Spare Time Bowling Center

Thank goodness for this great family bowling alley! The food is really good too. Surprisingly great burgers and onion rings. My son loves the chicken tender basket. We always bowl a few games and have a great affordable family outing!

I have always had a great time here and they’re always packed due to our small community. Foods good, friendly service it just takes a bit due to the place always being full. Definitely a good place for fun and a bite.

We have one bowling alley in town, and the best part is, it’s really a nice and clean (!!) bowling alley and not even because it is the only one in town, or for a small town for that matter.
I grew up in Winnemucca and I was on a youth team league from 3^rd to 6^th grade, back then, the snack bar consisted of sodas, fried goods like cheese sticks and fries, candy bars and jerky basically. My mom would reward my strikes and spares with jerky LOL. (The true way to my heart) In fact, the jerky was so good we ended up buying our own jars for home.
Over the years they’ve changed wall paper and added games, updated the pool tables, changed around their trophy and engraving area and also the food counter. Adding more and more things. Now there is quite the menu including pizza, wings, hamburgers, steak sandwiches and fish and chips. And all of it is pretty darn good. If you’ve been around Winnemucca long enough you’ll also know the reputation of bowling alley fries, and I’m pleased to find out they are still the same!
As far as bowling, I recently came and they have the same computer systems as in Reno with nice oiled and level lanes. They do work hard on keeping this place up. I believe they have cosmic bowling on Fridays or Saturdays as well as $ 1 games for the summer. They have 9-​pin no tap nights and tons of leagues. They are also super super big on helping the community, often holding fundraisers and donating proceeds.
I know the owners, but mostly because my parents do, in a small town, you kind of know almost everyone, especially long time residents, overall, you don’t feel bad coming in and spending money on food or entertainment.
Ps: Recently updated their conference area to a frozen yogurt place too.
Pps: The bar is known for STRONG drinks, just beware when ordering mixed drinks LOL.

Best hamburger and fries ever. Add cheese and bacon and I was in bliss! Didn’t eat here got tale put but was very very good — must try.

For the last couple of times that we’ve been here, the food is absolutely horrible. The chicken teriyaki salad that I get is mostly the white part of the salad. It’s gross and I can’t eat it. There’s never enough chicken, tomatoes and cheese (even when I’ve asked for extra). The lettuce is soggy and brown in some spots. Tonight while there, it was the same. My husband ordered a small pizza and the crust was burnt. The fries that my youngest daughter got was soggy. My oldest daughter got a grilled chicken breast sandwich and when cutting it in half, we found that it was very pink and not even hardly cooked. The sodas are either very watered down or way too much syrup. My family and I won’t be returning for a long time.

excellent food :) never a bad burger, they are worth every penny… just like home made.

I love eating at the bowling alley. We probably eat there a couple times a month. The food is standered. Probably something out of a can or something but I always enjoy it. I love the hot wings and alot of times we just get the bucket with 30 wings. I have probably tried almost all of the food on the menu and can say I like just about all of it. I agree with another review and im disappointed that they got rid the buzztime trivia.

Unfortunately this place no longer has Buzztime Trivia. That was the main draw for my friends and I. We will still go occasionally for a beer and a good burger, but not as often as before. Also, I guess they’ve got $ 1 games all summer.

My family came to this town as a stop on our road trip to Utah. I decided to take my parents out bowling (it was their first time). The alley itself is pretty old but the prices are cheap. My mom was really psyched about the neon shoes she got to wear.
