I like Tempe Village lanes because it's so close to home so I can go there to unwind with some friends, a cold pitcher of beer and a couple games of bowling and still have plenty for a cab home.\n\nThe staff has always been very friendly and helpful in getting setup with a lane and shoes.  If its busy and you have lane troubles you might have to wait a few minutes to get someone to fix the issue.\n\nThe food is typical bar fare food (don't expect too many healthy items!), but then again you're not going to a bowling alley for premium organic foods either.\n\nI have bowled on virtually every lane due to 2 years in a bowling league there and I can say that the 3rd & 4th lanes always seemed to cause the ball to behave oddly.  I think the lanes are a little warped.  \nOccasionally, they've oiled up the lanes way too much so you may not get much desired movement on your ball.
