not work right, so the balls rocketed up and slammed into each other in front of us. Maybe not coincidentally, there was a notice near the seats saying that management was not responsible for damaged balls that bowlers brought with them.The reset button on one of our lanes was missing, which became a problem when that lane would throw a random fit and reset by itself three or four times.One lane also had a secret automatic spare pin. No matter what other pins were still standing, if the 10 pin was down after the second ball, the frame would always be marked as a spare. How kind of it.The other lane, the one with slightly broken bumpers, had the first few inches on its top covering peeling up. Until now I never had clue that this was how the surface of a lane was laid down. I wish I had taken pictures of this.The lanes didnt seem to be oiled right, if at all. As someone who throws with a significant curve, this was very noticable.I learned to bowl here, came with school, family and friends and even had my after prom here. I loved the slide in the bar (which somehow allows and encourages smoking now) and even took my daughter on it in the past. I hope the high school team no longer comes here because it is a total embarrassment for the city of Barberton!

2018-05-30I didnt use the bowling area. I was there for a show. They have a stage area and have a lot of different shows and preformers.Id bet to say that FAST LANE pulls more business in from the shows and bar area over actually bowling.They do have security there. Some of those people were a joke because it seems like the employees get drunk along with some of the patrons.The side room where they put the preformers is NOT that nice of an area. It had a stink to it along with holely raggedy couches. It looks like its also a storage room.

2018-02-25Took the kids on a Saturday afternoon. Horrible experience. Nothing worked including coin machine, games and automatic bowling scorer. Bathrooms were dirty, food was greasy and staff not get helpful. Not sure what happened to this place but really bad.

2018-06-03They treated us like garbage and the machines messed up every few times someone bowled. There was even flies flying around the toilets. To top it all off the counters were sticky and there was no soap or towels.

2018-02-15Got the flu from this nasty, outdated, unfriendly hole in the wall. Gross food, kids running around the bar at 10 at night, manager/owner guy rude to patrons and staff! Yucky, dry, warped wood lanes that kept sticking and stopping...worst ever! Thats Barberton for ya...

2017-11-12It is very affordable but the food was disgusting, shoes had holes in them, the lanes kept messing up and the place was just dirty in general. They need to invest in better equipment and a better kitchen.

2018-04-29The lanes are dry as a bone, the lanes don’t work properly the staff gets an attitude with you when tell them the lanes don’t work, like we broke them. The ball get stuck. It’s needs to be shut down or put some money into it.

2018-06-23Terrible customer service, scorekeepers not working properly, felt like we were a burden for showing up 2.5 hours before closing time. Big sign right by the counter saying NO REFUNDS for any reason should have been indication enough for us, but we decided to stay. Will not go back.
