Lane Reservation Changes/Cancellations
You can cancel or change lane reservations up to 48 hours prior to your start time for a full refund. No refunds will be given after that time period. Ability to change lane reservations will be based solely on lane availability at the time that the change is being requested. If there are no open lanes at the new time/day you are requesting to change your reservation to, we will not be able to accomodate your request and you will need to select a new/date and time.
Do you have food onsite?
No, but we encourage you to bring your own in. Or call our preferred pizza vendor - Amicci's Pizza in Hamtramck. They will deliver right to the warehouse. Give them a call!
Do you have a full bar?
Yes, we also have bottled water to purchase, drinking fountains, and soda. NO outside beverages are allowed to be brought in and no beverages can be taken outside!
If I have a group tab for 20 or more people, will there be a 20% minimum tip added automatically?
YES
It's really $10 a person for open play?
Yes! You can play from the time we open until the time we close. Just keep winning to stay on your lane, or jump on another open lane to keep playing. Open play means you did not reserve a lane.
How do you pronounce Fowling?
Foe-ling
How should I dress?
It's a big 'ole warehouse. We have heaters but recommend you dress in layers and wear good solid shoes!
What is a Bonk?
A BonkTM is when you get the middle pin off the board (and only the middle pin) on your first throw! What happens then? You automatically win and you get to blow the BONK HONK...a very very loud horn. Think train/cruise ship horn - it's AWESOME, and LOUD! The horn is located right in the middle of the bar - just look up!
Should I call ahead of time to reserve lanes?
YES! Our lane reservations are booking up at least a week, usually more,in advance. Plan ahead!
What if I want to reserve a lane but I have more than 10 people in my group?
You will have to reserve 2 lanes. There is a maximum of 10 people per lane. If you have more than 20 people, you have to reserve 3 lanes...you get the point.
What if we are late for our reservation time?
Try to arrive 15 minutes early for your reservation. Get checked in, grab a drink, etc. If you are late, your lane reservation end time does not change.
Do we tolerate knuckleheads?
No, and neither do you.
