yaretzi was an amazing server quick with her service and very kind definitely made my day better !

Two visits combined for this review. First, a surprise date brought me here. We came here for around 3 PM for their Happy Hour Promotion. Beverage selections were ample. It was cleanly and gave vintage vibes. Second, we came here for a networking event. There were three servers that ensured food came out fresh and beverage orders were timely. Service kept water pitchers filled. The food was delicious. We partook in the spinach dip (the baked parmesan was scrumptious), the pretzel (excellent condiment pairing) and tomato topped pizza. Bowling game set up was easy. The screens boast cute graphic art like a flying blue fly. One can specify bowling ramps before their turn, if need be. Overall, it is an awesome, elevated, bowling experience. Complimentary parking available in the garage for Northpark Shops. read more

Might be great for birthday parties but lanes not kept up, ball not returned 3 times in 2 games. Stopped using my own ball once became significantly marked up and their balls are so deeply scratched they make clunking sound when they roll. Service and food were great! read more

The staff was amazing! And the bowling was fun. We went durning the week on a Monday and it was perfect. The lemon drop martini is wonderful!!!! read more

They have a really good happy hour, the food is good, and their daytime bowling is reasonably priced before 4pm on weekdays. read more

Great time with family and people are friendly. Clean and fun atmosphere. Food is great

This spot has one of the GREATEST happy hour specials! The drink prices coincide with the hour so 3 PM = $3, 4 PM = $4, etc! The drinks are delicious and cost efficient especially if you're hosting an event! We were celebrating a friends birthday with bowling and drinks. We got a couple of appetizers to share which seemed very on par for bar food. Nothing super special in terms of appetizers but definitely good for a snack! This spot is definitely cute for a date night or even a birthday party for young or old! read more

Bowling is fun. Love the kids bowling deal before 4pm. Food, however...that's another story. The pizza tastes like school cafeteria pizza. Bacon shrimp tastes like bacon, but good bacon. Go for the bowling, but don't expect much of the food. read more

Bowl and Barrel - This is the four cheese pizza...hummm...where is the cheese. - Gastropubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

So this was my first time at this location I've been to the Houston one and loved it . Happy hour is from 3-6 with drinks going up a dollar every hour. It's one of the best happy hour deals in town. $3,$4, and $5 dollar drinks. Only downside is the food isn't on happy hour menu just the drinks. I did get the Lynchburg sour and tropical spritz . Both drinks were good and the bartender was attentive. I'll come back again read more

Lauren is the best! She really helped make sure we had a wonderful time during our work outing. The food at Bowl & Barrel was very tasty. We tried a lot of items on the menu and everyone enjoyed everything. We had a great time in the bar area and the bowling alley. read more

Sooo my sonshines and I were in Texas for the holidays this year and we celebrated my youngest son's 16th Birthday with a family night of Bowling. We checked this place out because it was conveniently located. It was really nice inside, pretty clean, we ordered food and definitely no complaints there everything was delicious. Our waitress was very nice. It had gotten quite busy so she wasn't available often I think she was the only one working that night because we didn't see anyone else really to help with our orders. We did see folks helping her bring out our orders but as far as changes or orders or adding orders no one but her. Plus it was pretty pricey to bowl I believe my brother mentioned $80 per hour or something. He ended up paying. I tried to split it with him but he refused. All in all we all definitely enjoyed ourselves. It was just a bit pricey but definitely a memorable experience in a good way of course. read more

Bowl and Barrel - Teenager(Birthday Boi) & lil bro (sonshine don't smile much, but he was happy lol) - Gastropubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place feels like a watered-down version of what it once was. It now works best for a child's daytime birthday party, and that's about the only positive I can offer. A slightly less terrifying Chucky Cheese but no pizza. And don't be misled, there isn't bowling either. They repeatedly claimed to be "fully booked" when we called, yet when we arrived there were multiple open lanes. Instead of seating us in any of the open areas, they placed us in the single most crowded section and even acted unsure whether they could accommodate us--while half the alley sat empty on the other side. The seating layout is unreasonably cramped. Two tables were wedged between booths, leaving almost no way to get to the lane without squeezing past other players. The lights over our lane were malfunctioning and flashing nonstop, and the people in the next lane were openly vaping. When we asked to move, we were met with a sarcastic offer to "turn off the disco ball," as though the issue was us being difficult rather than the environment being inappropriate. The food used to be genuinely great--good enough that we would skip dinner and eat here instead. That caliber is gone. The current menu is pretzels, flavorless frozen hamburger patties, rubbery mystery meatballs (my son spit his out), and cotton candy. Even the cookies were burned, and when we asked for more because there were five of us not 3, we were told we had eaten the last three. So no cookies for us I guess. The lanes themselves are short and narrow, and the balls feel clunky. It isn't real bowling. The waiter called it "boutique bowling"; I call it a waste of time and money. Hugely overpriced and massively disappointing. Even the new arcade is kind of blah. When we were going to the car someone had vomited all over the parking lot and right in front of my door to get in the car. I guess they didn't like it either. Whatever they once had that made us return year after year is gone. We remember when they opened! Sadly, it's time to move on. read more

Horrible bowling establishment I've ever encountered. They store all the alley balls at the ball returns so no room for someone bringing their own ball. Large groups of 8-10 people on each lane ( all kids) Then , had the audacity to try to charge me $70/ hr to bowl ( only two of us w/ our own ball & shoes) Weekday special b4 6:00 is $10pp per hour. it was Noon on a Friday. went to check out at desk & told it was $70- had to get a mgr to show their website on what it should be. corrected it finally . Didn't eat or drink there but don't waste your mi etc unless you want a Dave & Busters" experience . read more

From the initial visit, the countless emails and the phone calls to the end of the planned 40th surprise birthday party. It was truly exceptional! The staff were absolutely wonderful. They were accommodating in every aspect of this surprise. No one may think that bar / bowling establishment food "at least I was" thinking the food was going to be just acceptable. No! It was phenomenal delicious! I was extremely impressed and very pleased as well as our guest. The only issue I had; I kept losing my glass of wine! We had a great time thanks to the staff! read more

Great spot for kids and adults. Our bartender Angel D was fantastic. Attentive and helpful. Food was delicious.

Everything was delicious & Cristobal was awesome!!! He kept our cups filled and catered to our table in a major way! Thank you for your top tier service!! read more

Bethzy was amazing! Very attentive and kind! Amazing service all around! Bowl and Barrel is always a good time!

Overpriced, pretentious, and mid as h**l. Would not recommend going here waiter tends to forget and they don't tell you how much it is at the front. They also charge for shoes that they don't tell you about. Food was awful too. read more

We came here for a company, post conference social hour. The service was excellent and friendly. They offered us margaritas beer on the tap and other alcoholic drinks, which are all well appreciated and received, The finger Food was awesome and it comprised of pizzas, hotdogs, empanadas l, nachos and crabcakes l. Net net, we had a great time and would be happy to come back again sometime in the near future read more

This is our go to bowling spot! Great for a night out for friends and absolutely perfect for family time! Great Happy Hour and definitely a Sunday Funday Spot with the family. Can't beat $10 per kid (includes a drink, slice of pizza and show rental). Can't forget to mention, they upgraded the game room! If Ruby Q is available, you should ask for him to be your server!

It's on a cozier smaller scale. Friendly staff and great happy hour! $3..$4..$5 priced by the hour. I was there recently for a bday gathering of 6 it was perfect. read more

Overall this place was nice! We had trouble with bowling alleys though because there were several issues with balls getting stuck and we had to switch lanes. The food was great! We got a bunch of appetizers. Try the crab balls and chicken meatballs. So good! The artichoke dip was ok and too thick. The pizza was good and a big portion. The drinks were pretty good. Tried basically all the cocktails. If you like bourbon, the old fashioned is a better choice as its spirit forward compared to the others. Ambience is nice! Our server, Calvin, was great and quick to respond. read more

Bowl and Barrel - CRAB HUSHPUPPIES - Gastropubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Small team from work came here to wrap up the year with a happy hour. The service was fine, no complaints there however for how saturated venues like this are becoming you begin to notice the things that aren't up to par. Food wasn't great I got sick the next day from it and it really wasn't anything to write home about even if that happened. The bowling sensors were just incorrect they would give or take away random pins just because the sensors weren't calibrated correctly. Really wasn't blown away and don't think I would mark this as a preference the next time we're looking for a fun activity. read more

*Bowl & Barrel Review* Reservations: we called the night before and we were able to get one. Service : The hostess at the front who gets you set up was AMAZING! Such a kind and bubbly personality. She was the best! The servers for the food and drink barely came around, we had to ask for water refills and they were just kinda in the back hanging around. It wasn't super busy so was hoping they'd come over more. Food: we got the spinach and artichoke dip, it was very good! read more

Bowl and Barrel - SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP - Gastropubs Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Twenty of my colleagues and I had a team building session at Bowl & Barrel this past Tuesday 6/7/23. The rental shoes were organized ahead of time (highly recommend). The food/apps we ordered were fantastic. But the icing on the cake was the service we got from Kade. WOW! We had 21 thirsty people and the beverages were flowing. I don't think anyone's glass was empty at any point. Kade was SO attentive... and accurate! So friendly and always delivering with a smile. You just don't get better service. The scores were abysmal, but who cares... lol A+! read more

Fun times with bowling! Excellent staff in all positions. Food - pricy for semi-decent bar food. Have a beer and a bowl instead.

Our server Angel was attentive and friendly, he provided great service! It was a wonderful experience :)

Came here for a company event and had a blast! The service may have been amazing bc it was a private event so take that into account. It is a really nice place though and the drinks and food were all amazing read more

What a cute bowling alley in a trendy area. Came here with some family to knock down a few pins and drinks on a Saturday afternoon. Not too crowded or loud which was perfect. The tater tots mixed with chicken tender pieces was the best thing I ate all day. Surprisingly good! Outside of that we tried a random assortment of menu items: sliders, empanadas, shrimp, etc. Service was great and drinks came out quickly. I'll definitely default to B&B the next time I want to go bowling. read more

Wow this place is a joke when it comes to service and the food? Nothing to write home about but will still cost the same as an overpriced entree at any Dallas spot. This place is an absolute SKIP. The employees here seem annoyed to be asked to do anything. It takes 20-30 minutes to be acknowledged and god forbid they remember your order correctly despite taking it on an IPad. Pretty sure the guy who served us was high (try eye drops my dude). We ordered a Margherita Pizza and he brought out a margarita 20 minutes later.... Epic Failure when none of us had even ordered alcohol. Would say it's an honest mistake and happens but he came and took the order and reviewed it and repeated it back to us correctly.... This place has worst ambience than a funeral home. AVOID if you can and just head to your local main event. They'll actually serve you within a reasonable time unlike the jokers who run this establishment. read more

Diego was a super great and attentive server - even brought out dessert for the birthday boy. Super attentive to our large group!! Bowl & Barrel is great for groups, super clean, 15 lanes, and cool vibe. Would come back! read more

I had an awesome experience here and I gotta say Braylon was the best server I've had at any bowling alley/bar. He definitely deserves this review and this place is awesome!! I'll definitely be back read more

Great overall experience, well maintained lanes, solid food and beer choices, and excellent attentive service from Angel

We were here to eat only, did not bowl. The pretzel was very big , enough for 2 people, it came with cheese dip and honey mustard. The Dog Pile was 6 sausage-type hotdogs with toasted buns, was really good. I was full after 3 hotdogs and took the rest home. The rib-eye steak sandwich did not have much sauce and came with pretzel buns. Overall small menu with limited selection read more

We sat at a table in the bar area for at least 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. Eventually, we were motioned to sit at the bar instead. While waiting for a lane to open up, we ordered drinks, but the bartender had zero personality, barely interacted with us, and only checked in once to see if we needed anything else. I ordered an Old Fashioned, which was served in a lowball glass filled with half-cube ice. As expected, it quickly became watered down. Once we finally got a lane, we went 45 minutes before a server even approached us--by that point, our hour was almost up. Overall, this experience was disappointing, and I won't be coming back. read more

Hands down my new favorite happy hour in Dallas! Great location. Great vibes. We did not bowl but I'm definitely going to bowl next time! Usually I don't expect much for a happy hour food but you HAVE to get the grilled green chile cheese bites. BOMB. Their pizza was huge and also the pretzel, so great portion sizes! Service was excellent as well. You can't beat $3 at 3, $4 at 4 and $5 at 5 for happy hour. Side note, they do funnel cakes RIGHT! read more

We hosted our son's birthday here and Madison, Taylor, and Raylin were so helpful and gracious. Raylin was good vibes and everything ran without a hitch. Def recommend hosting a party here. read more

I only have one good thing to say about this place and that's the Pink Lady cocktail. That drink was very good. The lemon drop martini was not even remotely lemon-y enough. The fries were undercooked, floppy and greasy. The buffalo chicken meatballs were mostly breading and not spicy at all. The selection of balls for bowling wasn't great either. We've been other places that had a better selection of sizes and weights. Plus $55+ for 2 people to bowl for an hour?! That insanity. read more

Angel. What a guy! He was great! Got us taken care of. We will be back and we will hope that he is working. Definition of customer service.
