There isnt enough I can say about Bayside Bowl. The staff is wonderful. The building is gorgeous. The food is great. The beer selection is always broad but not too broad, and the service on the lanes and for the lanes is superb. Bayside has received a lot of press recently for the new addition, the rooftop bar, and the taco truck - so I wont go into great deal about those, but theyre awesome. The cocktail menu is the most un-bowling alley menu Ive seen in a bowling alley. Everything on it, that Ive tried at least, has been delicious. A couple favorites of mine for food and drink have been the pulled pork sandwich, they had a brisket sandwich for a bit, the mac and cheese, and for drinks, the Pinsetter and the Fixer Elixir (which is spicy, so heads up). As of writing this, the roof bar gets extremely busy if the weather is nice, and doubly so on Fridays. If you are looking to check out the upstairs, Id recommend getting there right when they open if you can.

This place is amazing. My girlfriend and I took a bowling vacation from Pennsylvania and this was the destination stop after seeing it on the professional bowling tour. This place is aesthetically perfect, the drinks were good, the tots were delicious, and the lanes were beautiful. Unfortunately my bowling ball got some scratches and battle scars from something on the lane machine but the owner made it up to me by covering our bar tab and letting us bowl longer. This was a great stop that didnt disappoint and I loved spending our entire evening here.

Bayside Bowl just got renovated and now it looks sharp. There are two areas downstairs to bowl and hang out. The bar downstairs is also where they host musical events. The space has really opened up there and allows people to enjoy the bar and the music. They have a small mezzanine area which is great for smallish groups. Then theres the rooftop bar which will get a lot of action in a city like Portland. Bayside really made a space everyone can enjoy.

Went here a couple of weeks ago with some friends. Food was phenomenal, and bowling was a lot of fun. Staff was professional and efficient, and the place itself was clean and inviting. Prices were reasonable for food of this quality. Would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun outing.

Beautiful facility designed for people who love to bowl! The picture is the view from the mezzanine. There are bars both upstairs and down. Upstairs is designed for comfort with a large screen t.v. for viewing the tournaments. Downstairs is designed for live action and socializing.

People come for the bowling and music, but they come back for the food. The tot poutine, loaded veggie chili nachos, and lobster grilled cheese with sweet potato fries are my favorites. Word is the fried chicken, wings and pork cigars are the best in town. Great staff, great vibe.

the new remodel is gorgeous! there is an actual parking lot now, twice as many lanes for bowling, and a rooftop bar with great views of portland. if bowling isnt really your thing, there are cozy nooks for socializing, tasty food, and the whole place is very tastefully styled

The bowling is great, if you can get a lane. The popularity of this place is its only problem. Aside from that, the food is good and the drinks are strong. Long tables and benches make it decent for groups, and live music gives it a fun atmosphere.

WAY too much for what you get food wise. If you want to talk to your party this place isnt for you either. (music too loud).If its nice out and you want a beer and dont mind a plethora of bros... This place is for you.

We went there to eat! While we bowl there occasionally, the foods good enough to just go and enjoy their dining room - and they have a vegan-friendly menu so theres something for everyone in the group :)

This place is great! Leagues, casual bowling, food, drinks and music. Its right across from where We work at Portland & Rochester Pub, so we have a great spot to go in the neighborhood.

The new build out is amazing! Nothing is better than rooftop tacos prepped and ordered in an Airstream served with a sunset view, next to a toasty fireplace.

Its a great place to unwind after a long day! Besides the bowling, there are a few arcade games. There is a rooftop bar and a taco stand on the roof.
