Pioneer Lanes — Local services in McMinnville

My experience from this bowling alley. The first time we ever went, we always order beer and pizza. The blonde headed lady that has short hair to her shoulders has always Let us step outside drink our beer and smoke. No problem come in and out as we please very friendly and nice. Even let us go to a back room where they store the beer & food and let us smoke and drink, which is in the building. There is a lady that has brown hair and long. She was very rude from the get-go. We go outside to drink our beer like we always do the brown hair lady stopped us and told us that was not allowed. Which I respected and turned back around to head in the building, we go to speak to the blonde haired lady because that’s what the brown headed lady said to do and she gets very rude with us as well about going out side. We was a little bit confused because they have always allowed us to do this. We was trying to tell the blonde haired lady we was just going out there to smoke and drink our beer, The blonde headed lady looked at us and said what part of NO do y’all not understand. We was confused why she said that because we was not arguing or being rude with neither one of them. I even told her we was trying to respect their rules. We will not be back due to them having different rules just depending on their moods they are in..They even had a cat that we loved that runs around the kitchen and food and beer area that we love to Pet. The thing we do not like, one minute, they are really friendly the next minute they may turn in a really bad mood and changed their rules just because they all of a sudden got in a bad mood for whatever reason. I don’t know how we are supposed to know if one minute you are allowing us to do something and the next minute you’re not allowing us to do it..very confusing and not OK to get frustrated with your customers when that is something you was allowing them to do then all of a...

First, let me say I am not a bowler, so I can only base my review off of my passive visit here and how much fun my kids had.

The entrance from the outside does not look appealing, so just hang in there until you get through the door!

Since our previous visit, the place is cleaner, brighter and has more to do. But it's definitely a family-type place rather than a big business.

That said, fourteen lanes, food and drink available, a medium sized game room, plenty of tables and chairs, a jukebox and a pool table provide fun for most in your party.

I'm not sure how quickly game machines are repaired here, but just under half were down when we visited. In case they are up when you visit, bring your quarters!

Its handicap accessible both in entrance, paths and bowling aids if anyone...

Had a blast bowling with the family. The staff is super friendly, the food is delicious and fresh. It is always very clean inside and out, even the bathrooms. Great prices, with deals during the week and weekends. A fun and exciting environment with bright coloring lights everywhere and a jukebox to choose music from. You can shoot pool, and play Darts, and it even has an arcade room for kids also. A great place for the whole family to have fun. Always ask for Rich if you have any questions or concerns. He is very professional, understanding, and caring. I Always enjoy my experiences at Pioneer Lanes...
