Went Once...Went Back

by treker814

A few weeks ago I went here with people from work for a holiday party. We all had a great time. The food was better than what I expected it to be and ofcourse the drinks were great. The person who put together the event at our company purchased one of their drink packages that really kept our group "rolling and bowling". I went back with a few friends for their, I think it's called a Tuesday bowling bash. Anyway, with a DJ and 28 bucks for all you can bowl it was great. We all got on the lanes right away and were well taken care of by the staff. Will certainly go back. If you haven't been here you should go. By Manhattan standards it's very cool and affordable.

• Pros: Lots of space...great atmosphere and service
• Cons: been there twice and really don't have any

Waste of Chelsea Pier Space

by EOcean

I am in the military and after being underway for over a year I went back home to have long needed visit. On a family outing we stopped by the Chelsea Piers and went bowling at 300 for the first and last time. The service was a disgrace, slow and unwelcoming. The unprofessional management was prejudice and disrespectful and the staff was untrained and incompetent in their jobs. For all the money people pay to 300, it seems as if not enough goes to better hiring practices.

• Cons: Management/staff completely unprofessional

Very Expensive, but an OK experience..

by ICM

I was there on a Friday evening about 10pm. Just walked up with a friend, no wait time, clean environment. I like the disco lighting, but the loud gangsta rap was a bit much for me, but if I was 18 I would have enjoyed it more. Funny but after 10pm they do not allow anyone under 21 to be there, not a bad thing. Very expensive, three games some appetizers, beers about $150 for two people. For a more traditional bowling experience, I'll look elsewhere..

• Pros: No wait time when I was there, attentive service..
• Cons: Costly, it's bowling not clubbing..., food just OK

Just Average Fun

by Momo876

I went here 5/9/2008 to celebrate a friend's birthday, and it was just ok. We got there way around 5 and waited an hr and a half just to pay 4 dollars more for a game which I thought couldve been a bit better. they wait time is very ridiculous and it was more noisy than any bowling alley I been too, it sounded like a cafeteria. Parents were'nt controlling their kids, little toddlers to 10 yr olds rolling on the floors, jumping on the couches and play fighting, I never once saw a staff member give the parents a clue, even when the parents were looking at the kids play unsafe. the food was good and piping hot despite the reviews. we had sum nachos, fries and chicken tenders that were a big enough portion for 3 people to share. the only thing I hated was the bottle water thing, they serve one type of water and dont inform u there's a water fountain. The lanes were just average, they were indeed clean but too close to the next party which was extremely loud but one good thing is the setup of the lanes, they've got music videos (recent and old) playing while you bowl to a particular theme, pretty cool. Another thing they could do better on is the service, the staff is all laughs not really paying attention to your needs and most of them were steady checking out the birthday girl while we waited an extra 15 mins after the hr and a half just for sum1 to show us where 2 get shoes. also they could use some more activities to do while you wait, the little arcade is'nt much and quite expensive ($1 for 1 token)...Overall i'd recommend it to some one but I'd point out go after 6 when the kiddies are gone or if you go early, pack you patience!

• Pros: Good atmosphere, nice lanes
• Cons: service, wait time

Terrible customer service

by skrasn

We went there yesterday for my boyfriend's birthday and, while waiting for lanes for over 90 minutes, we had some birthday cake and cupcakes that friends brought in for the occasion - in addition to some beer and drinks we ordered from the bar. We eventually got our lanes and had fun bowling, but after spending about $300 on bowling and drinks, we still got charged $25 for eating our own cake and desserts that were brought in to celebrate the birthday. The managers were inflexible when we tried to get a refund - they said we should've gotten cake from their so-called restaurant, and that was just cheap and petty on their part. Oh - and when I wanted a glass of water, they only wanted to sell me bottled water, and neglected to tell me that there was a water fountain near the bar. We won't be coming back !! There are plenty of other more accomodating places around!

Great Bowling but skip the food.

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 NY VIP hotttttt

by joesal

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.

Best in NY!!!!

by vrock

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.
