Had an amazing time with the wife, good food, fair priced drinks, small bowling alley, live music, and great people. Great place to get away for the evening! 10/10 will go again

We had an amazing time here today. We bowled 3 games on 1 dollar bowl night and ate dinner. The food was really good and way beyond what we expected for a bowling alley. The pizza had a crisp crust and was one of the best we've had in the area. The pulled pork nachos were 10 out of 10. The googly fries were so good too. There was a huge selection of beer on tap and we tried a few. Every one was good. My eife loved the seasonal selection if draft beers. Overall this place definitely exceeded our expectations and we will be back again soon.

Upon walking into your establishment you could tell it’s a well loved place. There were plenty of people drinking, eating and even bowling. A couple left as my party and I walked in and they generously gave their table to us. It was quickly cleaned and we were seated in no time flat! Thank you for having us!

There was a little wait to get a table, but the cheese burger was great. Fairly fast, friendly service. Kinda different place, bar/diner/bowling alley, and band was setting up to play. Probably a good place to hangout if your spending the night in Legionnaire.

Omg! A total gem. Stopped in on our way home from Idewild because it was the only place opened. I will be back for sure. Everything was absolutely perfect and delicious and there was even a live rock band! No cover fee! Lol. Also very affordable.
