Extremely rude owner. He was so inflexible with our group of students. The kids were respectful despite his attitude. The place was empty but he required groups of 10. There were 24 lanes but we had to all be stuck in a corner with 3 lanes. No one else came the whole time but we still couldn’t spread out at all.
We chose this place because of the price – it's the cheapest place around. We didn't bring food into the alley. We just had a group of maybe 5-6 boys who didn't want to bowl when they found out that it was required to have 10 students per lane. Instead of being allowed to sit while their friends bowled, they were asked to leave. All of the boys were being quiet and respectful. It was 10AM. No one was eating.
As for the lanes, it's worth repeating that there are 24 lanes , and they forced a group of 30 students to take 3. There was 1 other group in the corner, which means that for the entire time we were there, 20 lanes were available that we had no access to. And because the machines in each lane are so slow, we never even finished playing. It takes a long time for 10 people to finish 10 rounds of bowling. Students had to wait upwards of 5-10 minutes in between their turn to bowl. If we had even been able to use 5 lanes instead of 3, we would've had enough time.
Management could've said anything along the lines of: "We're really sorry, but it's just our policy here. We wish we could help, but those are the rules. I hope you can understand." What did they say? "We know what we're doing here. You don't like it, you can leave." Our students made the best of a crappy situation, and they deserve credit for staying calm after being so disrespected and condescended to. The fact that management would call us liars just to save face – instead of doing the right thing and simply apologizing – shows more about who they are than any of my comments.
If even just one school group reads this and decides to go elsewhere, then my comments will have done their job.

Good bowling house. Pins are lively no dead wood here. Ball returns at decent speed. Friendly staff. No smoking. Some house shoes could use an upgrade. If your serious about bowling;bring your own bowling shoes.Stadium Lanes by Yankee Stadium is gone.Gun Post Lanes is a good place to work on your game.

Great place

Great place to have fun

Gun post lanes was a very fun place to bowl the workers were nice but the bad thing was the food place was CLOSED:(

I've been bowling in this house all summer. The improvements are extensive. Those who bowled there during the winter league season should return this fall. They would all be happy with the lane conditions. Gunpost is a comfortable well kept house. The manager has worked tirelessly upgrading the lanes.
