No non-sense bowling. As long as you know how to count and keep your own score, this place is great. Remember to bring quarters for their arcade games and pinball. Impressive beer selection for a local bowling alley as well. The staff is always helpful and usually quite generous with their rates for bowling.

Bowl or dont... soothing sounds of pins falling and sports talk abound. Drinks are cheap but there might be a "No girls allowed" sign outside but youre there for fun and camaraderie anyways, no need to try too hard on finding a girl to take home tonight. Relax with the regulars and feel the love.

This is a small old fashion bowling ally. Maybe like 10 lanes and a bar. You keep your own score here, but if your having trouble doing that, the bartender was a great teacher. Theres a jukebox to keep the music going. We had a group and it was perfect for us. Would definitely go back.

This place is the best. Small, intimate, hand-scoring only (if youve never done this, dont worry. Its very easy and can be learned with a basic google search), good jukebox, cheap beer, friendly staff, and insanely affordable. I try to go every weekend.

Extraordinary people. Excellent atmosphere. Had my sons college graduation party here. 60 people bowled for three hours with open bar. Total cost was $862.25. Recommended. You will be not be disappointed. Even the older crowd bowled and enjoyed.

Loved this place. Honestly I was a bit skeptic but this place is fun. We decided to bowl different states for vacation and I was impressed with this little place. Super nice people and very welcoming. Recommend to anyone!!!!!

I am sorry I love to bowl cheap and I think the service is really great. I love the classic old school feel but .... I dont usually have allergy attacks. I literally had to leave before our second game. Needs a GOOD clean.

The service is awesome. The lanes are always cleaned up and always general on time with the times and dates of the services. I would definately recommend to more people for when they want to do group bowling.

Ive been to several kids birthday parties here. They have friendly staff and serve beer to keep the grown-ups happy while the kids go crazy.

Fun 8 lane bowling alley in downtown chicago. You keep your own score so make sure that at least 1 person is moderately sober while scoring!

Fun bowling alley with a real community feel. The place probably hasnt changed cosmetically since the early 80s and thats just perfect!

I love this old school bowling alley, unfortunately it can be hard to get a lane. I would call ahead to make sure you can.

Low tech, hand scoring, and real wood lanes!! Great ownership has kept me coming back for several years.

Pretty good Bowling Alley. Laid back atmosphere with a bar and a fair selection of bowling balls.
