The Westside BloNo is Normal's all-in-one entertainment complex: duckpin bowling, a Toptracer driving range out back, a whiskey bar, a pizza counter, and a BBQ stand called Westside Smoke, all under one roof. Great concept on paper. The execution is uneven. The amusement side delivers. Duckpin bowling is a fun novelty if you haven't done it, shorter lanes, smaller pins, no easy strikes, and the driving range bays out back are heated and roomy. No complaints there. The drinks were fine too, nothing memorable, but they got the job done. The food is where this place falls apart. I ordered a BBQ platter from Westside Smoke and it was some of the driest, saddest barbecue I have had in recent memory. Whatever meat was on that plate had clearly never met a smoker with any real intention behind it, dry enough that I gave up and left half of it uneaten. I don't do that often. This is the kind of BBQ you should be embarrassed to put your name on, especially at a spot whose whole pitch leans on food being part of the draw. This could have been a legitimately good BBQ joint attached to a fun activity concept. Instead it's a fun activity concept that happens to also serve food, and you should order accordingly. Our bartender also seemed genuinely unhappy to be at work, which is its own specific skill to project while pouring drinks. Eat before you come, or eat somewhere else in BloNo, and treat this as a place for bowling, the range, and drinks. Would come back for the activities. Would not order the food again. read more

John, the man who assisted us, was very kind and helpful! He ensured we had the accommodation we needed fir our event. Ben was our server. He was awesome! Always patient and making sure all of our guests were expertly taken care of. We rented one garage space and an open air space next to the garage. We received 3 buckets of golf balls per hour for our group. The pizza, wings and drinks were also amazing. I highly recommend WESTSIDE BLONO for any of your event needs.​ read more

This is a great event venue. The food is good and a lot to do. Plus a great selection of drinks. read more

BloNo Pizza - Gold Range - Pizza Near Me - Normal, Illinois

We always enjoy the atmosphere and food when we come here, and the service is great too. This time however we were disappointed in the fact that there were no left handed clubs. When we asked staff they said that all of the clubs get stolen. This is just me suggesting that a different policy be put into place so that clubs don't get stolen and everyone who pays to play is able to. read more

The bowling alleys do not keep accurate score. They routinely stand up a pin that was knocked over with the first ball in a frame. This led to two strikes being taken away from a bowler in a single string, plus many other occurrences. I would estimate 2-3 mis-scores per person, per string. I was told there was no way to edit the score keeping to accurately reflect performance. They should provide paper and pencil score sheets for patrons who want a reliable scoring method. read more

Had a fabulous experience last night! We hosted a State Farm double retirement party here and everything turned out really nice and the service was exceptional. The food was great and they kept the pizzas coming all night. People had a great time and we are so grateful to the team that took care of us. Special shout out to Emma and Josh for taking such good care of everything. Thank you! Page and Craig. read more

Came here with my in-laws for a fun afternoon of bowling and pizza! For someone who gets overstimulated, I would recommend bringing earplugs or headphones as it gets VERY LOUD, very fast. It's fun with the families bowling, but the machines are close to each other so it's just ALOT. We didn't play on the putting green but it was a nice option. The pizza was delicious! Loved the beer selection, just wished they had the sour beer! Our attendant was very attentive! read more

This is a really cool concept! The facility is beautiful with lots of options for activities. We did bowling, but also checked out some of the games in the side room. I found the bowling to be a bit overpriced, but it was worth it to entertain our kids for an hour. Our server was doing her best, but it seemed like it was just her managing the inside and outside areas on a Friday afternoon that many people had off for the holiday. She was definitely hustling and I felt so bad for her! The food we got was good, but unfortunately we were missing some sides. Even once we asked for them, never ended up getting them. We didn't have time to ask again as our kids were getting antsy to leave. We didn't see or hear much out of our server after we got our food, as she was stretched way too thin. We would try it again, but hope management sees this review and reevaluates staffing levels! read more

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere, food and games. We make this a monthly visit. Highly recommend to others.

Very nice people. Wonderful indoor bar/restaurant area. For golfers, the Trackman system is great, but the mats are very beat up and the balls cut up. read more

We love coming by with the kids for a bucket of balls and a pizza. Food is a little slower than ideal but worth the wait

got there to hit golf balls with my daughter 4:30 to 5:30 we ordered drinks and food right when we got our balcony before we even sat down he brought our drinks and we didn't see him again till 5:10 pm he than brought out our semi hot pizza than a different person came to us so we asked for container and bill. so we only saw our server once.. someone else finished us off disappointed I could have order more drinks maybe even another bucket of balls but we just wanted to leave by than. Poor service wasn't really that busy.. disappointing ...last time we went there before this they didn't have any BBQ just chicken everything else was out. So this place is becoming a crap shoot on service or food. Hope when people go they get better than we have.. food is good when they have it there and service is better but seems not of lately. read more

This review is for the bbq available Friday thru Sunday! The bbq is a BloNo secret! Everyone needs to come try the BBQ! I ordered carry out by phone. I order a pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw! The coleslaw was creamy with a good tang and crunch! The homemade coleslaw was on point and really good! The pulled pork was moist with a nice smoke flavor! The bbq sauce served on the side was good too! Good bbq at a fair price ! I'll be back for more bbq! Make sure you order by 5pm or they may run out of bbq! read more

Taco pizza delivery order through BloNo website. It came without toppings. Was told would give another pizza if we picked up after I paid $16 for delivery. Was also told to contact delivery service if wanted refund. Even tho the delivery service didn't forget to put toppings on. Manager didnt. want to get on phone so had a girl tell me what manager said. Don't bother not organized and not professional management. Lost a customer for life from all services and gained a lifelong bad review. read more

Had my birthday party here in the whisky lanes room! We had a total of 13 people and it was perfect. Comfortable seating arrangement. It was very loud though so I think we all left with a headache after three hours there lol. The food was AMAZING! We ordered the five meats with three pints of sides. I will say those portions of meats and sides were a bit smaller than I expected, but again it was delicious and everyone was happy. My dad got chicken wings and his face eating it said it all. The pizza was also absolutely delicious!!! Will definitely be back, again was just a bit more expensive than I thought with already paying $100 per hour for the room. Lastly, our server was so so attentive and made sure we were taken care of. read more

had a reservation for a bay and it was not ready for 15 minutes past our time. Nobody came to take drink or food orders despite me even going upstairs to tell them. After 30 minutes someone came and at that point we had no time left to even order food. we had to leave at our end time so we didn't even get an hour of play time. read more

Service was great, food was good, ambiance was good. It was busy and there seemed to be a lot of staff on hand. The only real issue was that the kid friendly games didn't register when the kids hit the ball a lot of the time. read more

We brought our 3 grandchildren. To have lunch and play duckpin bowling. The staff was excellent, very friendly and helpful. The ordered food was served quickly, correctly and was very good. The wait staff was excellent and attentive. Unfortunately our experience with duckpin was not great. Our lanes, 1&2, did not initially work correctly. We lost almost 15 minutes of our 1 hr. Lane time and could not seem to recover it. When we could finally play, Lane 2 experienced problems with laser alignment several times causing game delays. The staff attempted to help but were regularly busy with other customers. This happened on Sunday, between 1 and 1:30 pm when it became very busy. In general, the experience was okay but the eqpt. needs TLC and the customer suffers frustration for this. read more

This was such a great option for our family. We have a toddler, and this was a great way to go out to do something fun (duckpin bowling) and have lunch...and all in the same place. This was our first time with the bowling (we're already big fans of their pizza) and all of us had fun. We will definitely be making this a regular family fun spot! read more

We recently visited here for a work event and had an amazing experience. We had the Butcher's Dozen and appetizers and all of it was fresh, hot and flavorful. There was plenty of food for all (12) and even had some to take home. The service was excellent and pricing was within budget. We will definitely plan our next event here again. read more

What a wonderful place and people! We went to bowl and have lunch - Lucy greeted us right away and took great care of us! Very helpful and friendly! Then Joseph was great and got us drinks before we headed to eat! Abby made sure we got all we needed for BBQ! Well done all! We definitely felt special being there - they truly care about their customers! Well done! read more

Our family hit up the daily buffet, then went duckpin bowling. Chili, chicken, and pizza were awesome, and bowling was a blast for everyone! We're totally regulars now! read more

I love coming here. It's great practice and a fun time to enjoy with friends. The food and drinks are great and same with the service. I'd love to go maybe once a week but it's a little expensive to go that often. I think it would be great to see some sort of membership for discounted rates or pay a subscription for a certain number of hours of rental. read more

Like every other visit, the staff was great and the food was amazing! As soon as we arrived, a tornado warning was issued and the staff calmly ushered everyone into the building. The servers continued to be attentive as the storm passed. The atmosphere is perfect for all ages. We always highly recommend this place! read more

Everything was great but the duckpin lanes really need some work. No headpin, games resetting mid-game, balls stuck in back of lane

I ordered the fresh prince pizza & they forgot to add the balsamic glaze drizzle that's included as a main pizza topping. also I paid extra for extra pizza sauce that was not provided. the pizza is bland without the glaze & extra sauce, I actually had to go to Jewel to buy balsamic glaze to make it taste better. probably will not be a returning customer. pizza was ready on time & server was friendly but I didn't receive what I paid for. read more

Well the food was awesome, the service is needing attention. Our server didn't seem to know anything about the place even though he carried around a tablet. He did check up on us frequently. I asked him about the price of the golf range he had to talk to the check in girls. I chatted with her and got a bucket of golf balls. Later discovered that they only provide putters, seriously!!! What a joke! $12.50 more and I got a club. When we got done they gave us the bill. They tried to double charge us for the bill. Luckily I had got the receipt for the golf. They wanted to charge me extra because we had a range with furniture! Every where you look had furniture. Few didn't Can you actually tell me that you can charge $700.00 for a ounce of liquor (Read the drink menu in the back) but you cannot provide furniture for all areas! Seriously!!! They did fix the issue and was happy with that. I do see myself coming back but only if I have my own clubs. read more

Our server Mackenzie was fantastic. We had a few pizzas and they were all great. Took our nephew and family Duck Pin Bowling and all had a great time. read more

I love Weside Blono. The golf and the duckpin makes it fun for all ages. Food was great and came out promptly. I am a big supporter for what Westside Blono has to offer. We celebrated my son's 18th Birthday party there and him aned his friends had a great time. read more

Food quality is tragic. Owner needs to do do better. Do they just send out literally anyone they find off the street to take your order? read more

Planned duckpin and then stayed to golf. The bowling was really fun. Golf would have been better had the host or our server had told us the heat was working and how to use it. Only after we were packing up and I asked if the heaters were broke did she say "oh it's on the wall, you didn't know?" We did not. But now maybe others will. We will return and hope for Turkey to be back n the menu. read more

We went as a group, and had a great time, eating and golfing! The waitress was very nice, and the inside has a great design!

Such a fun place! The food was delicious! We had the buffalo chicken dip and I think it was made with smoked chicken, which took it to a new level. The brisket sandwich was awesome. We also had three types of pizza and one was the bbq pork they were all delicious but that was our favorite. We rented a garage, a little pricey but you get your own space for the most part. Love all the updates, makes such a difference. The technology for the golf games may need upgraded a bit, it did not pick up many of our balls hit high, we would have to re-hit. The Angry Birds game was fun, but playing a course was more difficult. Overall we will be back for sure!! Thanks! read more

I'm tough on pizza places, as o grew up surrounded by amazing pizza in the south burbs of Chicago. This place serves up some great pizza for Bloomington. Fun ambiance - like an adult playground. Will be back, read more

Cool place for an event or a gathering. It for sure doesn't have the best pizza, but it's still pretty good compared to what else is around it. BloNo reminds me of the arcades with pizza, kind of like Chuck E. Cheese's for adults. People still bring their kids here. The pizzas come in many styles including one that is vegan. Atmosphere feels like a sports bar mixed with Chuck E. Cheese's. It has the bar in the middle and a pizza buffet, which is good for families and parties. There's also slots. Came in at lunch. It wasn't that busy but it still took awhile to cook a pizza. Good specials are going on a lot. It had shots at $3. For sure pizza is the main thing of course. We had the Vegan Again, which is the plant based option. It's $10, which isn't bad. This came with banana peppers, green pepper, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and tomatoes on vegan cheese, and it was actually a pretty big pizza. Good place for a group. It has a pizza buffet so it's convenient for those who will be eating a lot. There's also lots of entertainment such as a golf course, video games, and slots. read more

Hannah was an amazing waitress. She needs a raise. Hannah was incredibly attentive to us through the night. She was quick with refills, brought our food out quick, and was incredibly kind. She made the atmosphere feel so welcoming! Definitely recommend BloNo and hope you get Hannah as your waitress! read more

I love coming here. its a good time with family and friends. Good food, drinks and service. The ambiance is great - highly recommend!!

not bad but the overall experience could have been better... the waitress did not know much about the menu items and couldn't answer questions, she also brought us a drink we didn't order and kind of had an attitude about it... the hospitality could have been better... maybe it was just an issue with that particular server read more

First time playing Duck Pin Bowling and it was a fast-paced engaging game for our family. Great atmosphere and we enjoyed the pizza buffet.
