Nice Place
by SecretShopper09
Its a nice place, pretty casual, good food and drinks. The prices are not too high for food, drinks, or the bowling. Its a nice place.
- Pros: Good food, drinks and prices. near public transportation
Great Bowling experience
by mustangsrally
I had the greastest bowling experience at this location. I was impressed by the cleanliness and polite hostess.I find the staff are very helpful and often keep a close watch on what is happening on the lanes, on one of my recent visits i hit a strike but the computer did not register it, before i could say anything a member of staff was at my console changing the score, this in my opinion is great customer service.
- Pros: Good atmosphere, friendly staff
I love Leisure Time Bowl!
by Sw33ttukra1nk4
I reside in Brooklyn, and my friends and I were looking for a cool place to chill in the city on a rainy Friday night. A friend told us about this place. Since it was pouring, we decided to go for it. Although, we assumed it would be lame. Bowling used to be a childhood past time, but this place is great for adults too. There was a great vibe coming from this place, and the drinks were FANTASTIC. A full bar is always great. The bartender gave us great suggestions for drinks. Who would've thought that we would have such a great time? We ended up playing 3 rounds. Food was great too! We'll probably end up going here again, every time we're in the city.
- Pros: Drinks, Food, Atmosphere, Location
- Cons: none?
I had a BLasT !!
by thinkbox
I haven't been bowling for a while, I guess I wasn't that into bowling.
But Leisure Time Bow changed my mind about this sport.
I had a really Great Time.
Not just bowling, their atmosphere, people and service was so good that I wouldn't mind hanging out there with friends any time.
I Highly recommend that you check them out.
You will see what I'm talking about.
- Pros: Great bowling and atmosphere
Quite Excellent!
by sombeody arond
Kids party early-ish on a Sunday morning. Met EVERY mark: didn't spend too much, good fun for kids, viable relaxation for parents, pleasant staff (thanks Enrique), not-too-strict about kids running around, what more could you really ask for? HIGHLY recommended!
- Pros: Cost-effective, clean, "acceptable" pizza, good bowling, etc
- Cons: None
what a change!!!
by Bowlamaniac
So I went to my friend Julija's birthday party at Leisure and we really had a great time. we played for 2 hours on a very cheap package that included shoes and beer and then the manager gave us a free hour as a gift to the birthday girl. We are thinking of going there with one of the weekly leagues.
- Pros: The place is totally redone, wow.
STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!
by Jankins
After spending over $400 at this hole they closed 1 hour early and made us leave down the Fire exit to a construction site on 43st. They also told my friend when he bought the 2nd game that it was a better buy to do the hourly but it actually cost twice as much. DO NOT GOT TO THIS PLACE ITS A RIP-OFF!!!!
- Pros: Leaving
- Cons: Poor Management, Rude
Fun Atmosphere!
by whitegrl247
When I stumbled upon Leisure Time, I was very shocked for two reasons: the location, Port Authority, and also the fact that it's unlike most bowling alleys I've ever been to. The atmosphere was amazing; strobe lights, live dj, and it doesn't feel like a typical bowling alley with everyone partying and having a great time. It was just refreshing to find a place that could take such a normal pasttime and make it that enjoyable! I would definitely say if you're in the area you should check it out, especially if you like beer towers.
- Pros: great drinks and cocktails
- Cons: none for me
Bowling is back
by samiha
My friends and I had gone here before lacking a reservation and smartly learned our lesson for this past weekend, where I chose to celebrate my birthday. Before booking, I had researched Bowlmor Lanes (down on University Place) and Chelsea Piers Bowling Alley- Chelsea Piers never got back to me and Bowlmor quoted $250 bucks for one lane rental for 6 people, NO SHOES INCLUDED. Leisure Time Bowl, on the other hand, does online reservations, offers a 20% discount when you book online. Ended up being $21 bucks each for 12 people, with shoes included for $252...total. It was an awesome time- the center is super clean, chill and heaps of fun when the drinking and bowling begin! My friends and I will definitely be back!
- Pros: Convenient, Great looking staff and customers
- Cons: hidden
Best bowling rates in the city for the value.
by fbillet
This place has the best rates in the city for the value.
I definitely give this place 5 stars.
The bowling was $29 per person with everything included;
On top they give you a huge beer tower.
Over all, after all the drinking and all the bowling, I was wiped out!
I will definitely be coming back soon.
- Pros: Cozy Environment!, Hot bartenders!, Cool beer towers!
- Cons: I really need to work on my bowling skills :)
