Was very busy for a Monday night at 6pm. My group was the last to get a lane before a wait for a…read morelane started. The lanes were average, a little close together if anything. The bowling kiosk had a lot of games on it to change up the bowling experience. The venue has a restaurant and a full bar. The bartender wasn't the nicest. My friend tried to get her attention that the water ran out and she didn't give him the time of day. I ordered a beer during happy hour but didn't get the 1$ off for the happy hour. When our groups time was up, the employees were very fast in turning over the lane for the next group. Overall, mixed experience but would probably come back.

So many games !! So much fun I have never even heard of some of these and I grew up in the 80's !!!…read moreEverything worked great spent 2 hours and less than $10 !!!

Stopped by Aftershock on a recent trip to Madison and had a great time…read more Full disclosure: I want 4 things from a classic barcade: + Pinball + Pacman + Frogger + Solid drinks Aftershock delivered! They're listed in the Wisconsin Old Fashioned passport, so we were able to get bogo old fashioned cocktails. We opted for bourbon and were pleased when she offered us any bourbon they stock (as we had expected with the deal, to only be offered rail). They're a barcade so it's not like they have an expansive bourbon list but we were pleased to be able to get Woodford. Our cocktails were beautifully made in the Wisconsin style (except with bourbon not brandy). They were everything a Wisconsin old fashioned ought to be and more. We played some pinball, pacman, and frogger and had a blast. If I were to make one tiny suggestion, it would be to have more strategically placed tables--we were constantly trying to find somewhere to put our drinks while playing. They do have some tables to sit at (as well as the bar itself) and after we were done with video games we enjoyed a couple games of cribbage while finishing up our cocktails. Get to it!

We met some old neighbors here for lunch since it was near their current home. The inside of the…read morerestaurant is pretty nondescript and actually pretty unattractive. Since it was nice outside we grabbed a shady table on their patio (again they have done little to make it interesting). The waitress was a bit quirky but she got our order in and food out with no issues. I got the Nashville Crispy Chicken sandwich which was moist and very tasty with just a bit of heat. My wife got the giant burrito which she gave a thumbs up to - definitely leftovers to bring home. Fortunately the food and the prices were so good to make up for the atmosphere.

I haven't bowled in many years and took my grandkids and others for a few games. The place is…read moresmall, only 10 lanes, and it feels old-school in a good way. At around $4 per game it is a great deal, and we saw lots of families with children having a blast. There are bumpers and animal ball rollers for the littles. They also participate in Kids bowl Free so get the app and get some free games also. The biggest surprise is the food. It is delicious! We had burgers, grilled cheese, wraps, fries, curds and chips. The pricing is appropriate, but remember that this is bar food. There is no set waitstaff so go to the bar and order your food and drinks. It will be brought to your table. Don't expect 5 star dining, but the food is really good and dresh.

If you're looking for the best bowling alley in Dodgeville, WI, look no further than Dodger Bowling…read moreLanes. This place absolutely delivers on every level--whether you're planning a family night out, group event, birthday party, or casual weekend entertainment. First off, the bowling experience is top-notch. The lanes are well-maintained, scoring systems run smoothly, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between fun and relaxed. It's easily one of the top-rated bowling alleys near Dodgeville and worth the visit if you're anywhere in the area. But what really sets Dodger Bowling Lanes apart is the food--especially the pizza. The pizza here is incredible. Crispy crust, perfectly melted cheese, and packed with flavor--it's honestly some of the best pizza in Dodgeville, WI. Even if you're not bowling, it's worth stopping in just to grab a pie. The customer service is where this place truly shines. The staff is friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. The owner, in particular, goes above and beyond--genuinely kind, approachable, and clearly passionate about creating a great experience for every guest. That level of hospitality is rare and makes a huge difference.

So many hard to find pinball machines like Aerosmith, Batman 66, Banzai Run, and many many other stern titles in limited editions or premiums, which again are not seen in the Wild very often. I was very appreciative of that. it's clear that management cares about pinball deeply and that they've spent a whole lot of money on their collection which is extremely extensive. I wish I lived closer. The environment is industrial and modern appearing, but clean and spacious with plenty of room for future expansion. The restrooms were nice. Parking was good on the street. Regarding the food, I wish that the offerings were more extensive. Basically they have a couple of types of pizza I believe and also a pretzel. My very strong suggestion to management would be to offer some additional food choices. I think that chicken wings would be an excellent start. Could you imagine having chicken, wings, beer, and all the pinball choices that you could want to play all in one setting? Game on!

It's a fairly large building with multiple spaces including the bar area, a table area and multiple game areas. They've got the classic arcade games I love like Ms. Pacman, Burger Time, and Dig Dug as well as a bunch of pinball machines and even skeet ball. The video games are only a quarter. Drinks are very reasonable and there are many beers and cocktails to choose from. This is a fun place to kick back and relax with friends and play some of your old favorites.
