An alley like this taxes the rating professional when it comes to classification. So much potential, and yet so many improvements needed.

Suggestions:

• Hold our shoes for ransom, if you must, but ditch the pre-pay. You are losing far more money by deterring those who would otherwise play extra games than you will ever lose on play and dash.
• Why must we play with the crappy balls when we can see that you have the nice (albeit absurd) balls with pins and other novelties inside them stashed away behind the counter. At least have the decency not to taunt us.
• When you spend thousands on the décor, spend a few bucks on lane maintenance. It's not much of a game when the pin setter knocks all the pins down.
• You have a dance club and a dj booth that overlooks the alleys. Now, play something cool.
• Keep the rave-alicious blacklight bowling-pin formica and the chasing lights between alleys, but for god's sake get rid of the creepy wax-museum Blues Brothers.
• The bathrooms are the filthiest I've encountered in an alley, yet the blood and gore in the handicapped stall gives you a goth point.
• Three bars, but only one was open. Why?
• Don't touch the snack bar menu. Offering veggie dogs and pb&j is a refreshing change from the typical fries and giant pretzels.

Overall, a nice little alley. If you're vacationing at the beach (as if), pay Hurricane Lanes a visit.
