Liberty Lanes Bar & Grill: Historically AJs — Local services in Bonners Ferry

Very sad experience. Went for a birthday party today, and I told the owner I had 4 kids under the age of 7, so we play slow, can I pay per game? No, by the hour only. We went 13 minutes over the hour to finish the ONE game, extra $20. Pizza showed up AFTER all the bowling was finished. And at the end, I noticed the pricing sheet and pointed out that if I pay for each player individually, AND the pizzas separately, it would cost me $30 less. Not allowed apparently. Since my wife booked the party, we cannot change the type of event. Even though this is the OWNER, I guess his rules are so absolute even to himself. Zero other patrons in the place.

You know, we tried to reason with him and show him how logically his upcharging our young family made no sense, but he seems to not care about logic or working practically with our community. Again, quite sad. We loved AJ. Off to Trojan Lanes in...

Someone mentioned there is good food here. We finally had a chance to check out Liberty Lanes Bar & Grill. Our first time here and we were quite impressed.

They offer pizza, wraps, fish & chips, tator tots, onion rings, sweet potato fries and a few other items. Beer on tap, wine and canned cocktails. No one under 21 allowed to eat in the bar/restaurant. Anyone can eat in the bowling alley which can be seen from some of the tables with windows in the bar/restaurant. You can’t hear the bowling alley since it is attached but separated....

Very unfortunate experience. Made plans for a birthday party. Was just told price of party and that it included 2 pizzas and a bowling pin. Was not informed that it was only for an hour of bowling and that we would be charged past that one hour mark. With little kids, you obviously cannot bowl within 1 hour. I've worked in the customer service industry for years including with Hagadone and I've never come across a manager or owner who wasn't willing to work out a problem as we had until today. Really hoped this would be a great place for families like our community needs, instead it felt like pennies were more important than having us as...
