I went there this Friday. I had no idea this place existed, I had such a great time! The facility was clean, staff were kind and professional. I love the old school charm. I hope this place is around for a long time. read more

It's close to home and the staff is friendly. Price for bowling isn't bad but $25 for a burger, I think not! Make sure you bring cash because it's cash only and there is no ATM. Because it's close to home and I'm able to park with no problem I'd go again. read more

Walked in and stood around waiting for a worker to come attend us and waited about 15 mins and no one came. Mind you the place was empty, so not like they were busy helping other customers. We left and went to another spot read more

Meals are pricey at $25 but depending on what you get, like the tenders and fries, the size is generous. No sanitizer but they keep the place clean. read more

The staff is very pleasant and nice. Fixes stuff quickly. Got the wrong drink from the vending machine and instead of accusing me of choosing the wrong one like most places, the man happily gave me a refund. read more

CLEARLY NOT INTERESTED IN NEW CUSTOMERS!!! I literally JUST CALLED 2/8/23, to get "group rates" and the man sounded annoyed and said "I can't do it like that. Call me back at another time...bye, bye" and HUNG UP the phone. Their LOSS, as I was trying to book for 20-50 people! Will GLADLY look elsewhere!!! read more

Well where should I start because the experience start to finish was subpar. While paying individually, there was disconnect with attributing monies to guests in the party resulting in one of our guests being skipped on the first round. The attendants were not receptive or helpful leaving us to switch names around in the system to make it accurate after going back and forth with them to release the name. Now to the balls. There were little to no lanes available to choose balls from due to them being in use. The ones available ALL were small. This was not ideal for our male bowlers. The second frame, none of our second bowls registered in the system. On the 8th frame, our lane began to spazz and reset the frame for everyone smh By this time we were just ready to go. If you have any other bowling options around, it would be best to save your money and patronize them instead . read more

It was so bad. First of all the ambiance could've used a touch. Pizza was over cooked. And that's the good part. When we started playing the sync of the pins were off and no one knew who's game it was. I've been playing for years and honestly the pins and the smoothness of the floor was all wrong. The balls would get stuck in the middle of the lane and the pins would automatically take it. Smh read more

Costs Week: $12 Weekend: $14 Just letting you guys know since it's not posted on here read more

Do not sleep on this spot it's in the odd spot in the Bronx but I love the fact you could come here pretty much almost anytime and get your ball on have a couple of drinks kick it with some friends. The customer service here is pretty much decent but it's the environments the people is the good time that everybody is having that makes the spot pretty cool on a Friday or Saturday or even during the week. the cost of bowling here is not too expensive not over-the-top is better than going down into Manhattan so if I was anybody who wants to have an itch to have a quick bowl game or just wake up with a bunch of friends are drinks good people around no drama no beef definitely check out this place Grade: B- read more

First visit and it is in the middle of nowhere (very industrial). And we would definitely go back! My family and I had a great experience. Staff was very accommodating and helpful. We were there on a rainy sat afternoon and it wasn't very crowded. A few families with young children, couples, and a group of twenty yr olds. Our shoes were on the newer side, easily found balls, and enjoyed the modern scoring screens (had lots of fun with the selfie app)! Ps. We didn't order any food so I can't comment. read more

The staff isn't friendly at all. Something was wrong with our game so we hit the reset button to fix the pins, this happened twice before the machine corrected. A staff member from the back came out shaking his head and telling us there wasn't anything wrong. Claiming that we were impatient and had to wait for it to reset. Even though I explained to him the we had waited five minutes and the machine that sets the pins had not movies. All this is fine, but what really got me was his insistence to watch us play and see if the machine would acted up again. Of course it didn't. So after he watched three people do two turns each he told us to just be patient next time. Very insulting and condescending. read more

This is the perfect place for group "getting together"s, or a family night, not expensive at all. Food is not great but passes the test. You don't go to a bowling lane to eat anyways, right? Love the music selection and love the ambiance here. Recommend it to anyone who has no plans on any specific night and want to have a good time with friends or family or whoever they go with. Cool place. Cool cool place! Ps: Didn't give it five stars 'cause they only accept cash. ((I Hate that!!!!!!)) And they also haven't installed atm machines. Sucksssss! read more

Bowlerland - Bowling Near Me - Bronx, New York

If I could give this place a lower rating, I would. We visited this place from out of town with family. My mom, who is much older, wasn't going to play. The gentleman at the counter shared that the owner decided, on a whim, to charge everyone who entered just this night, whether they played or not. What??!! They, too, didn't understand that logic and shook their heads in disapproval. My husband asked for the owner and explained that my mom couldn't play and that we would need to take our business elsewhere if charged (but that we wanted to stay). The man just grinned as he said that he didn't like my husband's attitude and was going to charge us anyway. Mind you, this entire time, we were calm and just trying to speak loud enough over the loud music. Needless to say, we took our business elsewhere. I'm very upset that we didn't trust the ratings posted here and encourage everyone to reconsider visiting. Nobody with this man's business ethics should be allowed to run a business. read more

Pro: The bowling alley is nice. Really enjoyed the selection of music. The bowlers console and the lanes are also a plus. They also have billiard tables in the front. We went on a sunday, 2/21 was about 3:30 pm and we paid about $24 bucks per game for two kids. Con: But like everyone else, the cash only thing is an inconvenience especially in our time... 21st century. Not many want to exchange cash when mostly everything is done via card. And there is no ATM on site. We also noticed and I am glad for our mask, not just me but there were four of us, that were there... there was a really bad musty odor in the place. There was no way of making any mistake on how strong that smell was. Overall, the place does look nice, music is good and there's plenty of parking. read more

Fun spot very chill and the staff was kinda attentive. Furthermore, the pricing is very affordable.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!! I WISH I COULD LEAVE ZERO STARS!!! All aspects of our experience was terrible! Let me break it down! Strike One: This place is literally in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing around it except storage facilities and big-rig truck parking lots. Very creepy, especially at night! Strike Two: They do not accept credit/debit cards and do not have an ATM on the premises. So my fiancé had to get back in the car and go to McDonald's to grab cash from their ATM. Strike Three: Could not find a decent bowling ball to save my life! Strike Four: Our lane starting malfunctioning towards the end of our first game so we had to move to a different lane after waiting 20 minutes for someone to assist us. Same issue happened again during our 2nd game so we just gave up! RIP-OFF!!! Strike Five: They charge $5 for a slice of pizza that they actually order from an off-site pizzeria! RIP-OFF!!! Strike Six: Alcoholic beverages cost $12! We were offered the option of a mixed drink or a shot. When we chose the shot, the waitress informed us that if she gives us a shot, it's measured and won't be a lot of alcohol. She said it would be better to get a mixed drink because we would get more for our money. However, I think she played us because the drink tasted as though there was NO alcohol in it. We basically payed $12 for a glass of cranberry juice! RIP-OFF!!! Strike Seven: Only provide non-alcoholic beverages (water, soda, etc...) via vending machines for $3 a pop! RIP-OFF!!! Strike Eight: Snack machines charge $4 for a tiny bag of chips. RIP-OFF!!! Strike Nine: They would not let us take out our birthday cake we had brought with us since it's considered outside food! Strike Ten: There is this really weird dude that works there that looks like he is wearing a fishbowl on his head. He walks around enforcing the mask and no outside food/drink policy. However, you can't hear him on account of the fishbowl on his head. Please find a better place to spend your money! read more

This place is wack.... 1. Cash only... I mean seriously? 2. Nastiest alcoholic beverage I've ever had ($10 for small plastic cup) smh... 3. Workers nowhere to be found to provide service lol I gave it 2 stars b/c unlimited bowling/ pizza was actually not bad tasting lol for only $20 Still... I have no interest in ever going back there read more

This place was not worth anything. Please find a better location. To start off it's smells like a veterinarian clinic. The place is very much unattended. The site manager approached us in a COVID safe helmet and was extremely particular about masks but the place was very messy. For all their "strict" guidelines, this place was a dump. The bathrooms were messy and hadn't been cleaned in days! They don't offer lots of food options, only pizza and there was barely any staff. To top it off the vending machines were stacked with options but didn't work. The surrounding area is so sketchy. They're a cash only business but don't have an ATM. I was totally disappointed the entire time here. We played one round to satisfy our kids and left. Our time was wasted. read more

I love to go bowling. So when I found this place I had to check it out. The place was pretty big. Each lane had updated monitors where you can choose what kind of game you would like to play. You can take pictures to make yourself into cartoons so whenever you bowl you can see yourself on the screen. They also had themes games on the screen along with a few others. You can also find two pool tables in the front. A bar section with food and beers. And also vending machines all around. Only thing I did not like about this place was that it was cash only. But over all the place was great. Big, updated, good music and friendly staff. read more

A nothing fancy no frills bowling alley in the bronx thats semi hidden just before the bridge that separates the bronx and Westchester. Its been years since my last visit and it looks the same except for the electronic scoring and updated floors and table. We were lucky as we came on a non league night and with weather being crappy we were able to bowl without annoying brats running around or bad bowlers who think they are Earl Anthony. The rates for each games are less then 5 bucks and the lanes are well maintained. Got just a soda from the snack bar so I really can't comment on the food . Not a bowling house that you will say wow this place is great but if you want to just bowl for fun and without much noise then Bowlerland is the place for you . read more

First time here with a group of friends. Location is pretty inconvenient; very sketchy neighborhood and I wouldn't recommend for anyone to travel by themselves on foot here. Its an industrial area so there are a lot of factories and trucks. Best way to get there is by car. Public transportation isn't close except the 5 train. According to google maps its an 8 min walk, which isn't bad but again its a sketchy neighborhood. The place itself was clean and staff was friendly. The place also had an arcade if you have to wait for your turn to bowl. You pay by the amount of games and the shoe rental is free. Unfortunately the music wasn't well suited for a fun bowling night. It was more suited for "post break up sobbing on myself" night. The food was overly priced ($6 for a small chocolate) and water which should be free wasn't. A cup of ice was $3.00 and bottled water was $3.50. Overall my friends and I made the best of it since we were there; we played 3 games. I don't see myself or my friends returning to this location. read more

So anyone that's bin here has to have felt the same way that my beau and I did on our visit here... Sketchy!!! The entire area surrounding the bowling alley is definitely questionable. I asked myself several times if we were going the right way. We both had a good laugh comparing the area to a bad scene from a horror movie LOL. Anyhow that was prob the worst part, the alley is old fashion, but in it's defense it's bin there for like 40yrs.we enjoyed our experience. It was quiet, lots of lanes,cheap and fun. The poolroom and bar space is separate and totally funky. We enjoyed the attendant, she was welcoming, attentive and really nice. The drinks a kinda pricey for the size (small) but overall it was fun, we'd return. read more

I was looking for a bowling alley that was kid friendly for my 3 year old. They have huge dinosaurs to help the kids bowl as well as bumpers. We paid $36 for a game for myself, husband and daughter. The place was also clean. Downfall: Credit cards are not accepted. The bumpers on the lanes either stay up or down. Not automatic as I have seen at other bowling alleys. Overall, my family had a great time. We would visit again. read more

Great and inexpensive place for some family fun. My boyfriend and I ventured here on a Saturday night for some one-on-one fun. It's a small spot with basic amenities. Cash only like others have stated and if you're able to grab the bowling balls with bigger finger holes, do so and hang on to them; we couldn't find any while there. Overall a great place to bowl with a good value. read more

The facility isn't very clean, they're lacking in staff and they price for 1 game is outrageous. The pro shop isn't set up, looks like a storage closet. The owners son runs it and he's never there. So if you need a new ball drilled or just to purchase accessories .... go elsewhere. read more

Cash only! Major inconvenience because they didnt have an ATM to help a customer out they redirected us to a mcdonalds far away not even a store open close by or anything. Price was 12$ per game per person shoes included.They do not serve food due to covid which is understandable but they didnt want to allow me to drink my water in peace either a man with a bubble looking whole face covering came over to tell me I had to put my water away... ridiculousness.. The place is dated but i don't mind that but for their price its annoying. read more

Friday night fun at Bowlerland. The staff was very polite. The facility is very clean. The bowling alley is kid friendly and family orientate. The pizza was delicious. Please note when you check-in on Yelp it states you get free shoe rental. Bowlerland NEVER charges for shoes. read more

Decent bowling alley for NYC especially when you consider the price $8/game per person. That beats the $50 in the City. The only minuses are the location (in the middle of nowhere and not remotely close to the Metro) and the facts that: 1) it's cash only 2) there is no ATM inside. With that said be prepared with cash-on-hand or have to walk Down a sketchy street to the local gas station and use one of those portable ATMs. The food was ok (pricey) but they only had 3 things of the list of foods : wings, pizza, nachos = good enough. Skip the bar, the drinks are small. Just get a pitcher of beer or bottled/can drinks if you need to wet your whistle Also, all of their balls 12lbs and under have small holes for some reason. I couldn't use any of them. The need to bore some Smaller weighted balls for larger/longer fingers like mine. 15lbs gets heavy REALLY QUICKLY. read more

It's a great place to have fun, whether you are bowling alone or with others. I'd typically bowl 4 games on either a Sunday or Saturday and it's flat-out fun. The machines are easy to use and, of course, the lanes are well-maintained. I have bowled in leagues, or with others in open bowling, and it's fun, especially for the money spent. Looking forward to playing bowling right now (except I'm working now so can't do it immediately.) read more

Very cute bowling alley, old school style. Went with another couple and two kids and we all had a great time. The pizza was also actually realllyyyyy good. Decent prices. I like this place for kids as well as a great place for a date. There were pool tables and a bar as well. The only downside is the location, it is kind of in the middle of no where so you definitely need a car/taxi. Other than that I had a great experience. read more

Bowlerland - Nataly & Isaiah had a blast - Bowling Near Me - Bronx, New York

Fun and convenient, this bowling alley is great for late night fun. Its opened until 2 am so it's great when you want to do something but don't necessarily want to go to a lounge. Prices are decent and the have other arcade game options. Wouldn't consume anything here other than water. People were eating food and drinking but... the food didn't look great. Def gonna be be back for some more late night bowling read more

This bowling alley is so uncomfortable to be at that you just don't feel welcomed nor either coming back ever again, thanks to the only person they have working there, "a really rude with nasty attitude blonde fat girl"... I haven't been in a place where an employee complaint so much about her job and her boss. When I got there I had to look for someone to give me the shoes and charge me because nobody was in that area. What a surprise that this girl was at the kitchen and came talking a lot of S*** like I was bothering her to see how many people we were and didn't explain one single thing. After looking for our line, I decided to go to the snack bar and ask the same girl for chicken tenders and fries, but she replied that she wasn't going to fry anything at that time and she was just selling nachos to us "IF I WANTED TO" and I was shock. I even had to wait for her to give me the nasty nachos and then I went to the other side of the place where they have a full bar but no bartender was there. I had to go and tell her and she replied to me that she was pretty busy and to wait because she was doing everything in there. I couldn't believe what was going on!. Once at the bar she requested our IDs, didn't know at all how to make the drinks we asked for and offered us beers. My companion was so pissed that he wanted to leave but I told him "NO!, that stupid girl is not messing up my day" and I paid for the beers that were kind of expensive ($10 each) for a bottled beer that wasn't even cold enough!!. We went to bowl for an hr that we didn't enjoy at all, ate some of the nasty nachos that girl sold to us and left the rest, drank the beers and just left with no intentions of going back, ever again!!. The place itself looks dirty and with that type of staff they making sure of losing all their customers; GOOD JOB!!!. On the other hand I guess it's the owners fault for not hiring enough people. I gave two stars because the place is huge but not recommend it at all or going back ever again!. I have been at much better bowling alleys where they treat you good, and there's enough employees in every area to take care of us, "the people that keep a business open!". read more

THE BARTENDER THAT COULDN'T: We came here Thursday evening and had a nice time with my family. At $20 per person with unlimited pizza and bowling it was a great deal BUT here comes the part that sucked. My husband and I stopped by the bar to get a drink and this female worker there who claimed to had bar tendered in Vegas had a pissy attitude about having to serve us drinks and told us she would have to charge us an additional fee for any "new" bottle that wasn't opened. She didn't know how to make a Kamikaze. I asked for a Margarita and she ran out of the Jose Cuervo Tequila then charged me $2 extra for Patron. When I told her why should I have to pay $2 extra when running out she said "well I already poured it in." To add insult to injury I got charged $12 for a 6 oz cup and when I mentioned the size of the cup and the price she says "those are the only cups we have." That sucks... because when we got our pizza we also got a pitcher of soda and that came with 16oz cups. All while this was going on she was complaining to a coworker about how she was over worked and how "this job is bullshit." read more

Terrible service disrespectful owner and workers. Short staffed and no food available. My family will never go here again. I could not believe the way they were speaking in front of children vulgar language. All they offered were $5 bag of chips and outdated bowling equipment. The place was falling apart, my child damn near tripped over a freaking wire. read more

Great place for bowling with friends family with kids etc. Price is cheap compared to all the places nearby. I went on saturday daytime and wasn't crowded. They hve food but we didn't order any. We order pitcher of beer $20. Easy to find parking. Definitely going back since price is soo cheap. read more

This place is literally tucked in away in the middle of nowhere. But it's nice. They do have a bar, a couple of pool tables and lots of lanes to bowl. It's kinda no frills but it's great! The staff are extremely nice and it's pretty cheap compared to other places. If you bowl early it's $6 per game and after 4pm, I think, it's $7 per game. Shoe rental is free and you can't beat that with a stick. I like this place a lot. Haven't really tried it in the evening, but supposedly according to the staff it has a nice adult vibe. I have come with just the man and the kids. It's my bowling spot. read more
