Great spot for drinks & pool. 5$ per hour for pool is a great deal! My gf destroyed me all 3 games we played . They have a bunch of classic arcade games as well. The vibe was super relaxed definitely would come back. read more

Cherry Lanes Arcade Bar - Pool - Bars Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

The Gutterball drink was really good and not too pricey; though, the air hockey wasn't well maintained (the pucks would lose momentum near the center), and some of the games we tried to play seemed broken with the controls. It would still be a fun place to go especially if you're with a group who enjoys bowling. read more

Arcade is cute. Bowling is an amazing deal. Only issue is that the pins tended to get stuck pretty frequently so we were constantly calling the bartender over to reset them. Loved the drinks. My only complaint is the food options are pretty limited, pretty weak, and definitely overpriced. Think food that can be made in a toaster oven. I want to come back to drink and bowl, but they've got to up their food game. read more

This place is super cool for something a little different than the usual Door County scene. One of our favorite spots to visit while in town. The bartenders are usually fun & attentive, the darts are ready to be thrown, we haven't bowled here yet, but the arcade is fun to pass the time! My only hesitation with a 5 star review is that there are just too many broken games. They're cheap to play so I don't mind losing a quarter here or there, but dang guys...fix the machines! We'll be back and I'll edit the review if warranted :) read more

My partner and I came last year on a busy Friday night and loved it so much we made it our first stop on vacation a year later! This place has so much charm to it! I love the concept and atmosphere so much however, we were kind of disappointed this time around. Service was fast and friendly! Lots of TVs to watch games and a very nice bar! Our drinks were only $3 and Wednesdays are free bowling nights!! We ordered a supreme pizza to share and it was one of the best pizzas I've had in a while! It was huge! The bartender said they make all their pizzas! 100% worth the money! Free bowling was fun but we were disappointed there wasn't any way to keep score? Pencils were provided but no score sheets or paper. We loved several of their games last year and were so excited to play again! Specifically their vintage hockey game is a favorite of ours! Sadly it was broken with pieces missing. Their Air hockey table technically worked...? But had little air flow so the puck stopped, the game doesn't keep track of your score and the puck return is broken so you have to give the loose metal a shake until it falls onto the floor. A few other games we were interested in playing had duct tape over them as well...The arcade definitely needs some TLC but the venue itself is charming, clean and enjoyable!! Overall, of course I would come back again! This place is so cool, so affordable and so unique! Last year this would've been a 5 star rating for me but I felt a bit disappointed this time around. I really hope they do some maintenance in the near future! Looking forward to coming back next year! read more

Holy cow, this place was so retro awesome! Totally rad! I am not afraid to admit that the games and pinball in this bar really took me back to my childhood. They had a great selection of beer and their pizza was surprisingly very very good! This was recommended by some locals and I can see why. This is another place I wish was closer to my hometown because I would most certainly spend some nights here. read more

This place is a gem for parents and kids. Old school bowling, nice dart boards, arcade machines and a solid selection of pinball machines. Also, was there on a Sunday evening and the owner was there fixing and tuning up machines. Really nice guy and you can tell he really cares about the establishment. read more

Just came here to bowl with my girlfriend while we're on vacation. DO NOT USE LANE FUCKING 2 If you want throw a bowling ball at their old Sturgeon Bay style wall. Otherwise drinks were fine....because they were bottled.....fix lane 2 immediately. Sincerely, A guy who takes bowling seriously. read more

This place is so cool! The arcade selection is top-notch, and there's plenty to keep everyone entertained for a while. I didn't go bowling while we were there but it looked like a lot of fun. The full bar in the middle is open and a great addition and they serve up a good selection of snacks as well. The staff we interacted with were super friendly, as well. Highly recommended! read more

I simply need to write this review for the bartender, Josiah. He is kind and inviting and so calm even with so many customers coming in. He was always engaging and making us die laughing. He suggested great drinks and just kept us having fun all night. He is an ASSET to this place. I hope hes getting paid his worth AND MORE!!!!!!! read more

This place was awesome!!!! The vintage vibe is great! It's like a modernized step back in time. Bowling was a blast. They don't have bumpers for kids, but they do have the metal ramps the balls roll down and that worked just fine for our 2 and 3 year old daughters. The bartender was friendly and appreciative of our business. Definitely going to bring our family back next year. The arcade games were also fun - a great mix of old and new selections. The hockey foosball is so fun! read more

We visited this place on a cold, rainy Friday night and oh my, it was so much fun! The drinks were reasonably priced, the staff was delightful, and the ambiance was relaxed and fun. The best were the old arcade games. My hubby especially loved the old Tron and Asteroids games because it reminded him of his childhood. We had fun with the pinball and arcade games as well as the air hockey table. We didn't bowl but checked out the lanes and they were so cute. Obviously it's a small area but it seemed to be enjoyed by all. It's a really cool atmosphere and we saw a lot of couples and families enjoying the space. It was one of the highlights of our visit. read more

I love games and this whole Arcade Bar movement. They have a few lanes for bowling (and you have to keep track of your own score, love doing that!), and the other side is one wall of pinball, a wall of arcade games and then in the middle other games like air hockey, pool, and foosball. I didn't have a lot of time to play games, but I did see a couple of games that I've never seen before. One was a 3D version of Pacman where you can jump over the ghosts. That was fun! I didn't drink there, but with getting a quick glance, they had some decent craft beers on tap. The bar area looks like a good place to just to hang out and relax and enjoy a couple of drinks. I'm definitely going to plan a day trip to Sturgeon Bay and make it here again! read more

Amazing arcade bar in the heart of downtown Sturgeon Bay. Great selection of domestic and craft beer, custom cocktails, a large of selection of arcade games, 4 lanes of "old school" bowling, and great snack foods! Can't wait to go back! read more

Cherry Lanes Arcade Bar - Bars Near Me - Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Had so much fun here! Hubs and I came here on a whim after being out all day sightseeing and whatnot. This place is nostalgia at its best. Came on a late Saturday afternoon and originally just for the bowling. Paid for 1/2 an hr but it seemed like it could have been longer (not complaining). Was informed by the bartender that it was free pool night! Score! Played a couple rounds of pool. The only kinda-complaint I would have is that the farthest pool table is fairly close to the middle high top tables. We kept hitting the ends of our pool sticks on the table tops. Other than that we had a great time. Old school Pinball and video game machines. Didn't get to try their food but beer was good . read more

It was fairly late when we pulled into Sturgeon Bay on our road trip. As we read through the list of places nearby to go grab a bite, my son immediately began lobbying for Cherry Lanes. What 12-year-old wouldn't want to eat at an arcade/bowling alley?! Long and obvious story short, we ended up at Cherry Lanes Arcade Bar and we had SO MUCH FUN! We bowled, ate pizza, had a couple drinks, and played nostalgia-inducing arcade games. I actually think the adults had as much fun as the kids! The menu is short and simple and good. More important than food, we left with great memories of a really fun night. The staff is also amazing and helpful. I highly recommend this well-thought out place for food, fun, or just a drink. read more

If you're a player... This is the place to come and play pinball. 12 games to choose from and all played extremely well. My new fave... Transformers. Lots of 80s arcade games as well. read more

If you are a local and the bartenders recognize you you will get really good service. If the bartenders do not recognize you you will have to wait 10 minutes to get a bloody Mary even though no One else is at the bar. The place has a cast of characters, loud screaming children, an arcade, and four bowling lanes. They do have really good natural casing hotdogs. It is an OK place. My only beef is both male and female bartenders were yukking it up while people are waiting for drinks and it appeared that service does not really matter. I so want that place to succeed read more

My boyfriend and I went here while on our weekend getaway and were pleasantly surprised! The bowling was good quality and they had a large selection of balls and shoes. We really enjoyed the old style version of keeping our score on paper. We did not play any arcade games but they looked fun too! read more

Twelve of us went into Cherry Lanes to Bowl, eat, and drink- spend money! Many of us were local. While the establishment itself is cool, due to the incredibly rude service by the bartender- we had to leave as not only could we not get waited on, but were met with snippy, "put out" responses. It was apparent that there was no effort to treat us kindly, or with any urgency. My brother in law goes there often but he was the first to say- "let's go!" A few of the games did not work right but we felt there was no way to "bother" the bartender with any of it. We ended up packing up our ball, bags, and shoes and leaving. We are hoping the service aspect might be addressed at some point. Apple Valley Lanes- here we come from now on! read more

Awesome bowling alley/arcade/bar. Old school nostalgia mixed with a modern flair. Tons of arcade games to keep everyone busy and classic paper score bowling for family competitions. The great beer list (tap, bottle, and can!) plus a full bar round out the family fun. A must stop for anyone between the ages of 0 and 200. read more

My experience was very good I had the mock tails and we played the games and went bowling the only downside I have is the small space but I think it's good for get together And the food and the cheese trays were amazing read more

Awesome night! Bowled 5 games old school style, and listened to a kick ass band play. Cheap fun night of drinking, bowling, and good music.
