Its my favorite bowling alley of all time. The guys who work there are beyond pleasant and accommodating, and infinitely patient. Seriously you will find no better customer service at a bowling alley. Prices are great and reasonable and the lanes are well spaced and maintained every week on the week. Theres pool tables, a bar, and its right near the trim station and downtown Oak Park. They play great music, classic rock most days. They allow outside food if you ask; if youre broke but hungry they even have cheapy pizzas for like 8 bucks. Leagues meet each week but you might be able to grab a lane on those days if youre quick. Its fun to watch besides. And finally group outings are great and easy to reserve with a simple phone call. Best ever bowling alley! And Ive been to Hillside, Brunswick Zone, Fireside, Lawn, Bluebird, you name it. Theyre wonderful at Circle. Hit those lanes!

Went here with my family and it cost us around 30 dollars for 2 games and 3 pairs of shoes. Thats way too much for just an hour of entertainment. I could bring my family to North Riverside theater and see 2 movies back to back for that price. Also, we couldnt play bumper bowling with our son to teach him the game so we got a refund. I still wasnt compensated for paying for parking though. Just not worth it.

I love coming to Circle Bowling. Its reasonably priced and I tend to go in the late afternoon on a weekday so theres never a crowd. For years I had been looking for a bowling alley and the ones I did find were pricey. Im so glad I found Circle Bowling Lanes.

Lived in the area for so many years, had no idea we had this awesome bowling alley right off Harlem Ave. The place is charming, it comes off as old and dirty but its very relaxing inside and best place to hang out with your peeps.

This is a low key bowling alley many people dont know about. It is cheap to bowl and the atmosphere is great. I know sometimes parking is hard to find. You can even have birthday parties and fun all in one.

i LOVE this bowling alley its the perfect place to relax and have a good time. the only thing i would say is dont judge a book by its cover it may not look too hot on the outside but it ROCKS on the inside

Amonst 1950s interior decorating are well maintained bowling lanes with electronic scoring. Refurbished pool tables. Adjacent Bar has imported beer. Clean restrooms. Fair prices. Recommended.

Sure this place looks like it hasnt been touched since the late 70s, but the lanes work great and its super cheap to bowl here. Also theres a good selection of pool tables as well.

I hate to spread the word because then itll be as crowded as Lincoln Square but we love this bowling alley and the hand scoring. No neon. No auto-scoring getting it wrong.

New look! Theyve updated the seating area with new hardwood and a ton more space to sit and walk around. Also new ball dispensers. Done tastefully and no raise in prices. A+

Pretty close from my house. I visit this place often. Nice location for enjoying bowling on weekdays/weekends. They also host bowling league if anybody is interested.

Love this place for good old fashioned retro bowling. They just did a few upgrades, and the place looks great.

Besides being cash only, good times. Old school bowling, billiards, and bar. Best (only) place in the area.

Love this place! Great prices and attentive employees. Theres never a wait no matter what time you go.

Sara Guzman

Not crowded, the price is decent, its cash-only but no music. Its really a great place for kids!

This place is pretty old school. Usually quite and hardly ever anyone on the billiards tables.
