These guys do great, and boy do they get busy on the weekends. We had a double adult birthday here, specifically, because they have better food options than other surrounding alleys, and a full bar that pours some nice stiffies. The lanes are in great shape, and the lane sitting area is really quite beautiful, in a wood-antique(y) kind of way. Every staff member was friendly and helpful, and the alley hostess was a hoot! Easy to get to off the highway, very clean, and an overall excellent experience for us once-a-year bowlers... read more

We had a great time at River City Lanes. It was a super relaxed environment with electronic scoring. The staff were great. An arcade, restraint and bar round out the experience. read more

River City Lanes - Bowling Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

River City Lanes is a great bowling alley for families. You can reserve and pay for your lanes and shoes ahead of time online. There is a small arcade that's perfect for non-bowlers or pre/post bowling fun! There's a machine to buy/recharge playing cards for the arcade!The workers are friendly! And the food is pretty good too! We suggest the sampler with egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, wings, and mini corn dogs...our kids loved it! Bring the whole family!!! read more

River City Lanes - Cosmic bowling (12:30-2:30 on Saturday)...not sure what the normal times are for cosmic bowling - Bowling Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

I'm not a bowler, but I came here for the food on the recommendation of a friend. Not sure quite what to expect, since it's a bowling alley. The bowling alley itself is rather noisy, but the restaurant has a door that blocks out most of the noise. The nice young lady behind the bar attended to me promptly, and I ordered a small 8" pizza (The Big Four) and just for giggles, a small order of mini-corndogs. Since I was on two wheels, I just had water. The corn dogs came out first, and they were better than I expected. Hot, fresh, corndoggy-ish goodness with mustard to dip them in. The pizza came out while I was chowing down on the corn-dogs, but it was still hot when I finished the dogs and moved on to the main dish. The crust was a mix of thin and hand-tossed, not overtaking the pizza but thick enough to hold the toppings. The sauce was good, the toppings were excellent, and between the two orders I spent less than $20. This place is a hidden gem if you're looking for fast good food without breaking the bank. read more

Our group has been going to sunset bowling since high school dispute us all living in post falls. we finally decided to go to river city one night and were more than disappointed. not only was the staff very "tired of it" the whole time but we couldn't even have our drinks near the ball return. the entire night we had "car salesmen" like ladies asking us if we wanted refills before we finished our drinks. the poor family next to us felt the need to completely compress their party due to the shared benches they have set up. id must rather have the "table per lane" that sunset bowling has without the constant pressure to get hammered from the bar tenders and "help". never had a group so uncomfortable in a social setting before. read more

We had a spur of the moment birthday get-together for my son in the restaurant/bar this evening. I coordinated with Natalie and although it was a league night, everything went smoothly. She helped us make it a fun gathering & made sure the pizzas that we ordered were cut to accommodate our large group. She handled the large volume of customers with ease. I'm impressed. The pizzas were delicious with hand tossed crusts. Everyone was able to enjoy the beverage of their choice and the prices were very reasonable. If you are looking for a casual, friendly place to relax with friends, this is it. I highly recommend River City Lanes. read more

Lanes were nice, front staff friendly. Shoes and balls were all in nice condition. A little pricey for a Sunday afternoon

Stopped by on our trip to Canada. Good food, good brews, great service, batting cages! good vibe.

Great little bowling alley and tons of fun. Balls are beat to hell with massive gouges and scratches throughout, which I'm going to say is why I sucked so bad at bowling. The balls. Not my manly bowl rolling precision and power, that's for sure. They have a bar and food. Both looked highly adequate and up to the task of lubricating gullets and filling stomachs. Prices are like $6/game excluding shoe rental. My lovely lady and myself bowled two games and it cost about $33. Not bad. read more

Staff are extremely friendly! This was an awesome experience for my kiddos, their first time bowling, and for my wife and I! The lanes were well waxed and clean, equipment was well maintained. No issues at all. Service at the bar top was supreme! Well done River City! We will be back! read more

Such a fun place to go! It was my third, maybe fourth time come here and my boyfriend's first time. We did the night deal (I don't remember it), but we basically paid $30 from 8:15p-11p. And we got 7 rounds of fun. Good service. Food was delicious. Vibe was amazing, especially since we were the last people in. It made date night so much more fun when everyone around was in a great mood, good conversations, great service, and fun environment. We will definitely be coming back here for another date night read more

I had the taco salad at the bowling alley and loved it! There were plenty of jalapeños, the salad was fresh, lots of toppings! It was so good! We also ordered a cheese pizza and even though the crust had a little char, it was delicious! I would recommend asking for extra salsa and sour cream because this salad is a tummy filler! read more

River City Lanes - Veggie wrap with Salad. - Bowling Near Me - Post Falls, Idaho

We had our company Christmas party here and had a blast. We had 8 lanes with 20+ employees with their spouses and children. We had the buffet, pizza, wings, salad, brownies, they even made us some fries, sodas, drinks. I thought it was super expensive but they catered to us and it was worth the price. I'll probably make this a yearly tradition. read more

Love having dinner in the restaurant. Food is always spot on and service is always top notch!

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food I ordered. Pizzas and calzones are tasty and packed with flavor. Ingredients are high quality and the restaurant/bar staff is not averse to chatting about whatever is on your mind. They keep it clean, though it does have the feel of any other bowling alley or billiards establishment. Haven't done any bowling here, so I can't speak to it, but you should try the food whether or not you want to knock down some pins. read more

I am very impressed, my daughter had a birthday party scheduled for Saturday and because of a scheduling conflict we were able to cancel and get a full refund. The staff was so helpful and kind. I will definitely schedule another time with this great company. read more

We ordered two cheese burgers and a pepperoni pizza. The burgers were overcooked and bland which I could have actually overlooked but the wilted lettuce and BROWN pickles were soo disgusting that it's hard to believe that anyone would actually try and serve such slop. The pizza was totally soggy and gross. I called the manager to complain and asked for a refund for the gross food we threw away and he told me that he would talk to the kitchen and that they "might issue me a credit" I told him I didn't want a credit becuase I won't ever eat there and asked for a refund and he told me that was out of the question. I'd avoid the food. I try support local businesses but when they sell you trash and act like it's no big deal then there's not much to support. read more

Great food, the environment you are surrounded makes you feel part of a family. all the servers and front desk workers are really nice even when they look stressed. all of them worked great under pressure. the food is just the slightest bit expensive but its amazing! 10/10 recommend. read more

We had a great time here last weekend! Had a small snafu with the buzzer not working, so we were not alerted when our lane was ready, but they handled it with grace and got us taken care of! read more

This is hands down the most repellent business I've gone to in the Pacific Northwest, possibly around the entire country. Before reading my whole review, please be aware that I ordered food for takeout and did not bowl. So my first and only experience here was when I came here during a football game football game to grab some pizza and wings to take home. This place has always been on DoorDash, so they offer takeout and delivery but I had cash on me and wanted to pay cash and that's how my experience went down hill. I called in and they acted like doing a takeout order was such a burden on them. Get put on hold, then on hold again, and finally got to order. I get it and that's where my experience went hill. Well, there's no clear marking on where to go for takeout orders. I saw food, so I went to the counter. I waited in line for several minutes, got to the front, and the very rude worker acted like I was dumb for not knowing I needed to go to the bar. Waited in line for a good 15 minutes with the slowest service ever before finally getting to the front of the line. By the time I did, my food was lukewarm due to too much waiting in line. It was completely ridiculous. I paid a lot of money for this food too, but I was willing to forgive the rudeness and their inability to properly do takeout business, if the food was good. The wings were absolutely disgusting. Completely inedible and I'm not even sure if they were chicken wings. The meat under the skin was dark. I don't know if it means it's rotten meat or the dark part of a chicken or the wings of some other bird. After taking a bite into and spitting it out, I carefully nibbled on the next then hand peeled a few other apart and they all looked the same. Now for the quality of the pizza. They proudly advertise themselves as a brick oven pizza place. In my experience, a brick oven generally means good. Back in the old days before I was born, pretty much all pizzas were cooked in these old style ovens before they switched over to the conveyor ovens to cook more pizzas at once. Well, brick oven doesn't always mean good and here it doesn't. Here it was code for "don't pay attention to the pizza, leave it in the oven, let it burn, and hope the customer doesn't notice it." The whole thing was just not good even without the burning. If you're going here to bowl, you might have a good time, but I'd recommend eating before or afterwards after my horrendous experience. read more

Love this place! Kids go nuts in the arcade. Bowling. Music. Happy people. Good vibes. Great service. Food is shockingly good. I didn't expect them to have some of my favorite pizza around town. Been here half a dozen times and haven't had a bad time yet. read more

Alisha is the best! She is always on top of it. Seems to know what we always need before we ever have to ask. Always has a beautiful smile on her face and treats everyone with joy. read more

I got screwed here. I paid for two lanes. $45.00. When I arrived I asked to cancel one lane. I was told multiple times that I would be gift cards the other lane. Then I was told no. So I decided to run both lanes. As I was setting up the second lane to bowl; an employee said that I would be refunded as they had given the lane to someone else. At the end I went to the desk an was told no refund. So the alley collected two fees for the same lane and I got screwed. It sucks to prepay then not even be able to use the lane. My name is Dawn Hull. Please let me know if this happened to you. read more

The service was amazing up until the end of me being there I payed $12 for a drink and took one drink out of it and went back to bowl and when I came back they had taken my entire drink read more

Two times I have tried to go here and they are full of leagues. They apparently don't need any more business, don't waste your time.

Great customer service at both the bowling desk and bar/restaurant. Staff was friendly, helpful and competent! Food was surprisingly excellent. We had burgers, chicken wraps and Cobb salad. It was all fantastic. We wish we could say we'd be back soon, but we're just rolling through while on a road trip... this place has made our day! read more

Went here on a date and had so much fun. From the outside it doesn't look like a bowling alley but the inside is nice, clean and family friendly. There is 2 entrances, one in each side of the building, in addition to the lanes, a mes arcade, tables for dining and a very large bar and lounge. Clean and rustic looking with friendly and helpful staff. read more

This place is fun. It gives a very 80s Friday night vibe. The food is good too! Price is kinda up there. The arcade is pretty cool too. Definitely a family friendly experience for the most part. read more

Great food, great bowling, and a very friendly staff. We started coming here once places started opening back up and Covid restrictions were easing, and I'm glad we did. We've become loyal customers, and have even started bowling on a couple leagues here because everyone is so friendly and nice. The food is really good, and I am happy to be eating dinner here a few times a week. read more

Amazing service and amazing staff! They recommended the pizza and the chicken bacon ranch was to die for!

Great place to bowl and drink beer! Batting cages are fun too! Service excellent! Great ambience!

Very nice for bowling but arcade needs updating. Overall clean and fun would definitely go back with the kids.

Have you met Eli?! He's is the most bad*** bartender/manager ever! Thank you Eli for always keeping us hydrated and being the best human to deal with! read more

Had a bad time, had to leave early because of some drunk dumb fucks in the other lane and kept bugging us telling us that they were in there space when they took up our lane, did not get a refund for leaving early. Do not recommend these people do not monitor how much alcohol you drink. DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

love this plays so much I'm going to day 10/2/22 good better then sunset. sunset is rude and some people are kind they don't let you reserve lanes read more

K so we don't eat here. I find bowling alleys are just for bowling type of thing. My own preference. So I can't speak of the food. However the bowling here is great. It's a bowling alley, they aren't paved in gold or ever super super nice and clean. We enjoy a night with the kids watching them figure out what to do. I also enjoy date nights and girls night out here too. Bowling is just fun. Don't think you can really mess it up. It's like going to good will or seven 11, you already know what to expect. It is what it is and you just enjoy what you get. read more

Had a birthday party here for my two toddlers. The staff was INCREDIBLY helpful and professional, they really took care of everything and were very clear and detailed in what we were responsible for and what they would provide. The food was amazing, everything was perfectly set up for the little ones and their friends, and the place was so clean! Fun lights and music, will be coming back for years to come. read more

Horrible bowling alley. Rude staff, extremely over price bowling for crappy lanes. Undersized facility. And their food is horrible. They won't let you bring any food from outside because they are very greedy and want you to pay absurd amounts of money. Will never go here again. Bowling Congress should not allow them to host children leagues. read more

More than twice the price of Sunset and the new configuration of the seating is horrible especially when they put 7 kids on the lane next to you. Food is horrible too. Avoid this place read more
