This past weekend we went Bowling at Forward Lanes in Squirrel Hill. Well...I am seriously thinking of taking up this sport. Today I went close to home Princess Lanes! I was sad to hear that their Neighbor Royal went out of business. They had duck pins there. Princess is still here! It is close and has that Retro look and feel all Bowling alleys should have. (I dunno why but Bowling needs that good old fashioned look.) Anyway I was the only one there. Which is good! I just wanted to get some game in. I practiced the new technique for years I had thumb index and middle finger. This time...the way you are supposed to thumb middle and ring finger. I also push the ball the wrong way. The back of my hand is forward. I am going to try to fix it. I bowled in high school but it was family fun nothing serious. Besides no one had Internet then so how was I supposed to know I was doing wrong? I was winning at Forward! The monitors have cartoons! You can see how you did when you step back and watch Mr. Bowling Pin do dances and stuff. I like that a lot! This is summer pricing $2.00 plus shoe rental. Bring Cash. Cards cost $10.00 extra minimum surcharge. Dont do that. $4.25 is fall and ever other time pricing. $3.00 is to rent shoes keep that in mind which is a good price by the way. All in all I played 2 complete games and rented shoes it came to be $6.00 which is cheaper than back in the day. Parents payed a lot of money to see us make fools of ourselves. Saturday mornings 9am to 11am is GREAT when you just wanna play in the slow hours. Or like today...its Monday it was like 5:00 pm no one there. Early mornings during the week is good too if you want more privacy. Everyone is friendly and you can ask them what works for you when time is concerned the best times for Leagues the best times for family etc. Princess is getting a makeover but that does not affect your gaming. They are doing Cosmic Bowling but that is at night and I like to be home. I dunno I will think on it. They dont drill bowling balls. That is why I am going to Dicks out in South Hills Village. I gotta see that selection and some shoes. I really really want to do this every week!

Worst bowling alley Ive ever been to. Me and my girlfriend went there on Saturday 4/1 around 10 pm. While getting my shoes, I asked if they were still serving food. They are open until 1. the lady working the front desk told me that I can ask in the bar area and strangely said if I have any problems to come get her. I asked why I would have problems and she said they have had the "chef" try to close down early recently when they werent busy but assured me no matter what the kitchen is still open. I walk in to place an order and immediately am told that no food can be made they are closed. This is 1030 on a Saturday night and are supposedly open until 1. I went back to the lady at the front and she said she will have him make me some food. I refused. Just what I want, some guy who i cant see making my food after he rudely just told me they were closed. I bowled my 3 games. Was not offered any coupon or incentive to ever go back. Will never go there again. Horrible customer service. Mainly on the kitchen, but the manager had every opportunity to take care of our bowling shoes, or even give me a coupon to bowl a free game if we ever came back. They just took my money, never apologized or showed me any reason to ever come back. Now I see why they only had 6 lanes going on a Saturday night. Stay away.

This place was awful. I went and had a coupon and was told the wrong price and he tried charging me so much more. The guy ripped us off and than lied about it. He didnt explain anything to us. I am a younger girl and I wanted to go and have a good time with my friends and instead I was left getting ripped off of my money. My experience was not one I want to remember. I dont not recommend coming here. The assistant manger didnt want to help at all and lied about everything. He was just out for the money. So this place is for you if you would like to get ripped off of your money and then have a assistant manager lie about what he told you.

This place is horrible. I cant count the number of times I have tried to go bowling here yet have been turned away because its "league night". Dont listen to the website about their times, I brought that up to the front desk and their response was "it lied, we cant do anything about it". Absolutely ridiculous! Ive even been there on a Friday night and was told it was league night but I could wait till after 9pm for a lane. The food is overpriced and not very good. Im pretty sure the good reviews on here are either fake or by the league bowlers...

Every time I go the lanes are all taken by leagues but there is NEVER any posting about this online or otherwise. Im so sick of driving there just to be turned away. Its cheaper for me to drive 40 minutes to a nicer bowling alley then this one thats 10 minutes from my house.

This is rated on the restaurant inside the bowling alley. Food and service was awful. Couldnt eat burger it smelt and tasted horrible. I believe the meat was bad. Stay away from the food!

Kevin Patterson

The lanes are in good shape. Minimal breakdowns. Beer is fairly priced and the food from the kitchen is pretty good. 4/5 for bowling alleys in the area.

Christopher Angel

Havent bowled here in years and wish they still had their duck pin lanes as trying to find duck pins in this city is hard. Bring back the ducks!

Bimal Bhattarai

Ashlin Burkholder

Mark Kuhn

Bill Werme

No oil on lanes at all. Total waste of practice for up coming season

Haley Colaizzi

Cheap bowling at only $2.00 a game! Great way to spend a rainy day!
