Went here on a Wednesday evening around 7 PM. It's located off Mt. Moriah Road in a shopping plaza. They were hosting a bowling tournament that night, so it was pretty crowded. The inside has a very old-school bowling alley vibe. Music was playing, and the concession stand is right at the front, with lanes on both sides. You place your food order at the counter and receive a buzzer for pickup. I was actually surprised by how large their menu was for a bowling alley, and they use a classic flat-top grill to cook everything. After placing my order, I stepped aside to wait. One of the cooks asked if I had a buzzer and let me know it would go off when my food was ready--it came off a bit abrupt, but nothing major. There were plenty of lanes available, even with the crowd. The bowling shoes, however, looked very worn and outdated. The laces didn't look the cleanest, which made me a little hesitant, but I still went ahead and bowled. Food took about 30 minutes, but everything came out fresh. I ordered the Philly, which was pretty good. I also tried the blue Kool-Aid, though it tasted more like Powerade. The music selection was good and kept the energy up while bowling. The crowd continued to grow as the night went on. I also noticed they host an R&B night from 10 PM-1 AM, which could be a vibe. Overall, I had a good time and enjoyed the food, but I'm not sure if I'd return read more

One of my favorite bowling alleys in the city. Tonight was extremely popular night as I think many people simply wanted a night out after the recent snowstorm. Luckily we reserved two lanes in advance. COVID-19 precautions in place. I also bought a can of Lysol and disinfectant wipes to clean the table, chairs, balls and shoes. read more

Great bowling whenever you can actually bowl. I guess they have league bowling like 5 nights out of the week. Very hard to get a lane most of the time. read more

This facility is undergoing major renovations. I bowl on an all women's league on Tuesday morning. Because the women's inside restroom is out of order right now, we have to use a restroom trailer located outside the front door, which is ran by a generator. This morning when I arrived, we could not even use the outside restroom because someone had forgotten to get gas to run the generator. Without the generator, you do not have any water to flush the toilets or wash your hands. Eventually, I guess someone finally got some gas. The place is a mess with paint, drywall and all kinds of construction equipment all over the place. It is very dusty and dirty!!! We had problems with the lanes and computers. I also saw a worker using a Vaping device inside. Apparently, the owners only think about the money and not what they make leagues go through to bowl here. We deserve better than this!!! read more

very enjoyable bowling! went here with my fiancee (i haven't given her a ring she doesn't know yet) but we had a great time!! she says that this place has great quesadillas (although we didn't try them) but she gives a good review to them. we bought an hour for each of us and it was really cheap! (only 26 for both of us including shoes!) it was a great time and we will be going back again. read more

Always packed but this is my favorite place to go bowling. They have a TON of lanes, a bar, arcade, and food! Lots of choices on the menu and it's cheap! Bowling is decently priced: $12-14 read more

This has to be the cleanest bowling alley I have ever been in. Perhaps that's because where I come from people chain smoke, drink whiskey out of jugs in brown paper bags and wear lots of denim and leather while knocking out a few strikes. Good luck getting out of that scenario without smelling like an ashtray. Regardless, it was something we put up with once a year for the obligatory "Dude! We gotta go bowling!" outing. I would actually come to this place more often- I'm not joining a league, I just said more often than once a year. The common areas and lanes are clean, spacious, there's well kept tables with attached swivel chairs for your teams and both the liquor and snack bar seem to be pretty well stocked. They've even got a few options for the vegetarians, who knew? I saw all ages here tonight as well- couples, leagues, a few children's parties and families. The prices for games and shoe rental are pretty reasonable and the shoes are clean- bonus. Now don't get silly and head up in there without your socks, they aren't that clean. read more

The bowling itself was great, the food was good, but the customer service was absolutely indefensible. The person selling lanes and shoes treated me horribly from the moment I walked in, and then yelled at me for retrieving a ball (I did not cross the foul line). In fact he did not even understand the concept of a foul line (which is concerning seeing as he works at a bowling alley). I will not be returning, and you all should take your business elsewhere. read more

Been bowling here for twenty years, they always take care of their bowlers. Both league and open bowlers. The score machines aren't the best, I wish they could have gone with a diffrent system, but the lanes are great and they actually oil them. If your looking for a fun casual league or a competing money league they have something for you. Or if you just want open bowl or practice their prices are better than most and they have some good deals too. read more

The manager Nicole was VERY RUDE * don't recommend!!! The staff very very distasteful.. the phones hadn't been working all day .. I got there she said we had to call to make a reservation. Once another staff member heard us she said they weren't working the previous day! UNPROFESSIONAL!!! She said we would have to wait 45 mins for a lane or next time "walk in" even tho she said call at first! DONE RECOMMEND VISITING * read more

Came here with my boyfriend for cosmic bowling. We had been bowling for about an hour and he went to get us 2 cups of water. Apparently they don't give out cups of water during cosmic bowling. Like wow, we're paying customers and they have the nerve to deny us a styrofoam cup with water, but gladly point out the water fountain in the back. I wear Invisalign so I can only drink water while I'm wearing them and my boyfriend doesn't drink soda, so making us walk to the back every time we want some water is ridiculous. This was one of my favorite bowling alleys, but not anymore since they only care about making money off of styrofoam cups full of soda and plastic cups of beer. I honestly didn't even want to finish bowling and we paid $28 for 2 hours, so I had to keep going. This totally ruined my night and experience. UPDATE: The bartender was nice enough to give us two cups of water, that's the only thing that saved them from a one star review. read more

Billy Hardwick's All Star Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

great bar for adults. super chill. food takes a while when the place is packed. i had a great time.

I don't drink soda or alcohol and i can't get a water. can't buy water, can't bring in my own cup to use the displayed water fountain. i don't get it. so now i am having to buy a soda to pour it out just to get some water. the vending machines don't have water either. maybe Billy's Hardwick's All Star Lane should consider selling bottled water. This is my second time here and had the same issue last time. However last time they finally gave me a cup for water after about 30 minutes of one employee telling me i could get a cup of water and the other telling me i couldn't. while being here this time there was also another guy complaint about how he could not get any water. ridiculous. read more

This is the second year in a row that I've had my birthday here and for the second year in a row it's been one of the best times of my life. The food was really good, the staff was more than pleasurable. The lanes were in pristine condition considering the amount of bowling done there on a daily basis. When we reached the end of the our second hour of bowling we still had 3 frames left. The management said they couldn't let us buy more time because there was league play right behind us. Them like magic as soon as we're down to the last minute, 10 more minutes appeared. Then when the league showed up late, they did it again and gave us 10 more min so we could finish out game. I truly love this place and will continue to go there as often as possible. My family and I had an absolute blast all around. Thank you so much. This is a Memphis institution and should always remain so. Try the Philly cheese steak, it was awesome. read more

I'm giving it 5 stars because I mean how nice can a bowling place really be? It's an old a$$ place. It's not fancy, it's not new and sparkly inside. It's rundown with 80s all over it BUT it is what it is. They have a FULL BAR! I think that's why I'm giving them 5 stars and they seemed to have decent food although I didn't have any . The women's bathroom smelled like Christmas which made me feel cozy. At around 7ish the blue lights came on and the lanes are glow in the darkish. Decent music too. I would go back here again. read more

For their 30th anniversary update: Nice updated bowling lanes, with new signage, newer computers, tables, equipment, and lockers. Would not recommend on the weekends. The bowlers in our group paid $12 for shoes and two cosmic bowling games. I was charged ten dollars just to *watch* my friends bowl. I can understand not wanting loitering at your bowling alley, but a 35-year-old woman with a shoulder injury as part of a large, paying, reserved group? I was the only one in our group not bowling. No apologies were made, no future credit, no nothing, even after speaking with the owner. I understand keeping riff-raff out who aren't going to eat or bowl, but this is a bit ridiculous. To top it off, the young boy taking money at the door had absolutely no social skills and could not explain the policy, nor was a sign with this pricing posted at the door, nor was this information passed along to our group's birthday girl when she made the reservation. I hope this is not the policy on weekdays as well. It makes me wonder, would they charge the moms of a kids' birthday party guest $10 to enter as well? (take a deep breath) All that aside, the cosmic effects are nice and made for nice photos, and the lockers and bathrooms function fine. They did run out of lighter weight bowling balls late on a Saturday evening- our group of ladies ended up with a bunch of twelve to fifteen pound balls, and we encountered countless other people scanning all of the racks for a lighter ball as well. We were informed that six pound balls are available for kids behind the desk. The computer was not functioning or scoring spares and strikes properly, so everyone's scores were incomplete. They sent someone over to work on them, but they didn't fix anything, unfortunately. My drink from the bar was nice and strong, and the bartender was super busy but still managed to have a smile on her face, which was appreciated. Not a great experience, though I've had nothing but great times at Billy Hardwick's place in the past. I grew up in this bowling alley, even had my own birthdays here, and I am sad to see the way it has changed. read more

Enjoyed my night of cosmic bowling here. It was $14 and some change per person to bowl for 2 hours with shoe rental on a Saturday night. I'm no frequent bowler but I thought this was a great deal! Mixed crowd. Good music. Fun night. Balls were abundant () and the people around me were cool about sharing and having a good time. I didn't eat but the food looked and smelled good at the table next to me. Beer was also available. Open parking. Security. Tvs showing the games. I rated 4 stars because my lane jammed a few times and we had to call for service but other than that it was a cool experience. Will return & recommend read more

First thing I do need to mention is how Nice the entire staff is at this place. The staff makes me feel bad about leaving an overall negative review, but there is much to be desired about this bowling alley. I understand this place has a long history, and I respect that. But we found the place to be very dingy, the lanes were too slippery prior to the throwing threshold, and the lanes themselves were uneven resulting in the balls my children threw taking practically 45-degree turns at times. Further, the place is not child friendly. There are no gutter-bumper options and it does not have children balls (at least we found none during this visit) so our kids had to use 8 pound balls and that was difficult. The other balls we had were filthy and greasy. I leave the review because most of this is fixable and I hope it is tended to so we can return and have a better experience. read more

Billy Hardwick's appears to be an older bowling alley in the city of minimal choices. I liked the way the layout is where you have 46 lines available(23 on each side) to bowl. I visited during the early afternoon for a team building event and bowled 2 games. The facility appeared to be well maintained and they pumped the music up where it was not too loud to allow conversations not to be interrupted. There is also have a kitchen and serve beer but my group was not allowed to indulge in this. I would like to come back and bowl the the late night bowling with the family to enjoy a weekend. read more

The bowling shoes were comfy...which is something that doesn't happen often. Lots of lanes and a decent price. While it is bowling alley food they offer lots of different options...and BEER! You don't have to stop bowling to wait for your food either. Give them your lane number and when it's ready it comes up on your board. I can't remember how to keep score so it's nice to have the computer do it for me. A fun evening with family or friends. read more

Decent place to bowl but it's kinda tight if all the lanes are full. One business practice that I think I bad...if you join your party in the middle of the bowling session you will still be charged full price even though that they don't give you the full time. Food selection is good and prepared in a timely fashion. They even have a message that pops up on the screen when your food is ready. read more

This is a very nice bowling spot. I came here on a Saturday night and everything was kool. They have pitcher beers ranging from $8-$11. You can call ahead and reserve a lane for friends. The staff is helpful and friendly and the people who go there are kool also. read more

We're from the Midwest and really missed bowling, so we were happy to find this place. If you go before 6, it's only $6.50/person including shoes. We had 4 people and finished 1.5 games in that time. This is a cute little bowling alley, nothing fancy. My one recommendation would be to eat before or bring some snacks with you instead of getting food there. The food is what you would expect from bowling alley food, not great. But I waited at the counter for 10 minutes before the person behind there even acknowledged me. I don't mind waiting but I was so confused I thought they might be closed. The portions are small but overall it's inexpensive if you don't mind the inattentive service at the snack counter. We'll be back! Would love to try one of their cosmic nights. read more

Billy Hardwick's All Star Lanes - Gutter ball - Bowling Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

these lanes are great and I don't know about peak hours but at 12:30 on a Saturday we paid $18 for 2 people including shoes, and played 6 full games. You cannot beat that price!!! Staff was friendly, place was clean, food was decent, beer was a little stale but whatever. On a hot Memphis day this is a great fun inexpensive way to kill a few hours and spend some quality time with friends or hell, hang out by yourself. It's a little older so don't expect the frills of newer expensive bowling alleys but if you're going to eat drink and play and not pretend your out at a club, this is a great spot! read more

Billy Hardwick's All Star Lanes - This guy next to us had the most intense back swing! - Bowling Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Billy Hardwick's is an older bowling alley, but it's still a good one. The prices are MUCH more reasonable than at other, newer, flashier bowling alleys (looking at you, Andy B's and Main Event), and they can still serve you a beer. There are no shortage of lanes (forty six!), and I kind of love, as a bad bowler, that the screen lamely shit-talks you if you make a bad throw. I live less than a mile from Main Event, and I still come all the way here to go bowling instead of going to Main Event. I love this place. read more

I have only been to a couple of bowling places in my life. It is a nice place. It has been around for a long time. It feels old inside. But that doesn't really matter. You are there to bowl. I would recommend the place. Go and have fun! read more

Billy Hardwick's is a pretty nice bowling alley. The Pros: The guys who run the register / shoe rentals are pretty nice guys. The lanes, bathrooms, and commen areas are always clean. It's a pretty cheap way to spend an evening. The Cons: The woman who runs the bar is a super slow bartender and getting a couple of beers can take you 10 minutes of waiting at the window. Also the juke box is typical bowling alley music. Lots of really bad county and pop songs. All in all I've never had a bad experience here. I'm not a great bowler by any means but it's nice to go out with a group of friends someplace other than a bar sometimes. read more

Came here recently, and it's awesome to see Billy Hardwick's legacy living on with a fantastic renovation that his business has recently undergone. If you didn't have a birthday party here as a child, you really missed out - so make sure your child does! Staff is attentive, facility is usually pretty clean, and the snack bar! Aside from taking a little bit of time, the snack bar is fantastic! My life was forever changed when I saw someone scooping Rotel dip into a quesadilla! Prices are reasonable, and really, who doesn't love bowling?! read more

Our lane broke while we were there. We got a game in and then the lane kept eating our bowling balls and eventually just went black. We got a good bit of bowling in so we decided to just leave, but the employees were super accommodating and it was VERY appreciated. Specifically a young brunette guy. No idea what his name was but he was super great and very helpful. They were very concerned about the issues we had with our lanes and fixed them as quickly as possible. Very courteous and wonderful service! read more
