You really thought this was a normal pool stick and not an individual purchased one?" We are in our 20s and barely play pool. Of course we had no idea. He left the pool stick out for 2 hours along with all the other pool sticks and only yelled at my friend of color. Employees observed the whole interaction where this elderly white guy was needlessly attacking my friend for no reason. I'm never coming back to this place.

I am sure that one was not in that league however it could be a expensive piece. Most people that go to pool halls would know. Its like when people just go to a golf course without ever hitting a ball. You have to do a little work and research. Learn the etiquette. If you don't your just a pain to the people that play all the time. I bet the guys at the pool hall will be glad you don't come back. Glad went went to the race card though.

The Vista is one of the last true workingman joints on the West side of Youngstown. I've been…read morecoming here over thirty years, multiple owners, and I am still the new guy. The West side is it's own world. And The Vista is it's own little enclave on the West side. Depending on when you go, it will be anything from a Mill bar, with Gunsmoke or Highway Patrol on the TV. To on towards evening, when there may be a pool league or dart league playing. I'm pretty much happy whenever I'm there, and I know the other folks are happy I was there, because of how happy they look when I'm leaving. It's a great spot. And I'm a pretty particular person. And this is a true statement to follow: (I'm required to say this by law since, "the incident") I've always felt comfortable and relaxed when I've been here. Think of it as the old Bill's Place. Without the 5am opening time. Opens noon. Although, when Pinky owned it, Patsy would open at 5:30am daily. I knew the time exact, I could set my clock in my apartment upstairs by it. Yeah, I like the joint.

We only bowled, so I can only review that part. Shoe rental is $3 and the shoes are decent. The alleys are nice and the scoring system is easy to work. Many of the balls are beat up, but just look around and you will find one that works. Staff was pleasant and the interior felt clean. I never understand when alleys are empty, why they put people right next to you. This happened here and it's just annoying since you now have to wait and take turns. There were dozens of empty alleys, so I just don't get it.

It's a full unreserved recommend highly and take Mom and Pop for lunch too! Seriously, Westside Bowl DOES have great pizza. They got a LOT of off street safe free parking. The people who work there are friendly AND fun to look at. (not being mean, I just like green hair and a smile ) There are regularly scheduled bands. Some of which do cost $20+ to see, but it's a good concert space downstairs with a good vibe. It's not like you're stuffed into "JJ's Cave" or something. Remember Nyanhinghi? Nitabinghi? That bar that had music up on Steel street? Same good vibe. And that's really the point I'm trying to make. The Westside Bowl is an exemplar (ha!) of what could happen when good, ON SITE management means to a venue. Hit this place up for some cool and mellow times, and enjoy your afternoon. Your night. Your health. This place will make you younger, I #### you not

Alright, folks, gather 'round, because I've got a tale of a place that serves vegan pizza so good…read morethat even your carnivorous friends will want a slice, gluten-free hot dogs that will make you question your life choices, and wings so crispy, they might just be the eighth wonder of the world. Welcome to Westside Bowl--a glorious mix of dive bar, bowling alley, and quirky restaurant that feels like it was designed by a mad scientist who specializes in both food and fun. Let's talk food first because, let me tell you, this place has vegan and gluten-free options that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about food. Vegan pizza? Yes. And not just any vegan pizza--this stuff is top-tier. The crust is perfect, the toppings are loaded, and it's so satisfying that you'll forget it's vegan. The pickle pizza? I know what you're thinking: "Pickles on pizza? Are we sure about this?" And to that, I say, "Yes. Yes, we are." It's one of the best pickle pizzas I've ever had--salty, tangy, and surprisingly perfect with the cheesy goodness. Now, the vegan hot dogs--they have these magical little things that taste like they've been kissed by the gods of grill. Honestly, if you didn't know they were vegan, you'd just think they were straight-up delicious hot dogs. Mind-blowing. And their wings? Let's just say you'll be licking your fingers and possibly questioning your entire eating philosophy in the best way possible. But enough about the food--let's talk about the atmosphere, which is where Westside Bowl really shines. It's like a quirky, retro dream with an eclectic staff who are... well, let's say "memorable." The owners? Incredible. They run this place with a vision and passion that's contagious. And then there's the staff--oh boy, the staff. They are the kind of characters you'll either love or love to hate. But let's be real: they're the kind of eclectic personalities that make the place fun. Now, here's the thing. One fateful evening, I had a run-in with a security guard/bouncer that I'm not proud of. To put it lightly, I got embarrassed to the point where I haven't exactly rushed back in. This bouncer? Let's just say he took "security" to a whole new level--like he was personally invested in my awkwardness. He created a level of second-hand embarrassment for me that I will carry to my grave, calling me out for coming in with "various friends," insinuating to a full bar I was of unsavory character but wasn't dating any of them. But honestly? The food, the drinks, and the overall vibe are so incredible that I'm willing to forgive the odd awkward encounter and keep coming back for more. And let's be clear: the drinks here are almost as amazing as the food and atmosphere. They've got cocktails and beers that fit the energy of the place--fun, eccentric, and definitely a conversation starter. If you haven't tried the signature drinks, you're missing out. So, if you're looking for a place that's alternatively quirky, fun, and delicious, Westside Bowl is where you want to be. Just maybe check the security situation before you get too comfortable. The food alone is worth the occasional "oops" moment. And besides, if you're looking for a great time and amazing food, the occasional embarrassment just adds to the charm. Trust me. Go for the wings, stay for the pickle pizza, and let the vibes do the rest. Just avoid making eye contact with the bouncer or coming in with friends as he may accuse you of being a harlot for no reason.
