Best Bowling Alley Fiesta Lanes
501 W. River Road STAFF PICK: Anyone who says all bowling alleys are the
same obviously has holes in his head, and a mind in the gutter,
and several other bowling metaphors we can't think of right now.
It's the little things that count, and they add up to a lot over
at Fiesta Lanes. The way Fiesta's lanes are spaced, for
example, ensures that you have a lot of elbow room when you bowl.
All the equipment works impeccably, too, so you'll never have
to wait while a mechanic fixes your stuck lane, or cry out in
anguish as the lever errantly comes down to knock over your pins
just as you're about to attempt a spare. Ever get your balls confused
with the balls of a stranger because the ball-returning device
is too dumb to differentiate between lanes? Not much fun, mingling
balls like that, now is it? It won't happen at Fiesta Lanes. While
the place doesn't have much in the way of frills--no laser bowling,
no fancy animation on the score screen--the emphasis on quality
wins out. Plus, we love the mini-restaurant, where perfect
cheeseburgers are only a couple of bucks, and French fries are
served with a toothpick so you don't get your bowling fingers
greasy.
