Great service. My boyfriend and I went here for one of his tournaments last week and the employees made sure everyone was doing okay. Made sure that the younger ones understand how to continue on to the next game. Overall had a amazing time. Food is also good!
They told us it would be 60 dollars for 3 games then said pay after and then after it was 140 for 3 games and they scammed us and lied
Dark and a little run down but thats the best thing. Bowling Alley can be. Ive had fun at this place for literally decades.
At AMF Fairviee Lanes watching unified bowling. What a great way for kids of all abilities to have fun together. Now my daughter wants to come practice here on the weekends. Great place to have fun!
Always a fun time. Not the biggest location though so limited on space. Bring your own pool balls since they seem to be missing them.
We recently went here to celebrate a birthday. We went early in the day on Saturday, and it wasnt very busy right at opening. Everyone was very well distanced, there were plexiglass partitions, and everyone was wearing a mask. We felt relatively secure to be there.The biggest highlight of the day definitely had to be Thomas, the shift leader. He was fun, personable, and as helpful as could be. He even hopped back into the kitchen to make us some pizza when the cook didnt show up on time.He made us feel very welcome, and checked on us, and what few other people were there constantly. He helped our nervous little group celebrate as successfully as anyone could hope in these weird times we are currently living in.If things start going back to normal soon, we could definitely see ourselves going here more regularly. Thanks again, to Thomas and his staff.
Good times. Kids enjoyed bowling, arcade, and pizza!
Staff was extremely friendly! Our lane had an issue and they were able to get us in another lane right away. Everyone was wearing masks. Very professional and fun!
Regular bowling ally. I’d say pretty clean. The waitress bringing drinks was very attentive. Had to switch lanes, and they both acted a bit funny, but that just kind of happened. Crowd was normal and people kept to themselves.
Front desk ppl was not friendly. We had 7 ppl there only 4 bowling for my grandson Birthday we were allowed 4 chairs but yet the group next to us had extra chairs from another table nothing was said until we said it to the worker that was wiping tables down. We did have a nice friendly server with our food and drinks. However I will never go there again. My grandson is in a bowling league at the one in Webster
Valerie the manager is very kind and welcoming. My kids had the summer pass the past two summers and she was so great to them. She is working tirelessly to keep the place clean during the pandemic!
My friends and I always have a great time when we go and the staff are super nice.
Great place for the kids. But prices a pretty high for everything
Even in the age of covid we had a blast!!! Very friendly staff cleaning everything all day! We will definitely be returning to this location! Thanks ladies you made our first family covid outing a success!!!
Our family spends a lot of time at Fairview Lanes. From practice, to leagues, and birthday parties, the management and staff always goes above and beyond to ensure we are taken care of! Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, I’ve watched the staff work tirelessly to accommodate all DOH guidelines while keeping the patrons safe and comfortable. My family is actually considering bowling exclusively at AMF Fairview Lanes because Val and her team have always treated us so well. So clean, so friendly, so professional!
The staff are very friendly and nice. They were having a slow night. When we arrived, they were planning on closing early since only one lane was being used. They told us that they will stay open until we were done bowling.
The two women running the place on Saturday October 17th were great. Our server/bartender Jenn was fantastic. Super friendly and outgoing. Made our visit special-Regan
The people who work here are super friendly and helpful. And the pizza and fries were really good. The interior is clean and has a good atmosphere for a party with lots of lights and music videos.
Pretty fun, it’s an bowling alley
Really fun plenty of good weight Bowling balls for younger kids. A few malfunctions with the machines but was quickly fixed in 20 to 30 seconds.
I bowl in a league, everything is clean and tidy. Fair prices, good lane conditions, the occasional “disco” time with colorful lights and music is a great experience, and I have been enjoying my home alley since I could walk (I’m currently 14).I would recommend this to anybody who wants to bowl recreationally or seriously. Staff are very helpful and cheerful and always willing to stop what they are doing to help you.
Not a great experience, staff were not friendly. I called before going, asking if their were “open bowling “ hours the person who picked up told me until 6pm I also asked if I could use a Groupon I purchased and she told me it was fine . As soon as I got there (3:45pm) I told the man at the front desk I was using my 2 hr bowling groupon he quickly told me we would have to get off the lanes at 5:30pm and I responded that I spoke to someone earlier and said we would be fine until 6 he reluctantly told me he would do his best but their would be league bowlers behind us anxiously waiting to bowl . We brought our young children and they were not equipped with extra bowling ramps kids use to bowl . I ask the man at the front desk when we got our shoes and lane he stated they only had two and they were being used . I asked another gentleman to help me get the game started he RUDELY pointed to the directions BEHIND me and said “ the directions are right there “ pressed a button and walked away . We played our first game and I went to the front desk to ask again for the bowling ramps and they were still “in use” i felt as if they were annoyed with me asking . 5:30p they were sweeping the floors around us obviously telling us it was time to go .. 85 wasted!!! If I could give this place no stars I would !! Customer service skills SUCK!!!
Lanes are great. Ceiling fan above us fell and was hanging by its wires. Food counter smelled great. Fries and wings took 45 mins. We had to cancel. Great place needs more people.
We had so much fun!! I used a Groupon, and we ran out of time with only one frame to go. The manager added 15 minutes for us to finish up the game and play more if we had wanted to! Very nice family fun time we will return again!
First time there. Inside was very cool with lights and the arcade games were fun. Wish it was not so expensive. Close to $30 for both of my sons to play 1game and 2 shoe rentals.
The food is okay but nothing special. The bowling can be expensive, $6.50 pet player pet game on Sunday is a joke. $50+ just for 2 games w 3 players and one is only 5. Either bowling has just gone up a lot in price or this place is a rip off. Its a decent atmosphere inside maybe a 4 out of 5. Avoid Sundays before 5pm at all costs though because it will cost you.
Hot, muggy, lane not scoring correctly
My daughter had a great 7th birthday party with 13 of her friends. We had three lanes and it worked out perfectly. I would definitely recommend the birthday party there as all the employees were helpful, responsive, and big part of making our party a success. Thanks to AMF Fairview for a wonderful time! :)
The staff here is amazing, food is surprisingly great (I recommend the pizza or one of the sandwiches) and the fact that they have a pool table and corn hole, that is icing on the top. The staff here truly makes this the go to bowling alley in the area, as you can bowl anywhere, but you cant get service like they provide anywhere else
Its a nice bowling alley. Been here a few times. Staff is usually pretty cool about stuff. Things seem to be kept fairly clean.
Never again will I go to this bowling alley!! It was a Wednesday night around 5:30. My wife and our two kids (3 & 6) Bowled two games plus the shoe rentals ended up costing us 72.00!!! Unreal!! Its no wonder bowing alleys are going broke. Never again will I visit This or any other bowing alley that charges 6.50 a game and 5 bucks each for shoe rentals. Total killer to a great time had.
The Good: Employees are all super nice. Smaller place, kind of old school inside, quick bar service, good selection of beers.The Bad: Lanes are super oily, personally I think they over do them. If you throw a straight ball, its great. If your ball breaks youre in for a struggle until you get used to how slippery they are.The Ugly: You simply cant go during normal hours without some sort of Groupon or with them running a special (I think after 10pm its flat rate) or you will get price gouged. We had four of us there on Friday night, bowled from 7-9 oclock, which would normally be around $40-$75 all in, but they charged us over $140. It was ridiculous. With a few rounds of drinks we spent over $200 there. Just way out of line with what everyone else charges (Radio Social is flat rate $30 per hour, we would have spent $60 there). One employee said thats why the parking lot was empty on a Saturday prime time, they had no specials running and we never checked the rates. Total bait and switch because we had a Groupon but they said you had to get there before 6 to use it.We will go back here for sure, but never without calling first and finding out what pricing will be.
I will absolutely never ever go back here ever again. $100 for 5 people to bowl for just 2 games. No wonder this place is going under. Radio Social is a million times better, $15 per hour no matter how many people you have. On top of that the place is not updated at all, go to Radio Social and it’s absolutely clean & beautiful inside. Customer service is horrendous as well. This place isn’t going to last.
Terrible service, annoying managers. Tried to order a pitcher of beer and got harassed. Lots of attitude from staff, particularly the manager. I left the place more upset than I came in.
Amazing staff, especially the general manager and the bartender! Super friendly and attentive to everything while you’re there. Will definitely be back!
Cheap drinks and the staff is great. The machines are a little dated but I would come back to bowl again!
I am a league bowler at AMF Fairview Lanes, in Fairport, NY. I had the worst experience last night with the General Manger. When we arrived for our scheduled league (Saturday night Mixers) we found we were bowling on the end pair of the league (17&18). There was open bowlers right next to us on 19 & 20, which wasnt a huge deal as we had not started yet and they seemed composed and respectful of others. We were not asked if this was okay with us, as league bowlers, and we did not make a big deal out of it because they were very nice and understood lane courtesy. We bowled 1 game next to the open bowlers while they bowled 3 games and had no issues. About a half hour later the lane next to us turned on and approximately 9 children came to the lane next to us, taking over the entire settee area, spilling into our lanes as well. They were all older children, that clearly did not need bumpers, but bumpers were put up as well. When we asked the children to remain on their assigned lane they were rude and did not respond. I approached the counter, where I found an employee in a black shirt (no name tag) and another employee with a blue shirt (again no name tag). I asked to speak to the manager and the one wearing the blue shirt stated that she was the General Manager. I explained that we are league bowlers in a sanctioned league and by USBC standards we should be granted at least one lane courtesy. She then acknowledged that we should have one lane courtesy and that the new employee issued the lane. She then told me that the parents of the children were informed that they would need to keep an eye on the children (not one parent in sight of the group), they were at the bar. Once I asked the General Manager, again no name tag to do something about the situation and about all the children in our settee area, she came down and said she is trying to figure it out. She seemed upset with us and acted like we were the burden and in the wrong. While we were discussing the options of either dealing with the chaos or moving to the pair that had just finished bowling because they bowled the blind, one of the kids spilled a drink all over the settee area. The liquid and ice went all over both settee areas. She never offered an apology nor did she really do anything to help the situation. I was the one that suggested we move one pair to the left where teams had all ready finished. Moving 2 teams of league bowlers, all their equipment, food, drinks and families is not the easiest and was frankly a huge, unavoidable inconvenience. Her customer service was the worst I have ever dealt with in the many years I have spent in bowling centers. The General Manager was more concerned with socializing with the bartender and outside doing who knows what then dealing with the league problems that she had a hand in starting. I understand that people make mistakes and that things happen, but the least she could have done was apologized to the two teams effected and try to make it right. Instead, me, one of your customers, had to suggest to her what to do in this situation. I will have to think very long and hard about where my family and I will be bowling next year in the 4 leagues that we bowl in. My wife and I are very reasonable people, and have worked in the bowling industry the majority of our lives, both for AMF and independent centers and as part of the management team. That being said, we understand the situation and sympathize, but are very disappointed in our treatment and with the way the situation was handled. In the past AMFs policy has been that you cant teach customer service, but you can teach bowling... I believe in this particular case the manager clearly has no idea about either. Thank you for reading, and I hope that in the future the General Manager at AMF Fairview Lanes will be a bit more receptive and helpful.Disappointed league bowler
Very expressive for the quality that is there. Been several other places with better seating and cheaper lanes..cost a family of 6 adults and 3 children $280 for two 10 frame games plus beer food etc
We actually go here for date night. We dont bowl but love to have a great priced drink at the bar and have a bite to eat. Great prices on food and drinks. Plus the bartender is always very friendly.
Either bowling got expensive or this place is a rip off. $6.50 a game per person plus $5.50 for shoes. Ovet $50 for 2 games it cost. Atmosphere is okay may be 4 of 5. Food is like a 3 of 5 maybe 3.5. Im looking at other places in Rochester for weekend bowling with my son now.
New management at AMF Fairview has really upgraded every aspect of this place. The lanes are always in excellent condition,. The support facilities. are functional and clean. The staff is friendly and prompt.
Great staff. Super nice, helpful and good people.
Best running lanes in New York State!!! Very clean center with team driven employees!!! Would recommend to anyone looking to join a league in fairport, book a birthday, or just have a night out!!!
Not a bad place good for the family
Wouldn’t accept my Global Entry ID (issued by DHS/CBP) because they had “never seen it before.” Didn’t happen to have my drivers license with me so they refused to serve me and my friends drinks, because they suspected their ID’s were fake too. Lanes were overly oiled, sodas were expensive, and the music choice was pretty awful when I went (not helped by being totally sober). Never coming here again.
Was great. Staff courteous... Bartender she was awesome will come back with my two sons and my daughter every Family Fun Fridays. Thank you
It was a great experience for many of our students who have never bowled. The staff was exceptional with our school.students.
Clean and good food
Take my grandchildren here to bowl. They beat me every time. But after all I am a senior citizen so thats to be expected. A little expensive for my pocket but I guess theyre reasonable for todays cost of living.
Very nice environment!everybody was pleasant, love the bartender Jenn she was such a sweetheart and very patient with us LOL would definitely go back there again and bring my kids!
Friendly staff. Clean facilities. Better quality of house balls and shoes than some other bowling alleys Ive been to recently.
Its a slightly shifty bowling alley. Food is overpriced and not so good, but I think the prices for games and shoes are reasonable.
Friendly, helpful staff. Clean facilities. The kids had a great time here. ATM on sight as well.
Tried to over bill my son and his friends and asked him to leave when he asked staff to please allow them to distance from a group who were not masking.
It is dark and underwhelming bowling alley compared to where Ive been. Despite this it was nice, wasnt crowded and the bowling alley aspect of the venue was perfectly fine
The service here is great, but they change up the pricing a lot, and it varies quite a bit from day to day. Despite the confusion, the lady working the front desk when I walked in, Briana, was very thorough and efficient.
Kids loved it! Used a Groupon..saved some cash!
Enough free lanes that wee didnt have to wait but enough people there to make it fun. Lots of choices for bowling balls.
Get the Passport during the summer if youre a regular bowler. $45 gets you 3 free games at any AMF in Rochester every day until September 1st. Cant beat that.
37 dollars for 4 total games and shoe rental for 2 people. Summer price really high. Ouch!!!
Nice friendly staff. Love that theyre taking all the right precautions to keep everyone safe from covid.
Food is excellent place is super clean. Real cute inside. Had a great time
Slightly overpriced bowling games but it is a national chain so difficult to argue with that. The bartender was fantastic and very knowledge.
Cool place to play.
Very open, light atmosphere. Good lane conditions.
Love their discounted rates after 7 pm on Sundays. Always helpful and friendly staff.
Only worth going to when its going to be super cheap. Also, kids are annoying. Dont take them bowling. Make them read a book or something.
Great place for bowling. Kids had a blast
Excellent staff & food. Very clean facility.
Great environment and super friendly workers
Best bowling alley ever. Clean, well organized, friendly staff.
Super clean facility, lots of great lights and video screens. A fun place to play
Great fun and great prices when you visit on Tuesday evenings for the $2 Tuesday specials.
Wasnt a lot of Lanes was charged for all night bowling even though I told them I only wanted to play one game . Wasnt told about it, and they told me they couldnt give me a refund.
A great place to bowl! Super clean too!
Good bowling. Lanes work nice and the food is good, but stuff here is expensive and they are sometimes slightly understaffed.
Solid bowling alley, very clean, good looking bar with pool tables as well.
Thomas is great and made us feel really welcome.
Its a good place to come meet friends after a conference or a long day at work.
Had a work party there. Smaller place but its very nice inside.
You shouldnt need a 2nd mortgage to bowl. 2 kids 2 games =$55 with food. No wonder no one bowls anymore.
Great local bowling alley. Wonderful activity for the whole family.
Great time, good food , amazing service
Great place to have a party! Everyone had a wonderful time!
Great place to bowl! kind of expensive but nothing more than normal bowling alleys
It was great how people of very different backgrounds all got together and had a great time.
Not the most modern bowling alley, but well maintained and fun.
Bowl here every Thursday for my league and the staff have gotten to know us inside and out its such a friendly environment
People were great and it was fun but the price was insane!
I had expired groupon vouchers to redeem and they did not honor them.
Cool walk through the park after bowling.full afternoon across the road!

2022-01-02Booked an event here for NYE with family. It was so well run, they had a swag bag waiting for us with New Years celebration stuff which we loved.Tables were set and ready. Check in was so easy as was getting shoes. They brought out food staggered and in with good timing for our 2 hour block (plenty of time to enjoy and early enough that we weren’t starving). The lanes and balls are in good condition, everything was clean. Staff was super nice. We loved the fake countdown during our 2:30 blocked time, it was really fun and festive.Best of all, they had a reminder notice to keep masks on, which everyone did. And the lanes next to us were empty, it looked like they scheduled ppl every other lane.Overall it was so smooth and easy and safe for us to have a great time. We also bought arcade credit (which was such a great deal with our package) and the games are all in great condition too. The only (slight) negative I would say is that the food is okay, (although I liked the cookies a lot) but it’s what I expected for the price and for a bowling alley, and I didn’t mind that at all. I would 150% do this again!!!!

2022-06-21Nice place, but super expensive, i reserved a lane for 2 hours, and in order to reserve a lane you have to put a $60 food deposit, paid $200 & we didnt even get through 2 full games of bowling.
Review №6
2022-02-19They told me that I had to pay 20 dollars per game. I played three games… THEY CHARGED ME 140 Freaking dollars. And they wouldn’t let me pay before i played. also their wi-fi is not good.

2021-11-08What a great gem of a place for family fun, right down the street from us. We came in today for open bowl with our 6 year old+twin 5 year olds. They had plenty of lanes open, shoe sizes for everyone, and it was SO clean! I even saw the attendants vacuuming and wiping down tables right after a group left. My girls especially loved the dinosaur ramp to help them get their ball down the lane. Everyone we dealt with was so friendly. We will definitely be back!

2021-01-31We are at this bowling alley on a weekly basis and I must say it is one of friendliest and cleanest! The staff is friendly and always gets you what you need. The staff is quick and frequently checks in on you. They clean everything... the balls, the ball return, the scoring table, chairs, tables, etc. The bathrooms are clean and you never have to worry about the toilet paper being empty. Thank you for making our bowling experiences awesome!!
