It's ok, male bathrooms smell like urine bad.

Honestly it's kinda old, but it's cheap and a good time.Bowling seems fairly expensive these days. But this place is cheap and absolutely worth it.Great deal, plenty of parking, wasn't overly crowded like a lot of other places feel.

Old but a good place to bowl. They have food and a couple pool tables as well. Pricing is decent compared to others. Bathrooms are disgusting and need repairs so 3 stars max here

My husband took me out on a date and we went here! It was a Saturday afternoon i believe and it was not busy at all. The price was pretty decent and the environment was welcome.

Good pricing, decent place, good drinks. The pin counter and pinspotter are wild and consistently drop pins, count scan incorrectly, and skip bowlers randomly now and then. Great for throw practice, couldn't imagine bowling league here though

We had a good time even though our lane kept jamming. Then they moved us to another lane, and the pin machine was having issues on that lane.

As someone who once worked at this place back when it was Holiday Lanes, it's pretty heartbreaking to admit that my experiences here (since it reopened) have been pretty abysmal. Most recently I tried taking my son bowling around 5pm on a Thursday, and was curtly turned away (in a completely empty bowling alley) with the excuse of league bowlers coming in at 6. We only wanted to bowl 1 game, but no dice; to say nothing of the fact that they'd closed ALL lanes to the public for what amounts to 4.5 hours of their listed business hours. Even without that infuriating experience though, there's a lot lacking in any trip to University Lanes. The staff is rarely at their stations, and seem highly annoyed by customers. They're still using balls and shoes which were on offer 20 years ago. The machines always malfunction at some point during a game. The bathrooms need overhauled. The snack bar/bar prices are clearly where they make their money. And the charm the building used to have has been gutted (no bar area behind the lanes, seating on lanes changed in horrifically unwelcoming ways, and the way the snack bar & pool table areas were opened up just makes the building seem like a school cafeteria instead of the oldschool dive appeal it once afforded). The 2 positives I can give University Lanes are that the AC functions (something Holiday Lanes struggled with), and they still have the lowest prices in town. But I never look forward to my visits here when a family member or friend begins feeling nostalgic. Fact is, this is not the fun and friendly environment it once was.

This place has had much better decades. Our group experienced breakdown after breakdown. Woefully understaffed and the owner was gruffer than any character from Grimms Fairy Tales. Liked the 70s music in the background though.

Prices online do not reflect the actual cost. 2 games was more than double the advertised price online and no refund or compensation was offered. The worker advised that the prices were from 2018. Won't be back.

Good cheap entertainment reasonably priced drinks etc. We have visited a few times over the years. They need to fix their bathrooms, that's the only complaint really. It's pretty run down but not anything you wouldn't expect really. Will be back.

I looked on the website & they advertised great prices. When I arrived I noticed the sign on the door says the website prices are incorrect. I asked the young man at the front desk & he said the website is wrong. I drove all the way up to Denton with my family so I asked if I could have an even number lane because my husband is left handed. I was informed they didn't have any lanes available even though I saw several open. The young man was rude & the bowling alley is filthy. I decided to take my hard earned money to a place that knows how to update their website, hire polite people and clean. Don't waste your time or gas on this outdated dirty place!

Over priced and not a very appealing place to take the family out for some fun. So we didn't like the way the inside looked or the area so we just left after hearing the price for one game

This place is as absolutely terrible…We ordered food before our game started. All we ordered was one pepperoni pizza for $16. On our 9th frame, our food still hasn’t arrived and we saw a dominos delivery guy walk in. Apparently they ran out of pizza and instead of letting us know, they changed me $16 for an $8 pizza.Besides the food, this place is old and run down. The balls are all garbage and the lanes are uneven.

It's an ok spot. The outside is kinda sketchy and the inside is in desperate need of an update. The pinsetters need to be changed because they are slow to set up pins, return balls, and do not keep accurate track of which ones were hit. We have to change lanes occasionally because a pinsetter will completely be out of commission. But the people are pretty nice. I would come more often if the place was better kept.

Bottom line up front; this place is OLD and RUN DOWN. Many of the shoes we were given were blown out. All of the balls have huge gashes in them and are just generally worn out. The TVs are maybe old 480i SD flat screens from the late 90s. The place overall is dirty and not cared for. This could be such an awesome place if an owner that cared invested some money in this place for the first time in many decades.
