Reviews for Seaway Lanes in Watertown, NY
Pricing wasn?t bad. Honestly, idk what people expect with a bowling alley but the people working there were very nice and they... offered an arcade, jukebox system, cafe and bar. I would recommend this place for anyone looking to bowl in the Watertown area. Read more
The best way to describe seaway lanes is an elderly person with a lot of disabilities. They need a lot of extra special care and... attention and more than anything they need you to be very patient with them. This bowling alley is very old and it needs a lotof updating. If it weren?t for the quarter mania nights I would probably never come back here again. Also, I live just aroundthe corner so I can pretty much walk there if I wanted to. The quarter mania nights is where you can bowl for only $.25 a gameand $.25 to rent shoes. However, you have to pay a five dollar starting fee or whatever it is in order to take part in thequarter mania. My guess is that?s so the bowling alley can make a profit off of $.25 games but if you?re going to advertise $.25games then let it be at that price minus the five dollars. If you bowl long enough then you?ll realize how long it takes for youto get through one game. It seemed like every 15 minutes or so the technician was walking behind the gutters to reset the lanebecause the reset button available to the users is hit or miss. As far as the age group that seems to often come in, it?s mostlylocals and older folks. If you?re young like me then you may want to look elsewhere for a trendy place to hang out. My friendand I ordered an entire large pepperoni pizza and both of us were regretting it the next day. I don?t know if this pizza wasn?tcooked through all the way or what the deal was but my stomach was not having it. Upon my next visit I decided to go with thechicken sandwich instead. Yet another poor decision on my part. The bun tasted like it was going bad or had already gone bad.You know this place doesn?t make a lot of money when refills are not offered on soft drinks. UPDATE Having gone to Seaway Lanesover the last month or so I have started to notice things. One thing in particular that will change my mind about this placeforever is the roaches that crawl around on the countertop in the kitchen. I feel like it woul Read more
It was great, the place smelled like something may have been burning in the kitchen, however it's still a really good place to... kill time and hang out with friends. Read more
I'm very disappointed that there isn't a lower rating than one star. The list of problems I had with the establishment is too... long for me to take the time and list them all, including racially prejudice behavior. I was astonished to see the conditions Iwas expected to pay for and finally gave up attempting to make a good situation out of their mockery of a bowling alley when Icouldn't find a place to sit and the bumpers had to be pulled out manually with a workers personal cane every time they wereneeded????. That's a drop in the ocean of problems with this place. If you intend have a good time without becoming upset Isuggest you don't go. Read more
Average pricing, decent food options served to your lane, and a good music/jukebox system, but the bowling experience itself... isn't great. Pins frequently fall down on their own, and strikes won't correctly register at times. I'd suggest this place as abackup being it's open more hours than other local places, but there's certainly better options. Read more
I like the place. Good deals. It's definitely not well kept though. My brand new ball got a gash in it off one of the lane... boards. Read more
Hygiene and cleanliness standards are high! They maintain social distancing between lanes and different parties. You wear a mask... while bowling but do not have to wear it while seated at your table or booth. The prices for a family of 14 were great... forthe bowling, shoe rental, and even food! Not to mention - the snack platters? Actually SUPER good! Highly recommended for afamily-friendly outing on a Sunday afternoon ???? Read more
Honestly an awful time. The quality of everything is sub par. The staff is less than pleasant and the prices really aren?t that... great. If you can go anywhere else, go there. Read more
