I came here with my bf and a few friends and it was a decent bowling experience, to start of the ambiance was nice everyone was nice but a lot of mid older people like 40 and up. For us taht didn't bother us because everyone was doing their own things. Do not get there piana colada it was very liquid and not really good, there strawberry margarita is a Purdue too so it tasted a bit weird, so maybe just stick with the soda products or beer. As far so the overall experience it was a nice time and highly recommend is you want something a bit calmer environment. Also the food was inexpensive like fries only $3-4,just the drinking weren't worth it in my opinion read more

Oakwood Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Washington, New Jersey

See all

My 2 sons and I came here and had a blast. Andrew and Matt were very helpful at the front desk and the food service was fantastic as well. Staff was much friendlier all around than the last time we had come here when there was a nasty blonde woman at the front desk. Overall great prices, great food, and tons of fun. Would definitely recommend. read more

Food service is terrible. Rugs smells. There is throw up on the floor by the restaurant entrance. Went to tell blonde lady at desk I was told it isnt her problem. read more

I've been coming here since I moved to Port Murray in 2004. The staff is friendly and welcoming. I got lost and caught up in the game and didn't realize my bowling tab was up to $50 one night and they took sympathy on me and gave me a few free game vouchers. The restaurant attached is one of the best (and only available) in the area and on par with the Draught House Restaurant down the road. read more

This place is terrible pinsetters keep knocking down pins missing pins and kids running around all over the lanes prices are fair but the lanes are terrible read more

Reasonably priced & well run. Very friendly staff! Clean & well organized. Our go to bowling alley.

I went here with my wife, 2 kids and also 2 cousins. We couldn't have had a better time. The outside of the establishment could use some work but the inside was loud and busy (which is obviously good for a bowling alley). The screens were technologically up to date and you could even take a picture of yourself to play as a character for bowling. The food was good (burgers, hot dogs, fries and drinks). Highly recommend this place! read more

Really good I really like it the food is good I'd be a little bit better what the fun they play music they play videos everybody

June 10th was my Grandson's 4 Birthday Party and it was nice. Food was delicious and the service the best and soo caring for anything was needed at the party. Kids had such a good time. My Grandson received a real bowling pin and all the children signed it. read more

We have done a school fundraiser here two years in a row and each has been fantastic! The staff are super helpful and so easy to work with. The students and parents all have a blast bowling, and the price is very reasonable. We love this place! Thank you for a wonderful night, Oakwood Lanes! read more

I like going here because I can buy beer and bowl with the boys but they are always having leagues and never enough free lanes. The seating is also fucked. Like it has depth with seating but the seating is focused on only one side of the split lanes so if you get the one without seats, you kind of have to sit farther back from the screens which is annoying. Larry is the guy though. Does everything around there. read more

Classic bowling alley with sports bar. Good food. Clean business. My daughters love bowling here

The blonde lady was also rude to me. I sat there for a while trying to get my shoes back while she and the fella were trying a sales pitch on some young guys. I just wanted my damn shoes. The bowling alley is great though! The alley tech is new and I think the wireless is slow. But it's fun, you can take your pictures, learn stats, etc. Even the arcade looked pretty sweet. It had new games, and they have these cool things for kids shaped like tanks & dinosaurs for them to be able to drop the ball from instead of trying to throw it. Definitely family friendly, and the rest of my party ate the food, and seemed ok after. So it's probably fine. They played fun top 40 music, and I would go again! read more

Incredibly rude staff. They made my young son so embarrassed when they didn't need to! Your establishment is a place with children watching how you respond to situations. Making children feel like nothing and not handling situations properly is not how to run a business read more

Solid bowling ally with good prices for bowling and the food/drink. Giving 3 stars because not sure why the one lady at the front desk is extremely passive aggressive. Was nothing but nice and polite and was met with extreme attitude. read more

This place is a scam. They do 50 cent games after 8 on Sunday's. We started our games at 7:58 and all of our games were full price and refused to work with us very rude customer service. read more

first of all my sister, friends and I went there on a saturday night and they closed at 12 am not 1 am and my sister left her phone there and we noticed when we already left we went back and the lady with the grey bob cut was just about leaving and we told her that there was a phone inside and she told us there wasn't a phone inside and but my sister and i just wanted to double check cause that's the only place it would be cause we just left their and she told us that she checked everywhere before she left and their was no phone so she just took off in her car and left which i know she didn't check because my friends were kind enough to clean up our area and put all our bowling balls away before we left she didnt even let us double check just to make sure but my sisters find my iphone is sayings it's literally there at the bowling alley. Also very disappointed as it came to around 12 am and we were finishing our last round they started to turn everything off and turned the music down like we weren't even there if you aren't open till 1 am on a saturday night i suggest changing your hours on yelp and google i wouldn't go here if you are looking for a good time and good service circle lanes in ledgewood is a much better and nicer place and are actually open till the time it says online read more

Small-town bowling alley that's a big value compared to others in more suburban settings. Staff was polite and helpful, lanes were just fine for a family of infrequent bowlers. read more

The food and service were great at this place! I ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich, it was very good! The drink selection is also very good at the bar, I just had a Coors light and it was not flat and very tasty. This is in the same place as the bowling alley, so you can get some food and then Bowl afterwards. I highly recommend! read more

Do not go here unless you want to get attitude from the two ladies that work there. We come here twice a week with a group of 10 or 12 to try and support a local business. We try and come Monday nights when we don't work for a fun night and every time we come we have trouble with the staff. The two women that work there particularly. We always call before we come to make a reservation and we never get in on our time. Monday night there is a league so they tell us we have to wait until 9pm to bowl. When we get there at 8:30 to wait, there are always 6-7 lanes available with nobody there. The ladies are constantly rude to us and make us sit and wait at a table away from the counter. We waited for 20 minutes past our reservation while other people next to us that we knew bowled with no reservation and were let in right away. The ladies at the counter do not like us for some reason. They were rude and yelled at us for bringing water in, they then yelled at us for playing another game halfway through it at 10:20 because they close at 10:30. Everyone next to us was still playing. We are just targeted constantly and it ruins our experience. We loved going here because the lanes really are great and it's a great place. But when we are constantly getting attitude from the ladies that work there it ruins the experience. read more

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!!!!!! DO NOT GO Quartermania on the website is NOT the right price it states it's 5.00 but it is 7.00. Also the draft beers are 3.50 NOT a dollar. People there are extremely rude and are scam artist. The advertisements are completely wrong. It advertises food is cheap on Quartermania days but the food shuts down before 9pm which is when Quartermania starts! It used to be a great place, but now it sucks! I will never go back because of their false advertisements. TOTAL RIP OFF read more

always a good atmosphere and the staff is friendly. every friday there is a DJ and disco lights which is pretty cool. there's also a restuarant connected and a food stand. plenty of bowling balls to choose from. always a clean environment. read more

I noticed someone on here commented about the blonde lady being rude. And that she is. I had taken teens with autism for rita's ice and then we went to the bowling alley. We barely got past the front door and she was up in our faces barking that there was no outside food allowed and I heard some other looser chime in that there was a big sign outside. So we left. I was watching the boys for the week and we went back on Friday for lack of anything else to do. Thank god that woman was not there, however, when I asked one of the kids that worked there if we could put the bumpers up he said they really aren't supposed to for people over 8. Wait, what???? If I just paid for a game and I want freaking bumpers up, put them up!!! I just told them they have autism and you need to put the bumpers up. I hate this place and wish there was something closer. read more

Oakwood Lanes is a great bowling alley. Sure it doesn't look like it has been updated in 20-30 years, but there is more to it than meets the eye. The center is a decent size, prices are not bad, glow bowling on weekends, and its probably the only thing to do in Washington. What makes this place stand out is the Owner and the people that work there. They reall do care and will always try and help. If you are a league bowler this is the spot you should go to. A lot of great bowlers who are great people. read more

Oakwood Lanes looks like your typical bowling alley but enter inside the updated alley boasts family friendly games and great parties. Located in the heart of Warren County, Oakwood specializes in customer care. While my child with autism was melting, I never felt it was a space we couldn't be. Mary, worked hard to correct a mistake made and called to confirm when it was complete. She also stood up to another patron when they commented on my special needs daughter. Thanks for making this space a safe place for all families. read more

Great place for a birthday party! We had a glow bowling party to celebrate my girls turning 3 and 5 and were extremely happy with the experience, start to finish! The staff were all easy going, professionals, and extremely helpful. The girls who worked as our party hosts did absolutely everything possible to make the day special for our girls, down to hand making each of them a birthday card! The prices were more than reasonable, and all of the kids and adults had a great time. It was refreshing to know you can still get amazing customer service and a special birthday experience without paying a fortune. I would definitely recommend Oakwood Lanes to anyone looking for a party venue. Perfect fun for kids of all ages, and great for all budgets. read more

Actually this place has pretty good food...not what you would expect from a bowling alley! My husband likes the steaks...the crab cake pasta dish is good! I had a fish dish once that was below average.The nachos not so great! Stick to beer,specialty drinks not so good and probably one of the worst long island iced teas I've ever had!Of course they didn't know what a beer rita was!! read more

We had my sons 7th birthday party here today. He wanted to invite his classmates (1st grade) and I didn't know all of the kids or parent for that matter. I was a little nervous inviting 14 kids, however I am So happy I chose to have our party at Oakwood lanes! Super accommodating, fun, and easy going! The kids had a blast glow bowling and playing in the arcade. I was blown away with the attentiveness of the party attendants as well! Thank you Sarah and Paige for all of your patience and kindness! We left with a signed bowling pin, party pictures and free game passes for all of our guests! Great place! Highly recommend for parties!!! read more

I really liked this bowling alley, everyone seems nice and there is a lot to offer. However, after last night's experience with the said blonde woman that other reviews have mentioned, I will not return. Nasty, doesn't or can't smile, and it always seems like you're bothering her. No thanks. read more

The blonde lady at the front desk is very very very rude, she came and yelled at us for sitting at an empty table and was not welcoming at all. She gave us the worst experience on my girlfriend's birthday, will not come back. read more

The staff is attentive, professional, and polite. It's the staff here that got this place the review!

Today I visited Oakwood 4 times and could not bowl. Each time I was they were full or had glow bowling going but was told if came back at time x I could bowl. Each time I came back and was given a new story. The staff needs to get their act together.. I understand a bowling alley needs have schools , special groups and camps. Just tell customers the truth. Dale O. read more

I come here bowling a few times a year. Definitely a hole in the wall kind of place, can be very busy depending on when you go. They have great game specials (check their website), food is decent for a bowling alley, and staff is fairly helpful. read more

Pretty standard interior/snack bar. There is a lady who works there who has been rude to me and my group every time we have gone, but if I was 70 and worked at a bowling alley I'd probably be a little testy too. Unfortunately not too many bowling options in the area. read more
