Greenway Bowl has that classic bowling alley feel. Nothing overly fancy, but that's part of the appeal. You go in, get your lane, and just have a good time. Whether you're going with family, friends, or just trying to get out the house for a bit, it works. The lanes are kept up well, and everything runs smooth for the most part. You're not dealing with constant issues, which makes a big difference when you're just trying to enjoy yourself. One of my favorite things is the galaxy bowling on Friday and Saturday nights. From 10pm to 1am, it's unlimited bowling, shoes included, for $25 per person. The lights, music, and overall vibe make it a whole different experience. Definitely a good move if you're going with a group or just want something a little more fun than regular bowling. It's a good mix of people too. Families, groups of friends, and casual bowlers all in the same space. It keeps the vibe fun without feeling chaotic. They've got food and drinks available, which adds to the experience. It's not gourmet or anything, but it does the job while you're there. Staff is solid. They keep things moving and help out if something comes up. Only downside is it can get crowded, especially on weekends or evenings, so you might have to wait for a lane. Overall, it's a reliable spot for a good time. Simple, fun, and a nice local option when you're looking to do something different. read more

Reminds me of a mom & pop alley. Family friendly but the music wasn't so loud or vulgar. The food took about 45m to come out after we ordered and they only had 4 options of beer on draft. It was difficult to put our names on the board. I think there was something wrong with our kiosk so we had to ask the staff members to input the names in for us. The prices were very reasonable. Not upscale but for a random family night of bowling and you're not trying to break the bank, this is the place to go. read more

Fun place to go for something different to do. It's close to home and a bit less expensive than the bowling alley in Annapolis. It seems newer and they had a wide selection of bowling ball sizes. We had fun! I'm not sure if the balls are sanitized at either place, but that would be nice. I took my own sanitizer. read more

The alley itself is a decent place. But sad to say the open bowling prices are too high for family fun. Will be costly for a family of 4. But for tournament play it is a very good place to bowl. Shot was not easy but hitable for bowlers. It is definitely speed control driven. The pit has plenty room for all bowlers. So leagues do not be to crowded in the pit. Seating is enough for everyone. Snack bar. Was one of the best fast and decent on the taste of food. Little pricey which I though South of Jersey things would be slightly cheaper. But overall worth while . read more

Went here for the first time recently and my wife and I had a lot of fun. Prices were fair and staff was very nice. Definetly going back! read more

Been here a few times but never left a review. The place is big enough for a crowd. The staff is friendly and helpful and the lanes and bathrooms are clean. Have to visit more and post some more reviews. Since pandemic, they have been very accommodating with lane spacing. read more

Quick bowl. Lovely staff. Clean establishment. Played two games and had a small problem getting the second one started. Staff helped right away and were super nice. read more

Stopped by during the holiday break to give it a go. I couldn't find my favorite ball...11 lb. However, I couldn't really look thoroughly seeing as how so many folks were here from what appeared to be leagues...bags everywhere and I ended up at...the end (lane 40). The customer service was efficient, especially since I had to request a little dinosaur ramp for the little guy. Though he really didn't need it. The food is affordable and it always seems welcoming when you enter. The 7" pizza is a great deal for kids with a small drink. I think it's great place for the family to have some fun; also their arcade is available as well. I had the hotdog w/ fries! Hey, why not :-) read more

Greenway Bowl - Always ready to throw a few "X"' - Amusement Parks Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Greenway has been a go-to for my family for years. What we love is how many lanes there are to bowl on, I never have counted but there's at least 20+ lanes. Our last visit was a party of 10 with 8 bowlers. We paid by the hour, around $40 per lane for 4 bowlers on each lane. Everyone had a great time despite the Meh customer service. Employees are never over friendly. At times can be down right rude. But for the bowling experience, clean bathrooms and price. Not a bad time at all. read more

Worst customer service experience ever! Staff did not honor our reservation and then gave away another lane that was promised to us. The response "my bad, I messed up!" The manager was no better, so unpleasant and unprofessional. Skew looked like she was dressed for bed. I will not recommend this place or patronize them again! read more

I came here with 9 other friends for their Saturday night Glow Bowl. What I Love: *The parking lot is pretty big. *I appreciated the diversity in their customer clientele which reflected in their music choice *Their music spanned from country to r&b to pop to hip hop to alternative. It was awesome. *The bowling alley brought about nostalgia. It looks like the alleys from the 90s. *The staff are very helpful, knowledgeable, and quick to respond. *The food and drinks are pretty good and reasonably priced. *Most importantly: it was $20 per person. That's it. $20 included your shoes and unlimited bowling from 930p - 1a. Things to Keep in Mind: *Their Glow Bowl is pretty popular. To guarantee your experience, I recommend reserving your lane(s) in advance. To reserve, you must pay the price of 2 players. For us, I paid $40 for each lane. In return I was given a tix per $20. As my friends came, I gave them a tix and they gave me their $20 which replenished the reservation fee. *The lights are turned down a bit but not enough to glow. It was brighter than I thought. So don't come wearing light colors expecting to glow in the dark. *Bring cash. For it to be 2019, their bar and grill only accepts cash. Definitely an inconvenience so come prepared. Overall we had an A+ time. I definitely look forward to coming again. read more

I had a very enjoyable time. This is a good old school bowling alley with modern touches. It was a good day of bowling. The food was decent and the bathrooms were clean. The staff were all nice and very accommodating. They offer several packages and it was easy to pay and purchase more lanes and extend our time. I would definitely return. read more

The lanes were poor quality. The oil is very greasy and it messes up the bowling balls. Lots of parking spots but not enough lanes. Games are super expensive.. almost $7 for one game on the weekend. read more

Dope spot, air hockey, TVs, real bar, and pizza is better than most chains. Good kids birthday spot also. read more

The snack bar nor bar accept credit cards. Today they got an ATM that is out of service. The restrooms smell bad. On two previous occasions the snack bar has had horrible costumer service because the older lady is grumpy and seems to hate costumers. Today the bar and snack bar had better and younger attendants. They were out of limes but made an amazing Long Island Ice Tea. Other than the restrooms the place is clean and has great potential but it is overpriced and their summer Kids Bowl for Free is a rip-off. They do accept credit cards to pay for bowling but cannot give you cash back for any other transaction in the bowling alley. This is Bad because today my family and I were planning to spend the afternoon here, bowling, eating and having a few drinks. Now we have to cut our plans short because the lack of care this bowling alley has. There is no music not music box, the atmosphere is blah/lame. This place has so much potential but everything they lack shows the lack of care to provide their costumers a good time. No Credit Card acceptance now days is unacceptable, there are even apps for that. read more

My fiance and daughter treated me to some bday bowling. Came here this past weekend Sunday to be exact and wasn't particularly thrilled with the atmosphere. It was really non exciting maybe Sunday are slow days but definitely wasn't crowded. Music was playing but nothing to get you pumped like music most bowling places play. The girl who was servicing us looked to be in the teens and less than thrilled to be there. I get it you may not have the best job in the world or some teen issues going on but at least look/play the part at work. Her facial expressions said I don't want to be here. We got our lanes and like I said Sunday might be slow days as there were some elderly people and a large family there. The decor is ok but my gripe is the computer system they have. The touch screens were totally off when inputing info where you have to stab the screen with your finger to recognize what you want it to do. We had to call the poor girl over twice because she had to reset our lane manually. Why isn't there a reset option on our screen to do it ourselves? The character screens for strikes, splits, spares etc were very lack luster it didn't give you that AHA! I did it feel jus made it feel blah. I had my first turkey ever! (Three strikes in a row) all that popped up was a standstill turkey lol. I've been to way more lively bowling alleys than this. I may come back on a lively night for them just to see if I was wrong. Prices are decent though and there's some arcades, short order and bar. read more

Greenway Bowl - My first ever turkey! Bday luck??? - Amusement Parks Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

Came here with my family and friend to randomly bowl on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere was pretty chill. Of course when going out with my brother and sister alcohol seems to be involved. Hahah. There is a full service bar towards the back of the building. I got a pitcher of bud lite for around 12 bucks. They also have a small arcade and billards. The pricing wasn't bad as you pay for your games when you are done. I believe it's under $4 for shoes and $4.65 per game. Overall I had a good time and mane give cosmic bowling a try...maybe as I am not around this area frequently. read more

Nice place. Food was good (I love me some bowling alley food) and the lanes did what they were supposed to do (not a pro bowler, people). Clean, good music and fun. read more

I hadn't been in Greenway for about 15 years but ended up there for a birthday party for one of our 6-year-old's friends. It's cleaned up a lot since the 90s, and they've got modern scoring equipment (flatscreen TVs! Touchscreens!) and the lanes are well maintained. The staff was friendly and accomodating for the big crowd; they got the food out to everyone and cleaned up -- no small effort for ten or fifteen kids (hard to keep track). I'd certainly come back here for stuff, but for a smaller-kids party I'd recommend Severna Park Lanes (owned by the same people) -- they have DUCK PINS. read more

This place is a great location to come with a group (for events or parties), as well as for a fun date as a couple. There are a ton of lanes, and have a pretty good bar/food counter. It's about $10 for shoes and lane rental, which is a bargain! This is really family friendly too. There are bumpers and ball guides available for little ones if needed. There are restrooms on both ends of the alley, so when you need to take your little ones for a potty break, you don't have to go too far. This location is cleaner than most bowling alley's I've been to, which is a major plus for me. The staff are friendly and very helpful. They're always smiling and came to aid us every time our kids ball got stuck on the lane. I thought they'd get irritated with always having to come over, but she was always eager to help. :) We've typically come here on Saturday afternoons, and we are normally able to get a lane right away. Though, you can call ahead to check lane availability, or if bowling leagues are utilizing lanes, etc. You are able to pay a small fee to reserve lanes (should you come with a large group) if necessary as well. read more

We went bowling on a Saturday night and ended up staying later for cosmic bowling. Its a nice bowling alley. Everything functioned properly & the beer was nice and cold. The food was what you'd expect from a bowling alley. It was cheaper than I expected too! Unlimited cosmic bowling was $20 read more

Greenway Bowl - Fun times! - Amusement Parks Near Me - Odenton, Maryland

I love this bowling alley. :) I chose this one over the others in my area to go to for my birthday a few months back. Their late-night weekend bowling is pretty much the same as far as entertainment goes as the others, but I choose here for the lesser-crowds and personable business operations. I can call here and reserve lanes without too much hassle, even on their busiest nights. They're also open later than the other alleys in the area, which is a HUGE plus for me. :) Their alcohol selection isn't stellar, but is IS a bowling alley, not a bar. :P read more

A decent bowling alley. Nice bar. An above average snack bar. A great place for family and friends to get together.

First time visit and it won't be the last. Be warned, if you want to eat and drink alcohol, bring cash. There is an ATM that's a bit finicky, but after a reboot I finally was able to get cash. Next visit, I'll just be sure to have cash on me. Sat in the bar and met two of the nicest bartenders. Day staff was pleasant and even let us change the TVs to watch soccer. Nite staff person is a bit more challenging. But after asking a few questions, you'll find her to be one of the nicest people around. Incredible sense of humor once you get chatting. She has stories to tell...so listen. We had so much fun, we forgot to bowl. The food was great. Affordable, fun, friendly, clean, accommodating place. read more

It was fun! The music selection could have been better but for a night of bowling WITHOUT the kids, it was a relaxed atmosphere! I would definitely come here again. They need to update their marketing for their late night bowling. Originally $16 but the changed it to $20. Other than that, great fun! read more

I have always been a fan of the Greenway bowl. When I was younger we would frequent the Friday & Saturday night rockin' bowl (still available) for $20 a person all night long with shoes included. Lately, me and my group tend to stop by for their Wednesday special which includes $5 bowling from 3-5pm and shoes for $5 if needed. The reason I am giving Greenway a 3-star review is based on two factors (maybe one star for each?). During this 3-5 special, and often more than just this time frame, they don't have a bartender. You must constantly go find someone of the staff to inform them you are looking for a drink, just to wait until they, or someone qualified, can make their way to behind the bar. Secondly, the food and drink services are cash only! This may not be a problem for some but in our evolving world, people can throw a credit card reader on cell phone. So what's the delay at greenway? They do have an ATM Machine close by, however, there is no bank affiliate so you are forced to pay the ATM fee on top of the costly prices of their drinks. If your just looking for a nice bowling alley to go with friends or even a date, Greenway can be that place. Just don't leave the cash at home. read more

My students hosted an event there which we all had a grand time! The bowling alley itself is generally nice, clean, current, and roomy. I liked how the bowling balls were strategically located. The scoring center for each lane were computerized that was user friendly. The staff at the front desk were friendly. They've got some good deals for you and your family/friends. The arcade needs some updating and variety. Otherwise, don't bother with the arcade. The concession area could use some updating with some enticing food and drinks. Other than that, it's a good place to go bowling. Be sure to check out the assortment of deals they have for you. read more

Decent looking place. Not too crowded the few times I have been. It does seem a bit steep for prices of games but that discrepancy is easily drank away. ;-) Fun place good staff decent snack bar. read more

Had a work party here and it was WONDERFUL. The staff is on the ball - pardon the pun. They all teamed perfectly together, making for a smoothly run event. The pizza was better than I had anticipated and oh, how we all grooved to tunes from Grease, being sung by Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. Lots of fun, colorful graffiti designs along the walls and their Corporate Party Specials can't be beat. Looking for an office morale event - this might just be it! read more

My friends and I come here quite often (2-3 times per month). Today was the first time in a while that I came on a Sunday. The parking lot was packed but once inside it wasn't that busy. I guess there was a tournament on the other side of the alley. We were able to walk in and grab a lane and bowl our three games. The only downside to this visit was when we went to pay we literally stood at the front desk for a good 5 min before we were even helped. Easily could have just walked out without paying. There even was a girl behind the desk that saw us who was on the phone the whole time. She could of at least acknowledged us and told us she'd be right with us instead of looking at us and continuing her phone call. This was a little rude. read more

We go here every year for NYE! The party is from 4:30 to 6:30 with the countdown at 5:45! It's perfect for kids! They do rock-n-bowl and hang out glow necklaces to the kids! They also have the arcade with a big air hockey table. They have a cash bar and the pizza and fries are delicious. We love this bowling alley! read more

It's pretty big and the lanes are nice. A lot of the balls seemed really worn in the finger holes and most of the arcade games didn't work. But there are usually lanes available despite there usually being a crowd and the staff is nice. read more

So there are some negative reviews that are - well they are ok on the surface but there's more to this place. We are here on a Sunday. So to start we did have an issue with the ATM but they started it over and it worked itself out. We probably won't even make it over to actually bowl, just hanging out in the bar with Miss Tess. At first glance she might not seem that friendly but if you talk to her at all you'll see she's an amazing person and has a fabulous sense of humor. We had a grand time and will come back. read more

I have been bowling at greenway since 2007 the people that work there are nice the problem is the HVAC nice renovations didn't bother doing anything about the A/C if you go and visit make sure you take a battery powered fan you will need it for sure . As far I'm concerned bowling centers ,malls , movie theaters are supposed to be cold in the summer time not hot greenway is very hot in the summer I won't there for summer league until it gets fixed better off going to Crofton it's cold in there. read more

Went there A group of friends rather enjoyed our time there at the bowling alley was clean and it was pretty quiet for a Saturday night. I will say we did want to stay one more game but the cosmic bowling was getting ready to start so we weren't able to bowl a third game. Other than that the food at the bowling alley was exceptionally good for bowling alley food. read more

Clean bowling alley! Modern equipment, shoes, modern lanes, balls and decor. Even snack bar was decent, clean and modern! I would recommend it. Its not a trashy place and defitnely child friendly. We will be back! We were pleased. read more

Cool, old-school looking bowling alley in Odenton. We went here on a Friday night after leaving Crofton bowling since it was $22 for 10-2am bowling... we weren't planning on bowling ALL night so we said forget that and went to Greenway where it was around $4/game and around the same for each pair of shoes. We bowled a game on the end and got a couple pitchers of beer and nachos. Typical bowling alley stuff! They were playing radio rap/R&B some of which was pretty bad, but for the most part it was tolerable. There was only one girl working both the bar and food area, but she handled herself well as it wasn't too crowded. She made me a "tall" mixed drink when I asked but it wasn't very strong. Overall it was a nice time and I would definitely go back here next time I'm in the mood for bowling. read more

This place has awful staff. We ordered 2 kids hotdogs, chicken strips, and a cheeseburger. They took 45 minutes and forgot a hotdog. Had to wait another 15 minutes. The lanes are too close together and it's overpriced. Never.again. read more

The lady at the snack bar on Sunday nights may be the most miserable human in the world. ATM is broken which is fine, I hate cash anyways but, in a horrific turn of events, the snack bar (of which the aforementioned most Princess of Pleasantness is the keeper) is CASH ONLY. Well paint me green and call me Timmy, that's an amazing business model. It makes as much sense as paint me green and call me Timmy. The bowling is fun the people, just wish we didn't have to play "the worst score has to go get the next round and deal with the Queen of the Kingdom of Broken Dreams. Direct quote, " I'd like to get a pitcher of beer and she said " WHAT!? Why!?" Made it seem like I asked her to lick my bowling balls. read more
