I had such a great time at The Loft. The atmosphere, food, and drinks were all great. I had no complaints about anything! Bowling after eating delicious food and well crafted drinks was the perfect vibe. Hailee and Mikayla both had exceptional service, and Haley made perfect drinks. Will be coming back!

I asked my wife, “Do you want to bowl?” and she said, “Yes.”

Thirty minutes later she looks at me and says, “I thought the food was ready?” Turns out she thought I said, “Do you want a bowl?” — as in, a bowl of food since I was cooking.

After a good laugh, she said she was still down to go but needed a little time to get ready. No problem — I hopped on The Loft’s website and easily modified our reservation to include an hour of bowling followed by a lounge table. The plan: bowl first, then unwind with a few drinks.

The bowling lanes were great — clean, modern, and fun. Afterward, we headed over to the lounge, ordered a few drinks, truffle fries, and their funnel cake dessert (basically funnel cake fries with Nutella on the side). The food was solid, drinks were well made, and the overall vibe was relaxed…

Until the music hit.

Out of nowhere, the volume was cranked up so loud you couldn’t even hear the person next to you. The waitstaff had to lean in just to take orders, and we were practically shouting to talk.

It’s a great venue for a date night, friends, or family — stylish, fun, and with good food — but I really wish more places realized that not everyone wants a concert-level sound system during dinner. Sometimes, people just want to talk.

Attended a party at the loft and it was a wonderful experience! The food & drinks were delicious and the bowling was a hit for all ages. Highly recommend giving this place a try. I would say they could use a bigger/bolder sign outsidr as we had a hard time figuring out where it was located at first.

Had an awesome experience at The Lofts! The atmosphere was welcoming and fun, and the drinks were on point. Huge shoutout to our bartender, Lexi — she was absolutely amazing. Super attentive, friendly, and made sure everyone felt taken care of the entire time. She had great energy, was quick with recommendations, and kept the vibe upbeat without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in what she does. Because of Lexi, our night was even better than expected. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

Lots of room for improvement.

I was genuinely blown away by the renovations the space looks beautiful and I was so excited to celebrate my birthday here with my family. We celebrated my dad’s 50th before the renovation and had such a great experience, so I had high expectations walking in.

Unfortunately, this visit didn’t live up to that memory. When we sat down, our water glasses were dirty, and our waitress never came back to check on us, so I didn’t get the chance to ask for a clean one. The food was okay, the pizza felt more like low-quality bar food, which is fine, but it didn’t really match the upscale vibe of the new space. On the positive side, the chips and dip and the steak eggrolls were excellent.

After eating, we headed to our reserved bowling lane, and that’s where things went downhill. Halfway through our game, my dad went to the bar for another round and was asked if we would switch lanes so a large birthday party could take both of ours and the one next to us. We were already settled in against the wall with no one next to us and happily playing, so being asked to move mid-game was frustrating. What made it more confusing was that after moving us to the middle, there were two empty lanes left open on the other side for the remainder of our time. It seemed like there could have been a better solution that didn’t require disrupting our reservation.

Once relocated, the large party was placed directly next to us, leaving little room for our drinks and snacks as their group filled the surrounding tables. There were also several young children in the party who were understandably loud and upset at times, but in such a small space it felt overwhelming and took away from the experience. Given the more upscale atmosphere, this may not be the best environment for young kids, or there may need to be clearer guidelines so all guests can enjoy their time comfortably.

To their credit, after my dad spoke up about the situation, they did give us a round of drinks on the house, which we appreciated. Still, it would have been nice if the issue had been handled proactively rather than reactively.

Overall, the space has so much potential, but the service and organization, especially around lane management, really need to be tightened up. I hope the staff can figure out a smoother system, because it truly could be a great place with a few operational improvements.

Very happy and excited to see this place get turned around in the right direction. Updated to near perfection with a homey vibe and class I highly recommend this place. My bartender Lexi was arguably the best tentative bartender I’ve experienced and a sweetheart.Never waited for a drink, she was genuine and a workhorse behind that bar. All the bartenders were good but every time I go she’s always on point and makes the time and money spent total worth it. Hats off to this place being a staple of Frankfort and hiring great people like Lexi!

Stopped in here as a destination date and was not disappointed. The instant you walk in you’re greeted by just an amazing vibe. We went early in the day and had the place almost all to ourselves. The staff was friendly and attentive – and accommodating to a gluten free diet. The bowling alley was really the draw though, and it lived up to the hype. The mechanics were all exposed and old fashioned and just really cool. If you’re going to be competitive you may not have the best time, but if you’re going for fun (as you should) it’s going to blow you away. Could not recommend this place highly enough.

This was our first time visiting The Loft. We came for the restaurant week burger specials and OMG, it surely did not disappoint! In fact, it was phenomenal! The burgers were all top notch! I loved mine the most…The Bougie burger. So delish! Everyone enjoyed. The ambiance, food and SERVICE were excellent! Alyssa was extremely sweet and attentive. She made our 1st experience truly amazing and we will for sure be back! Thanks Alyssa and The Loft!

Came to The Loft hungry, left happy, full, and wondering if I should come back weekly just in case Mikayla is working.

The food was fantastic, the vibes were on point, and Mikayla’s service was elite — friendly, attentive, and somehow always there right before we realized we needed something. Truly the kind of service that makes you tip extra and reconsider all past dining experiences.

10/10. Great food, great atmosphere, and Mikayla absolutely crushed it. We’ll be back.
