I attended a birthday celebration here on a Friday evening while I was visiting family in Baltimore. The bowling alley is located in the Little Italy area. I circled the block several times looking for a parking spot which I finally found on a side street. Parking can be tricky In this area so I read all the signs to ensure I would not get a parking ticket. The outside of Mustang alley & Bistro is unassuming. I had to ask someone standing outside if I was at the correct place since I didn't see any signs. Once I took the elevator up and the doors opened, I was pleasantly surprised. The place is upscale with a large bar area and a nice amount of lanes to bowl. Our host had already paid for the lanes and shoes so when we walked in the friendly staff handed us shoes in our size and I was able to purchase socks for only $2 since I was wearing sandals. The socks were super cute. There were about 20 people in our group and I was starving. I wasn't sure what to expect from the food and with such a large group I anticipated it would take a long time to get our orders back. The young man who was our waiter was professional and friendly, he took everyone's order and did not get anything wrong. Our drinks came out fast, I had the Boozy Blueberry lemonade, it was decent. My entrée was delicious. I had the Crab cakes with a Ceasar salad and fresh steamed mixed veggies. I didn't see my entrée on the menu but our waiter suggested it and when in Baltimore if available I always order crab cakes. They weren't the best that I've had but exceeded my expectations for where we were at. Bowling was fun. Everything was clean including the restroom. Service was impeccable, the food and drinks were good. I had a great experience.

This was my first time at this swanky bowling alley and it exceeded my expectations! Mustang Alley is outfitted with a couple of duck-pin and classic 10-pin bowling lanes, well designed for bowling and/or dining in fun, relaxed, and charming ambiance. Parking is available at Little Italy Garage or street parking. Upon arrival, we had a smoothly easy check-in for our 11-person group, the staff were so friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The bar is gorgeous, just a nice structure centering the bowling restaurant. It was my birthday and sipped on some Blue Moon on tap (yum!) or Boozy Berry Lemonade (super yummy!) Our 1.5 hours of bowling was fun, the music was spot on, and the lights made it a fun night! Our bowling reservation paced well, but now I wish we did 2 hours of bowling! Well there is always next time :) I hope to be back again soon, I was thoroughly impressed and glad I had my birthday party at this swanky cool joint!

Food: delicious (especially for a bowling alley) - and there are some gluten free options too!! Score! Ambiance: sooo cute on the inside and very eclectic. One minor downfall is the outside ambiance/finding it - I found it slightly challenging and it's not super well advertised outside! Bowling: mostly great - our lane did stop working at one point but it was fixed quickly and didn't interrupt the game. Would totally return!

In all my time in Baltimore I can't believe I have not been here! This place was so much fun. I went to hang out with some friends and they recommended this bowling spot. The place is kind of difficult to find. My spouse and I walked around looking for the entrance. Its towards the side and you'll have to take an elevator up. Once we arrived the staff was helpful in getting out shoes. Here you will have to give your shoes and will be given them back once you return your shoes. The place felt like a cool bar, like those bars that you imagine you'd be in when you grew up. Kinda classy, kinda kickback. I remember thinking, this is the kinda bar I would love to hang out in. The drinks were delicious and reasonable. The staff was nice and prompt. They served our food quickly and were fast to bring out refills. The bowling itself was a little meh, the machines kept breaking and giving us odd scores. The balls were also getting stuck. It seemed like it was an issue on other lanes. I think overall its fun to be at and look forward to trying it again when in baltimore.

Let me start this off by saying the outside was a little bit intimidating, especially because of the location and the parking... When you go inside, you have to go in an office building and get in a really weird elevator to go upstairs to the alley itself. However, once you get upstairs, the ambience is extremely nice and the music was more than pleasing. My friends and I went here and we had an absolutely amazing time. They both duck bowling and regular bowling, a really great menu with a lot of choices, and our server Kyle was extremely nice, friendly, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of. Our food came out very quickly and was SO delicious, we ate it so fast I couldn't even get any pictures! Highly recommend the Crab Fries and Firecracker Shrimp!! Definitely check this place out, a hidden Baltimore Gem! Great for dates or a fun time with friends!

We came in on a Thursday night without a reservation. Oops! It turns out that Wednesday and Thursday are their bowling league nights so the only lanes available were duckpin lanes. I didn't mind because I suck at all types of bowling but be mindful if that's a deal breaker for you. Additionally, be advised that they close early (9:30 PM) on league nights. The place itself was one of those "bowling but it's cool" places with a bar, a good music selection, and ambiance. Up to six people can bowl per lane reservation and it's $52 per hour per lane. I like the fact that you can order from the lanes and they'll bring your drinks right to you. I didn't like the sticky balls *shudders*. Mustang Alley is a good time and worth a look.

I had such a great time at Mustang Alley. I always knew it existed but never ventured to go because 1. Expensive 2. I'm not the best bowler. Since my nails are currently cut short, I'm like why not give it a try. I mean, there is alcohol. Once you have that, who cares if you get score a gutter or two lol. Anyway, I loved the facility. Clean, extensive menu and great drinks. Expensive, yes. But a great time overall.

We were here for our annual team party. Such an amazing place. Great rustic decor unlike other bowling alleys that are too flashy for someone's comfort. I really liked their interiors. Takes you back to the early 2000s. It's a nice place for team building activities. We had a nice spread of food that had from crab dips, egg rolls, homemade chips, grilled chicken slider, beef slider, fish slider, salad and delicious vegetarian kabobs. We had a open bar so I tried Miller's lite and temptation cocktail. I had to limit my drinks as I had to drive a long way. We then spent time at the bowling alley. Unfortunately our lane (10) was not functioning well as we had to reset it every time someone got a strike. Also, it would sometimes reset my pins when only a couple of pins were left and it was still my turn. Anyways, some negatives aside, it's a great place to hang out with friends, colleagues and family.

Unfortunately, a bit underwhelming…read more We came in during restaurant week and did the price fix menu. Unfortunately, I don't think that this was a great showcase of the restaurants abilities. For food, I had the Caesar salad to start, which I can honestly say was a decent caesar, nothing to write home about, but no complaints either - think your basic Caesar. For my main I had the crabcake entrée and to be honest it was just not good. The crabcake was beyond dry and the coleslaw and fries were fine but that that's not what I came for. I do have to say that dessert was great, the carrot cake was without any complaints. The only other thing that I had was the seasonal martini on the drink menu and it was so bad that I couldn't take more than one sip. Other people did like their food, but we all left saying that it was not a great meal. In discussing service, the service itself was good. Our waitress was attentive, but kept jumping into our conversation and wasn't dressed totally appropriately for wait staff in my opinion, she was very attentive though. Ambience is interesting here - it feels as though it has no ambience almost. It's just like a bunch of tables in an outdated restaurant with minimal decor. Overall, I will probably not be coming back to Sobo and can't say that I would recommend others do so.

I was disappointed because I was nervous to try a new dish that they had just added the same week (no time to get feedback and perfect the dish). I ended up with chicken, brussel sprouts, and potatoes from the keto menu to be safe on the flavors. That did not exactly pan out for me, as the chicken was tremendously dry and overcooked. I did not send it back because I was already starving, but I did not enjoy that particular meal. The potatoes and brussels were tasty though With that, our service was efficient and the restaurant is a nice vibe as always.

Our party of 6 did not have a reservation and ended up waiting about 1.5 hours on a Friday. The hosts seemed a bit overwhelmed with the busyness of the evening - not sure if they just needed some extra hands on deck. Outpost has good cocktails and mocktails. The wings are a go-to for us and the burger does not dissapoint at all. However the star of the show at our last visit was the Brussels sprouts!! Sooo flavorful and crisped up. Highly recommend. Definitely stop by here if you have a reservation or a relatively small party and looking for a tasty lunch or dinner!

Vibes were comfy and cozy, with a neighborhood bar feel where if you're a regular they probably know your name and drink order. Parking is very tricky because this restaurant is in a residential area. My bf got the halloumi carbonara but unfortunately it was quite salty. Not just the crispy halloumi bits but the actual noodles and sauce as well. I got the brazillian picanha and though there was a miscommunication about the meat temp, it was promptly handled and I enjoyed the steak itself. The sides of mashed potatoes and asparagus however were a little weak compared to the steak itself. I can't explain it but the seasoning felt a bit off on the horseradish mashed potatoes. Dessert was excellent- we split the chocolate guava tart.

Given my experience with DC and other parts of MD, I was determined to contact them ahead of time and make sure I would have a spot for brunch. But after some contact on IG, they said it's just walk-ins and I would most likely get a table with no effort or wait. I was concerned... but they were right! So we got settled immediately and started ordering. Our gracious server asked for drinks, which have a bottomless option during brunch. We could pick from mimosas, crushes, sangria and bloody marys. I tried everything but the bloody marys, and while they were good, whew there was a lot of ice in the mimosa... I'm not used to ice there, so it threw me off but it was still good! The REAL highlight was the food... the item I got changed my life: Crab. Cake. Eggrolls. They came with this amazing sweet chili sauce and were so filling and delicious! I also got chicken & waffle sliders to go that had a nice kick and the waffle texture was great! My cousin enjoyed his food as well. Also, shout out to the bagel wall that's on the way to the bathroom. It had great options and all the fixings! If I wasn't full I would've gotten one myself. I will return here for brunch.

Here is something I literally have never experienced anywhere else: My sister has a couple of food allergies and she gave the waitress a piece of paper where she listed out what she can and cannot have. A few minutes later, a lovely young woman (I think she said she was a manager) came out and discussed the list with my sister in detail, just to make sure the restaurant got it exactly right. My sister almost cried! As far as timing goes: They don't take reservations, but they have an efficient system -- when you arrive, they take down your name and phone number, tell you how long the wait will be, and then text you when it's your turn. They told us 40 minutes but it turned out to be only 20, so it's good we hadn't wandered too far away. Next time we're in Baltimore, we'll definitely be back.
