Quickie: + Divey, old-school lookin bowling alley + Pretty standard alley + Ball return machines kind of old, ball got dinged up once --- Overview: Whats not to like about PV Bowl? Friday night Cosmic bowling is $21 a person, starts at 8 p.m., includes unlimited bowling until 2 a.m. and shoe rental - SCORE! Definitely a deal for me and my buds who bowl like wild people. Food/Entertainment: Rizzos pizzas are greasy, delicious and awesome to wash down with pitchers of beer. The bar has live music on the Friday nights Ive been there... usually rock bands doing Kansas or Lynyrd Skynyrd. There are 40 lanes with one half just regular ol bowling and other other half dark and black-lighty. Theyve got TVs alternating sports and TBS reruns and a variety of music blasting 80s, 90s and todays hits during frames. Verdict: It feels divey and may look a little sketch from outside with its neon sign down to just two letters now, but dont let that deter you.

I went to PV Bowl with my friends a couple days ago. Upon arriving I was excited to bowl, that would change within 10 minutes. When talking to the person working the register at the front of the store, he asked if we all needed bowling shoes. I had thought that bowling shoes werent a necessity for bowling so i asked "Do we need to have bowling shoes" at which he sneered "Is that a serious question?" "Yes" I replied, "Thats a stupid question, youre wearing a bowling shirt you should know" he stated sarcastically, "I just found this shirt in my house" I rebutted, "I really dont care" he said. This ruined the experience, youd think that the person who is the first employee you see upon entering the building would be more nice. Everything else was good, other than that one guy. When leaving he wasnt there, so I dont know what happened to him; but he needs some lightening up.

I thought I would try this place because its a little bit cheaper than Gable House, well the quality was awful, I went there when all the lanes were open and one person was bowling, they but me right next to the guy, i had to ask them to move me to a lane over, and they asked me why, i was like its because then i would have to wait for him to finish doia its called bowling etiquette....Then i have to pay upfront for 4 games. There systems are old school, hated them. Well on my fourth game it was saying my prepaid game were near. I was on the 3rd to last frame then my lane goes out, and i went up to the desk and they said that i was on my 5th game and did 3 frames, i was like omg...It was bad, just go to Gable House

PV Bowl is a nice place staffed by great people. Yes the decor and equipment are a little dated...but I would rather go somewhere that the staff makes every experience as fun and pleasant as possible. They recently changed their grill inside, with the food being SO much better. Nice selection, well made, and they have their own pizza oven too! Now on league nights, I eat there instead of on the way there! Joined a league a couple months back, and like any bowling league its full of odd characters and good people. Not to mention its also managed by the house, who does a great job of keeping all 12 teams coming back each week. Come on down and join us there!

I have visited this bowling alley on a few occasions and each time have had consistent experiences. My fiancés band has played there and we love the new stage setup and dive bar feeling. Unfortunately, the service at the bar is beyond awful. Every time I go there I have to wait over 20 minutes to get a water down drink, and sometimes I wont even get served at all. I am sad to say after my most recent experience at the PV bowl bar I will not be returning its too frustrating.

They have an Adult Jr. league on Mondays and 3 coaches for the kids on Saturdays. For kids bowling it is great and they have many specials. They also put fresh oil for the leagues. The Pizza and bear is great. Average price for bowling alley pizza but the bear is cheaper than most places and they have Stella and Hef for $4 on mondays. They are fixing the lanes, New Carpet new paint and the bathrooms have been fixed. It still looks like a classic bowling alley.

With $15 pitchers and endless bowling from 9-12pm, it’s a fun way spend a Saturday night with friends! PV bowl is run down and could use a serious face-lift, but if you can look past all the gloom then good times are ahead. It can get crowded but you can wait at the built-in bar while you wait for a lane to open up. They recently remodeled the bar area and there’s one pool table in the back. They also have a small stage and dance floor to do karaoke.

AMAZING! I had my big induction ceremony event here. I worked with Charlotte who was absolutely amazingly helpful. Everyone had an amazing time, we had a beautiful meeting room, with inside and outside space. The pizza was super yummy, the bartender was friendly and the drinks were cheap. Serioulsy, everyone had a great time, the staff was great and I highly reccomend this spot for events and just plain old awesome bowling!

Used to bowl league here. Looking to get back into it. Recently updated screens and TVs a big plus. Staff in the alley, snack shop and bar are all friendly. Clean place. I have my own shoes and ball. Cant tell you much about the house balls and shoes. Doesnt get as crowded as other local alleys. Good prices. Always have a good time here

This place was not super packed and the workers were somewhat nice but theres no manager on duty and they ran out of the quarter items on Wednesdays and everyones walking around acting like they dont know what to do when food ran out. The server was good tho n Roger at front is very imformative and helpful.

A decent place to go bowl. Its looks a bit dated but I think its part of the charm. Its actually kind of retro. The garlic bread bites here were really good. Has a few arcade games. Its a good spot if you want somewhere less crowded than gable house down the street

Bowling is always a fun activity. I had a great time bowling in the dark and listening to good music. I just wish that the music was a little louder. The fun atmosphere and pins crashing into one another drowned out the music a little.

If youre looking for a viney, retro plave to bowl, this is the place for you! It feels like youre stepping back into time. The only thing is it seems a little dirty, so wash your hands before and after.

Food was great but the counter staff was very unfriendly, very rude, and very anti family!!!! Do not visit this place if you have small children!!!! I will not bring my children to this place again...

Very well run. You can tell its family owned right when you walk in the door. Great with kids!! Lots of bright light weight balls and the shoes were all new with Velcro.

A little older and rough around the edges but is a good alternative if the other alleys are full. Has a full and happening bar in the back with live music when I went.
