Friendly and helpful staff. Fellow bowlers friendly as well. Google incorrectly lists Spare Time as candlepin when you ask Google assistant for candlepin bowling in Manchester. Parking limited. Nice place to bowl. Score board panel a little confusing. Score kept by computer. Two dollars per game before noon on Sunday. I did not eat there so no comment on food. Has a big video game room.
Well here is another great example of a very small bar that maybe should think twice about loud live entertainment but doesn't. Drinks were very good and priced right beyond that
After several visits the staff, bar food and all around prices/deals have been consistently good. Will continue our weekly trip.
Good time, a little pricey.. But it's clean and food is good. Drinks aren't bad either, TVs between lanes playing the game when it's on. Great place for the whole family to get what they want out of a night.
The woman at the desk, Robin was incredibly rude to my friends and I. We went on Wednesday 10/25 for a friend's birthday and she ruined our experience. One of our friends said we would like to pay seperately. There was also a new girl training who I think Robin was supposed to be training but she was incredible rude to her as well! The girl accidentally charged all of our games to the first friend's card and when we said thats not what we wanted, Robin was basically like "oh well, deal with it" and when i said "shouldn't you issue a refund since it was your mistake?" she rolled her eyes and said "why can't you just give her the cash. it's not a big deal" easy for her to say when it's not her debit card or her bank account! She was so rude to the new girl right in front of us as well right in front of us! The new girl looked like she was going to cry! I love coming here, but Robin needs to go! She is awful!
Great bowling alley with laneside service and awesome food.
Staff isnt very engaging and the music choice could be better but I enjoy ordering food or drink at my lane
Great place for fun and family. Food is very good. Atmosphere is upbeat and inviting. This is a well lit, clean, and maintained bowling alley that is up to date.
Great bowling alley, attentive and friendly staff. I wish they updated their scoring system to a more modern one, but oh well. Monday nights at 9, 10 bucks all you can bowl till close.
My friend and I had never been here before. It was a Sat night and we stood at the busy counter waiting our turn for 10 - 15 mins. When it was our turn, we were the last people in line, the kid behind the counter asked us if we were on the list, we said "no", and he then turned away from us and took a phone call. That was the end of our interaction. A man that looked like the manager then came out and took another phone call, also ignoring us. After another 10+ minutes of being ignored, not even a "be right with you", we turned to leave, and that's when they decided notice us. They yelled to us "ladies!" But it was too late. Terrible customer service, borderline insulting. If they had some courtesy at all, I would have patiently waited however long, but without so much as a "hello", I'll give my money to another establishment. We spent over $50 at Merrimack Ten Pin, which was a much nicer place anyway. I'll never go back to Manchester Spare Time.
Been going here for years. Always a good time! We go on Sunday mornings when prices are good. The glow bowling is awesome too, a great time.
A bit dated, but well maintained lanes and surprisingly decent pizza for a bowling alley. The 5-8 special is a great deal for a group. Bathrooms were pretty sub-par, but otherwise a good place to knock down some pins.
Love coming here all the time! Great place to get together with co-workers of all ages! The rates are awesome and the staff are super awesome! If bowling isn't your thing, they do have a bar usually with awesome live music on the weekends!
Great big ball bowling. Good staff. More things to do as well. But not a great location.
Prices of games are insane. Service is slow. You can't even leave the bar with your drink. They need to bring to you. Atmosphere is mediocre at best. $5.00 a game is absolutely nuts. They offer no hourly lane rental to offset that cost. Strikers East in Raymond is $3.00 per game, it's nicer, the beer and service are awesome plus they offer hourly lane rentals for up to 6 people.
