Best bowling alley in McHenry County HANDS DOWN. Family owned since it opened. The current owners,…read moreJim & John (father-son) are awesome. The lanes are constantly maintained & well oiled. Old school feel, (which is how a bowling alley should feel!) cheap beer (8$ pitchers!). Leagues are great and have a family feel to them. Open bowling one time per week (the day changes) $10 all you can bowl from 5-10. John does lessons and also runs the pro shop. Long story short, place is the best!!!

Sensory overload and I'm loving it!!!! Sights, sounds, feels, smells........it's got it all!…read more Bowlero is a great time for all. This was my first time at a Bowlero. Though there are a few options out there for multi-experience venue's, I was pretty impressed with my first visit to Bowlero. Upon entering, we quickly got set up with shoes and a lane for the evening's bowling festivities. We were a group of 6 for a work event. Some call it "team building". I call it getting out and having some drinks, food and fun. I guess their both correct, but my sounds more awesomer. (--- It's a word!) As we waited for the rest of our group to arrive, we walked over to the bar and ordered a couple of drinks. Easy enough. Once we were all there, we saddled up with some sweet clown shoes, grabbed our balls tightly and let it fly! We played 2 games in total. With 6 people, that took roughly 90 minutes or so. There is a very handy touch screen POS system at each lane. We were able to order food and drinks throughout our games. There was one downside to the POS for ordering. Unless we were doing it incorrectly, we needed to order and invoice each individual order. By the end of the night, we had about 5 individual receipts to tally up for expenses. I'm not certain if there is a way to keep a card or tab open, but we did not readily figure out how. We did have chicken nachos and wings (ordered traditional, got boneless). Both were as good as expected. Would I go back? Totally. Whether you're going as a couple or larger group, Bowlero has a lot to offer. They did have a variety of video games as well, however we didn't venture over there. Friends, work or family, you're guaranteed to have a good time at Bowlero. And if you don't, well, I have a feeling that it's you and not Bowlero.

First of all, I called during the day to confirm the pricing and times for unlimited bowling. They…read moretold me the special unlimited spring break pricing ended at 6 and then the regular unlimited pricing starts after that. However, when I got here at 6:15 the person told me I would need to wait until 8 o'clock for the unlimited bowling. On top of it there were about 30 lanes open and they told us we would have to wait 45 minutes for a lane. The person that told us all this was Madison and she was not helpful or considerate in anyway. Then we started bowling and not one single server had come to our table to ask us how is it going or if we needed anything. Also, on a Friday night there shouldn't be one bartender . I went to get a refill on a Sprite and it took 10 minutes. I just wanted to walk behind the bar and make it myself. I do not recommend this place for bowling as it's VERY expensive and no one wants to help you out and makes you wait for everything .

Lanes are fine and well maintained…read more We wanted to bowl on a specific day and used their online reservation system. Reserved a time and prepaid For 1.5 hours of bowling. When we arrived, the guy at the counter seemed confused (lots of mumbling and no eye contact) said we needed to pay extra because their online prices hadn't been updated. Told him it was their problem and we had already paid. He had difficulty processing this and another employee finally stepped in and told us it was fine. We had pre-paid for 1.5 hours of bowling, but they shut out lane down 15 minutes before the time was up. I guess they needed the extra $3 and were determined to get it one way or another. NEVER coming back...

The bingo caller was great and the bbq wings I had were so good! I mean, it's a bowling alley with decent food. What more could you ask for? When I was searching for a bowling ball I found these really fun, cartoon character ones that were perfect for anybody who wants to relive their cartoon days. I love the fact that most every lane was taken, and everybody was having a great time. For those of you that like to play pool, there's pool tables too. I'm so glad I came back and had just as much fun this time as I did the last. It's a great place to come on a cold winter day... something to do to keep everybody entertained.

Went back to talk with her about the difference in price. She became very rude said something like, " I don't have time for you and proceeded to wait on someone else. At one point she came to our table, and I ask for the manager. The manager finally came to the table. In a very rude tone, he replied We can talk about this after bingo and walked away. Final outcome the rude server ask for our receipt, which I told her I want it back. She came back with the adjusted price and a refund, if anyone is going to this place I would check you receipt vs the menu price. Never going back and I will let other people know how rude they were.

They've remodeled the interior, though there are still a few games I recall playing back in the day! My cousins kid opted for mini golf and had a great time, but this course hasn't changed at all and that's not a good thing. The design makes it easy for kids to knock their balls off the designated path, which our birthday star did several times. The water features weren't running and even the ponds were empty which ruins the view and pictures. After, we went inside for food and games. The kid was offered a red or blue slushie. He asked what flavor they were and was told they are both raspberry... he didn't like it. Raspberry is not typically any kids favorite flavor, they should expand on the options a bit. The pizza looked OK, it's about the quality you'd expect from this kind of place. They brought out a wheel and the kid got to spin for some free tickets, which he loved. They brought out a bowling pin as a keepsake for everyone to sign which is another nice touch. I'll give credit to the staff, the guy interacting with our group did a great job hyping up the kids. I didn't get to check out the other amenities such as bowling and go-carts so I can't speak on them, but I've bowled here before and enjoyed myself. In the fall they do a haunted house. I've never attended it but that's another thing to consider. Honestly if the mini golf course was in better condition I'd give them another star but the empty ponds with visible pipes was ugly and off-putting. That said this seems like a good way to entertain some kids for a day.

We stopped here with my family because they wanted to play some bowling and had heard this place was good (they're very competitive bowlers). This place is run-down PERIOD. Water damage on the ceiling, scratched up lanes and balls, and no computers (you keep the score with a piece of paper). The main positive was the staff, who was only one woman. She was very friendly and accommodating. They do have a SMALL bar, but not many options -- mostly sodas and chips. We did enjoy playing pool after our bowling matches, which is only $1 to play. We eventually left because there's a musty/smoky smell and we felt a little bit like we were bothering the worker -- they're clearly short-staffed. My opinion? This place is a cute time capsule to old-school bowling, but past its prime for sure.
