300 New York

04/01/2008 Posted by emillanne

Recently went to 300 with my company to have a fun night out bowling. The booking and arrangement process was pretty easy, and when we arrived we were quickly installed at our lanes. The Facilities are really good, and some of the best bowling i've ever had. One thing I missed however was a larger selection of bowlingballs to choose from as the only available ones seemed to be the ones already placed at the lanes. The big let down for me however was the food and drinks. We ordered in a bunch of food, and I have to say it was all very poor quality. Not that you would expect top notch stuff at a bowling place, but this was on par with airport food if not even worse. Prefabricated processed junk that was just heated(and not always heated well I might add). The pizza we ordered was downright disgusting. Not only my own opinion, but the consensus of everyone who came with us that night. The day after at work, people generally said "bowling was great and I had fun, but the food was horrible". The beers we're ok, but only just so. Old scruffy pitchers filled with boring domestic stuff. Stella was avaliable, but that was pretty much the only decent lager. You would expect a large place like this to have a better selection of ales and beers on tap. I would go there again, but only for the bowling, and not so much for the food.

Pros: Good lanes, ok service

Cons: Food is horrible, poor selection of beer, expensive

300 is the mecca of all bowling alleys! It is has the perfect combination of everything for a fun night out-even staff who dance to the best mix of hip-hop-made me want to work there! The girls are hot that work there- this place is all class-- everyone looks happy to be there--and that definately rubs off on us customers-- this place rocks!

Pros: hot staff and dancers

Cons: wish they had some healthier food to eat

I went with some friends to 300 New York for bowling last weekend. We were picked out of the crowd waiting at the door and asked if we wanted to go to VIP. It cost more but they told us it was better so we did it. EVERY GIRL WORKING BACK THERE WAS SMOKING HOT. The drinks were on the expensive side but we looked at the bottle service list and they were not as bad as some clubs in Manhattan. They even had dancers (not strippers) back there. We got wasted and the girls next to us were dancing with us. The DJ was tearin' it up. Everyone was having a good time. I will go back to this place whenever I can afford it.

I have been to this bowling alley before the renovations and it was your average typical bowling experience. I haven't been since then until last week and i was blown away. This place makes leisure time and bowlmor look like a dump! They have giant video screens in back of the lanes with a dj spinning the lastest tunes. The system is post pay now as opposed to prepaid before and your given someone to take you to the lanes. Actual Service!!! Our waitress was great she gaves us recommendations on what to eat and drink. Me and my girls went for the xtreme platter that had everything on it and some drinks (Delicious). It was great! Everything was conveniently on one bill food and drinks. When we finished bowling and a couple more drinks at the bar (try the frozen big blue margarita-it's just like the one @ BBQ's) we played in the arcade. After a couple of those drinks the dancing game was quite entertaining for us and everyone around. LOL I would definately go there again. We are already planning our next outing but this time in the VIP. It was already full so we got a regular lanes. But it looks even better than the already chic regular lanes.

Pros: Parking is expensive inside the piers so park in the lot on 18th Street and 10th Ave or be prepared to break your wallet CASH ONLY!--- Make a reservation so you don't have to wait.

Cons: A super-fun time!! On the up side if you do choose to park in the overpriced parking lot there is valet service for free on pier 59.

I went to 300 New York with a bunch of friends for a birthday party. We had a blast!!!. The service was great, our server made sure that the drinks kept coming. We had a buffet and the food was really good not what I had expected. I am thinking of planning a birthday party for my sister her for her 30th in the private lanes called Club 300, which has a cool VIP club feel. Can't wait to come again.

Pros: Great drinks

I am not much of a bowler so when my friends decided to go to 300 on a saturday night lets say I was not very optimistic. To my surprise I was pleased when we got there. The atmosphere is great and the xtreme bowling was wonderful. The staff is pleasent and very welcoming. The drinks and the food are also good. Needless to say I am not a great bowler but I would DEFINITELY go back!! It makes for a great and exciting saturday night and I recommend going,

Pros: Everything was great I was pleased

Was invited to my friend's birthday bowling party and thought it was going to be lame since I hadn't been bowling in 10 years and didn't have much fun then. I was impressed from the moment we entered the door. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our laneside server was attentive and kept the drinks coming. The atmosphere was perfect, from the XL Music Video Screens behind every lane to the high energy music that pleased the crowd. I couldn't believe that I actually had fun bowling. I will definitely be back.

My boyfriend threw me a surprise birthday party @ 300 New York on Friday, June 8th. It was the best party I ever had. He rented these private Club 300 Lanes. I never seen lanes like it before. There were big screens with my pictures and our video from our vacation. It was so cool. The food was great, and there was a private bar in club 300. There was our own private DJ = he was awesome. The staff was very attentive and on point. I didn't want to leave, the drinks were good and they even decorated the private space for me. I was so surprised. Til this day I'm getting compliments from all of my friends. I never been bowling in Chelsea because I always thought it was too far. The commute was actual very simple. I will definately recommend this venue for anyone who wants to have a party. And the waitress told me they even do corporate event.

Pros: Great Venue, food was great & service was on point

Went with some friends there recently on a Friday night. We had a blast. One person in our group had been there before with her company and was amazed how great the place looked. She found out they recently renovated the whole place. We did have to wait a bit for a lane but even that was no problem. They have this great lounge area where we sat and had some drinks, really a great atmosphere. They were playing some really great music video's on these huge screens down by the bowling pins, unbelievable, I've never seen that before. We had some really good food while we bowled and just had so much fun. The service was great, we had our own server. After bowling we went upstairs to this other lounge, our server called it the Loft. It's a really great spot. The music is different but still great. You can look out and down to the lanes, really cool. We had a drink up there and it was just a real nice time. Great atmosphere like downstairs but different. I will definitely be going back. As New York goes not too expensive either. One person in our group was talking to a manager there and found out they also do kids birthday parties and has since booked a party for his neice for a Saturday afternoon. It's just a really nice place to have a great time. I can't wait to go back. It was busy and great all at the same time.

Pros: Service--Atmosphere--Different areas to sit and eat and drink--Music

Cons: The wait for the lane if I want to be picky
