Good place to pass the time with family and friends! Place was clean for a bowling alley and the lanes are well oiled and roll well Kid friendly with bumper lanes We bowl here regularly and have never had a issue read more

I'm an amateur avid bowler and I have tried to go bowling here twice now. Both times I arrived to a completely empty alley and was greeted with the "help" of some of the rudest individuals I have ever met. The first time I go on a weekday at 5pm and was basically ignored at the main desk for several minutes only to be made to feel like I totally messed up by the employee. Now full disclosure I did go home and notice that it was posted on their website so I guess my bad. So today I check the website...no leagues or events posted I leave at 3 (thinking ahead) and drive all the way there, arrive to a completely empty alley only to be told by another completely rude individual that they "had no lanes" and said I should "call before I come"!? What kind of business is this!? It's a bowling alley that only caters to large groups. If you are not part of a league or you don't book the entire alley you're not allowed or welcome to bowl there. Stay Away! .....I would strongly recommend the AMF Circle lanes in EastHaven. I have only had good experiences there. read more

Decent prices but unfortunately we had an unpleasant experience with the employee behind the counter. I didn't catch the name but he was a larger fellow with a beard and around 40 years of age. We asked him politely to put the gutter guards up due to our inexperience with bowling and he rudely refused and said we were "too old" to need that. We asked again if he was just joking around because we really needed the guards up but he again refused. This left a bitter taste in our whole parties mouth. I will not return. If this is a common rule at the bowling establishment then they should have it posted before purchasing a lane. We paid for the lane! Gutter guards or not! 2/5, will not return. read more

My husband and I took my son and his friend bowling this afternoon and it was such a pleasant experience! Amity Bowl reminded me of the bowling alleys of my youth and we had such a great time! We will definitely be back soon. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday, Groupon in tow. I haven't seen a bowling alley this packed since the 90s. We luckily had two lanes reserved, but groups of people were waiting at the door to bowl. The facilities are pretty nice. The computers were easy to use, and they had a good assortment of bowling balls. I docked a star because over the course of two games, our party had to call the attendant three times about little glitches that required a manual reset of the lane. They were prompt about fixing them though, and the staff members had a good attitude. Our Groupon came with popcorn and drinks for everyone, which were a welcome treat. For the Groupon price, it's a pretty good value. I can't speak to what the normal prices are. We had a great time and plan to come back next time we have the itch to bowl! read more

Cheapest alleys in the area, and also the straightest and best kept. No wonder the leagues flock to this place, they have professional level lane maintenance. Recently I took a lesson with Phil, one of the managers, and it was excellent. If you're into improving your game, he's the guy to talk to. In addition, I used their pro shop to get a custom fingertip ball (my first!) and they took extreme care in making sure that it fit my hand correctly. One final note, its nice and dark in the alley, most places have bright flourescent lights everywhere which is really annoying, but at Amity its a nice dim light in there so you can focus on the pins. read more

Amity Bowl - Friday night disco bowling - Bowling Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

Super fun family night! Can't wait to come back! Just a heads up, this place is quite busy. We tried to come here two days in a row (Thursday and Friday night). On Thursday , I called in advance to see how busy they were. The guy on the phone said, they should have lanes open after 7:45. We came around 8 to a fully packed bowling alley. Unfortunately, lanes would not be available until 9:30. We didn't want to wait an hour and a half so we left. On Friday , we called around 5 to see how busy they were and again, they would not have lanes open until 9:30 pm. Finally, on Saturday, we called around 4 and were informed that they have bowling lanes open. read more

Good fun. Before 6 they offer $3 games and $2 shoes during the week. The red hot sausages are also very tasty. Although the velcro shoes are incredibly wide. I really need to remember to bring my own shoes when I'm in the area. Bowling is wicked fun! read more

This is the second time I've thrown a party at Amity Bowl. It was a stag for my son, and again it was a great time! Barbara and her staff know how to throw a party! They are extremely accommodating and spot on their game. All the food is freshly prepared right on the premises by Barbara herself and trust me when I tell you the lady CAN cook! Most people think of children's party's at a bowling alley... BUT, if you're considering a adult party for any reason, call Amity Bowl. You will not regret it! Just ask the 30+ guys that bowled , ate, and drank for 3 hours straight. We had a blast! Thank You again Amity Bowl. You have not seen the last of me! read more

Has anyone else noticed that bowling has gotten ridiculously expensive nowadays? I think it's like $6 a game in Milford. What the hell? To roll a ball and knock over some sticks? Retarded. Luckily, Amity Bowl still knows how to offer a good experience at a good price. In comparison to other bowling alleys in the area, their prices are good, there are free coupons floating around (on the paper placemats at the Athenian Diner) and they take pretty good care of their lanes. They also have a full bar, and you can get reasonably priced pitchers of beer and pretty much whatever else you find to be an appropriate bowling alley beverage (martinis are not approved for bowling alley consumption). The food is, well, it's bowling alley food, so take that for what it's worth. But, even still, it's pretty bad. Eh, you can't win 'em all. It's still the best deal in the area for bowling excitement! read more

I came here on a Saturday night with two other bowling-partners-in-crime. We played two games each and also rented shoes. Six games of bowling on a Saturday night and three pairs of rental shoes came to almost forty dollars. A liiiiitle on the pricey side, but we had a blast. The lanes at Amity Bowl are well taken care of. The bowling balls are in good shape, too. There are plenty balls available, with a ride range of finger hole sizes. Balls as light as 8 pounds and as heavy as 16 pounds are available at the alley. The shoes aren't scummy either, which is a huge plus. It skeeves me out a little to think how many people have worn those shoes, regardless of how thoroughly they sanitize them! The gentleman at the counter that set us up on a lane and rang us out as we were leaving was very nice. There's a full bar and a well-stocked snack bar. Everything is clean, too, which I appreciate because I can only imagine how messy a bowling alley could potentially get [grease + nachos + beer + drunk people throwing 13 pound balls doesn't sound like the best combination ever in regards to keeping things clean]! Amity bowl turns into a disco haven on Saturday nights after 8:00PM. Sometimes called "moonlight" or "midnight" bowling, the lights do dim, a slew of rotating colorful lights come on, and the music gets blasted through the speakers. Wear light colors and you will experience an effervescent glow! read more

I have no idea why anyone would give this place a bad review. The staff is so kind. The prices are amazing. And the kids had a blast! read more

Amity Bowl - Bowling Near Me - Woodbridge, Connecticut

I bowl at Amity Bowl twice a week at least. I love it there. MOST of the workers there are nice. They have good prices and is mostly super clean. But as I said MOST of the workers are nice. The owner always has an attitude with me personally for some reason. Never smiles. Never nice. He always tries to snag an extra buck out of ya so be careful. The guy who usually works at the front desk is usually not happy. I would be there every day if they were just happy people! read more

Yeah, really cool place, busy enough to be entertaining, but small enough to be cool and friendly. Great staff and a cool little bar to hang about in after a game or two. Great find and really reasonable for price also. read more

Bowling in CT has become like a party house with arcades, fancy lights, etc, it's nice to come to a bowling alley where it's as close to simplicity. I went with some friends on a Friday night, lights and music kicked in around 9:30pm, and they weren't like blasting pop music or extreme dark like bowling alleys in CT have become. read more

A good place. They seem to have nice deals every day. Black light bowling kicked on a 9:30 on a Thursday, which was fun. (Didn't know this was going to happen but it may have been posted somewhere and we didn't notice). Place was pretty full and all were enjoying. Friendly staff. A good place to pop into and remember the fun of bowling. Wish I'd known ahead of time that food and bar are cash only. There is an ATM ($3 charge) but I would have swing by the bank that is practically next door if I knew. So learn from a fellow yelper and bring cash! read more

I had a Groupon and decided to try it and bring my kids. We had a great time lots of fun prices were very reasonable.

DONT BUY GROUPON -- For starters, we bought a Groupon for 2 hours of bowling, food, drinks, etc. Have done this before with no problem. This time around we bought the groupon and arrived and was told we needed to wait 24 hours before using the groupon. We decided to purchase extra for that night and save the groupon for another day. Fast forward, and we return, looking to use our groupon that we have already purchased. They tell us the entire alley is rented out on a Saturday night and we would not be able to use our groupon, which expired the next day. Our friend traveled up from Florida and they told us they would not give us our money back and that we need to come back tomorrow (Sunday). The manager proceeded to harass us into the parking lot. We will NOT be returning here. Lack of communication from all staff. We even called ahead of time asking to reserve ONE LANE and they stated we don't take reservations and to just come in..... DO NOT waste your money on this groupon. Place is unsanitary, honestly not worth the hassle. read more

My husband and I went here on a Saturday night. While the venue was busy we received service immediately, and a lane. The person who helped us suggested we do the special which was unlimited bowling for 2 hours for $13.50 each, what a deal! They had the black lights on which was a nice touch and the music provided a variety of genres. The crowd is diverse attracting locals and college students. Since we were in the very first lane I did not get a chance to see the whole floor plan. Parking is convenient and plentiful. We shall be back! read more

This place is great. The lanes are well maintained, the prices are great (they have specials every day). Full service place with food, bar, clean bathrooms with multiple stalls, ample parking. Can't speak to the quality of balls or shoes since I brought my own, but I am sure they are fine or at least on par with other bowling centers. read more

Unexpected fun! It's small and kinda tight, but we went on a Saturday night and there was a good mix of families, teens and 30 something's having a good time. The staff was friendly, if a little slow to fix the bumpers issue we had. They have a full bar and food set up, but it's cash only! The popcorn in mini or jacuzzi tub size is a nice touch too. Overall a ton of fun! read more

A great place for bowling for everyone. The place is pretty clean and well kept. they have shoes in half sizes too. There is a little bar and pool table for drinks. The bathrooms are clean and as well. There is a snack bar for some cheap simple foods too. read more

Went there to bowl. Person behind the desk refused to give me a lane because i was alone. Stated that it was policy that he can't give a lane to single person. I offered to pay for two people for the special but he refused. The whole place was empty and he insisted on charging me regular prices. Won't be coming back here read more

Great place, and really cheap compared to other alleys around here. The staff is very friendly and come over to talk and give pointers. I've never had the food, except for when they gave us free popcorn. Really great place. read more

Cute bowling alley but the owners and staff are surly and obnoxious. Was with a large group bowling on a Friday morning and the staff was unhelpful and threatened to close our lanes down. Sad to say won't be returning or recommending to friends. read more

I've had a few bad experiences here. Some of the people there, well mainly the older guy- I don't know if he's the owner or manager or what- are unnecessarily obnoxious. They treat customers like they're just a nuisance. I've been there several times, but I doubt I'll be back. read more

Want the truth about this place? Well, it's not a "bucket 'o blood" bar as was implied earlier (am I misreading the comments?). The owner of the past 5 years, Jan(?), is SO nice to us beginners not to mention so helpful. This is the only place we go other than having had our balls made to order where Jan recommended, the Pro shop at the Milford lanes (which also deserves a five star rating by the way). So now having the shoes and custom balls it's costing us $4.50/ea per game. We find that very reasonable. We did go on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed ... but all was in order and all the patrons were friendly and smiling. We were neither intimidated nor embarrassed with our scores of 34 and 92. Today we were up to 94 and 120something. read more

was truly a very upsetting experience, school vacation week, I brought my three children plus two of their friends..the women who stated she was the owner..was so incredibly rude to all of the children, she literally hovered around them waiting for the oppurtunity to be critical...I finally had to pack up the kids and leave as I was leaving one of the the other patrons came up to me and stated I was absolutely right..will never go back read more
