SpareMe Bowl & Arcade Iowa City

"I recently visited SpareMe Bowl & Arcade and was pleasantly surprised by their delicious mac and cheese bites. Not only was the bowling experience enjoyable, but the huge selection of Pinball games added an extra layer of fun. The highlight, however, was definitely the mac and cheese bites - perfectly crispy on the outside and oozing with cheesy goodness on the inside. The dink selection was very good with a full bar and good beer selection. The staff was friendly, and the overall atmosphere was lively and inviting. I recommend SpareMe Bowl & Arcade for a great time out with friends or family!"

"The Spinach dip was pretty good here. They have more pinball machines than actual arcade games. One Japanese 2 shooter game. Fun drinks and kind of on the pricy side. But still a chill place with chill music playing."

"One spot for everyone! Whole family. Without limitations incl. rolling with wheels (wheelchair access), special needs, one quarter one token one good time! One place with everything for everyone. Awesome, staff. They may make it all look easy, with talent and dedication and a lot of work! Food so good and healthy you feel good after it fills you up! State of the art bowling BTW. Two huge projector Screens width of the bowling alley, so you can really root with the Hawkeyes! LETS GO HAWKS!!! We got at an advantage if they think we're still sleeping! Best arcade & pinball with top historic top games! More than meets the eye Arcade - Multi-ROM cabinets (more than one Arcade Game in the same Arcade console!) Pinball tournaments! Two floors! Bowling lanes open with Breakfast arcade pinball darts and more all day, Open till 11 p.m.!"

"No priority for reservations, ball return is buggy and chews up the balls, don’t risk bowling with your own ball if you care about it. A minimum of ten minutes of your experience will be asking for help from a lane or ball return malfunction. Do not recommend unless you’re not serious about bowling or are blackout drunk."

"It's wonderful to have a bowling alley/arcade in the downtown area. SpareMe is a wonderful addition to the atmosphere in the Chauncey building. Stop by for a quick bite, a few frames of bowling and maybe some Skee Ball before you catch a film over at Film Scene next door."
