Blink and you'll miss this smaller bowling alley on the northeast corner of Howard & 51st. I…read morevisited one afternoon on a weekday, and it was the quietest, cleanest bowling alley I've ever been in. There were 2 people bowling and a couple more sitting at the bar. We were at group of 4 and they let us use two lanes so we could get more games in during the hour rental period. There is an area with some arcade games, as well as several dart boards and a pool table. The business has a small town feel and does not seem like anything has changed since the 70s or 80s. They have a full bar and also have a food menu. If you are in the area and looking for a quick game of bowling, especially at an odd time, check out Lucky Lanes!

We've lived in the Heights for 8+ years and this was my first trip to Highland Lanes…read more First, know that it's mostly league bowling so call ahead of you are wanting free bowl. They only have like 8 lanes. Second, it's so old school it hurts (in a good way). Yeah, it's a dive but it's very clean, the drinks are cheap and my husbands rental shoes were...extraordinary. Third, did I mention it's cheap? Tito's soda -$4, High life - )3. The staff is really nice too. I'm not a good bowler at all - my last score was 18, but I had a great time here. If you miss old Falcon Bowl you should be checking this place out.

I love how the bowling videos shame you. Literally blasting "GUTTER" on the screen for everyone to see lol. Went with a group of friends. Music was ok but definitely catered towards teens. They had food and drinks and the bowling was reasonably priced.

I love Bluemound Bowl and am surprised by the more negative reviews. This is a classic, roomy, and…read morewell-lit bowling alley with a nice selection of house balls. The layout is spacious and comfortable (no squeezing by the other players when it's your turn). It has automatic scoring and leaves it at that - no music videos or meme channels. The bar area is huge. The woman at the front desk was friendly, and we've never had trouble getting a lane. The only thing that would make BB better is maybe the occasional hourly or discounted bowling rate (summer pass???) and if it was a smidge closer to my house. :)

We visited the South Milwaukee Arcade for the first time on a Saturday evening. The bar was not…read moreoverly crowded (it looked like mostly regulars), and there were plenty of bowling lanes open, which is why our group chose to visit. It is often hard to find bowling open on a Saturday evening, so we were pleasantly surprised. The drinks are inexpensive, however do know this is a CASH ONLY bar for everything - bowling shoes, games, drinks, and food. There is an ATM, but who wants to pay a $2.50 fee if they have to? Come prepared and bring cash with you. We had some pizza while we were there; the menu is all bar food, but the pizza was good and the prices for food were inexpensive as well. We had an enjoyable evening bowling and played two games with 8 people. By 10PM, we were the only people bowling on the 8-ish or so lanes available. The ball selection isn't as good as larger places, but with a bit of looking one should be able to find something that works for them. I would recommend the South Milwaukee Arcade for bowling, especially if you're looking for more of a relaxed and casual night in a place that isn't overcrowded.

You need to make lane reservations because there are only 2 - in the basement. They have bowling shoes that may or may not fit you. The whole place is full of vintage memorabilia and family staff has great pride in this place. Reasonable priced drinks and amazing hospitality! No food but they encourage you to order from a nearby pizza spot. It's been a stop for many famous folks (bands etc) but they have a dedicated group of regulars. It was cribbage night on our visit and the place was packed with guys (and gals) that still use words like "dupa". Not visiting this place would be a shame. Support this completely unique MKE business!

An icon in Milwaukee, and it took us many years to make it here…read more We have a current date night tradition to break us out of our normal rut by making our way through the alphabet by location each month, and we're on our second round of the alphabet, which led us to H. There are not a lot of H places on our list, and Holler House is legendary, so we figured we needed to hit it up now since it takes us about two years to get through the alphabet! We made reservations for the lanes in advance online, the owners greeted us when we arrived, shared some great history of the place and gave us some tips for ordering pizza from nearby Ned's (which we also had never tried) since we hadn't had dinner yet, and we had two hours of lane time. We learned that the back bar is the same as Wolski's, and once I heard that I recognized the stained glass motif flanking the ends of the bar. The two lanes are down a flight of carpeted stairs and there are four seats down there as well as holders on the wall for your drinks and a teeny women's room tucked off one of the lanes. Scoring is done by paper the old fashioned way unless you want to use an app. We had some friends who were willing to tag along to watch us and or/bowl some really low scores, and we had a good time. Max was our pinsetter and did a stellar job setting the pins back up and sending our balls back our way. In the bowling alley, you can play Touch Tunes, but we ended up forgoing the music and just enjoying the games and camaraderie. While we were bowling, the upstairs was transformed into a cribbage tournament space, and the place was full with players, but not overly loud despite the crowd. I noticed they had a selection of wines (and it wasn't the single serve Sutter Home/Yellow Tail), but expecting more of a dive bar selection I had already gone with vodka tonics, which were tasty at $5. Cathy made sure we were enjoying ourselves, and the owners seem to have themselves a great neighborhood place where they are carrying on the family history. If you haven't been and have thought about going, go. Do it.
