We went late on a Saturday night (9pm or so) and got a lane right away. There are plenty of game themes to choose from and the music was current! I would come back here again. Sadly the food was closed but the bar service was great. read more

My fiancé and I had an amazing time bowling here on our day date. I was so impressed by the design of this bowling alley with its 31 lanes. The staff was incredibly friendly, and having a bowling store on the premises was so convenient. We've been to the shop several times, and now it's the only place I go for my bowling needs. read more

Popped in, briefly, to attend my GodDaughter's birthday party. Although the party room is tucked away in a hard to reach spot, everything else seemed pretty cut and dry for a bowling alley. They had a bout 4 arcade machines (1 didn't work), 2 Claw machines, and a pretty cool punching bag game. All the kids appeared to enjoy the bowling and the bowling alley seemed pretty clean. The staff was pretty meh, nothing too special. Just seemed like they were doing their job. I ordered some fried mushrooms and they came out pretty quick. They had a jug with water, in the food area, where I'm guessing everyone serves themselves. A few parents were in the bar area, which looked nice. Overall, just a regular bowling alley. Nothing great or outlandishly bad. read more

It's an A-Ok place to bowl if you're south of L street. Even though we waited over and hour to get our lanes for a birthday party and was promised two games we only got in 1 because we had to be off the lanes by 830. While we waited, we went to the bar and there was a 69th birthday party happening and thEy ran out of almost all of draft beers. We had a few malfunctions with our particularly lane not registering bowls. Food was good buut kind of overpriced. read more

Went there the other day with a group of 10 people for open bowl on a Friday night. Called before we came and was told the open bowl was first come first serve and nothing could be reserved. Okay, no big deal! We got there and went up to the lady at the front to see if they had open lanes, they did not so we put on names on the wait list. The woman was less than nice and let it be known she was annoyed with having to deal with so many people. We decided to go wait in the restaurant area and order food. We went up to order food and the woman taking the orders was extremely rude. She acted as though we were inconveniencing her, spending $150 on food for 10 people. Nothing was specialty ordered or anything like that. She was busy, which I get, but she did not have to be rude. Did not think it could get much worse until the food came out. It was TERRIBLE. Don't get me wrong, I know it is a bowling alley and did not expect a 5-star burger, but for $13, McDonalds would have been better. read more

We went there with a group, and it was terrible. Be careful! I purchased one Truly and the bartender overcharged me $80, so now I have to deal with the fraud and file a police report. I tried to contact the manager and they hung up on me. Stay away unless you want to deal with credit card fraud read more

Throughout high-school, I was part of a bowling team for the school. After having issues with Western Bowl not oiling their lanes properly, our team decided to transfer over to Mockingbird for our weekly practices. Throughout my countless hours spent here, we never had any major problems. We held many practices here, as well as, Monday night bowling league. read more

We have just got home from being kicked out of the bowling place. The management is horrible, their equipment is outdated cause the pin protector not move up at all. They blamed is hitting a ball against the rail accident. They shut down our lane with 30 minutes left for hitting the rail and the management didn't tell us. Instead they just turned off he lane without saying a word waiting for us to leave. Save your money, go else where read more

The place itself isn't that bad, the lanes are nice. It's not super roomy though. If you have more than 4 people you feel pretty cramped. The food was large portions for a fair price as well. I feel like the bowling itself was pretty expensive. It was 40 dollars for the two of us to cosmic bowl. That's a lot to just bowl. We also had to wait a long time to be able to begin bowling. My problem with this place is the weird rules. They told me that you can't get water in here unless you pay for a bottle out of the vending machine. I talked to table next to me and they said after asking for an hour they were finally able to PURCHASE a pitcher of water. We paid 20 a person to bowl here during cosmic bowling so you should be able to get all the cups of water that you want! I don't think I would come back. My group kept calling this place stingy, and I would agree. read more

Babystting three kids under 12 for the weekend, looking for something to do that a) amuses and 2) involves food (of course). Per the website's recommendation, Friday I call to double check that there's open bowling Saturday. "Of course", they say, "all day, from 9:30 a.m. until midnight." When I arrived with my charges in tow, the (very friendly) guys at the counter inform me that open bowling is available, but only until 1 p.m. Fine...it's 11 a.m. I can make that work. After all, I'm also there for the fried fatty snack bar treats. We settle in and get our game started. I collect our food orders (cheeseburgers, hot dogs, french fries, fried mushrooms and gallons of soda under the guise of small, medium and large). When I get to the snack bar at 11:30 a.m., it's completely vacated, so I ask the (again, friendly) guys at the main counter if food is being served and they promise to send someone over. Snack bar lady...super friendly yet frazzled. She takes our orders and we're back rolling balls down the alley (missing pins left and right), looking forward to our Saturday afternoon fried meal. 11:45....12:00...12:15....12:30.... how long does it take to throw all those items in the fry basket? Answer. 45 minutes. We got our snacks (finally) and wrapped up our second game (in time for the 1 p.m. cut off). $65 gets you: 6 pairs of bowling shoes, 10 games of bowling, 2 hot cocoas, 2 med ice teas, 2 sm sodas, 1 hot dog, 3 cheeseburgers, 3 large fries, fried mushrooms and fried cauliflower. Gonna try out another bowling alley next time. Had a great time, but hated that we had to be out by 1 p.m. (after verifying over the phone). PS - Get the snack bar lady some help! read more

We just got home from celebrating my 10 year old's birthday at Mockingbird Lanes. I reserved a birthday party package for her earlier in the week. Super easy. Quick phone call and per my choice I stopped in that evening to pay my deposit. The party was set to start at 1pm. We arrived ten minutes beforehand, and everything was already set up. Cups, plates, balloons, and even a Happy Birthday message on the TV screens. The front desk people were super friendly and helpful. The grill staff, not so much. First trip to the grill was to order food/snacks for the adults. The young man working could barely ignore his cell phone enough to take our order. Second trip was to ask where our pizzas were (included in the party package), and we were told they would be brought up to our table after the first game was completed. Didn't happen. We received both pizzas halfway through our second game, with only about 20 minutes left for our party. The bowling was fun, and the kids had a blast. I took two stars away for the sub-par grill service. I would NOT have another birthday party at Mockingbird Lanes. read more

On a family vacation to Colorado Springs, we stopped in Omaha for the night. I felt the urge to bowl and found Mockingbird Lanes...nice place! Fun! Cosmic bowling was going on when we got there, and that was cool--I'd never done that before. If you're out this way, give it a try. read more

3 stars for how expensive this place is for not much. My boyfriend and I paid $40 for the two of us on cosmic bowling night. Most of the time the employees are nice. The food is exactly what you would think bowling alley food would taste like. I've seen reviews about having to pay for water, most of the time there's a huge thing of water sitting out, you just have to ask for a couple cups. read more

Cool place but whoever is playing the music is probably wearing Cookie Monster pajama pants.. wish they would play some classics like "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley. Maybe even "Africa" by Toto here and there. read more

Not a good experience here. We actually left after a.) seeing that there are actually more games to play at any random Buffalo Wild Wings; b.) realizing that I wasn't going to be able to endure the smell of grease and rubber; and c.) our kids decided that they would rather play at the hotel pool that bowl/play/ eat here. It looked pretty spendy too- particularly for the area. For anyone else that may be optimistic about this place because it says Brunswick (as in Brunswick Zone), don't be. read more

Great deals during the week that appeal to college students. Plus, the staff puts up with drunk students trying to get Rick Astley's hit single "Never Gonna Give You Up" to get played. Thankfully they choose not to rick-roll the entirety of the building. 5/5, 11/10, they kick butts and provide a great deal at the same time. read more

( R U D E ) For the first time in over a year I invited my family to join me to go bowling. I have had many great experience in this location. But yesterday the employee behind the counter getting people in was so rude. I skimpily asked a question "Hey, just wondering why is it that you are taking names down then 2 seconds later you call them up" (nice voice) & he thought I was arguing and rolled his eyes and acted all tough. Like really dude? I honestly know if I would want to go back such manners that that bold guy had. read more

The atmosphere was alive within this establishment. The technology is out dated, but the bowling was fun. However, they will not give you free water; you MUST buy it because the owner doesn't want anyone to use their cups for their own alcohol. I understand that, but if someone is buying alcohol already, then give them a cup of water. read more

Nice place. Fun time. Maintenance man is a jerk though. Just started cleaning our lane without asking us. Took him like 10 minutes and we had to stop our game while this was happening. read more

Three stars for the 1$ game on Monday nights. Beside that there is nothing exceptional about this place, it looks pretty old but decently maintained, the bowling balls seem round. read more

Really bad service and a really bad attitude if you are Spanish I pay $36 for 3 games for my girl and I and the girl on the counter only give me 2 my brother and I went to talk to the girl Jessica and she was really rude from the beginning with me and my brothers! This is the last time for me and my girl coming to this place I don't recommend mockingbird used to be better before read more

Rude and no customer service! Prices are crazy, to be treated poorly. We had a miscommunication in an event we thought someone had called and planned but Mockingbird had no clue. So we were basically just people coming in off the street but because we mentioned the event we weren't allowed to bowl for an hour until we had 6 people on a lane! If we weren't meeting other people there, I would have left and gone where I'm treated better!! And $1.10 for water? Umm why?? Will not be returning! read more

I'd rather pull my teeth out and suck on lemons than go here again. The bartender was rude, grumpy, and old sack of poop. I'm sorry, but $7.70 for a Dixie sized cup of Captain and Coke is ridiculous. When I'm handed a cup that small it better be from the doctor's office for a urine sample. It's a shame that your bartender sucks because we planned on bowling and staying a while. 0 stars. read more

My birthday today. Looking for something fun to do after dinner with my family and we decided to go bowling. It was last minute, so we looked online for lanes that were open after 9PM. We had been here before and had a great time, so we decided to try here first. Online it said the lanes were open until midnight. Plenty of time to get a game in. We showed up at 9:30PM and the employees were leaving and said they were closed. Wouldn't give us a reason - they were just closed. Rude! Will never try to go here again. read more

I made the decision to go there for my birthday, but it ended up as a nightmare. It seemed like it would be a fun place for my family. We got there a little to early before the league bowling was over. So we just stood around trying to kill the last 15mins. My baby starts crying so I go clean her bottle and ask for a cup of water from the counter. The lady trys to charge me 25 cents for the cup of water. But I finaly she just gave me a cup so I could fill up the bottle. We try feeding my daughter in her car seat but she was being fussy. Then my brother in law points out that there is a open table so my wife went and phyically handicapped friend went to set down because there feet were beginning to hurt. My mom (much older) walks on the floor didnt even sit down just steps on a corner of the white floor and a league bowler yells at her and tell her dont walk on the floor with your dirty street shoes. Then I tell the league bowler why does she have her street shoes on ( because she is about to leave). She gets really mad and tells us that we shouldnt be over here and we are disprupting the league. We tried to explain that the only reason we were over there was because of the baby and my friend. Which she gave some snotty respose and the fighting became worse. She ended up calling my wifes mother( who just died less than a year ago) a bitch. My wife runs off in tears and a employee wering a grey polo with no logo or name tag comes up laughing and then applogizes for her behavior. I tell him he has lost his business from us because we are all leaving. I go comfort my wife and try to put my baby in her car seat then. The league bowler walks by and says "way to pull the baby and tard card". She says this right in front of my friend who is physically handicapped not mentally. This really made everyone mad so we go complain to the manager ( who was no where in sight for this whole argument) and tell him what has happened he says dont worry I will take care of It. The other employees were smileing. Overall the employees there were rude and the place wasnt even that great. I would not recommend anyone come there. It is not a family friendly environment. read more
