We came for a friend's birthday party. The food is just okay. The lanes are blocked off two at a time which is kind of nice so it gives you more of a secluded feel rather than sharing a party with the whole bowling alley. It's neat that is downtown, if the food was better might want to visit more often. As it is, it's just okay. There are closer bowling alleys to our house with better food. The pretzels and cheese are good, but they don't give you enough cheese so we had to order another side of cheese ($3 I believe) and by the time we got it, our pretzels were cold. They should just give you less pretzels or give you two small cups of cheese or a bigger bowl of it. The nachos were not great (I included a picture, the little bit of cheese you can see in the picture is literally all the cheese on them). The chips were hard (not crispy/crunchy hard, but stale hard). The stuff on top was not evenly dispersed and there wasn't much cheese on them either (not sure what's up with the lack of cheese here, but if you have to, just charge an extra $2-3 and give people more cheese). My husband liked the sandwich he got, and the kids liked the pretzels and cheese until the cheese ran out. The dessert pretzels were pretty good too. This place has potential. Maybe if they step up their food game it'll be 5 stars one day.

Bowling alley

I loved maple hall when I visited! This bowling alley was classy, unique, and fun. I'd highly recommend going here if you're in the mood to bowl in Knoxville. I went here on a Thursday around 8pm. We had originally wanted to go on a Wednesday but the whole alley was closed for a private event... it wasn't super busy (there were a few empty lanes on either side of us). Our server still checked on us regularly during our time there, which was nice. Drinks prices were pretty reasonable here and it was ~$36 for 2 people.

Maple Hall is a really unique concept that blends bowling with a cool urban restaurant. It's a fusion of sorts. This isn't a typical bowling alley. Set inside a historic building on Gay Street (our main street in downtown Knoxville), Maple Hall retains the old exposed brick and loft-like finish. But, despite the old, its also pretty flashy and modern. They have brand new lanes with fancy touchscreen controls. Also, very clean, mid-century style furnishings and sleek style throughout. Simple put -- It's beautiful inside. I can't think of many bowling alleys where I'd actually consider eating a meal. But, Maple Hall is on that level. They have some very good options on the menu and the servers are as attentive as any restaurant. It's super easy to reserve a lane too. They even text you when it's ready if there's a wait. Aside from the bowling area, Maple Hall has some very nice dining and meeting areas. This would be a great place for a party or event. Overall: Great! Wonderful option for bowling or food. Highly recommended.

Maple Hall is such a fun place - bowling, good food & drinks, friendly staff and great atmosphere! What more could you ask for? Highly recommend Maple Hall.

I was here a month ago for a yelp! event and really enjoyed it. I've been wanting to come back and finally did. This is such a cool space. The bowling area is awesome -- love the exposed brick, the layout of the lanes, the sofas, etc. The dining and lounge area is cool. The little upstairs bar might just become my favorite little hideaway haunt downtown. It was pushing 10:30pm when we popped in on a Saturday night. We grabbed spots at the end of the bar and settled in. The bartender was super cool, took great care of us. He even gave us a little education about the array of simple syrups that line the bar -- all made in house, by the way. I love it here and thing you will too. Until next time...

No creepy basement vibes here. This is one basement that I would love to hunker down in. They've made such a cool atmosphere with soft lighting, modern graphics and furniture, unique food and drinks, friendly/attentive staff, and of course you can get your bowl-on. Since we were on a rare date night and trying to fit in ALL.THE.THINGS. before relieving our babysitter, we only did an hour of bowling. However, we were able to fit in two full games as well as two shorter (5 frame, single-turn) games. That was one thing we both loved...the system allows you to choose from different types of games, if you so desire, with different screen graphics and goals. Neither of us are joining the PBA anytime soon with our under 100 scores (DOH!) but we sure did have a blast. It helps that the staff kept our booze glasses filled. ;-) It was pretty warm down there, so the Frose' was perfect and refreshing. My husband was happy to have his Angel's Envy bourbon available. Great time was had. We can't wait to come back with friends or even our kids. It is the type of place that could be great for dates or family/friend fun.

I seriously love this place! Classy underground bowling alley where adults can grab some drinks and food from the bar and hang out. The service has always been great and the ambience is chill.

Ask the Community - Maple Hall

Is the $20 bowling charge per lane or per player?

It's per player, per hour. There is a premium charge for weekends. We went on a Saturday and it was $20/hour for two players.

Good food and drinks is not usually a staple at a bowling alley but this place elevates with their nice menu!

The burger and fries from T Ralph's Burgers and Fries was amazing! Service was nice, they text you…read morewhen ready. On the expensive side but worth it every so often.

The brick building is easy to see as it stands out from all the other more modern-looking buildings…read morein the area. Depending on which way you are coming, you may need to drive to the far end of the parking lot past the bakery to enter the lot. There is a closer entrance but it is angled for the opposite direction and not an easy turn. There are also several one-way lanes in the parking lot so you may need to drive extra to get to an open parking spot. We did find handicapped spaces close to the entrance, but you need to drive to the back of the lot to get onto the one-way lane that goes past them. While these are the closest spots, it is still a bit of a walk to the entrance of the building, although everything is nicely paved and even. Once you get in, the interior is bright and inviting. There are many centralized seating options throughout the interior, mostly high-top tables but a few normal tables arranged in cozy settings. There is a patio in the rear of the building for when the weather is nice. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The center is made up of all the various eating establishments. There is no specific seating for the individual restaurants, so you will order your food from whatever place strikes you fancy and then take the food packaged into To Go containers to a table in one of the many seating areas. Make sure you pick up utensils and napkins from where you ordered your food as there is nothing on the tables. We were there after the lunch rush so it really was not crowded at all. There were small groups of people wandering around as well as several eating a late lunch. We did notice the overhead background music was loud and made conversation difficult. I could imagine during lunch or the in evening the overall sound level would be high as the acoustics do not favor conversation. This is pretty much only a food court. We had heard there were various craft shops as well, but apparently those had all closed. While the food selection is quite varied, addition of something to do other than eating would make this a destination location rather than just a food stop. There is some renovation happening in one end, so perhaps other shops are coming in the future. Still, it is a clean location with great interior space and makes use of a building with a lot of history that was important to the area.

Cool atmosphere it's an underground speakeasy type of deal and had a cool list of cocktails…read more My cocktail was pretty good I wouldn't get it again but I liked it and the banana and gin was fun and new. Tapas were good the carrots were by far the best roasted perfectly and the sauce was so flavorful. The crab dip was good but typical same with mushroom truffle pizza. The empanadas were good but a little dry I was glad they had sauce. Would go again and get the carrots and new items!

The Vault was our second stop on our cocktail hop night, and I'm so glad we found it!…read more First off, the interior is chef's kiss. The dark, glamorous aesthetic is stunning--perfect for date night or for impressing out-of-town guests. I loved the gold accents, layered textures, and thoughtful lighting. Everything worked together beautifully. We chose to sit at the bar to watch the mixologists work their magic. They were incredibly helpful in guiding us toward drinks that matched our preferences. I absolutely loved my cocktail--even if I can't recall the name--because it delivered the spicy kick they promised. We also ordered several shareable plates, all of which were delicious. We tried the Carnitas Tamales (shredded pork, ancho mole, fresh corn, masa, cilantro, yuzu arbequina oil), the Vegetable Empanadas (house-made pastry, wilted kale, roasted sweet potato, Oaxaca and cotija cheese, black bean purée, and adobo & chile-lime aioli), and a salad. I'd happily order any of them again. I did find myself wishing for a bit more heat, but I've learned that's hard to come by in Tennessee. At least the staff gave us a heads-up that the spice level is toned down. I'm already looking forward to coming back and exploring more of the menu. The vibe is fantastic--and while they have a nice outdoor space, the interior is so eye-catching I'm not sure I'd want to sit anywhere else.

The service was good, and my friend and I both really enjoyed our cocktails and entrées--they were definitely the highlight of the meal.

On a high note, the pistachio cream dessert was an absolute delight and the perfect way to end the night. Overall, a really lovely experience and I'd definitely go back!

I wasn't blown away and felt like the flavors were lackluster. The pasta was an alright red sauce, flavors could've been a bit more complex and boldly fresh. The Arancini tasted like a bland mushy hushpuppy in marinara. The best dish was the salmon, if I had to recommend anything! Super flaky with a crispy fish, paired nicely with the salad and potatoes. Service itself was good and the drinks were just okay. I like that they have many cocktail options to choose from, but my drink was honestly straight juice. As someone who's lightweight, I was shocked to find that the portions for drinks for the little amount of alcohol for $15 is a bit absurd (I got the st Richard ride). I'd only come once for the ambiance but it's pretty disappointing for what you pay. 6.5/10
