I am not a fan of bowling in general, so I suppose it stands to reason that I am not a fan of Kings. For starters, I am not good at it, and I am generally not inclined to participate in activities...

King's is upscale bowling. It is clearly for the crowd that does not resemble the crowd in the "Big Lebowski." As such, it is priced for that crowd. I remember having sticker shock for having...

There's always a crowd here. It's a very large space, so the crowd's not a big deal unless you want to bowl. There's often a 2 hour wait for a lane to open up. The interior's nice though, rather swank...
