We had a team of 15 people that where looking for a sort of last-minute bonding experience. We found Sparians on a rainy-day in Charleston. It was quite busy with a bit of a wait, but this was probably due to the weather and also the lack of multiple lanes. They had about 12-14 lanes, which is a good bit,... More

River Bowl was a fun, kitschy place to bowl. Sparians is a fun, luxurious bowling alley with a good menu. They removed the old, hard seating and put in plush leather couches at each lane with coffee tables, so you don't have to go back and forth between your drinks and food at the table and the lane area. The... More

They've done an awesome job rennovating this bowling alley. It's great for food/drinks; bowling. We especially like the area for younger ones. Our grandson loves the mini bowling lanes; and the arcade area. The personnel is very friendly. We're very comfortable there. The other reviews are right - it's not just a bowling alley - it's an entertainment center. We... More

We visited Charleston last week and since it was a chilly and rainy night, we traded in the ghost tours for a bowling alley trip! It is by far the fanciest bowling alley I've ever seen. In place of uncomfortable benches, there are comfortable leather couches and huge coffee-table like areas to put your belongings underneath and food and drinks... More

To put it bluntly, this place used to be kind of sketchy--poorly lit with a creepy attached bar. Now, it's been renovated with upscale furniture and lighting, and the bar area is much improved. We took our kids and their grandparents last weekend as Hurricane Sandy was dumping rain outside and had a blast! We bowled, ordered food and drinks... More

Great family atmosphere in the newly renovated bowling alley. It used to have an attached creepy bar - but that is gone now and has been a replaced with a nicely appointed place for adults to sit and enjoy a conversation, a meal, and a drink while the kids are bowling! Of course adults are welcome to join in on... More

This is the most incredible bowling alley I have ever been to. Everything is so clean and new. They even have come up with service at your lane. I remember the days of no drinks near the alley. Now they encourage eating and drinking as you get in some bowling time. We love going on rainy days, sunny days, and... More

Our family visited Sparians during our week-long vacation to Isle of Palms, SC. After spending a sun-filled day at the beach, we were looking to find a fun alternative to miniature golf and found it at Sparians. New lanes, great food, comfy couches, good music, and even a personal attendant who came by to make sure we were well taken... More

exceptionally clean, great pricing, dining area is separate so meeting there for drinks and dinner (sans the bowling) works as well!
