Brunswick Zone XL Kennesaw Lanes

Old. I was slightly shocked when my wife and i came in and saw the age of the facilties VS the outside. The games were worn, we had a hard time getting them to read the cards and had to play multiple games solo because we couldn’t get them to read both cards fast enough. We went in to bowl and were told it was a 45 minute wait, yet half the lanes were open. We were told a large party was using them, and after an hour when we diced to just leave, the lanes were still not in use. We went to the «old school» bowling lane down the road and got what we expected, a bowling alley, that we could bowl at!

Cool little place. Big! And good people serving big drinks. It’s clean, and good.

Brunswick zone is a fun place to hang out when you might want to play some arcade games a win a box of candy… or a stuffed animal after you’re done bowling. They have a lot of lanes, including the Loft which is an area away from the main set of lanes. It has giant TVs and I think is for adults? They have table service which was awesome, I didn’t have to go to some counter and wait while everyone else waited for me to take my turn. We had an email coupon for some bowling on thanksgiving and had a really good time. I’d recommend joining the mailing list. And trying the Mac N Cheese bites or the flatbread pizza!
They also have leagues, which if I were to have time for another league I would definitely join here. This is the nicest and best kept bowling alley around. The only problem is that it does draw the kid and teenager crowd because of the arcade games, so if you’re looking to just hang with your adult pals see if you can get in the Loft. I’ve been to a christmas party here too, and it was awesome. The banquet area was really nice, the food excellent (not sure if a caterer was brought in or what) they had pool tables to pass the time, and of course the group party bowling.

Plenty of parking. Very open lay out. They have a pool room which is cool. The seating in the lanes area is the old school hard plastic chairs setup which sucks. However if you are lucky enough to get seated in the VIP area behind the bowling counter you will enjoy nice plush seating. If you go on a Saturday night like my friends and I did be prepared to wait for a lane. However, they will give you a buzzer to notify you when a lane opens up. Food is a little better than typical bowling alley food. The drinks tend to be watered down in my opinion. Overall it’s not a bad place to go bowling and hang out.

Great place to bring international visitors. Good old American experience. Good for the family. There is a bar and servers that take your order at your lane. Get the fries! They have this basil seasoning that I constantly crave. There is a large arcade. Games and bowling are pretty inexpensive. No smoking. Good for large parties.

Came here to bowl with some friends. It was very busy so we had to wait about 2 hours to get our lanes. We still had a good time at the bar while we waited. The drinks were strong and the food was decent. When it got a little later in the night all the kids started leaving so it was more fun and not so crowded.

Great place! If you can reserve a spot in the private bowling area called The Loft I highly recommend it. We had the best time there for New Years Eve. Loved that they even had party favors for us. They also have waiters that come to you and take your order while you bowl in the loft area and they are very attentive.

I came here with a group of friends for a Farwell party and was treated very rude from the beginning. You would think a company would welcome a large group who is about to spend a lot of money but it was the exact opposite. We felt like we were being watched closely from the moment we walked in. Management was rude, specially Jason whom kicked a friend out for not having an ID on her when she was clearly over 21 and NOT even drinking with everyone else. Someone has to DD. Service was slow for our food, which is lunchroom quality food anyway, no one should pay their prices for that low quality of food. As soon as they created a «reason» to kick us out they did. After we had paid for unlimited bowling and did not even get to complete one game… Overall not an environment to feel comfortable in whether you’re over 21 or not, they will treat you like you are just cash in their pocket and not paying a customer. HORRIBLE PLACE TO ENJOY YOUR NIGHT! Hope everyone who tries this place out has a better experience than we did and avoids Jason’s unexplainable rudeness.

Fantastic time! They were very busy but we seemed to get a lane in no time. The service was great and food is pretty good to. Would recommend this place all day!

This place has horrible customer service. We had several problems with our lanes with no help from William the robo rent-​a-​manager with scripted responses and a Napoleon complex. Will never go back. This place is in need of competent managerial leadership that actually cares about customers and will do everything they can to make sure we enjoy our time and get our moneys worth. My group will not be coming back. Amf is way better

This place has busted lanes and busted staff. Will never bring a party here again even if they offered free games. So pissed I wasted money here. When I tried to get my money back William the manager told us we couldn’t even though we were unable to finish our game! F this place and its $hi$% bowling… never again. I am taking my business to AMF

I came here for an outing during a conference so I cannot factor cost into the review.
We had a buffet style dinner in the special event area and it was pretty good. The brisket was excellent but I wish they had put out some extra bbq sauce for drizzling.
We got passes to laser tag which meant go time! I quickly sized up the competition in the room and got my game face on. They play an entertaining safety orientation video to get you ready to go. Then, you suit up, get your code name (Phoenix for me) and enter the arena. My strategy? Take out the opponent’s base then head back to mine to shoot up any one trying to take my base down. Winner winner chicken dinner! Phoenix in first baby! The best part of winning in a competition with co-​workers is the endless bragging that can occur back at the office.
We then headed over to the loft area for glow in the dark bowling. One of the employees nicely helped me get our lanes into league mode so we could rotate lanes and bowl at a faster pace. The selection of balls was a bit sparse but the music was good and the drinks were tasty.
Topped off the evening with some crane game and arcade fun. Overall, our group enjoyed the time at the Brunswick Zone and I enjoyed the glory of the laser tag win. I wish we had a place like this near my home!

This is a one stop shop for fun. It’s Discovery Zone on steroids. Bowling, laser tag, games and an über billiards room with a builtin karaōke stage to boot. On this hot ATL night and not wanting to head to buckhead. Enjoy the Brunswick Zone.

If you want to practice and not be interrupted, this is a good bowling alley to go to during the day. If you want to act crazy and hang with friends then going during their special cosmic bowling is probably for you.
I like going during the daytime on weekdays so I can get some practice in when I’m not busy. I also signed up to receive specials by email which usually include a discount to bowl, and a special on their arcade section. The cashiers at the front counter are usually very helpful and friendly.
The service from the bar area is inconsistent at times. Sometimes someone will be right over to greet you when you get to a lane, other times you’d have to walk over to the bar just to get some water and by the time I walk over to the bar to get what I want, there’s no need to come to my lane. But they still come over to the lane to see if you want any food or drink. I think they need drink machines to cut out some of the unnecessary bar service because 1 person doesn’t want to buy a pitcher of soda and a charge on refills is a bit much, but that’s the way it works here…
Anyway, the lanes and equipment are pretty good here. The food is okay, but it’s your typical kind of bar food. The way the tables are set up by the lanes is close if it’s crowded, that’s why I like coming earlier in the day to bowl seriously. They have lots of leagues to join and the staff at the front counter can help you out if you’re interested in joining. Checking out the website to see if they have any special events going on that may effect their hours of operation is helpful.
Other than that, a super mega bowl alley may not be my thing, but this is a cool place to hang out. But I like my bowling minus all the fuss.

My first time being here… reminds me of Dave and Buster’s, except with bowling lanes. They have laser tag (which we didn’t do), bowling lanes, arcade, and they do have food/​beer. Their service is excellent but their arcade is pricey. I guess since they show the dollar amount versus just how many points it takes to play. It makes you more aware of how much you spend. Double edge sword.
The downside to the arcade is that they do not spit out tickets, the winnings are actually stored on the card that you swipe. I can see why they do that, one to make sure you get your «tickets» and possibly a money saver on their part. Alas, isn’t the point of playing games is to actually see your tickets pile all over the floor? :)
I kinda would like to have my birthday party held here… an idea to be played with.

This place is like a Dave and Buster’s with a bowling alley and laser tag — I am shocked that we don’t have one (or something like this) in Orlando. We were staying in Ellijay and meeting my cousins who live near Stone Mountain, so it was a good halfway point — and they have a wonderful deal on Sunday mornings for bowling (I believe it was $ 3/​person/​game) When we got there (around 10 a.m.) it seemed to be ‘throwback to the 90’s’ — - Spice Girls, Ace of Base, Backstreet Boys — definitely my jam! Around 11 it turned to «Cosmic Bowling» (which was really neat) and the music was modern top 40!
Definitely a fun way to spend the morning.

Horrible horrible time with my 10 years old kid. Spent 70 bucks on arcade credit in exchange for condescending teenage employees service. Horrible service. Cant speak for the bowling or pool section. MAN these teenage employees think there are so smart with their smartxxx comments.
Advise for the management: Replace the crew with people who truly cares about the little kids experience.

The place was spacious and clean. The video games were sad and outdated so that is a disappointment. Overall the price of bowling is ridiculous for 2 games it is nearly $ 40 for 2 people.
There was also a wait at the bar as there was only one person working and even though there was minimal business there was always a line.

I came here for an unofficial car meet the other night. We were inside eating and drinking for a while, and our waitress was basically running around with her head cut off. In the midst of splitting the check, she lost a few items (good for us, bad for her, I suppose). Maybe she was new? Dunno, she didn’t say. So it took us a longgggg time to pay our bill, even though it was just a bunch of beers and one guy got some food at our table. Afterwards, we were just hanging around outside without any trouble. ;)
I’ve also been here for company bowling. They have a nicer area for private parties with a food and drink bar. I didn’t think a bowling alley could be so swanky. The arcade area is pretty big, with LOTS of things to do. If that doesn’t entice you, head over to the billiards area!

I had a great time at this place on Thanksgiving night! Sure the place is tacky as hell, neon colors are everywhere to make the place glow whenever they have cosmic bowling.
We actually ended up here because the bowling alley near my house got rented out. So off to Kennesaw we went, I really was expecting the place to be flooded with teens and a bunch of families but it was practically empty, which worked for us but, eventually, the place got packed.
We actually got a great deal: we got 3 games and shoes for 4 people for $ 45… Not bad at all. They also had decently priced pitchers of beer despite their limited selection (bud light, 420, blue moon, coors light, guinness).
When we finished up our second game, they were nice enough to move us to another section so that our friends could join in and also so we could not insult the families with kids, as we were throwing «F» bombs around, which tends to happen when we drink and suck at bowling.
We ordered a basket of fries and chicken tenders which were pretty good for bowling alley food.
The place also has a large arcade, and huge parking lot. Also if you don’t feel like eating here, there are a couple of restaurants that are so close you could walk to them: Tilted Kilt, and On the Border. ‘Im sure there are lots more, but I cant really think of them :-)
