Back to Whirlyball this time for a private event I worked with their team to organize the event and…read morethey did a good job putting the program together we started downstairs with renting a court and a few bowling lanes. We also added some large games to our space as well. We then made it upstairs for our dinner program and the buffet was amazing! Delicious and tenor serving they have a very nice event space upstairs. The staff were very nice. Two notes would just be that they had our program run on a court back to back with another group so it was ackward since we needed all those large games set up, had preset beverages and appetizers. Plus a full check in table. The other court was empty so I'm not certain why we weren't just in the other space. Then they also only had the front bar open in the first hour versus the one right at the courts and bowling where we were and other guests enjoying their time. In the case of our group it also left us separated into two since as they waited for drinks then they just became comfortable in the front bar talking. They did open the upstairs bar once we moved up there. I would book an event here again I would just make sure to clearly note some of those details and/or even book the court an extra hour to ensure no crossover even though I was able to set up 15 minutes before our event start. Everyone had a really fun time and for many it was their first time experiencing it.

Food is good but service is the absolute worst. We were the only people eating there and they…read moredidn't offer us drinks, we had to ask for stuff that was supposed to come with the food, and never once got a refill. The waitress/bar tender was more focused on sitting on her phone and she sure enough had her glass full. Although the food is really good but being treated like we are a bother when we are the only one in the restaurant portion is BS. Will never come back and will make sure people know not to come either Also while sitting next to the window, they have a bunch of dead flies on the inside. Very appetizing to look at.

This was a long time bookmark that I knew one day that I would stop for a beer and wings because I…read morelike to do that once in a while. The place is spectacular and nothing like your parents bowling alley because it's modern and shiny/clean and really a family fun destination with a huge open bowling alley, game room that's closed off probably for C19, a dark alley with laser lights, bar, restaurant etc etc. The woman who served me was friendly and took care of me right away. They have a nice little bar in the dark alley section that has a few taps so I ordered the angry orchard that was cold and refreshing on a summer day. I was going to get out of my comfort zone of buffalo wings and get a different flavor today so I ordered the garlic Parmesan for a change that was sauced and came with a blue cheese dipper and celery/carrots. I have to say that for a bowling alley the wings looked impressive and not the skimpy small ones with approximately 10 wings and they smelled amazing. My first thought after my first bite was that these wings are fuc#ing delicious with a nice crispy shell. The wings were meaty, moist, and cooked perfect with no rubbery/stringy meat like some places serve. The blue cheese sauce was a little different but still good. In all honesty I have to say that the wings that I had today was some of the better wings that I have had and better than some of the hyped places on the Milwaukee best wings list that disappointed me. That list still amazes me because Milwaukee has some hidden gems when it comes to wings that have no mention anywhere. This is an easy stop on my way home from work so this just might be my go to wing place out of convenience but it didn't topple my favorite wing place but it's right there.

The place was clean and playing great jams all night…read more When we arrived we asked if there was any bowling deals and the worker said no so we paid for our 2 games. We wanted to add a third so went up and saw they had an unlimited bowling sign up after we had already paid for 3 games. So we had paid 2x the cost we should've. Felt like we were being upsold. Otherwise it was a good experience and the beer towers were reasonably priced

Blink and you'll miss this smaller bowling alley on the northeast corner of Howard & 51st. I…read morevisited one afternoon on a weekday, and it was the quietest, cleanest bowling alley I've ever been in. There were 2 people bowling and a couple more sitting at the bar. We were at group of 4 and they let us use two lanes so we could get more games in during the hour rental period. There is an area with some arcade games, as well as several dart boards and a pool table. The business has a small town feel and does not seem like anything has changed since the 70s or 80s. They have a full bar and also have a food menu. If you are in the area and looking for a quick game of bowling, especially at an odd time, check out Lucky Lanes!

I enjoyed my first time at Classic Lanes…read more A small bowling alley with old-school-bowling-alley vibes. The staff is attentive and nice. My team appreciated all the help from the staff when we had issues with the rotation of the pins. We had beer and pizza and the food had good reviews from my teammates. It was so good that we were out by the time I was ready for a bite.

This was a really bad experience. I asked if we could do the $4.75 bowling and do two games, and…read morethe response by the employee was "you can pay $20 for all you can bowl or you can leave because I'm the only one here." I was very thrown off and felt disrespected. I wanted to leave in that moment but was with a group. Thirty minutes later, there was another bar tender... and another employee. We will never be coming back here.

I will say that i've been saving my tickets for like a year now from each time I've gone and still don't have enough for a prize bigger than a Chinese finger trap ): which is a bummer after spending over $100 every-time i go. Some of the games weren't working properly as well. I swiped my card for the basketball game only to realize all of the basketballs were stuck in the net. I am sure i could have asked staff for help but, i just decided to move on. The Mario kart i decided to play also had a broken wheel but didn't impact game play too much. So i also ignored that. Not all claw machines had prizes being restocked but i still got a good amount of goodies to take home from that area of the games!! I will say i was also disappointed to see that the only two ski ball machines were cramped next to each other against the bowling area wall. But still playable! The photo booths are so fun and a great inclusion. The 99 cent ice cream was a nice treat before heading out into the mall. Next door are two more activity centers if you feel like you haven't spent enough money already, and feel like you want a shot at air-soft shooting or escape rooms. Mid-day weekends and summers I'm sure are packed; and in past experience, with young kiddos having their own fun, and parents catching a break. Which is okay too, just not my style. Overall always a fun visit, just keep in mind that experience may vary depending on the day and time you go and what you prefer socially!

If you come with a lot of people, this is well worth the price! Even for the two of us, it was a great deal. We spent $22 (+ tax, including card activation) for games. We got nearly 10 experience games (rhythm games & Mario Kart) for our price. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back again for karaoke and to try their bowling alley.

Location is a little sketchy, and this is definitely a dive bar at its finest, but the real star of the show is the duck pin bowling located in the back. For those not familiar, it's a much shorter, elevated lane than regular bowling. Select from different weighted, softball size balls and roll it down the lane. It's much easier than regular bowling and scores tend to be high, so it's a nice ego boost and tons of fun! And instead of a machine re-racking the pins, there are teenagers that sit back there to set them up. Tips: Cash only for the bowling which is $5 dollars a person. Make sure to tip your pin setters! Its best to call in advance to reserve a lane, but walk ins welcome. There are four lanes and you can rent one or more for an hour and a half each. They bowl super late, and is an awesome spot to hang out with a group and play a few rounds! Come knock some pins down at this legendary spot!
