East Main Lanes Lounge - Sidney

How are you going to have a bowling alley open on a Friday night when you are really not open to the public ?

This Place was A LOT of Fun!! A Little Background: My Husband and I always hang out with Family on Sunday after Church. We wanted Someplace Fun and Fairly Priced where we could Let Loose in the afternoon. After Church My Husband Called and Asked if we needed a Reservation. The Guy told us they had a birthday party and gave us a Warning that it was Busy. He said that they had Time for 3pm 4pm. That was perfect. We got there at 3:15pm. It was Indeed VERY BUSY. In fact, SO busy, we had to park in the Curtis Lumber Parking Lot NEXT to the Bowling Alley. The bar area when we walked in looked really cool and chill. When we walked in to where all the Lanes where, it was CHAOS. Absolute Chaos (but a good Chaotic scene if you Like Kids. There honestly was so many people when we walked in, we ALMOST walked out. It took about 2 3 minutes of standing around near the front desk for someone to help us. After we got our shoes, we got Lane 5. (Which was directly in the Middle We headed over there and there was someone who wasn 't even bowling, sitting in our Lane seats. We Banished him, and started to get our shoes on. So the Laces on the shoes were a little bit worn out and frayed. The shoes were very thin, and flimsy, I couldn 't smell anything if they smelled Bad. They were well Broken in and Enjoyable. It 's been a Couple of Years since my Husband and I went Bowling... we headed over to the Ball selection on the far wall Weaving through Kid to Kid. We found A couple that we liked, and brought them back. (they had many to choose from, and a lot of Heavier Balls We started bowling, and at first we were a Little Tense. But, literally after the First time Throwing it down, We started to Loosen Up! Boy did we have a BLAST!! We Played 2 Rounds. (We left at Around 4:45ish. Also, They Close on 5pm on Sunday. It was quick to ask for another impromptu round. So the Service was GREAT!! Very Attentive! We ended up having So Much fun!! Spares, Strikes and Memories!!! They were even okay with the Baby Bowling However, The guy did tell us that they are only open seasonally, or for Private Parties in the Summer because the AIR CONDITIONER DOESN 'T WORK. I also had a personal experience with the No Air Conditioner. I Brought the baby to the bathroom because he needed to be changed. I Looked around to see if there was a Changing Table. There was NOT. But there WAS A Wooden Bench in the middle so I laid him on a blanket changed him there. After 5 turns, and going off to a small bathroom with no air conditioning, it was a little Brutal. I hurried up and finished changing him before I passed out due to heat hyperpyrexia. Plus, I wanted to get back I guess they sell food and alcohol there as well. I really enjoyed bowling there. Especially, If you don 't mind it being a little busy. And just a friendly reminder to People with social anxiety/isolation reading this... Everyone is focusing on themselves and having fun. Nobody 's watching you! Bowl like No One is Watching. In total we spent an Hour and 30 minutes there and Played Two Games for Three People. We Spent $33.00 so it was VERY CHEAP! Let 's Just Say We will definitely be going back!! We also asked about Wedding Parties, they do Private Rent outs Through the year. I do NOT know the Prices/Packages. The Socks were a LITTLE bit dirty when we Took them off. (I included a picture of that. My Socks were Completely White when We Started. I ranked it 4 Stars because of the Air Conditioner not Working, and No Changing Table. Besides those Minor Inconveniences... I Have Nothing! Great Establishment. Pros: *SO MUCH FUN! *Drinks, Food, Lounge. *Family Oriented *Variety of Balls to Choose From Cons: *No AC *No Changing Table My Recommendations: *Make a Reservation!! Call Ahead!! *Might get a Little HOT in there, Drink Water and Don 't Overdress. *Have Fun and Stay Focused! It was So Much Fun!! Thank you so Much East Main Lanes! See you Again! Mr. Mrs. Burgess

The place looks good inside, atmosphere is good and not too noisy. There is a bar if you're into that. Parking is a bit to be desired. People really need to be car pooling when they go there. It is sometimes difficult to get a spot on weekends, leagues and tournaments also make it difficult to fit in a weekend bowl after a work week. Mostly showing how popular they are though while slightly kinda complaining about it too lol Anyway 5 star but gave a 4 just because of parking room

It's a great place to bowl!! I bowl Thursday night league. Always a good time.

Absolutely amazing people. Great service, great prices. Family friendly, budget friendly, clean.
